Abstract

ABSTRACT Herbal medicine is used for generations because of its safety and free from adverse side effects, but the healing process takes a long time. This is the background of herbal medicine manufacturers to improve their performance by adding dexamethasone compounds. This compound is a synthesis of corticosteroid hormones whose use must be under the supervision of a doctor because it has side effects of cardiovascular disease, Cushing's syndrome, osteoporosis, hypertension, gastrointestinal ulcers, infections, and cataracts. The presence of this compound can be detected using the Thin Layer Chromatography method by comparing the Rf value of the sample with the standard solution of dexamethasone. The eluents used are methanol, ethyl acetate, and toluene with a ratio of 1:45:55. This method was used to detect dexamethasone content in six samples of packaged herbs circulating in the Mojokerto region, East Java province. Of the six samples analyzed, five of them showed positive results, namely samples A, B, C, D and F with a difference in the Rf value of the sample and standard of each 0.01; 0.01; 0.00; 0.00; and 0.02. Sample E does not contain dexamethasone indicated by the difference in the sample's Rf value against the 0.5 standard. Keywords: Herbal medicine, herbal packaging, dexamethasone, corticosteroids, Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC).

Abstract

Ganoderma lucidum, lingzhi or reishi mushroom is a plant containing secondary metabolites that are of wide interest due to their biological activities. Among them the most important is its Antioxidant activity. Free radicals are potentially damaging byproducts of metabolism. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals in the body and thus help to protect against disease (source) The study was conducted to determine the antioxidant effect, as measured by DPPH radicals scavenging capability of hand and body lotions with lingzhi mushroom extract included. Maceration was used to extract lingzhi and the yield of extraction is 14.17% The results of the preliminary phytochemical analysis showed that lingzhi has contained compounds related to flavonoid, phenolat, triterpenoid and steroid. The antioxidant activity assay further confirmed the results as lingzhi extract showed very high antioxidant (46.9 ppm) potential when tested against DPPH scavenging by abrogating red purple color at 517nm table(Table.). In addition, the incorporation of lingzhi extract with hand and body lotion also increased antioxidant activity, where 0.75% lingzhi extract was found have to produce most effective DPPH inhibition [IC50 = 28.47 ppm].
