Methanolic extract of the whole plant of Cyanthillium cinereum (L) H.Robwasevaluated for free radical scavenging activity by using Nitric oxide scavenging activity (NO) and Reduction of 1, 1-Diphenyl -2-Picryl Hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity. Throughout the studies the plant extract showed potent antioxidant activity and the activity was found to be concentration dependent which may be attributed to the high flavonoid content of the plant.Keywords: Cyanthillium cinereum (L) H.Rob, DPPH, NO.
