This research was conducted to discover and evaluate the possible biological properties of the
medicinal plant stem called Aporosa wallichii, which belongs to the family Phyllanthaceae. To
comply with the research findings, several experiments were conducted, such as the antioxidant
properties test, which includes the DPPH test and the total phenolic content test, the brine shrimp
lethality test, the thrombolytic properties test and the antimicrobial properties test. After
completing these mentioned experiments from several observations it was found that, this plant
stem showed a good level of antioxidant property, a moderate level of thrombolytic property and
a significant level of cytotoxicity property. In addition, the antimicrobial properties test did not
show the desired result for this plant stem, indicating that it may not contain any antimicrobial
properties. However, this research is initial to find the pharmacological property of this plant
stem. Finally, based on this research, it can be declared that this Aporosa wallichii plant stem can
provide a good impact on the world of medicine and the progress of global healthcare.
