Free radicals are implicated for more than eighty diseases including diabetes mellitus, arthri- tis, cancer, ageing, etc. in treatment of theses dis- eases; antioxidant therapy has gained an utmost importance. Current research is now directed to- wards finding naturally occurring antioxidant of herbal drugs. Antioxidant activity of methanol e-xtract of Amrycard powder was evaluated by using Phosphomolybdenum assay, DPPH radical sca- venging assay, superoxide radical scavenging as-say and ABTS assay. The total phenolic, total tan-nins, and total flavonoids content were determined. Antibacterial activity was also studied against Ba-cillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus au-reus and staphylococcus by using cup-plate me-thod. Erythromycin was used as standard antibac-terial agent 1.The methanol extract was diluted into different concentration (1,2, 4, 6, 8, 10 mg/l00 μl)with DMSO. The results of the study revealed that,the Amrycard powder exhibited significant antibac-terial activity.
