Fagonia schweinfurthii species were selected because only, these are ethnomedicinally used in different Indian medicinal systems. Traditionally, Fagonia has been used to cure diseases such as skin eruptions, heal sores, skin diseases, antipyretic, pain relief, ear infection, and venereal diseases. Phytochemical compounds are naturally present in medicinal plants. Secondary metabolites are used for checking biological activities such as antioxidant activity. Potential phytochemical leads to searching for new drugs, contributions in pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical, and healthcare products. Whole plant of F.schweinfurthii collected from Kesandphata, Pune (M.S.) India. Identification & classification of plants using different Flora. Plant material dried under shade conditions and successively extracted by cold extract for water and Soxhlet method hot extract for methanol and ethanol solvent for phytochemical tests and antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activity of F. schweinfurthii was examined by ABTS free radical scavenging assay and DPPH radical scavenging assay. The preliminary phytochemical analysis of aerial part and root extracts showed positive tests such as alkaloids, starch, protein, tannin, flavonoid, terpenoid, carbohydrates, lignin, and phenols. The extract showed ABTS free radical scavenging assay maximum activity of aerial part sample 22.80 % at 50 μg/ml and root sample 25.64 % at 50 μg/ml. The extract DPPH radical scavenging assay showed maximum activity of aerial part sample 96.78 % at 50 μg/ml and root sample 54.15 % at 50 μg/ml. Experimental investigations of an aerial part extract and root part extract of F. schweinfurthii plant show an antioxidant activity. Especially, the analysis of these plant part extract in methanol as solvent reveals the antioxidant activity. The more significant and prominent result was obtained in DPPH radical scavenging assay
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
