Daftar Isi:
- Objective: Indonesia is well known for its biodiversities and very rich of plants species which only a small portion of the species have been investigated in detail. This study aimed to investigate free radical scavenging activity of some Indonesian plants. Methods: Ethanol extract of leaves and stems of plants were tested for their free radical scavenging activity using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) by TLC-autography and spectrophotometry method. Results: The TLC-autography result showed that all samples have free-radical scavenging activities. Spectrophotometry analysis results showed that the lowest IC50 value was ethanol extract of Alectryon serratus stem with IC50 value of 2.04 ppm, lower than vitamin C with IC50 value of 3.11ppm. The highest IC50 value was ethanol extract of Ochrosia akkeringae leaves with IC50 value of 214.64 ppm. Conclusion: Ethanol extract of Alectryon serratus stem may be potential to be developed as a medicinal drug.
