Materials and Methods: Various physicochemical parameters such Total ash value, Water soluble ash value, Acid insoluble ash value. Qualitative analysis of Phytochemical constituents' viz. tannins, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, quinones, terpenoids and cardiac glycosides. The antioxidant activity of whole plant of Waltheria indica (Linn) was investigated in various in-vitro methods. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by total antioxidant activity (Phosphomolybdic acid method), FRAP assay with reference standard ascorbate and total flavonoids content respectively. Results: In physicochemical study, the parameters such as total ash, acid insoluble ash, water-soluble ash were carried out. The total ash was found 11.47±0.72% and acid insoluble ash was found 4.92 ±0.14% and water-soluble was found 8.35±0.69%. The results of phytochemical analysis suggest that presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, terpenoids and cardiac glycosides. The ethanolic extract of Waltheria indica (Linn) was found to moderate effect in the total antioxidant activity. The IC50 values of the ethanolic extract of Waltheria indica (Linn) and ascorbate were found to be 460µg/ml and 420µg/ml respectively. The ethanolic extract of Waltheria indica was found moderate effective in FRAP assay. But when compare to the ethanolic extract with ascorbate (standard), the ethanolic extract of the Waltheria indica (Linn) showed the better result. The ethanolic extract of Waltheria indica (Linn), contains high amount of flavonoids. These invitro assays indicate that this plant extract is a better source of natural antioxidant, which might be helpful in preventing the progress of various oxidative stresses. Discussion: Thus the ethanolic extract of whole plant of Waltheria indica(Linn.) shows good physicochemical, phytochemical constitution and antioxidant activity.

The antioxidant activity evaluated by DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl -1- picryl hydrazyl) method, superoxide anion scavenging and iron chelating activity With reference standard content Rutin, Quercetin, EDTA respectively. DPPH radical scavenging activity of ethanolic extract and reference standard Rutin IC50 values was found to be 1020 g/ml and 480 g/ml, superoxide anion scavenging activity of ethanolic extract and reference standard Quercetin IC50 values was found to be 410 g/ml and 60 g/ml and iron chelating activity of ethanolic extract and reference standard EDTA IC50 values was found to be 420 g/ml and 65 g/ml respectively. The above result of possess good an antioxidant activity when compare to the above all standard.
