Aim and objective: To evaluate the in-vitro antioxidant potential of herbal preparation a combination of four selected medicinal plants (HP-4) using different experimental models. Material and Methods: Polyphenols, flavonoids and flavonols concentrations and antioxidant activity of herbal preparation (HP-4) as compared to butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) and α-tocopherol in various experimental models were evaluated. Results: The antioxidant activities of HP-4 were concentration dependent in different experimental models and were comparable to activities of BHT and α-tocopherol. Conclusion: Polyherbal formulation of HP-4 is better than individual plant extracts.
