Lipid peroxidation is a complex process which is initiated by abstraction of hydrogen atoms from unsaturated fatty acids of phospholipid and lipoprotein complexes yielding conjugated dienes. The conjugated dienes then react with molecular oxygen to produce peroxy radicals which propagate the chain reaction by abstracting hydrogen from other unsaturated Iipids.

Medicinal plants have therapeutic potential due to the presence of natural antioxidants functioning as reducing agents, free radical scavengers and quenchers of singlet oxygen. Majority of their antioxidant activity is due to bioactive compounds viz. flavones, isoflavones, flavonoids, anthocyanins, coumarins, lignans, catechins and isocatechins. Currently there has been an increasing interest to identify the antioxidants that are pharmacologically potent with low or no side effects for use in preventive medicine.
