dc.description.abstractMedicinal plants containing high antioxidant properties play an important role in the prevention of various degenerative diseases in the society. Cassia species have been of keen interest in phytochemical and pharmacological research due to their excellent medicinal values. Hence the present study is aimed at investigating the free radical scavenging activity of selected parts of Cassia senna. The different solvent extracts of leaf and pod parts of Cassia senna were analysed for the various free radical scavenging activity. All solvent extracts of the leaves and pods exhibited varying degree of free radical scavenging effect on DPPH radical, inhibition of super oxide radical generation; inhibition of nitric oxide radical generation, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide and ABTS radical. The petroleurh ether extract of both leaf and pod parts showed the maximum level of radical scavenging activity, while a moderate activity was observed In all the other solvent extracts of leaf and pod.en_US
