ABSTRACT Indigenous drugs with their base in medicinal plants and their origins in ancient Indian history are being recognized as the major alternative and complementary medicines. The Indian indigenous drugs have great importance both from the professional and economic points of view. Indian squill, that is Urginea indica (Kunth.) is an important indigenous plant belongs to the family Liliaceae. In present study the total phenolic and flavonoid compounds were estimated from the alcoholic extract of whole plant of Urginea indica. The alcoholic extract of whole plant of Urginea indica were tested for their antioxidant activity using DPPH, Phosphomolybdenum reducing power assay, nitric oxide assay, ABTS assay are Fe3+ reducing power assay. The quantitative analysis results of total phenol content (TPC) is 336.77 GAE/g and the total amount of flavonoid content (TFC) is 16.71 QE/g.
