Abstract

Plant research has been intensified worldwide in the recent times.a large number of medicinal plants and their purified constituents have immense therapeutic potentials and have been reported to exhibit antioxidant activity of ethanolic extracts of Vaccinium cyanococcus fruit. In-vitro antioxidant activity was investigated by using DPPH assay, total antioxidant and reducing power assay. The preliminary phytochemical analysis is also carried out. The results of the present study clearly depicted that ethanolic extract of Vaccinium cyanococcus fruot has potent antioxidant activity. From the HPLC,LC-MS studies it become to know that the Vaccinium cyanococcus contains rutin,quecetin which acts as a potent anti-oxidant and antiinflammatory instrument.

Keywords: DPPH, Reducing power assay, Vaccinium cyanococcus.
