Preliminary phytochemical investigation of antimicrobial and antioxidative secondary metabolites from the stem extract of Leea indica (memali) / Muhamad Azfar Abd Jalil
Leea indica is one of the herbal medicine that widely used by the locals in Malaysia. The current study focused on antibacterial and antioxidant properties from three different stem extracts of L. indica. Disk diffusion and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) bioautography were used to determine the ant...

Leea indica is one of the herbal medicine that widely used by the locals in Malaysia. The current study focused on antibacterial and antioxidant properties from three different stem extracts of L. indica. Disk diffusion and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) bioautography were used to determine the antibacterial activity while radical scavenging method by using I, l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) solution was applied for screening of antioxidant compound on TLC and semi-quantitative dot blot assay. The phytochemicals screening showed negative result for alkaloids test but positive results for other compounds such as glycosides, tannins, saponins, and steroids. The extracts that were separated by using TLC method were screened for phytochemicals but only methanol (MeOH) extract showed the presence of phenolic compound. The disk diffusion assay showed that dichloromethane (DCM) extract have the strongest antibacterial activity on both Staphyloccous aureus and Staphyloccocus epidermidis with 6.3 mm and 7.0 mm average inhibition zone respectively at 50 mg/mL extract compare to petroleum ether (PE) and MeOH extracts.
