According to the Ayurvedic literature Launaea pinnatifida Cass is belong to the class of controversial drug Gohjiva. This plant is well known and valuable herb as per the traditional and Ethnobotanical information. Leaves of this plant has been used since ancient time as herbal remedy for jaundice, diuretic, blood purifier and hepatoprotective action by the tribal people of the Western Ghats. However, the plant remains largely unexplored. The antioxidant capacity of the various fraction of L. Pinnatifida leaves and roots extracts, obtained by successive solvent extraction with various polarity of solvents namely Pet. Ether, Chloroform, Methanol and Water, was evaluated by means of different In vitro methods; DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50 value for standard ascorbic acid and L. pinnatifida leaves methanol fraction was 165.8 and 220.3 respectively), Ferric ion reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) by Phosphomolybdenum method. Those findings means that L. Pinnatifida leaves methanol fraction was most active fraction for free radical scavenging activity compared to all other fractions hence consider as a most potent fraction for the isolation of phytochemical also used in a food industry for protection against oxidative damage. Antioxidant results also support the traditional claim of this plant. The strongest antioxidant activity of methanol fractions of leaves could be due to the presence of flavonoids and phenols.
