Among the samples, TPC was found in the range 21.95 ± 1.18 mgGAE/g ext to 119.80 ± 2.63 mgGAE/g ext while, TFC was recorded in the range 2.57 ± 0.07 mgQE/g ext to 7.27 ± 0.28 mgQE/g ext with the highest value of TPC and TFC in &lt;em&gt;E. ferox &lt;/em&gt;seeds. In case of DPPH and ABTS assays, the recorded IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value were attained in the range 16.99 ± 0.49 μg/mL to 335.90 ± 2.19 μg/mL and 70.69 ± 1.83 μg/mL to 576.26 ± 4.41 μg/mL respectively with the lowest IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value recorded in &lt;em&gt;E. ferox&lt;/em&gt; seeds. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of our study revealed that seeds and arils of &lt;em&gt;E. ferox&lt;/em&gt; as well as leaves of &lt;em&gt;E. birmanicum &lt;/em&gt;contain a variety of phytochemicals and promising antioxidant activity which will contribute a scientific insight for exploration of their therapeutic potentials in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

The problem encountered with the proper utilization of herbal drugs is lack of documentation and standard parameter, which create problem in acceptance and importance of these plants. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The objectives of our study are to establish scientifically evaluated pharmacognostic profile and &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; antiinflammatory screening of six plants. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Leaf sample from each plant was evaluated by macroscopic, microscopic and physicochemical parameters (As per WHO recommended methods of standardization). The anti-inflammatory activity screening of methanolic extracts was carried out against inhibition of protein denaturation method taking diclofenac sodium as a benchmark. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The macroscopic characteristic and microscopical evaluation reveals the type of stomata within the leaves and presence of parenchyma cells, collenchyma cells, upper epidemis, lower epidermis, vascular bundle, palisade cells and trichomes in the transverse section of leaves. Physicochemical parameter reveals the total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble, methanol soluble extractives and moisture content. The IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of &lt;em&gt;MEAM, MECE, MEAC, MEAC1, MECC&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;em&gt;MEBT&lt;/em&gt; against inhibiton of protein denaturation was found to be 72.88, 841.78, 735.12, 303.75, 188, and 354.1855 μg/mL respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The present study contributes useful information that will help in the exact identification as well as assessment of purity of crude drugs. Methanolic extract of&lt;em&gt; Alocasia macrorrhizos&lt;/em&gt; could be a potential anti-inflammatory agent from the natural sources.&lt;/p&gt;
