Methanol extract was partitioned by using ethyl acetate and n-butanol. Antioxidant activity was tested by reduction of DPPH radical method and inhibition of the xanthine oxidase. The results show n-butanol extract has an antioxidant activity with reduction of DPPH radical and inhibition of the enzyme xanthine oxidase with IC50 value respectively 7.42 and 0.15 µg/mL.
