Abstract

Parijoto fruit (Medinilla speciosa) contains flavonoid compounds that are potentially immunomodulators because they increase macrophage phagocytosis activity and lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. This study aims to determine the phytochemical compound content of parijoto fruit and its potential as an immunomodulatory agent in vivo. Parijoto fruit was extracted using 70% ethanol solvent. The ethanol extract of parijoto fruit (EEPF) was qualitatively identified by phytochemical screening. The immunomodulatory activity test in vivo was conducted using BALB/c mice, which were separated into five groups: untreated, Phyllanthus niruri L. (PN) extract (positive control), and test groups (125mg/KgBW; 250mg/KgBW and 375mg/KgBW). The treatment duration was 18 days, with the induction of the hepatitis B vaccine on days 7 and 14. An immunomodulatory activity test was conducted on the 19th day, which included a macrophage phagocytosis activity test, lymphocyte proliferation, and measurement of IgG levels. The identification results showed that EEPF contains flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. Macrophage phagocytosis activity showed that EEPF increased macrophages' phagocytosis capacity (PC) and phagocytosis index (PI). EEPF increased lymphocyte proliferation activity and IgG levels, significantly different from control and not substantially different from positive control. Collectively, EEPF increases immunomodulatory activity in vivo.

Abstract

Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash is one of the plants with high flavonoid compound content with antioxidant activity. This study aims to formulate a spray gel of the root of Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash infusion determines UV protection and observes the level of irritation caused by the application.  This study used formulas at variations concentrations FI 1%, FII 5%, and FIII 10%. The formulas observed flavonoid content, sun protection factor (SPF) value, and irritation index. Flavonoid content was tested using the Willstatter method. The SPF value was determined in vitro using UV-spectrophotometer, while the irritation test was conducted using the Draize test method. The SPF value test results showed that Formula 0 (F0), FI, FII, FIII, and the commercial preparation had SPF values of 0.355, 2.856, 5.324, 6.634, and 13.438, respectively. Meanwhile, the irritation test obtained an irritation infection of 0.3 in the commercial preparation and 0.6 in F3. Therefore, FII has the potential to be UV-protected and have a minimal irritating effect.
