SPiM=S. pinnata methanol extract, SPiA=S. pinnata acetone extract, SPiH=S. pinnata hexane extract, TCiM=T. ciliata methanol extract, TCiA=T. ciliata acetone extract, and TCiH=T. ciliata hexane extract. Superscripts represent significant differences among the extracts. Extracts with the same superscript were not significantly different while those with different superscripts showed significance of p <0,05. The asterisk represents significant difference between the extracts and the positive control. The p value significance was represented by an asterisk () for p <0,05, two asterisks () for p <0,01, and three asterisks () for p <0,001.
