Preliminary phytochemical and antioxidant study of hydroalcoholic extracts from selected genera of Indian Lamiaceae

A correlation between the antioxidant activity and the total phenolic contents of the extracts indicated that phenolic compounds were the dominant contributors to the antioxidant activity of both the plants. The results of the study show that Plectranthus mollis has the most flavonoid and phenol contents and the antioxidant capacity.
