Ipomoea purpurea L., a plant of the convolvulaceae family, popularly known as morning glory, possesses numerous medicinal values. The present study aimed to explore the antioxidant activity and ethyl acetate and chloroform bioactive compounds of Ipomoea purpurea flowers. Antioxidant activity was determined using 1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) ABTS (2, 2’-azinobis (3ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), nitric oxide scavenging assay (NO), reducing power, hydroxy radical scavenging assay, superoxide radical scavenging (SOD), hydrogen peroxide radical assay, metal chelating activity as well as phosphomolypdenum and standard ascorbic acid (AA) assay. Based on the findings of this investigation, we can conclude that Ipomoea purpurea extract possesses various bioactive compounds and moderate antioxidant potentials, which may be a path to the discovery of traditional medicines and remedies for many critical diseases.
