Antioxidant activity of Tinospora crispa extracted with different ethanol solvents

Introduction: Tinospora crispa (T. crispa) is an herbaceous plant that commonly grows wild in tropical regions of South East Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. In this well known to be used a traditional medicine treat gout, diabetes, hypertension, rheumatic, fever, appetite stimulant. Researches worldwide indicate T. poses several pharmacological properties. One those the antioxidant activity, acting free radical scavenger. The objective study was determine antioxidative properties compare different ethanol solvents for extraction. Methods: amount 300 g powder extracted using 70%, 80%, 96% ethanol. spectrophotometry method assess total flavonoid polyphenol contents athe s DPPH assay. Results: 80% had highest content 0.090% ± [0.453%], while indicated lowest 0.038% [3.090%]. case phenolic content, showed result 0.521 [11.341%]. However, value relatively comparable with other solvents. activity shown by 6.46 mg [3.04 mg]. Conclusion: Despite low concentration, successfully determined from Based on antioxidants concentration most ideal solvent extraction crispa.
