Abstract
An extract of Mangifera indica L. (Vimang) was tested irt vitro for its ant ioxidant activity using commonly accepted assays. It showed a powerful scav enger activity of hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorous acid and acted as an i ron chelator, The extract also showed a significant inhibitory effect on th e peroxidation of rat-brain phospholipid and inhibited DNA damage by bleomy cin or copper-phenanthroline systems.
