In this paper we evaluate the antioxidant potential of the leaves of the mangrove plant Excoecaria agallocha Linn using in vitro assays. The methanol extract of E. agallocha Linn has exhibited potent free-radical scavenging activity particularly against DPPH (IC50- 67.50g/l) and water fraction observed to be effective in protecting oxidative DNA damage (100g/l). In addition, the presence of the hydrogen donating ability of the methanol extract exhibited reducing power (IC50 - 62.96 g). The water and methanol fraction of the extract has revealed a significant protective effect against Fenton's reaction on supercoiled pCAMBIA assayed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The extract also exhibited strong lipid peroxidation inhibition (IC50 -100g/l), nitric oxide radical inhibition (IC50 -4.8g/l) and a metal chelating effect (IC50 -2.47g) in a concentration dependent manner. This strong oxidative DNA damage preventive activity and radical scavenging activity of E. agallocha Linn may be associated with its rich content of flavonoids.
