Abstract

The genus Cheilanthes Sw. belonging to family Pteridaceae commonly known as silver fern. It is growing in several habitats such as moist soils, along the edges of the hills or rocky regions, frequently growing in small crevices. Maximum species are used by tribal people (like Bheel, Meena, Garasia and Saharia) to remedy on cold, cough, peptic ulcer, asthma, bronchitis and diabetes. The antioxidant properties of Cheilanthes extracts were tested for their total antioxidant measurements by using DPPH, DMPD radical scavenging assay as well as FRAP assay in vitro. The four ethnomedicinal Cheilanthes species are obtained from different localities of Northern Westerns Ghats of India.
