In the present study, the antioxidant potential of different crude extracts of Sonchus eruca, was evaluated. The extracts were investigated for its antioxidant activity using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryal-hydrazyl (DPPH) method. The crude fractions evaluated were n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl actate and water. The ethyl acetate extracts from S.eruca at 500μg/mL exhibited highest 79.11% DPPH activity fallowed by chloroform showing 67.19%. The other extracts of plants also showed significant antioxidant activity.
