The study aimed to characterize the antioxidant properties regarding Sida cordifolia with special reference its detailed biochemical analysis. revealed that chlorophyll A (0.9 ± 0.3 mg/g), total content (3.0 0.7 carotenoid (0.3 0.1 soluble proteins (7.5 and phenolic contents (5.6 1.3 mg/g) were found highest in flower tissue of S. cordifolia. However, peroxidase (POD) (118 31 units/g), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (64 1.5 units/g) maximum leaf tissues, while catalase (CAT) (133 25 ascorbate (APX) (145 44 also more flowers rather than other parts. Our results conclude leaves, stem, could be exploited pharmacology due presence different antioxidants reflected extract make them potent profound therapeutic agents.
