The study of potential bioactive compound of Enhalus acoroides (L.F) royle as antioxidant agent from Pabisi Island, Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract Enhalus acoroides (L.f.), The family Hydrocharitaceae contains the monotypic marine genus Enhalus, Royle, which is widely spread in the intertidal zone of Pabisi Island, Indonesia. The local people have long used E. acoroides for baking and pharmaceutical products. The aim of this study is to identify potential antioxidant compound of E. acoroides from Pabisi Island, Indonesia. The sample of E. acoroides was gathered from Pabisi Island, Indonesia. The research methodologies used in these studies include phytochemical analysis and antioxidant tests. The research result showed the highest yield from n-hexane extracts as much as 1.39%. The lowest yield from ethanol extract as much as 0.470%. The phytochemical study revealed triterpenoid and phenol components. The ethanol extract had an antioxidant activity of 65.40 µmol trolox/g. Furthermore, the ethyl acetate extract yielded 21.41 µ mo l trolox/g extract, while the n-hexane extract produced 22.11 µmol trolox/g. FRAP analysis shows ethanol extract (679.50 µmol trolox/g extract), ethyl acetate (589.50 µmol trolox/g extract), and n-hexane extract (346.50 µmol trolox/g extract). Thus, the identiWication of bioactive compounds plays a vital function in nature.
