128IN VITRO ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF METHANOL EXTRACT OF THE INNER BARK OF GREWIA ASIATICA L. (TILIACEAE)The aim of present study was to estimate the Antioxidant activity of methanol extract of the inner bark of Grewia asiatica L. (Tiliaceae) was assessed by using 2,2- diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH•) assay and reducing power activity. Here, ascorbic acid was used as standard antioxidant. The results of the study indicate that the methanolic extracts of of the inner bark of Grewia asiatica L. possess significant scavenging activity against DPPH• and reducing power activity. The free radical scavenging and antioxidant activities may be attributed to the presence of adequate flavonoid compounds in methanol extract of the inner bark of Grewia asiatica L. (Tiliaceae). This study revealed that the methanolic extract of methanol extract of the inner bark of Grewia asiatica L. (Tiliaceae) has demonstrated significant antioxidant activity.mbharath4321@gmail.comResearch712017DPPH assay,Reducing power activity,Grewia asiatica LM. Bharath Kumar,A.
