ABSTRACT

Methanolic extracts of four medicinal plants used to treat diabetes mellitus grown in Manipur, India were
evaluated for their radical scavenging activity using DPPH assay. Out of the four medicinal plants
evaluated, two plants showed high efficacy, one plant extract gave moderate antioxidant activity and the
other plant exhibited a remarkable lower antioxidant potential. Syzygium cumini, a popular and widely
used plant to treat DM, gave the highest antioxidant activity in the present investigation.
KEY WORDS: Radical scavenging activity, DPPH, Ascorbic acid, methanolic extracts and antioxidant.
