Investigation of biological activities of Carica Papaya L. leaf extract
Abstract
Abstract In this study, papaya leaf extract (PLE) was obtained using the maceration method in ethanol. This extract exhibited antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 761.86 ± 28.77 μg/mL and moderate inhibition against the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococus aureus . Additionally, the extract demonstrated inhibitory effects against the fungi Colletotrichum gloeopsoriodes and Fusarium solani with efficacy rates of 18.37% and 22.34%, respectively. Notably, this extract showed up to 100% diamondback moths larvicidal Plutella xylostella effect at a concentration of 70 mg/mL within 24 hours.
