Abstract

In this study, Antioxidant activity was performed by DPPH radical scavenging method for hydroalcoholic extract of leaves of Dracaena trifasciata plant, which showed that hydroalcoholic extract of leaves of this plant on higher concentration possess better antioxidant potential when compare to reference standard quercetin. They exhibited strong antioxidant DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50 value of 119.04 and 39.21 for leaves extract and quercetin respectively. The antioxidant activity of hydroalcoholic extract could be due to the presence of flavonoids and phenols. Extracts were shows remarkable sunscreen activity with maximum sunscreen factor value of 16.3 at 100µg/ml concentration
