The chemical contents of the &lt;em&gt;Phyllanthus&lt;/em&gt; sp. were presented as total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC).&lt;strong&gt; Statistical analysis used:&lt;/strong&gt; All statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS for Windows, Version 22. All data were presented as mean &amp;plusmn; standard deviation. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Our result showed that &lt;em&gt;P. urinaria &lt;/em&gt;showed higher TPC, followed by &lt;em&gt;P. debilis &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;P. niruri &lt;/em&gt;for both methanol and water extracts. Similarly, &lt;em&gt;P. urinaria&lt;/em&gt; showed higher TFC than &lt;em&gt;P. debilis &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;P. niruri.&lt;/em&gt; The antioxidant activity by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrydydrazyl (DPPH) assay showed EC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of samples ranged from 15.8 to 29.3 &amp;mu;g/mL for methanol extract and 33.5 to 73.0 &amp;mu;g/mL for water extract. The 2,20- azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline- 6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) assay showed EC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; ranges which were from 11.2 to 26.0 &amp;mu;g/mL for methanol extract and 13.5 to 37.4 &amp;mu;g/mL for water extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Methanol extract showed higher TPC, TFC value and lower EC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values for antioxidant activities when compared to water extract. In both methanol and water extracts, &lt;em&gt;P. urinaria&lt;/em&gt; had higher TPC and TFC value and lower EC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; for both DPPH and ABTS assay followed by &lt;em&gt;P. debilis &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; P. niruri.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">677</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Siti Nur Dalila Mohd Zain, Wan Adnan Wan Omar &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
