Vitaria elongata is an epiphytic plant in the Pteridaceae family, which usually grows on palms and wetlands. Other species of this genus have been reported to have cytotoxic and antioxidant activity, but their biological activity was not reported in this species. Therefore, the research aimed at antioxidant activity from V. elongata extracts. The extract of methanol was obtained by maceration (3 x 24 h). The sample was subsequently brought with partition containing various organic solvents ( n -hexane, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate). The n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate, and water extracts tested for antioxidant activity were performed using 1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhidrazil (DPPH) methods. The IC50 value of dichloromethan, ethyl acetate and water extract was 472,35 μg / mL, 94,72 μg / mL, and 13,63 μg / mL, while there was no antioxidant activity of the n-hexane extract and component VE-DCM-01, IC50 > 1,00 μg / mL.
