Abstract

Acne is a skin disease that affects a large number of sufferers. Acne occurs due to active oil glands under the skin. This activity is stimulated by androgen hormones. The active compound content of proanthocyanidin is the main compound in the ethanolic extract of tamarind seed bark, which can inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria, namely Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The purpose of this study was to formulate a nanogel from tamarind seed bark extract and test the antibacterial potential of an ethanol extract of tamarind seeds against acne-causing bacteria. The antibacterial potency test consisted of variations in concentration and was 0.5, 1, 5, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, and 300 (in mg/mL). The concentration of the formulated nanogel preparations was 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5%. The MIC results showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was at a concentration of 1 mg/mL with a zone of inhibition of 6.50 ± 0.44 mm (Propionibacterium acnes) and 6.40 ± 0.10 mm (Staphylococcus epidermidis). The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was at a concentration of 25 mg/mL with a percentage reduction of 98.18% (Propionibacterium acnes) and 98.06% (Staphylococcus epidermidis). The results of the nanogel formulations showed that the particle sizes were 49.88 ± 0.11 nm (Formula I), 51.92 ± 0.09 nm (Formula II), and 59.13 ± 0.10 nm (Formula III). Conclusion The ethanolic extract of tamarind seed bark has effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria and can be formulated as an anti-acne nanogel.

Abstract

An infectious disease is a disease with the highest prevalence in the world, with a great risk of transmission. Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen that can cause several infectious diseases. The use of kemangi leaves as vegetables can be used as an invention in treating infections caused by bacteria. The purpose of this study was a phytochemical screening test to determine what metabolites are contained and their potential activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The research method is to carry out a qualitative phytochemical screening test using reagents and an antibacterial potential test against Staphylococcus aureus using the Kirby-Bauer method (diffusion agar) with varying concentrations. The results showed that kemangi leaves extract showed positive results on the secondary metabolite compounds, were alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, glycosides, and steroids/triterpenoids. The diameter of the inhibition zone at a concentration of 500 mg/mL showed the diameter of the inhibition zone was 11.93 ± 0.25 mm with the strong category group. The conclusion is that the ethanolic extract of kemangi leaves shows the ethanolic extract of kemangi leaves has potential as an antibacterial.

Abstract

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii) is one of the spices that can be used as cosmetic preparations in the pharmaceutical industry because it contains potent antioxidants. Examples of cosmetic products containing cinnamon are body scrubs, body showers, and moisturizers. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of cinnamon extract using the DPPH method. Cinnamon was extracted using the maceration technique with 96% ethanol solvent, and phytochemical screening was carried out. The results of phytochemical screening from cinnamon bark extract were alkaloids, saponins, tannins, triterpenoids, and flavonoids. Antioxidant activity obtained an IC50 value of 25.35 ppm. Based on these results, the cinnamon extract has a very strong antioxidant activity value.
