It is the reason behind the generation of several diseases. Free radicals if generated in excess amount can damage the body to a great extent. Finding newer and potent medicinal plants that can fight oxidative stress can be useful in combating the harmful effects of free radicals. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In the current study ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;Ocimum kilimandscharicum&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; Thymus serpyllum, Spilanthes acmella&lt;/em&gt; and their combination in equal ratio were used for their ability to counter oxidative stress. The plants were collected from the district of Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand and extracted by soxhlet’s apparataus using absolute ethanol (99.9%). The extracts were then dried and used for the study. &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; It was seen that highest absorbance was shown by ascorbic acid at the lowest as well as the highest concentration in the reducing power assay. Also, the combination of the extracts showed the highest absorbance among all the extracts at both the lowest and highest concentration.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;A higher absorbance indicates a better antioxidant potential. The best effect was shown by the combined extract among all the extracts.&lt;/p&gt;

When tested&lt;em&gt; in-vitro&lt;/em&gt;, the extract exhibited the most potent radical-scavenging activity at a maximum concentration of 10 mg/ml, scavenging effects of 64%, 67% and 69% and corresponding half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) values of 6.7 mg/ml, 6.8 mg/ml and 6.2 mg/ml on hydroxyl, superoxide and DPPH radicals, respectively. Ascorbic acid used as a standard (10 mg/ml) showed scavenging effects of 73%, 73% and 75% and corresponding IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;values of 5.3 mg/ml, 5.8 mg/ml and 5.2 mg/ml, respectively, on hydroxyl, superoxide and DPPH radicals. At 10 mg/ml, the extract and an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid standard exhibited 68% and 78%, respectively, chelation of ferrous ions; at the same concentration, the reducing power of the extract and that of a butylated hydroxytoluene standard was found to be 3.855 and 4.308, respectively.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These observations strongly suggest that the ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;T. divaricata&lt;/em&gt; leaves has potent&lt;em&gt; in-vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant activity and thereby could act as a possible therapeutic agent for oxidative stressinduced pathological states.&lt;/p&gt;

The nephroprotective activity was evaluated using gentamicin-induced model in rats. &lt;em&gt;In-vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant activity was evaluated by using DPPH assay and reducing power assay. &lt;em&gt;In-vivo&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant activity was evaluated by using glutathione and lipid peroxidation estimations in gentamicin-induced rats. Hydroalcoholic &lt;em&gt;C. pareira&lt;/em&gt; whole plant extract was given at a dose of 200 and 400 mg/kg p.o. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; For acute toxicity testing rats administered with the extract at a dose 2 g/ kg. the result showed no toxicity. Hydroalcoholic &lt;em&gt;C. Pareira&lt;/em&gt; whole plant extract (200 and 400 mg/kg p.o) significantly decrease the elevated urinary glucose levels in the urine, decrease the elevated urea and creatinine levels in blood and increase the urinary creatinine levels in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxic rats. The extract had shown significant dose dependent increase in the DPPH and reducing power activity. There were a dose dependent decreasing and increasing of lipid peroxidation, glutathione levels in hydoalcoholic extract treated groups respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study exhibits that hydroalcoholic &lt;em&gt;C. pareira&lt;/em&gt; whole plant extract poses nephroprotective activity which may be due to its antioxidant activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words: &lt;/strong&gt;Gentamicin, &lt;em&gt;Cissampelos pareira&lt;/em&gt;, creatinine, urea, glucose, lipid peroxidation, glutathione, reducing power, DPPH.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;D.
