【 摘 要 】

Majority of the worlds population is still relying on natural products, infact synthetic drugs have revolutionized the modern pharmaceuticlas.Plantagohave wide range of bioactive compounds. This study involved antioxidative activities of extracts from threePlantagospecies (Plantago ovata, Plantago lanceolataandPlantago maxicana)by ascorbate assay and catalase assay. All extracts showed antioxidant activities in both assays except forP. maxicanain catalase assay.P. ovatawas observed to be the most active in both assays indicating highest antioxidant activity among the selectedPlantagospecies. The current study would be beneficial to explore further about the valuable compounds.
