This study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activities of ethanol and acetone extracts from leaves of Artemisia vulgaris. The antioxidant activities including the DPPH radical scavenging effect and Chelating activity on ferrous ion, we found that the antioxidant activities of ethanol extract from Artemisia vulgaris leaves had significantly the DPPH radical scavenging effect and Chelating activity on ferrous ion. The IC50 number were 0.05 ± 0.01 mg/ml and 0.07± 0.01 mg/ml, respectively. The results presented that ethanol extract from Artemisia vulgaris leaves had antioxidant activity. Thus, ethanol extract from Artemisia vulgaris leaves possess a broad application and exploitation for food and cosmetic industry.
