Natural plant extracts offer a promising hope in the prevention/treatment of cancer arising from genetic mutations. This study evaluated in vitro and in vivo mutagenic and antimutagenic effects of aqueous fraction of Myristica fragrans (AFMF) leaves on TA100 strain of Salmonella typhimurium and Mus musculus (Male Swiss albino mice), respectively. The antioxidant activity of AFMF against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined, followed by its phytochemical elucidation using the Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography technique (UPLC). The mutagenicity of AFMF at 4, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 µg/well was

Objective: Myristica fragrans Houtt commonly used as traditional medicine for alleviating of various disorders. The purpose of our study was to map out the in vitro antioxidant property and in vivo anti-hyperglycemic and analgesic effect of the methanolic extract of Myristica fragrans Houtt. (Seed and mace) (Myristicaceae) on Swiss albino mice. Methods: The processed powder of Myristica fragrans Houtt (seed and mace) were subjected to methanolic extraction by soxhlet filtration methods, and the desiccated extract was used for screening of antioxidant by DPPH free radical scavenging assessment as well as total phenolic content by using folin-ciocalteu reagent.Anti-hyperglycemic effect and analgesic action tested through alloxan induced antidiabetics test and acetic acid-tempted writhing test on mice. Results: In DPPH free radical scavenging assessment, free radicals neutralization expressed as % of inhibition 49.69±0.06% also by IC50 values as 68.43 µg/ml surmise middle level of antioxidant property. The total phenolic content expressed as 186.25 mg/g equivalent of gallic acid indicates, active phenolic content. Oral administration of 200 and 400 mg/kg of extract dose and reference drug vildagliptin (50 mg/kg) for the duration of the 4-day study period, and initiated % of inhibition the blood glucose level measured as 22.48%, 44.78% and 62.02% regard as the significant anti-hyperglycemic properties. The analgesic activity was investigated by using the acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice, at the dose of 200 mg/kg body and 400mg/kg weight, and resulting 50.4% and 68.10% correspondingly, which was considerably significant with a standard drug. Conclusion: The present study suggests that methanolic extract of seed and mace of Myristica fragrans Houtt can manage moderate oxidative stress as well as perform the painkilling action. Besides, prolong medication may enhance the new dimension of anti-hyperglycemic activity.

Variasi formulasi oleoresin fuli pala dan gum arab yang dicobakan adalah A1 (5%), A2 (10%), A3 (15%), A4 (20%) dan A5 (20%). Pembentukan emulsi dilakukan dengan <em>Turrax homogenizer</em> dengan kecepatan 4000 rpm selama 5 menit. Pembentukan mikrokapsul dilakukan dengan menggunakan pengering semprot (<em>spray</em> <em>dryer</em>) dengan suhu inlet dan outlet masing-masing 110<sup>0</sup>C dan 62<sup>0</sup>C. Mikrokapsul yang dihasilkan dianalisis karakteristiknya yang meliputi rendemen mikrokapsul, kadar oleoresin terkapsulkan, kadar oleoresin tak terkapsulkan, kadar air, <em>engel of repose,</em> <em>wettability</em> dan rehidrasi, aktivitas antioksidan dengan metode <em>RSA (radikal scavenging activity) DPPH (2-2Dhpypenil-2 Picrylhydrazil)</em> dan kromatografi gas-spektrometri massa (GC-MS). Mikrokapsul yang terbaik diperoleh dengan variasi formulasi oleoresin fuli pala dan gum arab adalah  A1 (5%). Sifat mikrokapsul yang diperoleh menpunyai rendemen mikrokapsul 24,68%, oleoresin terkapsulkan 92,68%, oleoresin tak terkapsulkan 7,607%, kadar air 8,444%, <em>angel of repose</em> 19,083 (<sup>0</sup>), <em>wettability</em> 5,9 (menit), aktivitas antioksidan (IC<sub>50)</sub> 1032 ppm dan kromatografi gas-spektrometri massa (GC-MS) dengan komponen terbesar penyusun mikrokapsul oleoresin fuli pala yaitu <em>sabinene hexane, 4-methylene-1-, myristycin, phenol 2,6 dimetoksi-4-2 (2-peopenil), phenol, 2-metoksi-4-(propennyl).</em>
