Abstract: 
The impartial of this research was to determine whole flavonoid content (TFC) based on flavonoid-aluminum chloride (AlCl3) and antioxidant action by spectrophotometric method and resolve of lung protective ability of Plantago plant. One of these plant Plantago. Results indicated that Plantago possesses great flavonoid contents which was (281± 0.210 µg/ml) in addition to incredible antioxidant potential in a concentration dependent manner (ranged from 0.150 to 0.538 for 0.02 and 0.64 mg/ml respectively for reductive ability and possessed lung protective ability by counteract damage induced by CCL4 treated albino male mice.
