ABSTRACT
In present study hydroalcoholic extract of Anacyclus pyrethrum was investigated for the phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity. Phytochemical screening of the plant showed the presence of glycosides, carbohydrates, phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, proteins and amino acids and diterpenes. Antioxidant activity was assessed by using 2, 2- diphenyl-1picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay using ascorbic acid as standard antioxidant. The data obtained from all these models clearly suggested that the antioxidant activity of hydroalcoholic extract of Anacyclus pyrethrum was significant and dose dependent. The present study reveals that hydroalcoholic extract of Anacyclus pyrethrum can be used as a potential source of natural antioxidant which may be treat various oxidative stress related diseases.
