ABSTRACT
Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) is a plants found in many tropical countries, contains
chemical components such as alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins and tannins.
Neem is used for antiinflamations, antioxidants, insecticides, fungicides and
antibacterials. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of neem
leaves fraction by ABTS method. The extraction of neem leaves was conducted by
maceration using 70% of ethanol, then partitioned by liquid-liquid extraction method using
four different solvents are n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-buthanol and water. Furthermore,
the partition result were tested for their antioxidant activity using ABTS method and the
absorbance was measured using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer with a wavelength of 754
nm. The result of study showed that n-hexane fraction with IC 50 200,46 µg/mL, ethyl
acetate fraction with IC50 59,03 µg/mL, n-buthanol fraction with IC50 55,45 µg/mL, and
ethanol-water fraction with IC50 62,32 µg/mL. This result showed that n-buthanol fraction
provide the optimals antioxidant activity with smallest IC 50, although ethyl acetate fraction,
n-buthanol fraction and ethanol-water fraction was categorized as strong antioxidant.
