Adiantum capillas veneris and Urtica dioica and found the relationship of total flavonoid and phenol contents with antioxidants activity. The rapid and sensitive method for the antioxidant screening of plant extracts is free radical scavenging assay using 1,1-

Ayoola G.A. et al 3 used four medicianal plants ie, leaves of carica papaya Linn, stem bark of magnifera Indica Linn, leaves of Psidium guagava used in the treatment of malaria. One of the major reasons for the development of anemia in malaria seems to be oxidative stress. The immune system of the body is activated by infections, including malaria, thereby causing the release of reactive oxygen species. In addition to this, the malaria parasite also stimulates certain cells to produce reactive oxygen species thereby resulting in hemoglobin degradation. Indeed, depressed level of plasma antioxidant has been shown in plasmodium falciparum infected children and it has been suggested as a possible contributor to the morbidity and mortality of malaria. The antioxidant activity of the plants extracts against 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl radical were determined by UV spectrometically at 517nm. 4-5 .
