Abstract– Medicinal importance of Boerhavia diffusa L. is mentioned as herb for treating various ailments like gonorrhea, internal inflammations, dyspepsia, jaundice menstrual disorder, anaemia, disorders of liver, kidney, gall bladder etc. in Indian Ayurveda, Unani, Chinese and Tibetan therapeutic system. Commonly called as Punarnava due to its rejuvenating Property. As oxidative stress is tremendously increasing among the biological organisms due to anthropogenic adulteration in the ecosystem, undoubtedly the human being at the top in the evolutionary hierarchy, are getting more affected. In this context, scientific validation of this plant was assessed by performing the biochemical tests of secondary metabolites and identification of potential functional groups through FTIR analysis in the various leaf extracts. Also, DPPH assay was carried out to judge the antioxidant property. Our biochemical analysis has revealed the presence of eight bioactive compounds exhibiting antioxidant ability to reduce the oxidative stress which will be presented in this communication.
