The study was designed to evaluate the en2ymic and Aon enzymic antioxidant status and in vitro free radical scavenging effects ofAcalypha indica. The leaves and roots o^Acafypha indica were found to have appreciable amounts of enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants. The benzene, chloroform, acetone and methanol extracts exhibited potent in vitro free radical scavenging activity. Therefore, Acafypha indica leaves and roots can be used for treatment of diseases caused by free radicals (Keywords: Enzymic antioxidants, non-enzymic antioxidants, free radical scavenging activity).
