Abstract: 

In the present study is investigated of antioxidant activities the pet-ether, chloroform, acetone and methanolic extracts from Argemonemexicana. (L.). Leaf, stem and root. Ayurvedic medicine of A .mexicana (L). Is used for healing wound, constipation, malaria, chronic, fever etc. The ability of the plant extract to act as hydrogen/electrons donor or scavenger of radicals were determined by in-vitro antioxidant assays using 2,2-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical (DPPH.) scavenging, reducing power assay, superoxide radical (O2*) scavenging activity, phosphomolybdenum assay, and metal chelating activity were performed to know the antioxidant potency. Antibacterial studies were investigated the plant leaf methanolic extract of A. mexicana. Results are evaluated higher in leaves, stem and root of A. mexicana recorded total phenol (49.93±5.30), DPPH assay antioxidant activity leaf in methanolic extract of (10.25 µg/ml ) and phosphomolybdenum assay in methanolic extract of stem(48.13 mg /g).The result indicates the antioxidant and antibacterial activity potential of A. mexicana.
