Abstract

The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has intensified the global search for alternative antimicrobial agents, particularly from natural sources. Traditional medicinal plants have been widely recognized for their therapeutic potential, and Peronema canescens Jack is well-known to contain bioactive compounds. Among its pharmacological properties, its antibacterial potential has drawn scientific interest. Secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, and phenolics are believed to contribute to its antimicrobial activity. However, the specific antibacterial compounds in P. canescens remain largely unidentified. This study seeks to isolate and characterize antibacterial compounds from the ethanol extract of Sungkai leaves, aiming to discover new natural antibacterial agents. The research objectives include isolating antibacterial compounds using maceration extraction and fractionation, conducting phytochemical screening to identify metabolite classes, assessing antibacterial activity using the paper disc diffusion method, and characterizing bioactive isolates through UV-Vis spectrophotometry and FTIR analysis. The results indicate that the ethyl acetate fraction of the ethanol extract of P. canescens leaves exhibits significant antibacterial activity, particularly at concentrations of 500 and 1000 ppm. UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis identified flavonoid compounds, including apigenin, flavones, and flavonols, based on characteristic absorption peaks. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of functional groups associated with flavonoids, supporting their antibacterial potential. These findings highlight P. canescens as a promising source of natural antibacterial agents. Further studies focusing on compound purification and in vivo antibacterial testing are recommended to explore its pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common types of infection caused by the growth of microorganisms in the human urinary tract. Nitrite can be detected using spectroscopy, electrochemistry, chemiluminescence, chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and flow injection analysis methods. However, this method takes quite a long time. So, this method is not suitable for rapid screening because it requires time for bacterial incubation and adequate sample preparation. So, there is a need for a fast-screening method that can diagnose UTIs through a nitrite colorimetric sensor. The colorimetric method is based on nanoparticles, which are relatively cheap and can provide visual and rapid detection. Nitrite is an indicator in diagnosing UTI. This research aims to determine the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles using avocado leaf bio-reductors (Persea americana Mill.) and chitosan as a stabilizer, which can be used as a colorimetric nitrite detector to minimize the use of dangerous and environmentally unfriendly inorganic materials. Characterization and analysis in this research used a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red), and PSA (Particle Size Analyzer). The Ag nanoparticle synthesis process was carried out by varying the bioreductant volume, synthesis time, and chitosan concentration. It was found that the optimum synthesis time was 4 hours with an SPR value of 428 nm, an absorbance of 2.112 and a nanoparticle size. Apart from that, the optimum concentration of chitosan was obtained at a concentration of 2.5% with an SPR of 435 nm and an absorbance of 1.341 with a nanoparticle size. The results obtained from AgNPs/chitosan as a colorimetric nitrite detector showed a color change to purple with an LOD value of 0.1303 µM and an LOQ of 0.4345 µM.
