Borreria laevicaulis and Borreria exilis from Rubiaceae family which is famous for their medicinal properties were investigated as there is not much report on these ethnomedicinal plants. 95% ethanol, 50% ethanol, distilled water and hexane extracts of B. laevicaulis and B. exilis were investigated for their total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and antioxidant activities (AA) by using Folin—Ciocalteu colorimetric method, aluminium colorimetric method, DPPH radical scavenging assay and ABTS radical scavenging assay.
