Abstract

Article Highlights- This research provides information on the use of medicinal plants for treating malaria among ethnic groups in Bengkulu Province.- This research was part of RISTOJA (Research on Medicinal Plants), national research conducted by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia.- Several compounds found in medicinal plants used by traditional healers in the Bengkulu Province have been scientifically proven to be effective as antimalarial medication.AbstractMalaria is a disease with a high mortality rate and is still a significant problem in Indonesia and globally. One of the provinces in Indonesia that uses a diversity of medicinal plants to treat malaria is Bengkulu Province. This research aims to inventory and evaluate the use of medicinal plants as malaria drugs in Bengkulu Province. The research methods used were observation, interviews, and the collection of samples. Respondents were traditional healers from seven ethnic groups in Bengkulu. Plant species, use value (UV) parameters, fidelity level (FL), family use value (FUV), relative frequency of citation (RFC), and plant parts value (PPV) were analyzed. This study found 32 specific herbal concoctions and identified the use of 47 plant species in 28 families used by 20 healers in 6 ethnic groups of Bengkulu. The species Carica papaya, Peronema canescens, and Tinospora crispa have the highest use value, fidelity level, and relative frequency of citation. The Lamiaceae and Caricaceae families have the highest family use value (0.15). The leaves (43.9%) and barks (13.6%) were the most frequently utilized parts of medicinal plants to overcome malaria. Decoction was the method most widely used by traditional healers in Bengkulu to prepare conventional medicine formula.

Abstract

Black rice is a food crop with black pigments, which helps reduce the risk of various diseases and improve health. One way to improve food quality and avoid food contaminants is by irradiating. This study evaluated the phytochemical profile, antioxidant activity, and anticancer activity of irradiated black rice bran extract (IBRBE) in vitro and in silico. Black rice was irradiated with a Gamma cell 220 type irradiator at a 7.5 kGy/hour dose rate. Extraction of irradiated black rice bran was carried out using the maceration method. Phenolic and flavonoid components were quantified using the Folin–Ciocalteau and AlCl3 methods, respectively. Phytochemical compounds were identified by liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC HRMS). The antioxidant activity of IBRBE was carried out against 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydazyl (DPPH). The cytotoxic activity of IBRBE against WiDr cells (colorectal cancer) and Vero (nonhuman cell lines) used the MT test method. Prediction of the inhibitory mechanism of compounds in the extract against target proteins EGFR and GPX7 was carried out in silico. Total phenolics and flavonoids were 2.57 ± 0.28 mg GAE/g and 19.12 ± 0.18 μg QE/ml, respectively. Twenty-four types of active compounds were obtained in IBRBE. The results of antioxidant activity obtained an IC50 value of 1198.45 ± 92.86 μg/ml. IC50 in WiDr cells and Vero cells were obtained at 36.08 ± 11.71 μg/ml and 570.58 ± 130.25 μg/ml, respectively. In silico results, the compound 4 Dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid has the highest binding affinity to the EGFR protein, with a value of -5.9. Meanwhile, the Monoolein compound has the highest binding affinity to the GPX7 protein, with a value of -5.4.
