Abstract

Bacopamonnieri is a plant with many benefits. B.monnierihas been known as antioxidant that is used for memory enhancer, improve learning ability and showed improvements in neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer's disease. Its ability to scavenge free radical made it so well known as antioxidant. To detect the free radicals scavenge activity by B.monnieri, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay was conducted. Moreover, additional evaluation was also conducted to determine nitric oxide scavenge activity of B.monnieri by using nitric oxide scavenging assay (NO) assay. These results demonstrated that inhibition for both free radicals and nitric oxide by B. monnieri.
