The study was designed with an aim to investigate the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the ethanolic extract (EE) and an identified lead compound (LC) which is a new triterpene derivative isolated from root bark of Ziziphus nummularia. The in vitro evaluation of antioxidant activities of ethanolic extract (EE) and an identified lead compound (LC) was done by measuring DPPH radical. The results indicate that EE and LC of Z. nummularia have potent DPPH radical scavenging activity.
