Abstract

Abstract: Nanocomposite is a synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) with lemongrass leaves (Cymbopogon citratus) stabilized with chitosan. The combination of nanocomposites has synergy in inhibiting bacteria, one of which is Streptococcus viridans that causes abscesses in the oral cavity. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of nanocomposite chitosan AgCh with C. citratus in inhibiting the growth of S. viridans. This was an in vitro experimental laboratory study with a post-test group control design using disc diffusion for antibacterial test. Samples were divided into eight groups, with several concentrations 6.25 mg/mL, 12.5 mg/mL, 15 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL, and 50 mg/mL, positive control (clindamycin), and negative control (aquadest and acetic acid). Normality test showed a p-value of >0.05, which meant data were normally distributed. One-way ANOVA test showed a p-value <0.05, indicating there was a difference in each treatment. Therefore, further testing was carried out using the Tukey's post hoc. In conclusion, chitosan nanocomposite, AgCh, with C. citratus can inhibit the growth of S. viridans with the formation of the best inhibition zone at a concentration of 50 mg/mL, followed by concentrations (25, 12.5, 15, and 6.25) mg/mL.

Gabungan nanokomposit memiliki sinergitas dalam menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri, salah satunya Streptococcus viridans yang menyebabkan abses dalam rongga mulut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas nanokomposit kitosan AgCh dengan C. citratus dalam menghambat pertumbuhan S. viridans. Jenis penelitian ialah eksperimental laboratorik in vitro dengan post test group control design. Pengujian antibakteri menggunakan metode difusi cakram. Sampel dibagi dalam delapan kelompok, masing-masing pada konsentrasi 6,25 mg/mL, 12,5 mg/mL, 15 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, kontrol positif (clindamycin), dan kontrol negatif (akuades dan asam asetat). Hasil uji normalitas menunjukkan p>0,05 yang berarti data terdistribusi normal. Uji oneway ANOVA menunjukkan nilai p<0,05 yang berarti terdapat perbedaan pada setiap perlakuan, sehingga dilakukan uji lanjut dengan menggunakan post hoc tukey. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah nanokomposit kitosan, AgCh, dengan C. citratus dapat menghambat pertumbuhan S. viridans dengan pembentukan zona hambat terbaik pada konsentrasi 50 mg/mL, diikuti oleh konsentrasi (25, 12,5, 15, dan 6,25) mg/mL.

Abstract

Background: Cancer, a degenerative disease, arises from free radicals in the body, which can be counteracted by antioxidants. Amaranthus hybridus L., a vegetable rich in antioxidant compounds like flavonoids, requires extraction to harness these compounds. This extraction uses the maceration technique with 70% ethanol. Antioxidant activity is tested using methods like DPPH and ABTS assays, with the IC50 value indicating effectiveness. Purpose: To determine the difference in antioxidant activity of A. hybridus L. leaves ethanol extract with DPPH and ABTS methods. Method: Laboratory experimental research. Simplicia leaves of A. hybridus L. in 70% ethanol solvent were extracted using maseration method. The antioxidant activity was tested in the sample and the ascorbic acid using DPPH and ABTS methods at wavelenghts 517 nm and 745 nm. Sample absorbance was measured using microplate reader. Result: IC50 values of A. hybridus L. leaves ethanol extract with DPPH and ABTS methods were 54,99 µg/mL and 71,45 µg/mL, for ascorbic acid using DPPH and ABTS methods were 0,62 µg/mL and 3.13 µg/mL. Conclusion: The antioxidant activity of A. hybridus L. leaves ethanol extract with DPPH method has stronger antioxidant than ABTS method.
