Numerous oxidative stress related diseases are gaining importance as a result of accumulation of free radicals in the body. A lot of researches are going on worldwide aimed towards finding natural antioxidants of plants origins. The aims of this study were to evaluate phenolic content and in vitro antioxidant activities of the methanolic extract of Amoora rohituka bark. The antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity of methanolic extract of bark were assessed against 2,2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), ferric reducing, Phosphomolybdenum assay and metal chelation spectroscopically and results were compared with that of Butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) and Ascorbic acid and EDTA as standards. The IC50 value of the DPPH, ABTS, H2O2 and metal chelation are 73μg/ml, 73μg/ml, 103 μg/ml and 101μg/ml respectively. Our findings offer confirmation that the crude methanol extract of A.rohituka is a potential source of natural antioxidants, and this justified its uses in folkloric medicines.
