In the present study, two plant species of the family Asteraceae were selected for an evaluation of their phytochemical screening, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Phytochemical alkaloids, phenols, protein, flavonoids, quinines, tannins, and terpenoids are present in the aqua methanol and aqua acetone extract (s) of Cirsium arvense (L) Cronquist and Erigeron bonariensis. The selected plant species exhibit anti-inflammatory properties in both solvents. The enzymatic antioxidant property of selected plant species was evaluated by superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT). E. bonariensis shows (20.05±0.02) superoxide dismutase activity which is moreover equal to C. arvense (19.47±0.31). POD and CAT activities of C. arvense (109.35±0.69 and 41.48±0.13) and E. bonariensis 105.91±1.53 and 39.63±0.035 respectively, the POD activity of C. arvense is slightly higher than E. bonariensis but CAT activity again higher in E. bonariensis same as SOD.
