Abstract: The green synthesised copper nanoparticles from the leaf extract of Ocimum sanctum was evaluated for the antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of CuNps was studied by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging assay. It showed 81.3 % of scavenging activity which indicates that the synthesised Copper nanoparticles is a potential antioxidant agent.
