Extraction of Secondary Metabolites from Roots of Acanthus Ilicifolius L and ...inventionjournals
The root extracts of Acanthus ilicifolius L finds a prominent place in folk medicine. In this study, we
extracted alkaloid, flavonoid, tannin and total phenols in benzene, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol and
ethanol, their antibacterial activity and antioxidant activity was evaluated. The antioxidant activity is executed
by FRAP assay and agar well diffusion method is done to study the antibacterial activity against Enterobacter
aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus
pyogenes. The antibacterial activity of all the extracts was compared with standard antibiotic gentamicin.
The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration [MIC] was determined by serial dilution method. Alkaloids are rich in
acetone and Flavonoids are high in methanol extracts. The acetone extract showed higher antioxidant activity,
while benzene extract was identified to contain lower antioxidant activity. The extent of inhibition by the root
extracts diverge between the solvents used, among them ethanol extracts exhibited higher level of inhibition
against the gram positive test cultures compared to gram negative test cultures employed. Whereas, the acetone
extracts efficacy is more on gram negative test cultures than the gram positive cultures. The MIC was found to
be between 1mg/100µl to 5mg/100µl. This study gives the source for purification and characterization of
bioactive principles that possess antioxidant and antibacterial action from the root of Acanthus ilicifolius.

Wild hops (Flemingia strobilifera Linn.) is a shrub belonging to Fabaceae family. The leaves of F. strobilifera are commonly used by the Subanen, the indigenous group in Lapuyan, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines to treat inflammation. In this study, the hydromethanolic (80%) and aqueous leaf extracts of F. strobilifera were evaluated for their antioxidant activity and total phenolics content. The active semi-volatile components of 80% methanol leaf extract were analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). DPPH radical scavenging activity was used to determine the potential of this plant as anti-oxidant. Total phenolics content was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and calculated as gallic acid equivalence. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of eight compounds. Both the 80% methanol and aqueous extracts of F. strobilifera showed significant scavenging activity with low IC50 values of 0.299 mg/mL and <0.25 mg/mL, respectively. There was positive correlation between the scavenging activity percentage and the total phenolics content only in the aqueous extract of F. strobilifera while 80% methanol extract showed negative correlation between inhibition percentage and total phenolics content which can be attributed to the solvent used and method used in quantification of phenolics. Nevertheless, the results suggest that these leaf extracts are potent source of antioxidant compounds and may serve as natural anti-inflammatory agents.

The Comprehensive Review on Fat Soluble Vitaminsiosrphr_editor
This review article deals with brief description of fat soluble vitamins with figures and tables
showing statistical analytical data duly quoting the references wherever necessary. The word “soluble” actually
means “able to be dissolved.” Whether a vitamin is classified as 'fat-soluble' or 'water-soluble' has to do with
how the vitamin is absorbed, stored and removed from the body. Vitamins are tiny organic compounds with a
huge impact on the health and well-being of the body. The body needs a small amount of fat soluble vitamins in
order to stay in optimal health. Fat soluble vitamins play an important role in keeping the body healthy and
functioning from immune system and muscle and heart function, easy flow and clotting of blood as well as eye
health. They are critical to health and wellness–particularly reproductive health and wellness. Low-fat, no-fat
and vegan diets are woefully lacking in fat soluble vitamins. However a diet based on traditional foods can
naturally provide these vitamins. Science is still learning about many of the functions of vitamins. "Too much
vitamin A, D, or K can lead to increased levels that are unhealthy and can cause serious health consequences.
Diseased conditions leading to decreased fat absorption leads to decreased absorption of vitamins. The fatsoluble
vitamins work most safely and effectively when obtained them from natural foods within the context of a
diet rich in all their synergistic partners. If fat soluble vitamins are stored for lengthy time they generate threat
for toxicity than water soluble vitamins and such situation even aggravated, provided they are consumed in
excess. Vitamin products, above the legal limits are not considered food supplements and must be registered as
prescription or non-prescription (over-the-counter drugs) due to their potential side effects. Vitamin A and E
supplements do not provide health benefits for healthy individuals, instead they may enhance mortality, and it is
held proved that beta-carotene supplements can be harmful to smokers

Indonesian Wild Ginger (Zingiber sp) Extract: Antibacterial Activity against ...iosrphr_editor
Lempuyang gajah (Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith), lempuyang pahit (Zingiber amaricans BL.), and
lempuyang wangi (Zingiber aromaticum Vahl.) are used as traditional medicine (jamu) in Indonesia. It is also
used for treatment of microbial infections, helps to increase appetite and stimulate digestion in chickens.
Information on their uses are available, but only limited in the scientific data on their bioactivity. The study was
conducted on the antibacterial effect of organic extracts of these plants with Mycoplasma gallisepticum as the
agent of chronic respiratory disease in chickens. Juice and extracts of fresh and dried rhizome are evaluated
through the disc diffusion assay and minimum inhibitory concentration. Oxytetracyclin (30 µg) are used as
standards. All extracts are individually exhibited as antibacterial activity against Mycoplasma gallisepticum (7
± 0.11 mm to 21 ± 0.86 mm). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination of plants extracts are
ranged from 7.8 mg/ml to 31.2 mg/ml. The preliminary results suggested promising antibacterial properties of
wild ginger from Indonesia, and probably could be used in management of chronic respiratory disease in
chickens.
A case of allergy and food sensitivity: the nasunin, natural color of eggplantiosrphr_editor
Abstract: Allergies and food sensitivities can both be considered as "adverse reactions individualistic" to food.
Are pathological and individual forms because they affect a few individuals in way rather serious; immediate
or delayed reactions occur instead with simple effects histamine, or, in severe cases with respiratory and
anaphylactic shock
The eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is known to cause food allergies in some Asian countries, but detailed
studies on allergies caused by eggplant are lacking, however, it was highlighted the presence of allergens in
edible parts of eggplant with preponderance in the peel .
The purpose of this study was to propose an extraction method rapid, efficient and cost of natural dye from
waste products from the food industry, such as the peels of eggplant, from which it was extracted, isolated and
purified the nasunin,a colored molecule in red-fuchsia.
Nasusin was tested on 58 patients to evaluate the potential sensitizing effect on the skin. The results demonstrate
that allergenic effects are negligible and therefore the nasunin can be used as a colorant in various industrial
sectors with a certain safety margin

Epidemiology of Tuberculosis (TB) in Albania 1998-2009iosrphr_editor
Abstract : In Albania, many people erroneously think that tuberculosis (TB) is a disease of the past-an illness
that no longer constitutes a public health threat. Surveillance is an integral part of tuberculosis (TB) control.
Albania has a highTB notification rate and there are doubts about underreporting. The evolution of the
incidence of tuberculosis is presented, together with more detailed figures over the period 1998-2009. These
figures were obtained by the monthly forms (called 14/Sh) compared with the individual notification data.
Objective: To examine the distribution and sources of increased tuberculosis (TB) morbidity and reporting
system deficiencies in the Albania from 1998 through 2009. Metodology: The study is descriptive one conductet
during the period 1998-2009. The statistical analysis is based on data reported from regional level (regional
epidemiological departments) to the central level (Public Health Institute). Results: The main findings were:
discordance between the collected data (individual form) and reported data (monthly form); tuberculosis
incidence rate shows little oscillations which ranges from 6.67 to 9.2 cases/100.000 population; 50% of the
regions show a lack of information on the confirmation of diagnosis and laboratory examination type used for
confirmation. Conclusion: TB disease in high-risk populations where it is difficult to detect, diagnose, and treat;
limitations of current control measures and the need for new tests and treatments, including an effective
vaccine; improving information system, regulation of individual form and personnel training.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most widely used "over the counter" medication all over the world despite their complications in different major organs. Present studies envisaged for knowing the occurrence and severity of adverse drug reactions from NSAIDs in different ethnic communities of Sikkim. A cross sectional study was undertaken in the medicine outpatients department of a secondary and tertiary care hospital. The patients belonging to Nepalese, Bhutias, Lepchas ethnic communities and others community (settlers from other parts of India) were included to analyzed the data based on the age and gender, ethnicity and ADRs, drugs and ADRs. Severity assessment was done using Hartwing and Siegel scale and causality assessment by Naranjo scale. Total 109 cases of ADRs, predominating in female were detected. Nepalese were the most affected and Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) being the most affected organ in them. Diclofenac showed maximum number of ADRs in all the communities. Maximum number of cases occurred on single day use (40.36%) of drugs. All the cases were belonging to the "possible category" and the maximum being the mild (72.48%) in nature. It is advisable to consider the ethnic/racial differences equally with other factors, to improve the safety and efficacy of a drug.
Hematological and biochemical alterations in malaria and their correlation wi...iosrphr_editor
Malaria is a major health problem in India with 1.04 million cases reported in 2012 leading to 504 deaths. The clinical spectrum depends on the infecting species, level of parasitemia and the immune status of the host. Malaria pathogenesis is based on extensive changes in hematological and biochemical parameters. The objective of this study was to study the clinical features, hematological and biochemical parameters in malaria patients and correlate them with the parasitic index (PI). Material and methods: We conducted a study on 300 malaria patients. The frequency of various symptoms and signs of malaria caused by various plasmodium species were determined. The degree of anemia, WBC count, platelet count serum bilirubin, liver enzymes and serum creatinine levels were studied and their variation depending on the parasitic index was documented. Results: 197 patients had vivax malaria, 76 patients had falciparum malaria and 27 patients had mixed infection. 171 patients had a PI of less than 2%, 100 patients had PI between 2 to 5%, 23 patients had PI between 5 to 10% and only 6 patients had PI of more than 10%. 72.3% of patients had thrombocytopenia, 46.66% had anaemia, 25% had increased bilirubin 29.66% showed increased liver enzymes and 7.66% had increased creatinine levels. Conclusion: There was a correlation between degree of parasitemia and severity of malaria in majority of cases. Derangements in hematological and biochemical parameters were more frequently seen in patients with higher PI. Hence PI can be used as an indicator by the clinician to know the severity of infection and plan appropriate treatment.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Abstract : Clove mistletoe (Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq) is one of the semi-parasitic plants belonging to
the Loranthaceae family. Clove mistletoe leaf extracts have many biological activities such as antibacterial,
antioxidant and antidiabetes. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of secondary metabolites in
clove mistletoe leaf extracts through phytochemical screening and determine its antioxidant activity through
DPPH free radical scavenging. Samples were tested include water and ethanol 70 % extracts, as well as n-
hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol fractions. Phytochemical screening showed that all samples containing
tannins and flavonoids but no alkaloids. The highest total phenol contents was ethyl acetate fraction namely
358.4 mg GAE/ g. The best antioxidant activity was water extract, ethanol 70 % extract and ethyl acetate
fraction. Therefore, clove mistletoe leaf extracts are potential source for antioxidant.

I. INTRODUCTION
Mistletoe is semi-parasitic plants widely spread in Indonesia. Usually people recognize mistletoe based
on host plant where it lives. Its spread occurs through seed-eating birds. Beside is known as destroyer of host
plants, it also is known has ability as medicinal plants [1] such as cough medicine, diabetes, hypertension,
cancer, ulcers and skin infection [2-3]. One kind of mistletoe is not widely known yet biological activity is clove
mistletoe (Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq). This plant is included into Loranthaceae family, i.e. semi-
parasitic plants bound the branches of their hosts via a sucker called haustorium [4].
Previous study showed that clove mistletoe phenol extract in roots, stems, leaves and flowers contain
phenol compound that act as antioxidant agent [5]. Antioxidant is substance that can inhibit oxidation process by
pressing the cell damage caused by free radical oxidation. Free radical is unstable because it has unpaired
electron and usually look for pairs of electrons in biological macromolecules [6]. Presence of free radicals in the
body can lead to various degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart [7-8]. Using of the natural
antioxidants in free radicals scavenging have also some advantages as the examples are being obtained easily,
economically and have slight or no side effects [9].
One of the method to determine antioxidant activity from natural substance extract is DPPH (1,1-
diphenyl-2-pycrilhydrazyl) method [9-11]. DPPH is stable free radical in room temperature and the result
reaction with antioxidant involves a colour change from violet to yellow [9]. In this study, clove mistletoe leaf
was extracted with different solvent that used to evaluate secondary metabolite compound through
phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity through DPPH free radical scavenging.
II. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1 Plant Materials
Fresh leaf of Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq was collected from Curup, Bengkulu Province,
Indonesia. Taxonomic authentication of the sample was conducted by a botanist in the Herbarium Bogoriense,
Research Centre for Biology-Indonesia Institut of Sciences, Bogor, Indonesia.
2.2 Extraction and Fractination
Extractions were conducted by boiling and maceration. Comparison of the clove mistletoe leaf powder
with solvent is 1:10. Boiling was conducted by boil the leaf powder into the water solvent for 2 hours while
maceration by it immersing into ethanol 70 % for 24 hours with a shaker in speed of 150 rpm. The mixture was
separated and evaporated using an evaporator to obtain water and ethanol extracts. The ethanol extract further
fractionated with a solvent which has a different polarity, i.e. n-hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol. The test

10 mg sample was mixed with 1 mL of 2 N HCl and 9 mL of distilled water. The mixture was heated
for 2 minutes and cooled. The filtrate was filtered and used for following test (i.e. Meyer, Bouchardart and
Dragendorf tests).
2.3.2 Test for tannins
10 mg sample was boiled in 50 mL of distilled water and then filtered. A quantity (5 mL) of test
solution was added into a test tube followed some drop of FeCl3. Formation of brownish green or blue black
colouration indicates presence of tannins.
2.3.3 Test for flavonoids
10 mg sample was mixed with 10 mL of distilled water. The mixture was heated for 5 minutes and
filtered. The filtrate was mixed with Mg powder, 1 mL of strong HCl and 1 mL of amyl alcohol. Formation of
colour in amyl alcohol layer indicates flavonoids.
2.3.4 Test for saponins
10 mg sample was added into test tube and 10 mL of boiling water was added and than cooled. The
mixture was agitated vertically for 10 seconds. For 10 minutes formation of foam indicates saponins.
2.3.5 Test for triterpenoids
10 mg sample was mixed with 5 mL of eter solution and evaporated. Test solution was mixed with
anhydrate acetate acid and strong H2SO4 (2:1). Formation of red-green colour indicates triterpenoids.
2.4 Total Content Phenol Determination
Three hundred microliter of samples were added into test tubes followed by 1.5 mL of Folin-Ciocalteu
reagent (1:10) and 1.2 mLof Na2CO3 (7.5 %). The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes
and then the absorbance was measured using a spectrophotometer at 765 nm. Total phenol content of samples
were expressed as mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/ g fresh sample.
2.5 Antioxidant Assay
100 µL sample solution (5, 10, 30, 50, 100 and 200 µg/mL) were added into wellplate and than mixed
with 100 µL of ethanol solution and 100 µL of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals solution. The
mixture was incubated for 30 minutes in room temperature, and than the absorbance was measured using
microplate reader at 517 nm. α-tocopherol was used as a positive control. The capacity to scavenge the DPPH
radical was calculated by the equation : [(A-B)/A] × 100 %; whereas A is the absorbance of the negative control
(DPPH plus ethanol) and B is the absorbance of the sample. The activity was expressed as IC50 (the
concentration of sample required to scavenge 50 % of DPPH free radicals).
2.6 Statistical Analysis
The statistical significance was assessed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s
Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Significance was accepted at P < 0.05.
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Phytochemical Screening
Phytochemical screening is a preliminary analysis to determine the content of secondary metabolites in
plants. Naturally produced by plants to interact with biotic and abiotic environment [12]. Presence of
phytochemical compounds can be used to develop new drugs [13]. The result showed that all test samples
containing flavonoids and triterpenoids, but no alkaloids. While tannins was not contained in the n-hexane
fraction and also all samples contained saponin except n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions. Methanol extract of
Viscum album mistletoe contained tannins and flavonoids but did not contain alkaloids and saponins [3].
Differences of secondary metabolites in plants are influenced by kinds of host mistletoe and solvents used for
extraction [2,14]. Phytochemical compounds of test samples can be seen in Table 1.
3.1.1 Tannins
Tannins are plant polyphenols which have many biological activities such as antitumor, anti-plasmin
inhibitors, antioxidants and can bind to the protein [15-17]. Tannins can be found in every part of the plant that
serves to help the regulation of tissue growth and as a pesticide [17-18]. FeCl3 was known can be used to detect
the presence of tannins in the leaf methanol extract of F. thonningii [19], ethanol and acetone extract of guava
leaf [20]. Presence of tannins compound can be react with Fe3+
ions form complex green or blue-black [20].
Tannins have a high solubility in polar solvents and other organic solvents. Ethanol is a good solvent to extract
tannin because it has OH groups which can react with functional groups of tannin [20].
3. Phytochemical screening and antioxidant…
15
In general, tannins can be classified into two groups, namely hydrolysable tannins and condensed
tannins. Tannin compounds that have been isolated and have antioxidant activity were epicatechin on C.
equisetilofia [21], epigallocatechin, gallocatechin and epigallocatechin- (4β → 8) -gallocathecin on
Stryphnodendron obovatum Benth [22]. In addition, the antioxidant activity of Castanea mollissima Blume
characterized as hydrolysable tannin [23].
3.1.2 Alkaloids
Alkaloids are alkaline compound, having one or more nitrogen atom those are part of a cyclic system.
Alkaloids are widely distributed in the plant kingdom [24]. Alkaloids can be detected by extracting plant with
water solvent added acid. In addition, alkaloids also can be detected by adding alkaline directly to plants sample
powder, then extracted with organic solvents [24]. Alkaloids can be used as therapeutic and pharmacological
agents. They have biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antidiabetes, antioxidant and antibacterial [25-
27].
3.1.3 Flavonoids
Flavonoids are secondary metabolites of plants and represent a large group of polyphenol compounds
[28]. Many plants containing flavonoids such as ethanol extract of Entada scandens [29], ethanol extract of
Ocimun basilicum L. (Basil) [30] and water extract of Dendrophthoe falcata mistletoe leaf [31]. Flavonoid
compounds are relatively polar so that can be extracted with solvent polar such as water, methanol and ethanol
[32]. Presence of flavonoids can be detected by adding a small piece of magnesium ribbon into alcohol solvent
and mixed with HCl. The formation of color in the alcohol layer indicates a flavonoid compound. Type of color
formed depends by the type of flavonoid compounds found in plants [24].
Flavonoids were known have biological activities such as antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial
[33-36]. The kinds of flavonoid that have been isolated and have antioxidant activity were rutin and quercetin of
mulberry leaves [37] and flavonol glycosides in the ethanol extract of Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq
mistletoe [38]. Antioxidant activity of flavonoid shown by the basic structure in the form of flavan nucleus,
which consists of 15 carbon atoms arranged in three rings (C6-C3-C8), labeled A, B and C (Fig. 1) [34]. In the
basic structure of flavonoids, flavan nucleus, number, position and types of substititions effect in radical
scavenging and chelating activity [39].
3.1.4 Saponins
Saponins are glycoside which consist of steroidal or terpenoid aglycone and associated to one or more
sugar chain [40]. They can be found in many species of plants. They have biological activities such as
antioxidants and antiglycation [40-41].
3.1.5 Triterpenoids
Triterpenoids are organic compounds which formed naturally in plants. They have a C30 carbon
skeleton and biosynthesized from squalene, a precursor of steroid [42]. They are classified as tetracyclic
triterpenoids and pentacyclic triterpenoids [43]. Several triterpenoid have biological activities such as
antioxidant from methanol extracts of Salvia macrochlamys and stems of Momordica charantia, antyglycation
from Aralia taibaiensis and antidiabetes from bitter melon [44-47]
3.2 Total Phenol Compounds
Total phenol contents was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteau method. It was stated as Gallic Acid
Equivalent (GAE). Regression similarity was obtained from measuring of gallic acid standard namely y= 0.018x
+ 0.113 with R2
= 0.990. The result measuring of total phenol contents showed that water extract, ethanol
extract, n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction and ethanol fraction were significantly different (p<0.05)
namely 85.6, 109.8, 26.4, 358.4 dan 37.4 mg GAE/g sample, respectively (Fig. 2).
In this study, the highest of total phenol contents was showed by ethyl acetate fraction and the smallest
was showed by n-hexane fraction. This suggest that ethanol 70 % extract was more containing phenol
compound which has the nature of semipolar. According to research conducted by The et al [14] n-hexane
solvent has small ability to extract of hydrophilic phenol compounds, but it was strong to extract phosphatides,
lipid and other compounds that soluble in fat. Thus, total phenol content depends on the type of solvent that used
during extraction [14].
3.3 Antioxidant Activity
Antioxidants act as free radical scavenging that derived from oxidation process. Its activity based on
IC50 value (Table 2). The result in this study showed that water extract, ethanol 70 % extract and fraction of
ethyl acetate were not significantly different, but they were significantly different with n-hexane and ethanol

fractions. They depend on phenol derivate compounds that obtained from extraction. Phenol compounds are
essential constituen in plants and extract that containing much phenol has free radical scavenging activity is
higher than other extracts [48-49]. In addition, based on phytochemical screening showed that all samples
containing flavonoids which known act as antioxidant agent [30].
Antioxidant compounds in this study were more soluble in polar and semipolar solvents than nonpolar
like n-hexane. High-polarity solvents have good ability in free radical scavenging [14]. α-tocopherol was used
as comparator in DPPH free radical scavenging. Its antioxidant activity was not significantly different with
water extract, ethanol 70 % extract and ethyl acetate fraction. This was caused by presence of OH group in
aromatic ring from α-tocopherol and phenol compounds [50]. In addition, α-tocopherol or phenol compounds
has one site of electron arrest so that their stoichiometric be 1:1, it means that one mocelule of DPPH can be
reducted by one molecule of α-tocopherol or phenol compound.

V. CONCLUSION
The study showed that clove mistletoe leaf extracts (Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq) contained of
secondary metabolites which act as antioxidant agent. Phytochemical compounds that obtained depend on the
kind of solvent that used for extraction. All the test samples had different of activity antioxidant. The highest
IC50 in free radical scavenging was water extract, ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction with the value 11.4
µg/mL, 6.8 µg/mL and 6.4 µg/mL, respectively.
