Abstract
Justicia adhatoda plant of Acanthaceae family has been used as an ayurvedic and unani medicine in India for over a long time. It is used in the treatment of several diseases, especially respiratory ailments. The alkaloids in adhatoda are found to have many pharmacological properties. Vasicine, a pyrroloquinoline alkaloid from adhatoda is a major alkaloid that can be potentially used in treatment of various disorders. Antioxidant activity of vasicine is measured in the current study. The results indicate that the inhibition concentration IC50 of vasicine is 187 µg/ml.
