The potential can be partially attributed to the antioxidant activity of existing plants. The purpose of this study was to test the antioxidant activity of the leaf extract of kayu bulan (Pisonia alba). The method of extraction in this study using maceration with ethanol 80%, 60% and 40%. The extract obtained is determined phenolic content and antioxidant activity assay with DPPH (1,1-difenil-2-pikrilhidrazil). Based on the results obtained in leaf of kayu bulan has a total phenolic content of 28.67 (mg / kg), 16:22 (mg / kg), 12:45 (mg / kg) to extract 80%, 60% and 40%. Based on the results of the calculation of IC50 showed that extract 80%, 60%, 40% had IC 50 values ​​respectively are 236.50 ppm, 478.12 ppm and 544.44 ppm.
