Therefore, this study was designed to examine the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of the seeds using the DPPH method. Furthermore, a GC-MS analysis will be carried out to determine the chemical compounds that play a role in the bioactivity. Based on the absorbance of DPPH in three repetitions, the average value of DPPH inhibition by 95% ethanol extract of bitter melon seeds was 60.45%, in which classified as a good radical absorbance. The GC-MS results showed that the ethanol extract of bitter melon seeds contained ten chemical compounds consisting of sesquiterpenes, fatty acids, and alkanes, which affecting the radical absorbance of M. charantia extract. </em></p>}, number={1}, journal={Jurnal Ilmiah Medicamento}, author={Ratnasari, Baiq Desy and Aini, Diah Miftahul and Yamin, Imam Syahputra and Antari, Gladeva Yugi}, year={2022}, month={Mar.}, pages={56–62} }
