a highest antioxidant activity (evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl
and ferric-reducing antioxidant power assays) was observed in 80% metha-
nol extract of the leaf. The values in these assays were found to be 1,080.84
± 6.07 µm TE/mg dry weight and 1,256.88 ± 5.38 µm TE/mg dry weight,
respectively. Its chlorophyll
a
constant has shown antiproliferative proper-
