Though anti-dote or anti-snake venom serum is freely available at government health care centres yet is marred by inept handling, storage and lack of specificity. In India, most of the venomous snakes belong to the Elapidae__ampersandsignamp;Viperidae families. Aim: The need of the hour is to discover new anti-dotes which are not only cheap but can act against a wide range of snake venoms. In this paper, the venom of the Flavanoids has been reported to have anti-snake venom activity due to which the cabbage (Brassica oleracea) was selected for its high flavonoid content. Methodology: The leafy body of Brassica oleracea var capitata (family: Brassicaceae) was chosen to be studied as a source of anti-dote against the venom of Russell__ampersandsignrsquo;s viper (Daboiarusselii). The leaves were used to prepare an extract which was tested for having the potential to reduce proteolysis in plasma cells in presence of the venom. Results: The effective concentration 50 (EC50) of Russell__ampersandsignrsquo;s viper (Daboiarusselii) was determined on goat__ampersandsignrsquo;s plasma at 4.54 micron/mL and the aqueous extract of cabbage was seen to prevent proteolysis. Next, the minimum coagulant dose (MCD) was calculated at 3.69 __ampersandsignmicro;g/ml for goat__ampersandsignrsquo;s plasma and the aqueous extract of cabbage was seen to delay venom induced plasma clotting. Conclusion: An analysis of these results indicate that cabbage can be a potential source of extract capable of reducing physiological effects caused by snake venom.&#13;
