Plants produce wide variety of phytochemical compounds which have been known to perform most biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant activities etc. Plants which possess these medicinal properties are known to be medicinal plants. In this study, Annona muricata, Piper betle and Mentha spicata were collected from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The crude extracts were taken using various solvents like acetone, ethanol, chloroform, toluene and petroleum ether. All the extracts were subjected for qualitative analysis for the phytochemicals. All the samples were also subjected for antibacterial activity and TLC bioautography analysis for antioxidants. Since they found to possess antioxidant activity, quantitative assay for antioxidant activity like DPPH and FRAP assays were performed.Keywords: Annona muricata, Piper betle and Mentha spicata
