AKTIVITAS ANTIOKSIDAN DAN TOKSISITAS EKSTRAK AIR DAN ETANOL DAUN BENALU (Dendrophthoe pentandra L. Miq) YANG TUMBUH PADA BERBAGAI INANG
Abstract: Mistletoes are used
traditionally in Indonesiaas medicinal plant, one of this as anticancer. Cancer
isone of degenerative diseases could be triggered by toomuch free radicals in
the body, whereas antioxidantcould reduced the risk of degenerative
diseases.Mistletoes reposted content flavonoids which known have antioxidant
activity. Mistletoe potency as drugmaterial should be studied sa the
utilization ofmistletoe could be developed. Antioxidant activitytest using
"DPPH free radical scavenger" methodand toxicity test using BSLT
(Brine Shrimp LethalityTest) method had been conducted on water andethanol
extracts of mistletoe Dendropthoe pentandra(L.) Miq.) that grown on various
trees (star fruit,mango, cananga, 'duku, sour-sop, kepel, mahkotadewa, and
tea). The result showed that ethanol andwater extracte-ofD, petandra on all
host plants haveantioxidant activity (IC50 value between 6.4 - 51.8ug/mL). The
result of toxicity test showed that ethanolextract of mistletoe on cananga,
starfruit, kepel andmahkota dewa host plants have toxicity effect againstA.
salina larvae with LCso value below 1000 ug/mL,nevertheless ethanol extract on
others host plants andwater extract didn It give toxicity effect against
A.salina larvae (LC50 > 1000 ug/mL).
