The whole herb is used for herbal cure at Andaman Islands and is grown in homestead gardens, An attempt was made to study the phytochemical composition and andrographolide content of both leaves and stem extracts. Methanolic extract yielded maximum total phenols in both leaf (24.18 mg/g) and stem extract (27.35 mg/g). Flavonoid content was also maximum in methanolic extract of leaf (52.57 mg/g) and stem (71.82 mg/g) of A. paniculata. Highest DPPH activity was found in methanolic extract in both leaf (7.08 mg BHT/g) and stem samples (7.15 mg BHT/g). The NO activity was highest in ethanolic extract in both leaf (13.85 mg vit C/g) and stem (12.86 mg Vit C/g). The methanol extract of leaf (14.65 mg EDTA/g) and stem (12.85 mg EDTA/g) showed higher chelating activity. The acetone extract of stem (3.16 mg vit c/g) and leaf (2.97 mg vit c/g) of Kalmegh showed effective reduction in the activity of hydrogen peroxide.
