Abstract

The antioxidant activity of solvent extracts of leaves, trunk and root Pueraria Radix was determined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on l.l-diphenyl-2-picrylny drazyl(DPPH) radical. Extacts prepared from root showed radical scavenging effect on DPPH radical. But, extracts prepared from leaves and trunk did not show activity. The ethyl acetate ewtract of Pueraria Radix root showed radical scavenging activity at an IC 50 value of 75.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$.
