Abstract

This research was conducted to discover and evaluate the possible biological properties of the medicinal plant stem called Aporosa wallichii, which belongs to the family Phyllanthaceae. To comply with the research findings, several experiments were conducted, such as the antioxidant properties test, which includes the DPPH test and the total phenolic content test, the brine shrimp lethality test, the thrombolytic properties test and the antimicrobial properties test. After completing these mentioned experiments from several observations it was found that, this plant stem showed a good level of antioxidant property, a moderate level of thrombolytic property and a significant level of cytotoxicity property. In addition, the antimicrobial properties test did not show the desired result for this plant stem, indicating that it may not contain any antimicrobial properties. However, this research is initial to find the pharmacological property of this plant stem. Finally, based on this research, it can be declared that this Aporosa wallichii plant stem can provide a good impact on the world of medicine and the progress of global healthcare.
