Abstract

Bakông Asóe is a typical Acehnese snack loved by older people in Aceh since ancient times. This snack is made from wet tobacco which is used as chewing tobacco. The process of drying Bakông Asóê in the open triggers heavy metal contamination by air pollution from motor vehicles. The process of storing Bakông Asóê in a wet state also triggers the growth of microbes such as bacteria and fungi due to a growth medium in the form of water. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of heavy metal contamination (Pb, Cd, Se, Cu and Hg) and microbiological contamination in the form of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungi (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) in Bakông Asóê which sold on the side of the road without adequate hygiene. The research refers to a qualitative research approach with the type of research that is descriptive research. This study showed that heavy metal exposure in the form of Pb, Cu and Se in the three samples was still in the safe range for consumption. However, exposure to heavy metals in the form of Cd and Hg in the three samples exceeded the consumption standard. The results of the analysis of microbiological contamination in the three Bakông Asóê samples were proven to contain bacterial and fungal contamination, where cocci-shaped bacteria were more commonly found and fungi with the genus Aspergillus sp were also more dominant in the three Bakông Asóê samples. The conclusion of this study is positive for chemical and microbiological contamination in Bakông Asóê, which is sold in Aceh, Ule Kareng and Lambaro Markets.

Abstract

The Mane plant (Vitex pinnata L.) is traditionally used as medicine in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This study aimed to predict the pharmacokinetic parameters of compounds in the ethanolic extract of Mane leaf (EEML), including the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET), by in-silico approach. The method used was to analyze the compounds using a web-predictor server and molecular docking. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) analysis of EEML showed the presence of active compounds, including phytol (60.93%), acorenol (8.56%), n-hexadecanoic acid (4.89%), trans-Z-alpha-bisabolene epoxide (2.7%) and cedrane (2.03%). Lipinski's rule of five states that all compounds had a deviation of less than 2. Pharmacokinetic parameters suggested that phytol was moderately absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and had a toxicity level of 5 with lethal doses (LD50) >5000 mg/kg. Molecular docking results showed that phytol could be used against the targeted enzyme Staphylococcus aureus. In conclusion, our study suggests that the active compounds of EEML may have potential as a drug candidate.

Abstract

The lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation, located in Ie Seu-um village, Aceh Besar District, harbors several medicinal plants that exhibit potential for the treatment of infectious diseases. This study aims to assess the secondary metabolite content and in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans of medicinal plants inhabiting the geothermal region. Medicinal plants, namely Pluchea indica (L.) Less., Acrostichum aureum L., Acacia mangium L., and Calotropis gigantea (L.) Dryand., were collected within a range of 100-150 meters from the hot springs in the lower area. Methanol extracts of these medicinal plants underwent phytochemical screening and were tested for antimicrobial activity using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method at a concentration of 50%. The results of phytochemical screening demonstrated positive variations in alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and tannins for each medicinal plant. The antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts noticeably inhibited the growth of S. aureus compared to E. coli and C. albicans. The largest inhibition zones were observed for the leaf part of A. mangium (12.70 ± 2.30 mm) against S. aureus, the aerial part of A. aureum (11.57 ± 2.01 mm) against E. coli, and the aerial part of P. indica (9.89 ± 1.11 mm) against C. albicans. Based on the research findings, medicinal plants originating from the lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation exhibit potential as antimicrobial agents, particularly against gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract

Pogostemon cablin Benth also known as a patchouli plant, is a member of Lamiaceae family, and the source of patchouli essential oil. This plant is an important herb which possesses many therapeutic properties. In traditional medicinal practices, patchouli oil is used to relieve depression, stress, calm nerves, control appetite and to improve sexual interest. Up to the present moment, almost 200 volatile and non-volatile compounds have been isolated and identified from Pogostemon cablin including flavonoid, phytosterols, glycosides, terpenes, sesquiterpenes, organic acids, and others. Modern studies revealed that the patchouli plant have been used for various applications such as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidepressant, antithrombotic, antiplatelet, fibrinolytic, antiemetic, antimutagenic, and aphrodisiac. In aromatherapy, this plant is believed to be able to improve blood circulation and sexual interest. The flavonoid compounds, such as acacetin and apigenin are believed to play an important role as an aphrodisiac. The mechanisms of action of this plant as an aphrodisiac is believed by increasing androgens and estrogen levels in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which further increases arousal sexual desire. However, some uses need to be verified and may require standardizing and authenticating the bioactivity of purified compounds through scientific methods. This perspective study discusses the aphrodisiac potential of Pogostemon cablin Benth, including their chemical constituents, health benefit, mechanism action, and the role of main bioactive compound as an aphrodisiac.

Abstract

When washing hands, handwashing is one way to prevent diseases caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, the most common bacteria that can cause infections. The production of handwash utilizing silver nanoparticles as an active antibacterial agent remains a relatively infrequent practice. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles from the leaves of Calotropis gigantea, which grows in the geothermal area of Ie Seu-um Aceh Besar, has been carried out using the green synthesis method and hybrid green synthesis with patchouli oil. Handwash with active ingredients such as silver nanoparticles was successfully formulated, evaluated, and tested against S. aureus and E. coli. The organoleptic characteristics, pH, viscosity, foam height measurements, density, irritation, and antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli were evaluated. The results showed that the organoleptic properties of the handwash with silver nanoparticles were not changed during a 30-day storage period, with pH values in the range of 9.7-10.3, and did not cause irritation upon using silver nanoparticle handwash. The best formula for handwashing with silver nanoparticles in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria was F2, with inhibition zones of 12.9 ± 2.85 mm and 10.95 ± 0.8 mm, respectively. The formulated handwash with silver nanoparticles met the requirements of good liquid soap according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) with potent antibacterial activity.

Abstract

The rise in antimicrobial resistance has prompted the search for potent antimicrobial agents, with plants from unique environments, such as geothermal areas, offering potential due to their diverse phytochemical profiles. This study evaluated the antiplanktonic and antibiofilm activity of M. edule fractions from the geothermal area, Jaboi, Sabang. Crude extracts of M. edule were sequentially fractionated using hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. The resulting fractions were further analyzed for their phytochemical content and antiplanktonic and antibiofilm activities. The ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated superior antiplanktonic and antibiofilm activities compared to other fractions, inhibiting 50% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa planktonic and biofilm formation at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. The most potent fraction exhibited the phenolic content, 672.84 mg GAE/g extract, surpassing the other fractions. The GC-MS analysis shows the presence of pyrogallol, hexadecanoic acid, cedran-diol, and sitosterol. These findings highlight the potential of the ethyl acetate fraction of M. edule as a source of bioactive compounds with promising antiplanktonic and antibiofilm properties, laying the groundwork for future research into its therapeutic applications against biofilm-associated infections.
