Abstract: 

In present study, the in-vitro antioxidant activities of the methanolic extracts of leaves and flowers of Ipomoea cairica were determined by spectrophotometric method. Antioxidant activities of extract were expressed as percentage of DPPH radicals inhibition. The methanolic extract of Ipomoea cairica leaves showed maximum antioxidant activity of 83.52% and methanolic extract of Ipomoea cairica flowers showed maximum antioxidant activity 81.85 % at 500 μg/ml concentrations. This study reveals that leaves and flowers of I. cairica can be used as natural sources of antioxidants.
