Abstract

Leaves of Vernonia amygdalina Del. is one of the alternative plants that people use as antidiarrheal in Martapura, Banjar. The purpose of research to determine the antidiarrheal activity and the effectiveness of ethanolic extract of leaves against male mice. The negative control was given NaCMC 0.5% orally, positive control was given Loperamide HCl 0.005 mg/20 g orally, and groups of ethanolic extract of leaves were given dosages in 100 mg/kg BW, 200 mg/kg BW, and 400 mg/kg BW orally. After 1 hour of treatment, the groups were induced by Oleum ricini orally and were observed for 4 hours. Based on three parameters were frequency, weight, and consistency of diarrhea. From the results observation of that negative control, positive control, EEDA 100 mg/kg BW, 200 mg/kg BW, and 400 mg/kg BW for diarrhea frequency parameter was 7.4 ± 2.30; 2 ± 1.22; 5.8 ± 3.34; 6.2 ± 4.08; 2.4 ± 1.67; the weight parameter was 1.34 ± 0.43; 0.38 ± 0.29;0.66 ± 0.56; 0.57 ± 0.38; 0.49 ± 0.33 and then consistency of diarrhea with EEDA 400 mg/kg BW improved the consistency at 180 minutes compared to control group at 210 minutes. In conclusion, from all parameters of ethanolic extract of Vernonia amygdalina Del. leaves can give an antidiarrhea effect with optimum dosage is 400 mg/kg BW.

Abstract

Pineapple peel (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is waste from the pineapple fruit. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of pineapple peel extract and to antibacterial activity in various concentrations effective in inhibiting the growth of Propionibacterium acnes. The pineapple peel extract is made by using the extraction method in the form of maceration. The method used in the inhibitory test using the three replication samples in each treatment group. The sample consisted of 10 treatment groups ie pineapple peel extract concentration 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5%, 75%, 87.5%, and 100%, as well as positive and negative control. The results obtained from pineapple peel screening contain flavonoid and saponin compounds. The data analysis shows that pineapple peel extract concentrations of 50%, 62.5%, 75%, 87.5%, and 100% had inhibitory zones with the medium-strong category while clindamycin as the control has a strong inhibition zone. The conclusion of this research proves that pineapple peel extract has antibacterial power to P. acnes with effective concentration is 100% with the strong category.
