Summary:Aristolochia bracteolata is being used in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments. Three successive and two crude extracts of its leaves were subjected for in vitro antioxidant activity using seven different methods. The successive ethyl acetate and crude methanol extracts have shown potent antioxidant activity in ABTS method with $IC_{50}$ values of $17.08\;{\pm}\;0.44\;and\;28.12\;{\pm}\;2.87\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The crude methanol and successive chloroform extracts have shown moderate antioxidant activity in scavenging of hydroxyl radical by p-NDA method. All the extracts have shown moderate to low antioxidant activity by other methods.
