The ethanol extract of rambutan seeds were prepared by maseration method and the fractions (nhexane, ethyl acetate, buthanol and water) by separation of extract based on the polarity. The antioxidant activity was determined by using superoxide dismutase value (SOD), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity,. Invite you to consult the documentation. | S.

Methods: The ethanol extract of rambutan seeds were prepared by maseration method and the fractions (nhexane, ethyl acetate, buthanol and water) by separation of extract based on the polarity. The antioxidant activity was determined by using superoxide dismutase value (SOD), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. The hypoglycemic activity was determined by using inhibition of α-glucosidase test. The DPPH scavenging and hypoglycemic activities were analized by median of Inhibitory Concentration (IC-50). Result : The highest SOD activity showed that ethyl acetate and aqueous fraction of NLS were µg/ml and µg/ml. Meanwhile DPPH assay showed that both NLS extract and fractions had low DPPH scavenging activity. Hypoglycemic activity showed that extract of NLS had highest activity as α-glucosidase inhibitor. Conclusion : NLS extract and fractions have high SOD antioxidant value but low DPPH scavenging activity and can be used as potential hypoglycemic agent. 1. Introduction Diabetes .
