The local people use boiled water from bark of M. rufocostata to treat diabetes and minor stoke. This study aims to identify compounds and determine the antioxidant activity of leaves and bark ethanol extract M. rufocostata qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the identification show that ethanol extract of M. rufocostata contains  tannins, phenols, flavonoids and saponins. The result of the qualitative antioxidant activity test shows that the ethanol extract of M. rufocostata has an antioksidan activity. The result of quantitative antioxidant acivity test reveals that the leave and bark have IC50 value of 7,614 ppm and 8,254 ppm. Based on this research, it can be concluded that ethanol extract of M. rufocostata from Hulu Sungai Tengah District contains various secondary metabolites such as tannins, phenols, flavonoids, and saponins and have a very strong antioxidant activity.
