Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, antioxidant, toxicity and phytochemical screening of the Red Propolis Alagoas. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by disk diffusion method. Determination of antioxidant activity was performed using the DPPH assay (1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), FTC (ferric thiocyanate) and determination of phenolic compounds by Follin method. Toxicity was performed by the method of Artemia salina and cytotoxicity by MTT method. The phytochemical screening for the detection of allelochemicals was performed. The ethanol extract of propolis of Alagoas showed significant results for antimicrobial activity, and inhibitory activity for Staphylococcus aureus and Candida krusei. The antioxidant activity of the FTC method was 80% to 108.3% hydrogen peroxide kidnapping, the DPPH method showed an EC50 3.97 mg/mL, the content of total phenolic compounds was determined by calibration curve gallic acid, resulting from 0.0005 mg/100 g of gallic acid equivalent. The extract was non-toxic by A. salina method. The propolis extract showed high activity with a higher percentage than 75% inhibition of tumor cells OVCAR-8, SF-295 and HCT116. Chemical constituents were observed as flavonones, xanthones, flavonols, and Chalcones Auronas, Catechins and leucoanthocyanidins. It is concluded that the extract can be tested is considered a potential source of bioactive metabolites.

Abstract: Kesum Plants (Polygonum minus) is one of the endemic plants in West Borneo containing phenolic compounds, steroids, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and beta-carotene. Phenolic, flavonoids and beta-carotene are antioxidant compounds. Most phenolic and flavonoid groups are polar compounds. Therefore, in this research used methanol solvent as representative of polar solvent. The purpose of this research  was to know the difference of antioxidant activity of methanol extract of kesum leaves with vitamin C. The extraction  is done by maseration for 3 x 24 hours, where the solvent is changed every 24 hours. The method used to measure antioxidant activity is the DPPH method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The samples used in this paper are methanol extract of  kesum leaves in 80, 65, 50, 35, and 20 ppm with five replications. The comparator used is vitamin C. The result of the research showed that IC50 of methanol extract was 20,632 ppm and IC50 of vitamin C 6,175 ppm. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that vitamin C and methanol extract of serum leaves have a very strong antioxidant activity.Abstrak: Tanaman Kesum (Polygonum minus) merupakan salah satu tanaman endemik di wilayah Kalimantan Barat yang mengandung senyawa golongan fenolik, steroid, flavonoid, alkaloid, tanin, saponin, dan betakaroten. Golongan fenolik, flavonoid dan betakaroten merupakan senyawa antioksidan. Sebagian besar golongan fenolik dan flavonoid merupakan senyawa polar. Maka dari itu, pada penelitian ini digunakan pelarut metanol sebagai perwakilan pelarut polar. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui perbedaan aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak metanol daun kesum terhadap vitamin C. Proses ekstraksi dilakukan dengan cara maserasi selama 3 x 24 jam, dimana pelarutnya diganti setiap 24 jam sekali. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengukur aktivitas antioksidan adalah metode DPPH (2,2-difenil-1-pikrilhidrazil). Sampel yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu ekstrak metanol daun kesum konsentrasi 80, 65, 50, 35, dan 20 ppm dengan pengulangan sebanyak lima kali. Pembanding yang digunakan adalah vitamin C. Hasil penelitian didapatkan IC50 ekstrak metanol daun kesum sebesar 20.632 ppm dan IC50 vitamin C sebesar 6.175 ppm. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa vitamin C dan ekstrak metanol daun kesum memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang sangat kuat.


Dates consisting of 90% flesh have been known to have various benefits, but the remaining 10% of them in the form of seeds has not been utilized optimally. The date palm contains a fairly high polyphenol compound, which can act as an antioxidant. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of methanol extract and fractionation of the extract of dates using the in vitro method of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrilhidrazil). The date seeds are made into simplicia, macerated with methanol, and then the extracted methanol is gradually fractionated by n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. Each fraction and extract is phytochemically screened using the standard methods and its antioxidant activity is determined by DPPH method. Methanol extract, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water fractions contain tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponin, while the n-hexane fraction not contain phytochemical compound based on the phytochemical screening. The ethyl acetate fraction has the strongest antioxidant activity with the lowest IC50 value, that is equal to 3.72 ± 0.44 μg/mL, followed by methanol extract of 4.71 ± 0.64 μg/mL, n-butanol fraction of 6.62 ± 0.08 μg/mL, water fraction of 53.00 ± 18.96 μg/mL, and n-hexane fraction of 250.19 ± 9.69 μg/ mL, while the IC50 value of vitamin C as the positive control is 4.29 ± 0.74 μg/mL. Therefore, date seeds can be a source of natural antioxidants
