Objective:  To assess the in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanolic extract of colocasia esculenta Methods: In vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated for hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, nitric oxide scavenging method, reducing power method and thiobarbituric method and in vitro anti-inflammatory activity is also assessed by using inhibition of albumin denaturation method. Results: The ethanolic extract of colocasia esculenta  shown hydrogen peroxide scavenging potential activity is 92.24% at 20µg/ml. The reducing power shows maximum activity shown 81.08% at 100µg/ml and the thio barbituric acid method  shown maximum activity 98.4% at 100µg/ml. Ethanolic extract of Colocasia esculenta showed  95.56% inhibition of denaturation of albumin at 1000µg/ml concentration, while standard diclofenac showed 98.2% inhibition of denaturation of albumin. Conclusion: It can be concluded that ethanolic extract of colocasia esculenta shows good in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
