The current investigation is focused to determine antioxidant activities of the leaf extract of Plumbago zeylanica. The leaf extracts were prepared by using multiform solvents with increasing polarity, including as hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and Methanol. The antioxidant activities enlisting DPPH assay, hydrogen peroxide assay, reducing power assay and nitric oxide assay method were performed for all extracts. Barring no one, the extracts had shown average to potent antioxidant activity. Uniquely, the ethyl acetate extract and the chloroform extract explicated the utmost antioxidant activity.
