Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate extraction and the in-vitro free radical scavenging activity of Phyllanthus niruri. One or more of them phytoconstituents may be responsible for the antimutagenic, radioprotective properties. Qualitative phytochemical screening tests were performed to detect Phytochemicals in the different parts of herbs Aerial parts, Stem and Roots. Free radical scavenging activities of the different parts of herb extract were characterized by using Fenton reaction method. The result showed Antioxidant activity was found to be increased in a different concentration on the basis of dose dependent manner from 50-250 µg concentration with maximum Percent TBARS inhibition. The aerial parts have shown more active phytoconstituents and better free radical scavenging activity as compared to stem and roots of absolute alcoholic extract of Phyllanthus niruri.
