10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 8 Issue 2 2017 (April - June) Here, relative total phenolics, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, total antioxidant potentials and phytochemical profiles of seven ethnomedicinally important, mostly antitumor, plant parts' aqueous extracts (leaves of: lessThan i greaterThan Cordia dichotoma lessThan /i greaterThan , lessThan i greaterThan Holoptelea integrifolia, Crinum asiaticum lessThan /i greaterThan ; aerial parts of: lessThan i greaterThan Croton bonplandianum lessThan /i greaterThan , lessThan i greaterThan Cayratia carnosa lessThan /i greaterThan , lessThan i greaterThan Scadoxus multiflorus lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan lessThan /i greaterThan seeds of: lessThan i greaterThan Trigonella foenum-graecum lessThan /i greaterThan ) were analyzed. Data indicate the different extracts with varied amounts of phenolics and their differential capacity to neutralize the DPPH free radicals and total antioxidant activity. Out of the seven extracts, the maximum free radical scavenging, total antioxidant activity and the highest phenolics content was found in lessThan i greaterThan C. asiaticum. lessThan /i greaterThan The preliminary phytochemical analysis indicates the prevalent secondary metabolites are alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins and saponins. In summary, considering the relative phenolics abundance and antioxidant activities, it can be concluded that out of seven anticancer plant products tested here lessThan i greaterThan C. asiaticum lessThan /i greaterThan leaf aqueous extract possesses the highest efficient free radical scavengers and antioxidant potentials. Therefore, further study demands for lessThan i greaterThan in vivo lessThan /i greaterThan antioxidant and cyto-genotoxic potentials of lessThan i greaterThan C. asiaticum. lessThan /i greaterThan SOUREN GOSWAMI AND SANJIB RAY Antioxidant, Phenolics, DPPH, Crinum asiaticum, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Scadoxus multiflorus 283-291
