The invention provides an active part of a radish leaf and application of the active part. The active part is prepared by the following steps: firstly, drying the radish leaf, crushing and enabling the crushed substance to pass through a sieve with 200 meshes; secondly, adding the sieved radish leaf into an aqueous solution of ethanol for leaching at constant temperature; performing suction filtering, repeatedly extracting filter residues for three times, combining filtrate, concentrating under reduced pressure and recovering the ethanol, thus obtaining an ethanol extract of the radish leaf; thirdly, performing ultrasonic dispersion on the ethanol extract of the radish leaf by using water, then performing fractional extraction by sequentially using petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and water-saturated normal butanol, respectively extracting for three times, and combining the same extracting solutions; concentrating a combined solvent under reduced pressure, and performing freeze drying to respectively obtain a petroleum ether part, a chloroform part, an ethyl acetate part, a water-saturated normal butanol part and a water part, wherein the ethyl acetate part is the active part of the radish leaf. The prepared active part of the radish leaf has the effect of prolonging the service life of drosophila melanogaster, a good antioxidation effect and potential of delaying senescence.
