Our bodies produce free radicals through a variety of endogenous systems, exposed to various physiochemical or pathological conditions. Objective: The study aimed to assess the in-vitro antioxidant properties of Acacia ferruginea plant stem and to screen for their phytochemical components. Methodology: The stem was examined for enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, radical scavenging activity in three solvents with varying polarities, and phytochemical analyses. Result: The stem of Acacia ferruginea possessed considerable levels of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. Conclusion: Although the three extracts had high scavenging properties, in-vitro assays did not show any significant DNA preventive properties. Phytochemical screening indicated the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and phenols.}, issn = {2375-1924}, doi = {10.18103/mra.v11i11.4714}, url = {https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/4714} }
