Abstract : Alamanda (Allamanda cathartica L.) included in Apocynaceae family. Empirically, people use alamanda leaf as
anticancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical content and activity level of antioxidant compounds
from alamanda leaf extract (Allamanda cathartica L.) based on solvent variation. Extraction method used was maceration
using n-hexane, ethanol and water solvent, and for infuse using water. Determination of antioxidant compound activity from
alamanda leaf extract (Allamanda cathartica L.) using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil) method. The results showed
that alamanda leaf extract was positively contains Alkaloid, flavonoid, phenolic and saponin compounds. While the
antioxidant activity of alamanda leaf (Alamandachatartica L) in water extract had strong antioxidant activity with IC50 value
of 44,899 μg/mL, ethanol extract had weak antioxidant activity with IC50 value of 106,352 μg/mL, and for n-Hexane extract
had very weak antioxidant activity with IC50 value of 164,063 μg/mL. while the quersetin reference standard has an IC50 of
9,112 μg/mL indicating strong antioxidant activity.
