Abstract
The rising incidence of oxidative stress-associated diseases such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases in the last decades makes exploration of new natural antioxidant compounds very crucial. Mangrove plants stand out among other natural sources due to the distinctive secondary metabolites they produce to adapt to their extreme habitat. Numerous studies have been done to explore the pharmaceutical activities of mangrove plants, yet little is known about the antioxidant properties of mangroves in Bali, Indonesia. This research aims to discover the antioxidant activity and phytochemical content of the methanol extract of Sonneratia alba mangrove leaves collected from Ngurah Rai Mangrove Forest, Bali, Indonesia. This great activity is supported by its phytochemical content, including phenols, flavonoids, tannins, and steroids, with their notable antioxidant activities. Moreover, a compound with well-known antioxidant capacity, namely 1,2,3-benzenetriol, was also detected in the GC-MS analysis. In conclusion, the methanol extract of S. alba mangrove leaves displays promising potential to be further explored and developed as a new natural antioxidant source.
