microalga with nutritional and therapeutic applications due to its richness in nutrients and bioactive elements The uses of Arthrospira platensis contain: anti-oxidant, anti-cancer and anti-hyperalgesic effects This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Arthrospira platensis microalgae extraction The results showed that the extraction efficiency of different solvents was different, using the 96% ethanol solvent resulted in the highest extracting efficiency (1.6%) and the total extract is 43.55 ml In the method DPPH, the antioxidant activity of extract ethyl acetate samples was the highest at a concentration of 500 (µg/ ml) with a percentage of antioxidant capacity of 61.57% and in the MDA method is shown extracts with ethyl acetate showed the strongest antioxidant capacity (53.06%) with 500 (µg/ ml) In addition, the Arthrospira platensis extraction using ethanol (96% ethanol) give significantly higher levels of inhibitory effect on two human cancer cell lines than the Arthrospira platensis extraction using ethyl acetate At a concentration of 100 μg/ml, the Arthrospira platensis extracts with ethanol (96% ethanol) can inhibit and kill 94.21% of breast cancer cells and 96.57% of liver cancer cells ix results to plot the correlation of concentration and % of antioxidant activity of extracts (Figure 4.4) The relationship between concentration

the extract of water with a test concentration of 400 (µg/ml) has not reached the rate of 50% antioxidant activity, so EC 50 concentration has not been calculated so it shows the lowest resistance to oxidation The DPPH free radical capture activity among extracts has statistically significant differences with P-value = 0.05 After adding DPPH to samples, incubate in the dark for 30 minutes The reaction color is shown in Figure 4.5 The color of the sample changes from purple to red to orange and fades until the reaction is completed The lighter the color of the test specimen after the end of the reaction, the higher the antioxidant activity Trolox as a reference material Ethanol 96% H2O Ethyl acetate Trolox DPPH Figure 4.5 Image of color change of sample in DPPH test The results of Table 4.4, Figure 4.4 and the conclusion in the test samples, the antioxidant activity of extract ethyl acetate samples was the highest at a 34 concentration of 400 (µg/ ml) with a percentage of antioxidant capacity of 61.57% 4.4 Evaluate the antioxidant ability of microalgae extracts by the MDA method We weight, the mixed samples into concentrations (µg / ml): 10,000, 2,000, 400, 80, 16 Then, we add 0.1

100°C for 15 minutes, cool, and conduct measurements at λ = 532 nm Trolox is used as reference material The results of the determination of antioxidant activity through inhibition of membrane lipid

activity of the research samples shows that the concentration of substances in the sample increases gradually, the ability to inhibit MDA increases This demonstrates that the oxidation resistance of the extractants increases proportionally with the increasing concentration of the test sample in the test tube, with a sample concentration of 0.8 (µg/ ml) a very low % inhibition of MDA, a sample extracted with ethyl acetate, the% inhibition rate of MDA was (1.42%), and the sample with water was% inhibited MDA is (1.17%), for samples extracted with ethanol the inhibitory% of MDA is (1.35%) The concentration of the test sample increased to 20 (µg / ml), all three samples showed the ability to inhibit MDA of samples extracted with ethyl acetate, samples extracted with water, samples extracted with ethanol, the % inhibition rates of MDA respectively is 9.12; 6.45; 7.75 The highest test sample concentration of 500 (µg / ml), the% MDA inhibition rates of the three test samples, respectively, were samples extracted with ethyl acetate (53.06%), water-extracted samples (31.04%), and samples extracted with ethanol (35.53%) The samples extracted with ethyl acetate showed the highest inhibition of lipid peroxidation of the three samples with IC50 = 268.5 (µg / ml) The two samples extracted with water and ethanol have not reached 50% inhibition of MDA Therefore, the IC50 value has not been
