Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk,menentukan kandungan total fenolik, dan mengetahui tingkat toksisitas ekstrak muharang bawine (Dendrophthoefalcate (Lf) Etinggsh) dengan Metode BLST (Brine shrimp lethality test) dari beberapa pelarut.Uji toksisitas dengan menggunakan udang A. salina leach.Serbuk daun muharang bawine diekstraksi dengan cara maserasi bertingkat dengan menggunakan pelaut n-heksan, etil asetat dan metanol selama 3 x 24 jam sehingga diperoleh ekstrak kental. Penentuankandungan total fenolik diukur dengan metode Folin-Ciocalteu dan nilai LC50 dihitung dengan menggunakan SPSS 15.0.Kandungan total fenolik tertinggi terdapat pada hasil maserasi bertingkat ekstrak metanol, diikuti dengan hasil maserasi bertingkat ekstrak etil asetat dan hasil maserasi bertingkat ekstrak n-heksan. Hasil LC50 paling terbaik terdapat pada hasil maserasi bertingkat ekstrak metanol, kemudian diikuti dengan hasil maserasi bertingkat ekstrak etil asetat dan hasil maserasi bertingkat ekstrak n-heksan. ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the total phenolic content, and determine the toxicity level of muharang bawine extract (Dendrophthoe falcate (LF) Ettingsh) with the BLST (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method of several solvents. Toxicity test using A. salina Leach shrimp. Leaf Extract Muharang Bawine was extracted by multilevel maceration using n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol for 3 x 24 hours for thick extracts. Determination of total phenolic content was measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu method and LC50 valueswere calculated using SPSS 15.0. The highest total phenolic content was found in the results of maceration of methanol extract multilevel, followed by maceration results of multilevel ethyl acetate extract and maceration results of n-hexane extract. The best LC50 results were found in the results of maceration of methanol extract multilevel, then followed by maceration results of multilevel extract of ethyl acetate and maceration results of n-hexane extract.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), condensed tannin content (CTC) dan nilai toksisitas dari daun leleng merah. Daun leleng merah diekstraksi dengan metode maserasi dan dipartisi menggunakan pelarut n-heksana, etil asetat, dan air. Penentuan nilai TPC menggunakan metode Folin-Ciocalteu. Penentuan nilai TFC menggunakan metode AlCl3. Penentuan nilai CTC menggunakan metode vanillin-HCl. Penentuan nilai toksisitas menggunakan metode BSLT. Nilai TPC yang diperoleh pada fraksi n-heksana (FH), fraksi air (FA), dan fraksi etil asetat (FEA) daun Leleng Merah berturut-turut, adalah: 20,48; 31,7; dan 37,57 (mg/g). Nilai TFC diperoleh pada FH, FA, dan FEA berturut-turut, adalah: 0,64; 0,99; dan 1,27 (mg/g). Nilai CTC diperoleh pada FH, FA, dan FEA berturut-turut, adalah: 0,56; 2,17; dan 6,52 (mg/g). Nilai toksisitas diperoleh pada FEA, FA, FH berturut-turut, adalah: 21,93; 100,7; dan 117,22 (mg/L). FEA memiliki nilai toksisitas dan kandungan fitokimia tertinggi. Daun leleng merah bersifat toksik.Kata Kunci : Brine shrimp lethality test, leleng merah, fitokimia, Phytochemical Analysis and Toxicity Test of Leleng Merah Leaves (Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griffith) Using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test ABSTRACTThis study aims to determine the total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoids (TFC), condensed tannins (CTC) and toxicity value of Leleng Merah leaves. Leleng merah leaves were extracted by maceration method and partitioned using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water solvent. TPC values were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. TFC values were determined using the AlCl3 method. CTC values were determined using the vanillin-HCl method. Toxicity values were determined using the BSLT method. TPC values obtained in the n-hexane (FH), water (FA), and ethyl acetate (FEA) fraction of the Leleng Merah leaves, were: 20.48; 31.7; 37.57 (mg / g) respectively. TFC values obtained in FH, FA, and FEA, were : 0.64; 0.99; 1.27 (mg / g) respectively. CTC values obtained at FH, FA, FEA, were: 0.56; 2.17;  6.52 (mg/g) respectively. Toxicity values obtained at FEA, FA, FH, were: 21.93; 100.7; 117.22 (mg/L) respectively. FEA has the highest toxicity and phytochemical content. Leleng Merah Leaf is toxic.Keywords : Brine Shrimp Lethality Test, leleng merah, phytochemistry

The crude ethanol extracts of four Indonesian medicinal plants namely Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.,Phyllanthus niruri Linn., Andrographis paniculata Ness., and Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb. wereexamined for their antioxidant (radical scavenging) activity using 2, 2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) free radical and cytotoxicity using brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT). The total phenoliccontent was used the Folin-Ciocalteu method. IC50 values for DPPH radical scavenging activityranged from 14.5 to 178.5 μg/ml, with P. niruri having the lowest value and therefore the mostpotent, and C. aeruginosa having the highest value. LC50 values for BSLT ranged from 210.3 to593.2 μg/ml, with C. xanthorrhiza and A. paniculata having the lowest and highest values,respectively. The total phenolic content of the Indonesian plants ranged from 133.0 ±3.7 to863.3±54.7 mg tannic acid equivalent per 1 g extract, with C. aeruginosa and P. niruri having thelowest and highest values, respectively. A positive correlation between free radical scavengingactivity and the content of phenolic compounds was found in the four of Indonesian medicinal plants.

Current treatments for complex diseases have remarkable side effects that negatively impact patients’ quality of life. Thus, natural compounds with fewer side effects represent a promising source for safe drugs. The genus Senecio is widely used in folk medicine due to its various pharmacological properties. In the present study, the total phenolic content of Senecio glaucus, which is grown in Saudi Arabia, was assessed using the Folin-Ciocalteau colorimetric method. Scavenging DPPH and ABTS assays were utilized to determine the antioxidant properties of S. glaucus fractions, and MTT assay was used to screen the cytotoxic activity of S. glaucus against various cancer cells. In addition, HPLC-UV was utilized to detect the presence of two phenolic acids, namely, vanillic acid (VA) and gallic acid (GA). Among all fractions tested, S. glaucus chloroform fraction (SGCF) yielded the highest value (125.3 mg·GA/g) in terms of total phenolic content. SGCF also exhibited the highest scavenging activities (76.7 and 74.1%) on both DPPH and ABTS assays, respectively. Similarly, SGCF also possessed the most potent cytotoxic activity against the MCF-7 cell line, with an IC50 value of 41.8 μg/ml. The validated HPLC method confirmed the presence of VA (4.8 μg/mg DW) and GA (3.9 μg/mg DW) in SGCF. Overall, our data show that S. glaucus had antioxidant and cytotoxic properties. A developed validated HPLC method which could be helpful for quantifying phenolic compounds in S. glaucus was established.
