Abstract: Different extracts of U. tomentosawere tested in vitrofor their antioxidant activity utilizing tert‐butyl‐hydroperoxide‐initiated chemiluminescence in rat liver homogenates. Methanol fractions of both stem‐bark and roots were capable of exerting antioxidant activity by this technique. The presence of different concentrations of bark and root methanol extracts also prevented TBARS production and free radical‐mediated DNA‐sugar damage. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
