Alphitonia, a genus of the Rhamnaceae family with, approximately 20 species, are available in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, Polynesia and Oceania. 15,16 This genus is mainly used in traditional medicine by the inhabitants of Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti, Vanuatu, Tonga, Northern Australia and Brunei Darussalam for coughs, constipation, headaches, stomachaches, menstrual pain, prolapsed rectum after postpartum woman, facilitate childbirth, swelling, fever, earache, cancer, skin diseases (eczema, ecthyma, pityriasis), inflammation, rheumatic pains, ulcer, gastrointestinal and urogenital disorders. 16-19 Isolation of a range of bioactive compounds were reported from this genus having antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antiulcer, antityrosinase, inhibitions of ABSTRACT Phytochemical screening of Alphitonia philippinensis extracts revealed the presence of cardiac glycosides, tannins, saponins and steroids in different plant parts. Total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total flavonol content (TFlC) were measured using spectrophotometric methods where gallic acid and quercetin were the standards. Antioxidant activity of extracts was assessed using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azino-bis(3ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), free radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays using ascorbic acid and trolox were used as standards. Among the four different crude methanol extracts studies, leaves showed highest antioxidant capacity. EC 50 values of the leaves extract from DPPH and ABTS method found 32 and 45 µg/mL respectively. The higher antioxidant activity of the leaves extract could be correlated with the presence of higher total phenolic content, total flavonoid, and total flavonol contents. According to antioxidant contents and assay results leaves extract possesses highest antioxidant property following fruits, barks and stems.
