Abstrakt:	The present study was carried out to determine the antioxidant and different free radical scavenging activities of 70% methanolic extract ofDiplazium esculentum. Total antioxidant activity of the extract was evaluated as trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity value. The IC50values for scavenging of different free radicals indicated its efficient free radical scavenging properties. The extract acted as an iron chelator and also possessed reducing power. It also inhibited lipid peroxidation. Moreover, the extract yielded high phenolic and flavonoid content. Therefore, the results indicated that 70% methanolic extract ofD. esculentumacted as a potential antioxidant and free radical scavenger. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
