Soursop ( Annona muricata Linn) is one of herbal plants that are widely used as antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, insecticidal, antimalarial, anticancer, antibacterial and antioxidant. Soursop leaf has many benefits because it contains phytochemical compounds. This research aimed to identify the phytochemical compounds and antioxidant activity of soursop leaf. This research were carried out in a few steps which are extraction, evaporation, phytochemical tests and measurement of antioxidant activity. The result showed that the ethanol extract of soursop leaf was contained steroid, alkaloid, flavonoid, phenolic and saponin. The ethanol extract of soursop leaf has antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH radical with IC 50 of 141,127 μg / mL.
