Abstract:
Stenochlaena palustris is one of the ferns that are often found in peat, and it has
medicinal properties, including fever, immunostimulant, diarrhea, and antiaging.
Previous research has reported that this plant has antidiabetics, antioxidants and
antimicrobials. However, the antidiabetic activity of this plant is still rarely
studied. Test antidiabetic activity using the nethod of inhibition of α-glucosidase
enzyme in vitro. The results showed IC50 n-hexane extract values >500 μg/mL,
dichloromethane extract 406.26 μg/mL, ethyl acetate extract >500 μg/mL, and
water extract >500 μg/mL. Based on IC50 values obtained dichloromethane extract
has the potential to inhibition α-glucosidase enzyme.
