Abstract

The aim of this study is to isolate phenolic compounds from the ethyl acetate fraction of the leaves of V. pinnata Linn, which have antioxidant properties, guided by a TLC-Bioautography (Thin-layer chromatography) with a reagent of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH). The TLC-antioxidant bioautography technique has several advantages. It does not require a long time in testing, the sample used is small, and it can potentially obtain promising antioxidant-positive compounds.The isolation process led to obtaining two phenolic compounds. The UV-Vis, FTIR, and NMR spectrum analysis showed that the compounds were (1) p-hydroxybenzoate and (2) luteolin. Further antioxidant evaluation by DPPH assay showed a potential radical scavenging DPPH of luteolin (2) with an IC50 of 1.56±0.18 µg/mL.
