Abstract
Annona reticulata (Annonaceae) is a tree with numerous glabrous lateral branches. Its traditional and
folklore usage motivates further investigation on its pharmacognostic parameters and pharmacological
potential. Therefore, in order to establish its activity guided with antioxidant potential, DPPH radical
scavenging (DPPH assay), ferric reducing ability (FRAP assay), superoxide scavenging (SOD assay) and
total antioxidant potential were determined for hydro-alcoholic extract (ARCE) of flowering tops of
A.reticulata and its ethyl acetate (AREAF) and diethyl ether (ARDEE) fractions.
