Antioxidant activity from DPPH assay was measured as inhibitory concentration 25.72±0.13 μg/mL.</p><p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: The results reveal that ETF of <em>P. fel-terrae </em>Lour. herbs has strong antioxidant activity. Our further study is to the isolation of compounds which responsible for antioxidant components.</p></div> ER -
