Tanaman ruku-ruku (Ocimum tenuiflorum L.) merupakan herbal yang banyak digunakan masyarakat dalam pengobatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi antioksidan dari seluruh komponen yang bersifat polar, semipolar dan nonpolar dengan menguji aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak methanol, etil asetat dan heksana tanaman ruku-ruku. Simplisia daun dan batang ruku-ruku dimaserasi dengan metanol, etil asetat dan heksana. Aktivitas antioksidan dari ekstrak methanol, etil asetat dan heksana dilakukan menggunakan metode DPPH. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ekstrak etil asetat memberikan aktivitas antioksidan yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan ekstrak metanol dan heksana. Aktivitas antioksidan dari ekstrak etil asetat diperoleh dengan nilai IC50 1503.58 µg/mL. Berdasarkan nilai IC50 ekstrak etil asetat tanaman ruku-ruku memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang lemah

Introduction: Many environmental risk factors are associated with some form of chronic inflammation. The spread of COVID-19 across the world has impacted every one of us. The first case of coronavirus was reported on 30 January 2020 in India originating from China. Study Area: India has a tremendous capacity to deal with the coronavirus outbreak because of its high immunity and climatic conditions. Maintaining social distancing and hand washing is not a sufficient step for preventing COVID-19. Indian system of traditional medicine has a potential worth to enhance immunity, which can resist a novel coronavirus. Material & Methods: A detailed study was carried out by analyzing national and international scientific databases (PubMed, SciFinder, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science, Mendeley), thesis, and recognized books. Only Indian herbs with high immunity resistant power were analyzed. Epidemiologic studies with information on COVID-19 risk factors and precautions also considered for study purposes. Results: Some herbs like Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulsi), Glycyrrhiza glabra (Liquorice), Curcuma domestica Vahl (Turmeric), Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy), Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha), Cinnamon (Dalchini), Shoot of Triticumaestivum Linn. (Wheatgrass), Andrographis paniculata (Kalmegh), can help in boosting immunity for COVID-19 disease. Discussion: Despite the shreds of evidence for the efficacy of these herbs in treating coronavirus induced infections; the proper dose with ideal timing for such interventions needs to verify in clinical trials. Researchers must have to take the privilege to explore the potential of herbs to reduce such epidemics of environmental threats.
