AB <p><em>Erythraea ramosissima</em>is traditionally used for the treatment of various human diseases. In the present study was aimed at the&nbsp;<em>in-vitro</em>&nbsp;pharmacological and phytochemical analysis of the methanol extract of&nbsp;<em>Erythraea ramosissima</em>. The sample extract of&nbsp;<em>Erythraea ramosissima&nbsp;</em>showed potent antioxidant activities (98.1&plusmn;5.2%) inhibition of DPPH, Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity was (95.1&plusmn;8.4%), total antioxidant activity was 92.1&plusmn;5.4 and ABTS scavenging activity of the extract was 94.1&plusmn;5.4 at 3000&micro;g/ml.Qualitative analysis reveals the presence of saponins, tannins, anthraquinons, alkaloids, coumarins and flavonoids.I the cytotoxicity assay, at 3000&mu;g/mlconcentrations maximum death of brine shrimp was reported. In the light of the present result it is inferred that methanolic extract of&nbsp;<em>Erythraea ramosissima&nbsp;</em>can be used as a free radicle scavenger and as an anticancer agent.</p>
