Acalypha indica is an important medicinal plant and traditionally used as wound healing, ulcer, arthritis, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic and pneumonia. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) the present study showed separation of two deep violet colour spots with RF value 0.31 and 0.72 which may represent the presence of Alkaloids. Anti-oxidants are belived to play a very vital role in the body defense system against ROS. Plant based anti-oxidants with their prominence have gained tremendous worldwide interest now days. Acalypha indica used various diseases medication which have potential source as natural anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidant compounds may function as free radical scavengers, initiator of the complexes of pro-oxidant metals, reducing agents and quenchers of single oxygen formations.
