<br/><br/> This study determined the phytochemical constituents, antioxidant property, and<br/>toxicity of Terminalia microcarpa (kalumpit) seed extracts obtained using two different<br/>solvents: ethanol and ethyl acetate. The study employed the Brine Shrimp Toxicity Test to<br/>measure the toxicity and the Folin-Ciocalteu Assay to determine the total phenolics content<br/>indicative of antioxidant potential. Results demonstrated that both solvents extracted<br/>bioactive compounds exhibiting a dose-dependent toxicity. Ethyl acetate extracts revealed<br/>more pronounced toxicity than ethanol extracts. However, ethanol was significantly more<br/>efficient in extracting antioxidant compounds, with an average total phenolics content of<br/>315.67 mg GAE per mL, compared to 27.67 mg GAE per mL for ethyl acetate. The study<br/>concludes that ethanol is a more suitable solvent for extracting antioxidants from<br/>Terminalia microcarpa seeds due to its higher yield and lesser toxicity. It is advisable to<br/>conduct further research to identify the specific bioactive compounds present in the<br/>extracts, establish their correlation with the observed properties, and evaluate the safety of<br/>these extracts for potential applications.<br/>Keyword: Terminalia microcarpa, Phytochemical screening, Antioxidant activity, and<br/>Cytotoxicity
