Abstract

Nagasari (Mesua ferrea) had been widely known for medication use in South and South East Asia. This research aimed to identify the secondary metabolites and evaluate the antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract of leaves of M. ferrea. The dried leaves of M. ferrea were extracted with ethanol by remaceration method. The antibacterial activity was analyzed with disk diffusion method against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The secondary metabolites were identified by the standard phytochemical screening method. The ethanolic extract of leaves of M. ferrea contained tannins, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Those metabolites might be responsible for its antibacterial activity against E. coli and B. subtilis.
