Abstract

Tridax Procumbens Linn is a member of the Asteraceae family. Tridax Procumbens has to be utilized because native medication intended for a number of complaints and problems in humans and animals for thousands of years. It is used widely in Indian conventional remedies for healing of wounds, like anticoagulants, in fungal infection, in diarrhea and dysentery, as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulators. In folk medicine, certain communicable skin diseases are treated by using leaves extract. It's also known as 'Bhringraj,' an ayurvedic drug used to treat liver problems. At least 12,000 people have been separated from their families. These compounds protect plants from pathogens, insects, and herbivores by acting as defensive mechanisms. The aim of the test is to establish the antioxidant potential of the leaves of Tridax Procumbens. The current research is aimed at identifying novel plant directions, and antioxidant activity has been chosen for that reason. Using the maceration procedure, the power of the plant's shade dried leaves was extracted with chloroform water and ethanol. The antioxidant activities of the resulting extracts were evaluated using 2 techniques: nitric oxide scavenging activity and ferric chloride reductive ability. The alcoholic extract in 600 mg/ml and 800 mg/ml and 1000 mg/ml concentration has demonstrated antioxidant activity higher than ascorbic acid (20 mg) by nitric oxide scavenging method. By using a ferric chloride scavenging model, the aqueous and alcoholic extracts at 400 g/ml and 600 g/ml concentrations revealed antioxidant activity near to that of ascorbic acid (20 g).
