The present study was to compare the effects of in-vitro antioxidant activity between the various leaf extracts (Petroleum ether, Benzene, Ethyl acetate, Methanol and Ethanol) of Crateva magna. The free radical scavenging activity was found to be high in ethanol and methanol extracts for DPPH, hydroxyl, superoxide, ABTS and reducing power assays in a concentration dependent manner followed by ethyl acetate, petroleum ether and benzene extracts. The present results recommend that the leaf extracts (methanol and ethanol) of C.magna could serve as potential alternative source antioxidants and can be explored as a good therapeutic agent in the free radical induced diseases.
