Abstract

In this study, antioxidant (DPPH free radical scavenging activity, Nitric Oxide Scavenging activity), antimicrobial activities and bioactive materials (polyphenolics and flavonoids compounds) of ethanol extract of leaves from Thuja orientalis (TOL) were investigated. The ethanol extract from TOL showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity and Nitric Oxide (NO) scavenging activity than other crude plant extract in a concentration-dependent manner. The present results suggest that the ethanol extract from TOL may be potent agent for antioxidant and thereby inhibit the pathological conditions caused by excessive generation of NO and ROS. Total phenolic content and Total flavonoid content was 61.2
