ABSTRACTMulberry is one of the plants growing in Indonesian and widely used as traditional medicine. The active compounds found in Mulberry leaves are known have an antioxidant activity. The aim of this study is to formulate cream preparations from ethanol extracts of Mulberry leaves and to determine its antioxidant activities. Mulberry leaves was macerated using ethanol 96%. Antioxidant activity of mulberry leaves cream then evaluated against DPPH as free radical and measured at 517 nm wavelength using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that the cream of ethanol extract from Mulberry leaves had a very strong antioxidant activity with IC50 values in a row that is 1.7831 ppm, 0.8215 ppm and 0.7668 ppm. This can be compared with a Vitamin C solution, which has a very strong antioxidant activity with IC50 value was 1.1113 ppm. This study concludes that the cream from Mulberry leaves ethanol extract has a very strong antioxidant activity.Keywords: Mulberry leaves, Cream, Antioxidant, DPPHABSTRAK Murbei merupakan salah satu tanaman yang tumbuh di Indonesia dan  banyak digunakan dalam pengobatan secara tradisional.

This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of akar kuning (Arcangelisia flava) stem extract from Central Kalimantan using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. This research includes extraction of simplicia and test of antioxidant activity by DPPH method. Based on the analysis of antioxidant activity on ethanol extract from yellow root plant stem IC50 values of 136.81 ppm were obtained. This IC50 value indicates the antioxidant strength of the yellow root plant stems including in the moderate category. Further research on antioxidant activity in the fraction of akar kuning stems needs to be done to determine the composition of the antioxidant compounds in each solvent.

Aims: The study aimed to evaluate the antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant activities of Matricaria pubescens. Background: Matricaria pubescens (Desf.) Shultz belongs to Asteraceae family and it is commonly used traditionally for handling diabetes mellitus. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the antioxidant activity of Matricaria pubescens (Desf.) Shultz and its effect on lipid and lipoprotein profile in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: The effect of repeated (7 days of treatment) oral administration of the aqueous extract of aerial part of Matricaria pubescens (MPAE) at a dose of 40 mg/kg on lipid and lipoprotein profile was examined in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Furthermore, a preliminary phytochemical screening and the quantification of phenolic, flavonoid and tannin contents as well as the antioxidant activity using two methods (FRAP and ABTS) were carried out. Results: MPAE demonstrated a potent antidyslipidemic effect in diabetic rats by reducing serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). In addition, the results showed that the extract is rich in several phytochemical compounds and revealed an important antioxidant activity. Conclusion: In summary, this study proved that Matricaria pubescens (Desf.) Shultz. has a favorable effect on diabetic dyslipidemia.

AbstractSample particle size is an important parameter in the solid–liquid extraction system of natural products for obtaining their bioactive compounds. This study evaluates the effect of sample particle size on the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of brown macroalgae Sargassum cristaefolium. The crude ethanol extract was extracted from dried powders of S.cristeafolium with various particle sizes (> 4000 µm, > 250 µm, > 125 µm, > 45 µm, and < 45 µm). The ethanolic extracts of S.cristaefolium were analysed for Total Phenolic Content (TPC), Total Flavonoid Content (TFC), phenolic compound concentration and antioxidant activities. The extract yield and phytochemical composition were more abundant in smaller particle sizes. Furthermore, the TPC (14.19 ± 2.08 mg GAE/g extract to 43.27 ± 2.56 mg GAE/g extract) and TFC (9.6 ± 1.8 mg QE/g extract to 70.27 ± 3.59 mg QE/g extract) values also significantly increased as particle sizes decreased. In addition, phenolic compounds epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC), and Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) concentration were frequently increased in samples of smaller particle sizes based on two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison analysis. These results correlate with the significantly stronger antioxidant activity in samples with smaller particle sizes. The smallest particle size (< 45 µm) demonstrated the strongest antioxidant activity based on DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl assay and FRAP. In addition, ramp function graph evaluates the desired particle size for maximum phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity is 44 µm. In conclusion, current results show the importance of particle size reduction of macroalgae samples to increase the effectivity of its biological activity.

This research was conducted to identify the phytochemical compounds and antioxidant activity of pepe leaves (Gymnema reticulatum Br.) crude extract in various solvent types. The experimental design used in this research was a completely randomized design with solvent type treatments consisting of 5 types : aquadest, ethyl acetate 96%, acetone 70%, ethanol 70%, and methanol 95%. The treatment was repeated three times, so that 15 experimental units were obtained. Qualitative data obtained in this research were displayed with tables, while quantitative data were analyzed by variance and if the treatment had a significant effect, then followed by Duncan's test. The results showed that the treatment of solvent types affected phytochemical compounds that was extracted from pepe leaves and had a significant effect (P<0.01) on yield, total phenol, total flavonoids, and antioxidant activity. The best results showed that 70% acetone solvents were able to extract phytochemical compounds from alkaloids, saponins, phenols, flavonoids, and steroids in the form of sterols and had the highest antioxidant activity based on 62.06% free radical inhibition percentage with IC50 values of 200.775 mg/L, yield 32.35%, total phenol 36.14 mgGAE/g extract, and total flavonoids 50.37 mgQE/g extract.

Oxidative stress is one of the common problems seen in a variety of diseases. Chalcones and in particular heteroaryl chalcones had reported with promising antioxidant activities. Hence, in the present work, we reported the antioxidant activity of twenty thiazole ring bearing chalcone derivatives (1-20). Among the tested compounds, compounds 17, 19 and 20 containing 2-pyridinyl, 3-pyridinyl and 2-thiazolyl scaffolds showed superior antioxidant activity than the standard with their IC50 values 4±1µg/mL, 3±1 µg/mL and 5±1 µg/mL respectively. The compound 19 is an interesting lead for the development of newer antioxidant agents.
