The present study reports physicochemical characterization, antioxidant and Memory enhancing activity of extracts from Moringa oleifera L. stem bark collected from local region of Nanded, Maharashtra, India. The presence of primary and secondary metabolites such as carbohydrate, proteins, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, saponins was confirmed through preliminary phytochemical analysis. The In-Vivo memory enhancing activity of Moringa oleifera L. stem bark was evaluated by radial arm maze model in rats using Piracetam as a standard. Both the extracts at 200mg/kg conc. showed significant to highly significant number of entries & time spent in P zone in radial arm maze. (from P < 0.05 to P < 0.001). The result suggests that Moringa oleifera L. stem bark extracts possess memory enhancing activity and this might be due to flavonids, phenolic compound, steroid and proteins present in extract
