Abstract

Antioxidants are compounds that can counteract free radicals. The macroalgae Euchema cottonii belongs to a type of seaweed from the Rhodophyta which is thought to have antioxidant activity. In this study, the antioxidant activity was tested using the CUPRAC method using spectrophotometry at 450 nm and the determination of total phenolic compounds in the extract and macroalgae fraction Eucheuma cottonii using the Folin Ciocalteu method. The extraction method was carried out using the maceration method with 70% ethanol and fractionation using ECC with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol-water (20% v/v). The results of TLC monitoring of Eucheuma cottonii showed the presence of flavonoid compounds, phenols, alkaloids, steroids, and triterpenoids. The results of the antioxidant activity test showed that the EC50 for the ethanol extract and the n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol-water fractions were 89.11; 143.40; 100.02 and 90.22 g/ml respectively with EC50 vitamin C as a comparison of 6,86 g/ml. The results of the determination of the total phenolate content of the ethanol extract and the fractions of n- hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol-water were 2.77; 1.96; 2.76; and 3.09 mg/GAE per 100 mg extract. The ethanol extract had a strong antioxidant activity with an EC50  89.11 g/ml and the highest total phenol content was in the methanol-water fraction of 3.09 mg/GAE per 100 mg extract. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of the macroalga Eucheuma cottonii has the potential as an alternative source of antioxidants.

Abstract

Acne is a skin disease that often occurs in adolescence and even adulthood, characterized by the presence of blackheads, papules, pustules, nodes, and cysts on the face, neck, upper arms, chest, and back. Although not life-threatening, acne can affect a person's quality of life by giving a bad psychological effect in the way a person assesses, perceives and responds to his condition and situation. The aim of this study is to asses the antibacterial activity of the extract and fraction of the macroalgae Euchema cottonii against acne-causing bacteria, namely Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The extraction method used was maceration, using 96% p.a ethanol as a solvent and fractionation using the ECC method with three solvents with different polarity levels, namely n-hexane, ethylacetate and ethanol. The activity test was carried out using the paper disc and micro dilution method with the comparison antibacterial clindamycin. The results showed that there was no antibacterial activity from either the extract or fraction of macroalgae Euchema cottonii against the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes, but there are activity from the extract and fraction (n-hexane and ethylacetate) against the Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria with the MBC value at a concentration of 15% and MIC at a concentration of 5% (for the extract and n-hexane fraction), while for the ethylacetate fraction the MIC value was at a concentration of 10%. Therefor, the strength of the antibacterial activity of the extract and fraction of Eucheuma cottoni is in the weak category.
