The results showed that the methanol extract of I. duffii leaf possessed relatively high antioxidant activity (OD0,5 = ± μg/mL) compared to that of the standard, trolox (OD0,5= ± μg/mL). The anti- inflammatory effect using bovine serum albumin denaturation test showed that the activity of the methanol extract of I. duffii leaf (EC50= ± μg/mL) was comparable to that of the reference drug, diclofenac sodium (EC50= ± µg/mL). To evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of the methanol extract of I. duffii leaf, the liver damage was induced in mice given with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) mixed in olive oil (1:4) at a dose of mL/kg body weight/day. As a control, the standard hepatoprotective agent, silymarin, was used at the dose of 16 mg/kg body weight for 4 consecutive weeks. I. duffii leaf extract was given at three different doses 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight. The results showed the effective dose-dependent reduction of transaminase enzyme (ALT and AST) levels in sera. In addition, I. duffii leaf extract also improved the oxidative stress status of the liver through .
