ABSTRACT Gedi (Abelmoschus manihot L.) is a tropical plant of family malvaceae, traditionally known in North Sulawesi as a vegetable plant. Gren gedi leaves from Bitung are known to have activity as free radical scavenging at extract level but have not been tested at the fraction level. This study aims to determine the free radical scavenging activity of the green gedi leaf fractions in counteraction DPPH (1,1-diphenil-2-picrylhydarzyl) free radical. Extraction was done by maceration method using ethanol solvent. The preliminary test of free radical scavenging was carried out by thin layer chromatography (TLC) using the stationary phase of silica gel F254 with the mobile phase of n-hexane : chloroform (1:2) and sprayed with DPPH 0,08 mM. Then it was fractionated using vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) with the mobile phase based on its polarity, such as combination of n-hexane and ethyl acetate. Each fraction obtained was tested for free radical scavenging activity showed whitish yellow patches on a purple background, which indicates that extracts have free radical scavenging activity. The spectrophotometer measurement results showed that each leaf of green gedi leaves had weak free radical scavenging activity, but still was a free radical scavenger, ie fraction I had an IC50 value of 169,69 μg/mL; fraction II was 826,52 μg/mL; fraction III was 311,13 μg/mL; and fraction IV was 246,80 μg/mL. Fraction V has an IC50 value of 2294,64 μg/mL, this is indicates that the fraction V has no activity as a free radical scavenging compound, because it has very large IC50 value. While vitamin C as a comparison has very strong free radical scavenging activity with IC50 of 3,22 μg/mL. Keywords: Fraction, Extract, Abelmoschus manihot L., DPPH Method. ABSTRAK Gedi (Abelmoschus manihot L.) merupakan tumbuhan tropis family malvaceae, secara tradisional telah lama dikenal di Sulawesi Utara sebagai tanaman sayuran. Daun gedi hijau yang berasal dari Bitung diketahui memiliki aktivitas sebagai penangkap radikal bebas pada tingkat ekstrak namun belum diuji pada tingkat fraksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas penangkap radikal bebas dari fraksi-fraksi daun gedi hijau dalam menangkal radikal bebas DPPH (1,1-diphenil-2-picrylhydarzyl). Ekstraksi dilakukan dengan metode maserasi menggunakan pelarut etanol. Uji pendahuluan aktivitas penangkap radikal bebas dilakukan secara kromatografi lapis tipis (KLT) menggunakan fase diam silika gel F254 dengan fase gerak n-heksana : kloroform (1:2) dan disemprot DPPH 0,08mM. Kemudian difraksinasi menggunakan kromatografi cair vakum (KCV) dengan fase gerak berdasarkan kepolarannya, yakni kombinasi n-heksana dan etil asetat. Hasil uji pendahuluan aktivitas penangkap radikal bebas secara KLT menunjukkan adanya bercak kuning keputih-putihan dengan latar belakang ungu, yang menandakan ekstrak memiliki aktivitas penangkap radikal bebas. Hasil pengukuran secara spektrofotometer menunjukkan bahwa setiap fraksi daun gedi hijau memiliki aktivitas penangkap radikal bebas yang lemah, namun tetap bersifat sebagai penangkap radikal bebas, yakni fraksi I memiliki nilai IC50 sebesar 169,69 μg/mL; fraksi II 826,52 μg/mL; fraksi III 311,13 μg/mL; dan fraksi IV 246,80 μg/mL. Fraksi V memiliki nilai IC50 sebesar 2294,64 μg/mL, menandakan fraksi V tidak memiliki aktivitas sebagai senyawa penangkap radikal bebas, karena memiliki nilai IC50 yang sangat besar. Sedangkan vitamin C sebagai pembanding memiliki aktivitas penangkap radikal bebas sangat kuat dengan IC50 sebesar 3,22 μg/mL.Kata Kunci : Fraksi, Ekstrak, Abelmoschus manihot L., Metode DPPH.

Akway (Drimys piperita Hook. f) merupakan tumbuhan yang termasuk dalam kelompok tumbuhan berkayu, berdaun tebal aromatik dan termasuk kerabat winteraceae. Tumbuhan ini dimanfaatkan sebagai obat tradisional untuk mengobati malaria dan untuk meningkatkan vitalitas tubuh. Beberapa penelitian kandungan fitokimia ekstrak akway telah dilakukan untuk mengetahui potensi bioaktivitas akway. Ekstrak kulit kayu akway dilaporkan mengandung kelompok senyawa alkaloid, saponin, tanin, flavonoid, terpenoid dan glikosida. Minyak atsiri kulit kayu akway mengandung linalool, β-pinen, α-pinen, nerolidol dan terpineol. Senyawa-senyawa tersebut dilaporkan memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan kapasitas antioksidan ekstrak kulit kayu akway secara in vitro dan vitamin C sebagai kontrol positif. Pengujian kapasitas antioksidan yang dilakukan meliputi kandungan total fenol dengan metode Folin-Ciocalteu, kandungan flavonoid dengan metode aluminum klorida, kapasitas penangkalan radikal bebas menggunakan metode DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl)-radical scavenging assay dan daya reduksi menggunakan metode reduksi Fe+3 menjadi Fe+2. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak metanol memiliki kandungan total fenol dan flavonoid yang tertinggi dibandingkan dengan ekstrak etanol dan etilasetat. Kandungan total fenol dan flavonoid ekstrak metanol masing-masing sebesar 18,22 dan 14,32%. Ekstrak metanol dan vitamin C memiliki kapasitas menangkal radikal bebas DPPH dan daya reduksi yang paling tinggi kemudian diikuti ekstrak etanol dan etilasetat. Kemampuan menangkal radikal bebas ekstrak metanol dan vitamin C pada konsentrasi 200 µg/ml masing-masing sebesar 90% dan 88,31% sedangkan daya reduksi masing-masing sebesar 0,54 dan 0,62. Kesimpulannya, ekstrak metanol memiliki kapasitas antioksidan yang paling tinggi dibandingkan dengan ekstrak etanol dan etilasetat. Abstract Free Radical Scavenging Activity and Reducing Power of Akway (Drimys piperita Hook. f.) Bark ExtractsAkway (Drimys piperita Hook. f) was a woody and aromatic plant of winteraceae. This plant was used as traditional medical plant to heal malaria and to enhance vitality of body. Some studies were done to know bioactivity potency of akway extracts. D. piperita bark extract contains alkaloid, saponin, tanin, flavonoid, terpenoid and glycoside. The bark essential oil of the plant consists of lynalool, β-pinene, α-pinene, nerolidol and terpineol. Those compounds were exhibited high antioxidant activity. The objectives of this research were to determine total phenol and flavonoid of the extracts and its antioxidant capacity which was compared to antioxidant capacity of vitamin C. The assay of antioxidant capacity comprised of total phenol and flavonoid content, free radical scavenging activity, and reducing power. Total phenol and flavonoid was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride method, respectively while determination of free radical scavenging activity and reducing power using DPPH-radical scavenging and Fe+3 to Fe+2 reducing power method, respectively. The results indicated that methanol extract had the highest in total phenol and flavonoid content. Total phenol and flavonoid of methanol extract were 18.22% and 14.32%, respectively. Vitamin C and methanol extract had the highest DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl)-radical scavenging activity and reducing power, respectively. DPPH-radical scavenging activity of methanol extract and vitamin C in concentration of 200 µg/ml were 90% and 88.31%, respectively while its reducing power were 0.54 and 0,62, respectively. As conclusion, methanol extract had the highest antioxidant activity compared with ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts.
