Abstract: The need to scientifically prove the claims of the trado-medical uses of plants in combating diseases has led to research into the medicinal potencies of some plants. Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides stem has been traditionally used to treat dental and malarial infections. This research was carried out to investigate the medicinal potentials in the leaf of this plant to seek its effectiveness against some diseases. In vitro antioxidant assays were carried out using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), superoxide radical scavenging activity (SRSA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging activity.
