The demand for natural antioxidants is rising due to concerns over synthetic alternatives. &lt;strong&gt;Objectivity:&lt;/strong&gt; To determine the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity of &lt;em&gt;S. myrtifolium&lt;/em&gt; leaf extracts obtained with various solvents (ethanol 60, 70, 80, 96% v/v, ethyl acetate, n-hexane) and two extraction methods (maceration and ultrasonic-assisted extraction, UAE), and to assess the effects of solvent polarity and extraction method. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Leaves were extracted by maceration and UAE. TPC was measured via the Folin–Ciocalteu method (tannic acid equivalents, %) using UV–Vis spectrophotometry. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH assay (IC₅₀). Phytochemical screening was also performed. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; TPC (maceration): 60% ethanol = 18.76%, 96% ethanol = 13.64%, ethyl acetate = 8.33%, n-hexane = 0.83%. TPC (UAE): 60% ethanol = 20.02%, 96% ethanol = 14.04%, ethyl acetate = 10.13%, n-hexane = 0.92%. Solvent type/concentration and extraction method significantly affected TPC (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05). UAE 96% ethanol showed the strongest antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ ≈ 16.03 ppm), ethyl acetate had moderate activity (≈67–76 ppm), and n-hexane the weakest (≈153–163 ppm). UAE 60% ethanol had the highest TPC but not the strongest activity (IC₅₀ ≈ 88.27 ppm), suggesting antioxidant potency depends on phenolic composition. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;UAE with 60% ethanol produced the highest TPC, while UAE with 96% ethanol exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity. Further profiling is needed to clarify the phenolic composition–activity relationship.&lt;/p&gt;

The phytochemical screening of &lt;em&gt;Ruta chalepensis&lt;/em&gt; L. exhibited the presence of flavonoids. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The highest amount of the three flavonoids was found in maceration with 80% methanol.&lt;/p&gt;

Merr. (local name: tombe uwa) is a plant endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, and grows around lakes or aquatic environments where fish live. Based on phytochemical screening in previous studies, i.e. methanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction from the leaves of &lt;em&gt;Kjellbergiodendron celebicum&lt;/em&gt; (Koord.) Merr., the methanol extract gives positive results containing polyphenol compounds in the flavonoid group which have been known to have strong antioxidant and antibacterial properties. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To test the effectiveness of the comparison of the natural content in the compounds (antibacterial and antioxidant properties) and the total content of phenol in &lt;em&gt;Kjellbergiodendron celebicum &lt;/em&gt;(Koord.) Merr., which was extracted using two methods, i.e. maceration and Ultrasonic- Assisted Extraction (UAE), in fish-disease bacteria. &lt;strong&gt;Method: &lt;/strong&gt;The leaves were separated to be extracted with two different methods: maceration and Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE). Extracts were first screened qualitatively for antioxidant activity and then quantified with respect to &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;antioxidant activity using the 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and the ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Antibacterial activity was determined by the paper disc diffusion method and microdilution.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;70% Ethanol in leaves extract of &lt;em&gt;Kjellbergiodendron celebicum&lt;/em&gt; (Koord.) Merr. The extract which has the highest activity based on the DPPH test and FRAP test is the extract from UAE extraction with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 9.81512 μg/mL and ferrous equivalent antioxidant capacity (FeEAC) value of 1.661.3 μmol/gr. UAE method also has a higher potential in antibacterial activity based on the diffusion method of paper discs and microdilution with the MIC obtained as much as 390.6 μg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; the UAE extraction method is better at scanning polyphenol compounds compared to the conventional maceration extraction method. Therefore, the results of the antioxidant and antibacterial activity using the UAE method are better than the maceration method.&lt;/p&gt;

Free radicals are highly reactive and are known to damage biomolecules including lipids resulting in a myriad of pathophysiological conditions. The present investigation was carried out to screen antiradical and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity of ripe and unripe fruit of R. steudneri. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The powdered ripe and unripe fruit materials were extracted by maceration process using methanol. Antiradical activity of extracts was evaluated by DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays. Lipid peroxidation inhibition assay was carried out by estimating the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Both ripe and unripe fruit extracts were screened for the presence of phytochemicals viz. alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds, saponins, glycosides, sterols and triterpenoids by standard tests. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Preliminary phytochemical analysis indicated that both ripe and unripe fruit extracts contain saponins, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, sterols and triterpenoids. When compared to unripe fruit extract, ripe fruit extract displayed marked scavenging of DPPH and hydroxyl radicals and inhibition of lipid peroxidation as indicated by lower IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Overall, ripe fruit extract displayed marked free radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity. The presence of phenolic and flavonoid compounds in the extracts might be responsible for observed bioactivities of ripe and unripe fruit of &lt;em&gt;R. steudneri&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%">Short Communication</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">818</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Raghavendra H.L&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Prashith Kekuda T.R&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
