Studying medicinal plants to determine their potential as sources of new drugs is more important in recent times. The present study was carried out to investigate fibrinolytic and antioxidant activity of methanol extract of Commiphora caudata bark. In-vitro clot lysis was done by using urokinase as standard and the total antioxidant activity of extract was evaluated by the phosphomolybdenum assay method. The methanol extract of Commiphora caudata bark based on the percentage of clot lysis showed highest fibrinolytic and antioxidant activity equivalent to ascorbic acid. The present study revealed the fibrinolytic and antioxidant activity potential of methanol extract of Commiphora caudata bark.
