Abstract. Srimariana ES, Apituley DAN. 2019. Antioxidant activity of extracted green algae silpau (Dyctyosphaeria versluysii). Nusantara Bioscience 11: 153-156. Silpau (Dictyosphaeria versluysii) is a green algae that is widely available in Southwest Moluccas regency, living on coral reefs and not classified as seasonal plants. Silpau has long been used by local people, generally in the form of processed vegetables or colo-colo (traditional food). Except for its nutritional value, comprehensive information about silpau still unknown. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine its potential as an antioxidant. The phytochemical content of silpau was analyzed according to the standard method. The antioxidant activity of green algae silpau extract was carried out by reducing DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radicals. Phytochemical test of silpau revealed that silpau contain terpenoid compounds. The result of the study showed that the IC50 value of methanol extract of silpau was 547.97 ppm, indicated that silpau methanol extract categorized as a weak antioxidant.

Free radicals are molecules that lose electrons in their outer orbitals so that the number of electrons becomes odd and unstable. Free radicals can damage various macromolecule cells including proteins, carbohydrates, fats. Antioxidants are compounds that can donate one or more electrons to free radicals. Avocado leaves contain high bioactive components that can be used as a source of natural antioxidants. Avocado leaves that have been dried, mashed and then shifted with methanol. The extracts were tested by phytochemical screening, including flavonpoid, phenolic, tannin and antioxidant activity using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl) method. This method is based on the reduction of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) against free radicals which causes a change from purple to yellow 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) (DPPH). From the research, the IC50 values ​​in avocado leaves were 118.8056 µg / mL and 7,276 µg / mL on ascorbic acid as a positive control. From the IC50 value obtained, it is known that the methanol extract of avocado leaves has strong antioxidant activity to fight free radicals.

The objective of the study was to determine the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed extracted with methanol solvent. The extract was obtained by maceration of dried seaweed. Phytochemical tests were performed to determine the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, triterpenoids and steroids. Kaphaphycis alvarezii seaweed antioxidant activity was tested by DPPH method (1-1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). A phytichemical test revealed that there was not any alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids and triterpenoids content in methanol extract Kappaphycus alvarezi. The antioxidant activity by DPPH method showed the high IC50 value (163.82 ppm) It is indicated that the antioxidant activity of Kappaphycus alvarezii of dried seaweed extracted with methanol was very weak. The negative result from phytochemical test was speculated caused by the drying process of seaweed samples, the type of seaweed itself, and the insufficiency of desalting process. The unsaturated fatty acids was suspected to act as antioxidant in this type of seaweedTujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui kandungan fitokimia dan aktivitas antioksidan rumput laut Kappaphycus alvarezii yang diekstraksi dengan pelarut metanol. Ekstrak diperoleh dengan cara maserasi terhadap rumput laut kering. Uji fitokimia dilakukan untuk mengetahui keberadaan senyawa alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, triterpenoid dan steroid. Aktivitas antioksidan rumput laut Kaphaphycis alvarezii diuji dengan metode DPPH (1-1-difenil-2-pikrilhidrazil). Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan tidak terdeteksinya senyawa alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, steroid dan triterpenoid pada ekstrak metanol Kappaphycus alvarezi. Uji aktivitas antioksidan dengan metode DPPH menunjukkan nilai IC50 sebesar 163.82 ppm. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas antioksidan rumput laut Kappaphycus alvarezii kering yang diekstraksi dengan metanol sangat lemah. Tidak terdeteksinya kandungan fitokimia diduga karena sampel rumput laut dikeringkan dengan sinar matahari langsung, jenis rumput laut ini tidak memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang tinggi dan proses desalting yang tidak maksimal. Aktivitas antioksidan yang sangat lemah dari rumput laut ini diduga berasal dari kandungan asam lemak tak jenuh

Free radicals and reactive species are widely believed to contribute to the development of several diseases by causing oxidative stress and eventually oxidative. Vernonia amygdalina (Astereacea) is a small shrub or tree between 1 and 5m high growing throughout tropical Africa. Plants are generally known as bitter leaves is well cultivated and is a general market for merchandise in several countries. The purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of hexane fraction from ethanol extract od Frican leaves (Vernonia amygdalina Del.). The method used in this study was the DPPH (1,1-Diphenil-2-Picrylhydrazyl) method. The result of phytochemical screening showed that ethanolic extract of African leaves contained a composition of secondary metabolites of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids/triterpenoids and saponins. The antioxidant activity of the extract of n-hexane fraction was classified as very weak with an IC50 value of 317.98 ppm.

 Indonesia has millions island and big part of Indonesia is sea that is rich in marine biological resources and has the potential to be developed and optimized. One of the abundant marine resources in Indonesia is algae. Algae are plant-like protists. Algae have several important compounds, including protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and other useful elements. Proteins contained in algae have the potential to be used as antioxidants. In this study, the levels of protein in red and green algae were tested by using the lowry method and testing the antioxidant activity of red and green algae extracts using the Diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Algae extraction was done by maceration, which is soaking the sample in low temperature with phosphate buffer saline (PBS) pH 7. From the extraction results it can be concluded that the red algae (Rhodophyta) has the highest protein content of 5.115 ± 0.126% and the lowest protein content in green algae (Chloropytha) as big as 1.686 ± 0.430%. And from the results of the antioxidant activity test showed that all positive algae showed antioxidant activity but the green algae (Chlorophyta) had the highest antioxidant activity of 71.5946 ± 0.01612% with IC50 value 1.6114.

A phenolic acid had been isolated from chloroform soluble fractions of a methanol extract of stem bark of Syzygium litorale, Fam. Myrtaceae. The structure of the isolated compound was elucidated and established as gallic acid through extensive spectroscopic studies (UV-Vis, FTIR, and NMR) and by comparison with literature data and authentic sample. This is the first report of the isolation of compound from this plant, although it has previously been found in Myrtaceae family such as S. aromaticum, S. cumini, S. polyanthum, S. cordatum, etc. The chloroform fraction, isolated compound, and vitamin C showed very strong antioxidant activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with IC50 value of 23.2, 7.5, and 12.5 mg/mL, respectively.

Antioxidants are substances that can slow down the oxidation process of free radicals. Limpasu plant (Baccaurea lanceolata (Miq) Muell. Arg), an indigenous plant of Borneo, is a natural antioxidant source. The purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of the limpasu pericarpium extract. The extraction of the limpasu pericarpium was done by maceration method using solvents with increasing polarity ranging from n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Antioxidant activities of the three extracts were measured by the DPPH and FRAP methods. The IC50 values of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol extracts, as well as quercetin using the DPPH method were 517,45 µg/mL, 530,64 µg/mL, 10,63 µg/mL and 6,83 µg/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, the IC50 values obtained from FRAP method were 198,96 µg/mL, 190,07 µg/mL, 661,36 µg/mL, and 7,09 µg/mL, respectively. The results revealed that the methanol extract is more potent than other extracts tested for antioxidant activity.
