Abstract

Red seaweed (Eucheuma spinosum) is one of the marine biological resources containing various secondary metabolites, including alkaloids which possess important biological activities. Differences in ethanol concentration may affect the amount of alkaloid compounds extracted. This study aimed to compare the alkaloid content of 70% ethanol extract and 96% ethanol extract of red seaweed (Eucheuma spinosum) obtained by maceration using the UV-Visible spectrophotometric method. This research was conducted experimentally in the laboratory using the maceration extraction method with 70% and 96% ethanol solvents. Qualitative identification of alkaloids was performed using Mayer, Wagner, and Dragendorff reagents, while quantitative determination was carried out using UV-Visible spectrophotometry with caffeine as the standard at a maximum wavelength of 275 nm. Phytochemical screening results indicated that both 70% and 96% ethanol extracts were positive for alkaloid compounds. The extraction yield of the 70% ethanol extract was 22.945%, whereas the 96% ethanol extract yielded 12.45%. The results of alkaloid determination showed that the 70% ethanol extract contained an average alkaloid level of 5.5 ± 0.22 mg QCE/g, while the 96% ethanol extract contained 5.3 ± 0.10 mg QCE/g. It can be concluded that the 70% ethanol extract produced a slightly higher alkaloid content than the 96% ethanol extract of red seaweed (Eucheuma spinosum).

Abstract

Irrational use of antibiotics in the community remains a health problem that can increase the risk of antimicrobial resistance, Low levels of public knowledge are suspected to influence the formation of inappropriate attitudes toward antibiotic use. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and community attitudes toward antibiotic use in Bumi Ayu Village, Bengkulu City. This study used a quantitative method with an observational analytic design through a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 110 respondents selected using a proportional cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability, with Cronbach’s Alpha values of 0.702 for the knowledge variable and 0.786 for the attitude variable. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most respondents had low knowledge levels, with 50 respondents (45.5%), and poor attitudes, with 50 respondents (45.5%). The bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and community attitudes toward antibiotic use, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Respondents with better knowledge tended to have better attitudes toward antibiotic use. Therefore, continuous health education through health workers and information media is needed to improve public understanding of rational antibiotic use in order to prevent antimicrobial resistance.
