Abstract:	In the present study, acetone and methanol extracts of fresh and dry bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum verum, were studied for their antioxidant activity viz, DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities. Experiments were also conducted to evaluate the total phenolic content, the metal chelation capacity and the reducing power of extracts. The lipid peroxidation capacity of extracts was recorded using a linoleic acid emulsion system, which showed excellent results. Cytotoxic potential of extracts was evaluated usingMCF 7 cells. Methanol extract of dry bark showed the highest antioxidant and cytotoxic potential.
