Study of Phytochemistry and Potential of Endophyte Fungi Extract in Avicennia marina Roots as Antioxidants Inhibiting Early Aging

The mangrove plants has long been utilized as traditional medicinal ingredients for treatments of various diseases in favour bioactive components from its secondary metabolites. Secondary metabolites mangroves could act an antioxidant to prevent oxidative stress. Mangrove may contain endophyte fungi tissues that are capable producing In theory, isolated a plant can produce similar those the original or even relatively high numbers. this research, species Avicennia marina was sampled Blanakan, Subang District, West Java. Endophyte were roots had obtained. experimental method used test activitiy using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhidrazyl) and phytochemical content, with three replicates each tests. Fungal isolates coded according distance main tree, namely STAD STAJ represents “close” “far” roots. Our results showed enviromental parameters, salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature meet quality standards life tropics. A. type substrate muddy soil pH value, which did not waters. As activity, both extracts reduce free radicals. Further determination IC50 value two endophytic values 97.8 ppm (classified strong) 822.56 very weak) radical immersion method. Phytochemical revealed fungal compounds, where flavonoids alkaloids identified isolate STAD, whereas positive tannins content.
