Abstract

4 Abstract: Artimisia scoparia is extensively used as a natural therapeutic agent in the treatment of various diseases. The current study was designed to explore antioxidant potential of extract/fractions in DPPH free radical and reducing power assays. The results suggested marked antioxidant potential of extract/fractions in both DPPH and reducing power assays. Of the test articles, ethyl acetate was the most dominant fraction in both assays followed by crude methanolic extract. In conclusion, A. scoparia illustrated an outstanding antioxidant activity.
