Abstract In this study, antioxidant activity of Stephania wightii aerial parts and tuber extracts was evaluated by total antioxidant activity, property of metal chelating and reducing power assays. The total antioxidant capacity observed in the methanolic extract of aerial parts and tuber of S. wightii was 303.23 and 312.49 nM GAE/g extract. The reducing power of aerial parts and tuber extract of S. wightii was found to be 0.55, 0.57, 0.65, 0.73, 0.93nm and 0.59, 0.62, 0.68, 0.74, 1.05nm respectively. The aerial parts and tuber extracts have exhibited maximum chelating effects of 83.49 and 92.72 mg EDTA/g. Possibly, tuber extract showed potent antioxidant activity because it contains high amount of phytoconstituents, which could react with radicals to stabilize and terminate radical chain reactions.
