The leaves of Zanthoxylum rhetsa (Roxb) DC are used in Indian system of medicine. Thepresent study deals with the physicochemical, phytochemical investigation, and in vitroantioxidant activity on various extracts of the plant. The leaf extracts of Z. rhetsa wereprepared with five different solvents such as hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol andwater. The results of this study showed that leaves powder of Z. rhetsa is rich in secondarymetabolites and contain many bioactive compounds. Amongst five extracts, the aqueousextract was rich in phytoconstituents and showed high inhibition rate against free radicals.The extracts of Z. rhetsa were explored as good and potential drug against free radicals andhuman threatening diseases.Keywords: Zanthoxylum rhetsa, physicochemical properties, phytochemical properties, invitro antioxidant activity, free radical scavenging activityPrabhash T, Nayagam AAJ, NatarajanRK.
