Abstract

Tumbuhan pirdot (Saurauia vulcani Korth.) merupakan tanaman endemik yang banyak tumbuh di daerah Sumatera Utara yang memiliki berbagai manfaat khususnya sebagai alternatif obat tradisional, tetapi belum banyak diteliti dalam skala laboratorium. Riset ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh nanoemulsi esktrak daun pirdot terhadap aktivitas antidiabetes. Nanoemulsi dibuat menggunakan virgin coconut oil sebagai fase minyak, tween 80 sebagai surfaktan, PEG 400 sebagai kosurfaktan, dan akuades sebagai fase air dengan massa ekstrak daun pirdot (1, 2, 3 dan 4 g). Pengujian stabilitas fisik yang dilakukan yaitu uji persen transmitan, uji sentrifugasi, uji pH, uji viskositas dan uji kelarutan. Ukuran partikel nanoemulsi terkecil pada formulasi F4 sebesar 1165 nm, sedangkan hasil aktivitas antidiabetes diperoleh % penghambatan terbaik nanoemulsi ekstrak daun pirdot terhadap enzim α-Amilase sebesar 80,41% pada F1.

Abstract

Antioksidan merupakan senyawa yang dapat merangkat radikal bebas. Salah satu tanaman yang diduga dapat merangkat senyawa radikal bebas adalah biji buah pare (Momordica charantia L.). Masyarakat telah menggunakan pare sebagai makanan sehari-hari dan juga telah lama dipercaya sebagai obat tradisional untuk mengobati berbagai macam penyakit. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah uji skrining fitokimia dan uji aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak metanol biji buah pare. Ekstraksi dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode maserasi. Uji skrining fitokimia dilakukan dengan menggunakan berbagai reagent kimia untuk analisis senyawa golongan alkaloid, fenoli, flavonoid, tannin, triterpenoid dan steroid. Uji Aktivitas antioksidan dengan menggunakan metode DPPH. Hasil uji skrining fitokimia didapatkan bahwa ekstrak metanol biji buah pare positif mengandung senyawa golongan alkaloid, flavonoid, fenolik, triterpenoid, steroid dan tanin. Hasil uji aktivitas antioksidan didapatkan nilai IC50 sebesar 137,99 ppm yang termasuk dalam kategori sedang.

Abstract

Excessive Fe heavy metal contamination cause health problems for humans. One of the marine biota that is susceptible to heavy metal contamination is green mussels. Green mussels (Perna viridis) are a food that is very often consumed by humans. This Fe metal which derived with materials that are chelating agents such as citric acid, one of the fruits that contain citric acid is the Queen Victoria pineapple. The research aims to determine the effectiveness of soaking Queen Victoria pineapple solution in reduces Fe metal in green mussels. The pineapple solution immersion test was carried out with varying concentrations of 25, 50 and 75% with soaking times of 15, 30 and 45 minutes which were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The highest reduction results were at a concentration of 25% with a soaking time of 30 minutes, amounting to 60.58%.

Abstract

Tridax procumbens (commonly known as Gletang flower) is a medicinal plant recognized for its antibacterial potential and is widely distributed across various habitats such as rice fields, plantations, and roadsides. Phytochemical screening of its methanolic flower extract revealed the presence of secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, terpenoids, and tannins, all of which contribute to its biological activities. This study aimed to develop a microemulsion formulation of T. procumbens methanolic extract and to evaluate its antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis, two major oral pathogenic bacteria. The microemulsion was prepared using the sonication method and characterized by assessing its pH, transmittance, viscosity, physical stability, and particle size using a particle size analyzer. Antibacterial activity was tested using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The results indicated that the microemulsion had particle sizes ranging from 300–1000 nm and demonstrated significantly higher antibacterial activity compared to the crude extract, suggesting improved solubility and enhanced bioactivity of the active compounds. This formulation holds promise as a natural antibacterial agent for the prevention of oral infections.
