The Bryophyllum pinnatum refers to the family Crassulaceae. The glycoprotein from the 0.9% of normal saline extracts of Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves was refined by dialysis with 50% of ammonium sulfate. Protein concentration was invented by Lowry’s method. The dialyzed sample allowed for SDS-PAGE to determine the molecular weight (Mr ). The antioxidant activity of crude lectin extract has been assessed by the DPPH (1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS methods. The present study aims to verify the antioxidant activity of lectins detached from the leaves of Bryophyllum pinnatum.
