Antioxidants are emerging as prophylactic and therapeutic agents for various diseases. The present study deals with an antioxidant potential of methanolic and aqueous extract of Albizia lebbeck leaves. The antioxidant potential of methanolic and aqueous extract of A. lebbeck leaves was investigated by employing two in vitro methods, such as Nitric oxide radical scavenging activity and reducing power assay. Results obtained in the present study reveal methanolic extract of A. lebbeck possesses significant antioxidant activity as compared to aqueous extract.
