Abstract

Northeast India has been a gathering around for various species of medicinal plants and most of the village and rural areas people still rely on herbal plant medicine. Xanthium indicum J. Koenig. has been widely used traditionally for the treatment of inflammation and other related diseases. The present study aims to analyse the phytochemicals present and determine the antioxidant property of the plant obtained for Northeast India. The preliminary phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids and flavonoids. Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay which showed an IC50 of 112.60 ± 0.62 µg/ml of Xanthium indicum extract. The outcome of the present study concludes that the plant Xanthium indicum showed significant antioxidant activity
