ABSTRACT

Calotropis gigantea is also known as “Badabadam” or “eruku”. The plant is common in Asia and widely available throughout India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy analysis was performed in methanolic extract of Calotropis gigantea leaves and flowers. Antioxidant activity was carried out in Two methods-Nitrous oxide and DPPH (2, 2- Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl).Antioxidant activity was carried out at 10-100?l concentrations. The bioactive compounds are present in Calotropis gigantea leaves and flowers Antioxidant activity are determined in Calotropis gigantea leaves and flowers. They are used to reduce the impact of oxidative stress which are helpful in preventing diseases such as Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, irritable bowel disease, immune system ,respiratory, liver disorder and chronic kidney disorder. Keywords: Gas Chromatography Mass spectroscopy, Antioxidant, 2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, Cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, Badabadam, Irritable Bowel disease, Oxidative stress
