Crassocephalum crepidioides (sintrong) plant has secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and tannins which are thought to have antioxidant and sunscreen activities. Antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of the leaves and flowers of Sintrong was measured using Uv-Vis spectrophotometry obtained IC50 values of 23.558 ppm (flowers) and 0.62 ppm (leaves), and categories as very strong antioxidants. Based on %Te and %Tp values, ethanol extract of sintrong leaves was categories as sunblock, while ethanol extract of flowers of sintrong was categories as Fast Tanning (for %Te) and for %Tp was categories as suntan standard (for 200-300 ppm) and Extra Protection (for 400-600 ppm). The SPF of the ethanol extract of the leaves and flowers of sintrong is categories as minimal protection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
