Abstract

Antibacterial compounds are bioactive substances capable of inhibiting bacterial growth by disrupting the metabolism and cellular processes of pathogenic microorganisms. Natural plant-derived compounds have been widely explored for their antibacterial properties, with star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) and betel leaf (Piper betle) recognized for their potent antimicrobial effects. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of a combination of star fruit and betel leaf extracts against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, two clinically significant bacterial pathogens. The extraction process was performed using hydro-extraction at different temperatures (40°C, 50°C, 60°C, and 90°C) to determine the optimal conditions for bioactive compound yield. Antibacterial activity was assessed using the disc diffusion method, measuring inhibition zones to indicate bacterial susceptibility. The results demonstrated that the optimal inhibitory effect occurred at 50°C, producing an inhibition zone of 19.75 mm for Staphylococcus aureus and 11.75 mm for Escherichia coli. These findings suggest that temperature plays a critical role in maximizing the antibacterial potential of plant extracts. The study highlights the potential application of star fruit and betel leaf extracts as natural antibacterial agents, particularly against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Further research is recommended to explore the mechanism of action, phytochemical composition, and potential synergy of these extracts in antimicrobial formulations.

Abstract

Pluchea indica L. is a plant have some secondary metabolite compounds namely flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, and phenols that have antioxidants activity. The purpose of this study was to compare the content of antioxidant compounds analyzed using LC-MS and determine the relationship of antioxidant activity through the DPPH test on P. indica leaves extracted by maceration and soxhlation. The extracts from maceration and soxhlation of P. indica leaves were analyzed using LC-MS to determine the composition of the compounds contained therein then continued with the antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method. In the antioxidant activity test using DPPH, each extract was made 3 variations of concentration, namely 10 ppm, 50 ppm, and 100 ppm, and measured based on the absorbance of DPPH at a wavelength of 515 nm using a UV-vis spectrometer. The results of analysis using LC-MS on macerated extracts of P. indica leaves are 112 compounds consisting of flavonoids 72.4841%, phenols 9.00625%, terpenoids 6.11827%, alkaloids 6.99075%, tannins 2.2256%, and saponins 2.04458%. The Soxhlet extraction contained 116 compounds consisting of flavonoids 67.14345%, phenols 8.95854%, terpenoids 13.82165%, alkaloids 5.35637%, tannins 2.53305%, and saponins 0.2969%. The results of the antioxidant activity test using DPPH on maceration extracts have an IC50 value of 76.7576 and soxhlation 62.580 ppm. Both maceration and soxhlation extracts of P. indica leaves contain compounds that have high antioxidant potential and have good antioxidant activity, namely in the strong antioxidant category. However, the soxhlation extract has more compounds and a lower IC50 value. Thus, the more antioxidant compounds contained in an extract, the lower the IC50 value so that the better the antioxidant activity.

Abstract

Dry skin can often cause psychological discomfort. Moisturizer is a preparation that is used to improve dry skin. Kapok plant (Ceiba pentandra L. Gaertn) can be used as an active ingredient of moisturizer and can be used as a treatment, where the chemical content in kapok leaves are flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, tannins and terpenoids as antioxidants. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of kapok leaf extract and moisturizer preparations with DPPH method using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, physical quality of preparations and antioxidant activity of moisturizer preparations using DPPH method. Kapok leaf extract was made in various concentrations, namely 20 ppm, 40 ppm and 60 ppm. The IC50 value of kapok leaf extract is 67.4007 ppm which has strong antioxidant activity. Then variations in the concentration of kapok leaf extract were put into the formulation of moisturizer preparations, the results of moisturizer preparations of kapok leaf extract and vitamin C met the requirements of the physical quality test. The moisturizer preparation was continued and tested for antioxidant activity using the DPPH method with ascorbic acid as a comparison. The results of the IC50 value on the kapuk leaf extract moisturizer preparation are 110.065 ppm which is classified as having moderate antioxidant activity and while the vitamin C moisturizer preparation is 9.8417 ppm which is classified as having very strong antioxidant activity.
