Abstract

Background: Cancer is one of the health problems in the world with the number of sufferers that continues to increase. Based on IARC (International Agencies for Research on Cancer) during 2008 there were 12.7 million cancer cases and 7.6 million cancer deaths. The role of free radicals against damage to human body tissue is known to be a fairly high causative factor. If the number of free radicals increased, the body’s defense system against free radicals becomes inadequate. One of the plants that functions as an antioxidant and also as an anti-cancer originates from marine algae, it is green algae (Ulva lactuca L.). Green algae showed the presence of antioxidant compounds that were analyzed qualitatively using thin-layer and quantitative chromatography with DPPH using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer. In the liver of CCl4-induced mice, ethanol extracts of green algae have antioxidant activity by reducing levels of malonylaldehyde (MDA) and increasing the activity of the enzyme superoxid dismutase (SOD). Objective: Conduct Antioxidant Activity Tests on the ethanolic extracts of green algae (Ulva lactuca Linn) obtained from Sepanjang Beach, Gunung Kidul Method: Antioxidant Activity Test was carried out by DPPH (1,1diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) method Results: IC50 value of Ethanolic Extracts of Green Algae is 17,25 µg/ml and Ascorbic acid is 28,9 µg/ml Conclusions: Antioxidant activity of the ethanolic extract of green algae is better compared to Ascorbic acid Keywords: Green Algae, Antioxidant Activity
