The study involved preparation, phytochemical screening and evaluation of antioxidant potentials of the extract of Piper guineense. This was with a view to investigating the possibility of using the plant in the treatment and management of oxidant and inflammatory related disorders. Spices are herbs that contain complex mixtures of phytochemicals which give characteristic odours, flavours and protect living systems from deleterious effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Phytochemical screening of the plant revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, cardiac glycosides, triterpenoids and saponins. The extract exhibited DPPH-free radical scavenging activity which was concentration dependent. The results revealed that the extract is rich in antioxidant components which make the seed useful in the prevention and management of various forms of diseases.       Key words: Phytochemicals, antioxidant potentials, Piper guineense, methanolic extract.
