Most of Calophyllum genus have been researched and proven as medicinal plants. Calophyllumàmacrophyllum Scheff is an Indonesia original plant growing on Sumatera and we found in Kerinci mount.àOne flavanal has been isolated from ethyl acetate fraction from the stem-bark of Calophyllum macrophyllumScheff. The compound is 5,7,2âÂÂ,5âÂÂ- tetrahedrons flavan-3-ol, brown crystal with melting point 300oC. Theàcompound was extracted using maceration technique, then fractionated using chromatography and purifiedàby crystallization using two solvents. Molecule structure was determined using physical data andàspectroscopy methods including UV, IR and 1H and 13C-NMR. Ethyl acetate fraction and isolate wereàassayed for inhibitory activity on -glycosidase enzyme. The potential inhibition effect is got each otheràwith IC50 26,198 =g/ml and 12,19 =g/ml.
