Melothria maderaspatana (Linn.) Cogn. belonging to family Cucurbitaceae, is comprised mainly of slender scadentor prostrate annual herbs. It is used as a vegetable in India. In present investigation, shade dried plant parts (leaves, stem and fruits) were used for quantitative estimation of the total phenolic contents as Gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per gram dry weight and flavonoid as Quercetin equivalent (QE) per gram dry weight. The DPPH free radical scavenging activities were also estimated

The total phenolic contents were ranging between 21.1±1.11 to 24.7±0.46 mg GAE/gm DW while flavonoid were found maximum 7.1±1.24 mg QE/gm DW in leaves. The DPPH radical scavenging capacity was found maximum in leaves and it was totally dose dependent and increased with increased concentrations.
