This research was taken up to investigate the antioxidant activity of leaves of Callistemon lanceolatus. The in vitro antioxidant activity of alcoholic extract of leaves of Callistemon lanceolatus was investigated by DPPH free radical scavenging, nitric oxide scavenging methods. The ethanolic extract showed good antioxidant activity in these above methods. This activity may be due to the presence of flavanoids.
