Abstract :

Traditional medicinal still remains the first choice for primary treatment of diseases. The present study focuses on investigation of pharmaceutical properties of 5 selected plants namely Psidium guajava, Moringa olifera, Ocimum sanctum,Citrus lemon, and Murraya koenigii from Gwalior region. The crude was extracted in aqeous and petroleum ether for further testing. Phytochemical screening of the extract were evaluated. Antioxidant potential of plant extract were checked by NO, DPPH radical, H2O2 scavenging activity. All extract exhibited significant amount of secondary metabolites present in the aqeous and petroleum ether extract. The highest phenol content and flavanoid were observed in Psidium guajava for both extract. Compared to control all plants displayed significant antioxidant potential. The obtained activities of the tested extract could be due the presence of different terpenoid, alakaloid, flavonoid and others present in the plants.
