In the present investigation, antioxidant activity of bark extracts of Ficus amplissima Smith. have been reported. The four complementary assays, total antioxidant capacity, total reductive capability, 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, metal chelating activity were used to evaluate the antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity result revealed that, the methanol extract showed significant antioxidant property than the aqueous extract. The result of present investigation reveals that the bark of the F. amplissima plant has potential biological activity, therefore suggested for further studies for purification and isolation of active phytoconstituents.
