Free radicals formed from reactive oxygen species can oxidize biomolecules leading to tissue injury and cell death. Oxidative stress is generated by imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants. Hence, to overcome this problem, an attempt has been drawn by studying Ichnocarpus frutescens stem extract. In order to study it we have gone through total phenolic content, total flavonoid content as quantification of secondary metabolite. As far as antioxidant activity concerns, DPPH radical scavenging, reducing power assay and total antioxidant activity were performed and analyzed. During this analysis, we have found that 80% ethanol showed maximum activity as compared to 50% and 95% ethanolic extract of Ichnocarpus frutescens stem.
