Free radicals are the source of many diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cancer, arthritis, anemea, Parkinson disease, alzimer and ageing etc. Antioxidants are very important for treatment of this disease by scavenging free radicals. The present study was conducted to determine the Cytotoxic and antioxidant activities of metanolic extract of Medicago polymorpha against free radicals such as DPPH and ABTS etc in vitro. These activities of Medicago polymorpha are count for its anticancer properties. The results were analyzed by the comparison of the extract with the standards. Ascorbic acid was used as a standard for antioxidants assays and see salt solution without extract was used a standard for cytotoxic assays. The antioxidant property may be related to the polyphenols and flavonoids present in the extract. These results clearly indicate that Medicago polymorpha is effective against free radical mediated disease and thus it has potential for treating cancer.
