Abstract

In the present investigation, bioactive compound identification by GCMS and free radicals representing the antioxidant activity of Begonia albococcinea Hook. was investigated. In the antioxidant activity study, the ethanolic extract of B.albococcinea exhibited significant inhibitory effects on DPPH scavenging activity (P-Value 0.406 > 0.05 α value) and ferrous chelation activity (P-Value 0.362 >0.05 α value) hence significant activity was calculated in total antioxidant property (P-Value0.00016 <0.05 α value). The outcome showed the promising source of better bioactive principles of B.albococcinea for addressing most of the drug resistant pathogens and cellular toxifications.
