Abstract

Nature provides various compounds that can provide anti-inflammatory activity, one of which is the compound contained in mangrove roots (Sonneratia alba). In these plants, especially in the roots, there are secondary metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids and from various reported research results, flavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties. The medicinal preparation that the researchers want to make is a gel preparation that is used for topical treatment therapy. The research was carried out with 15 rats into 5 test groups. Positive control group: given Diclofenac Sodium gel (Voltadex) 20 g (1%), negative control group: given gel without ethanol extract, 2.5% concentration group: given 2.5% ethanol extract gel, 5% concentration group: given 5% ethanol extract gel, 10% concentration group: 10% ethanol extract gel was given. The data was analyzed descriptively and presented in the form of tables and graphs. The research results showed that the Sonneratia alba ethanol extract gel preparation had anti-inflammatory activity. The research results show that the ethanol extract of Sonneratia alba mangrove roots can be used as a gel preparation and in in vivo testing the gel preparation of Sonneratia alba mangrove root ethanol extract has anti-inflammatory activity. The control group of Sonneratia alba mangrove root ethanol extract gel preparations of concentrations of 2.5%, 5% and 10% had a swelling inhibition percentage, which means that Sonneratia alba mangrove root ethanol extract gel preparations of 2.5%, 5% and 10% concentration had anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract

Diseases caused by bacteria infections are renowned for hurting human health and may become fatal when not treated with appropriate medical therapy. Meanwhile, several bacteria, including Mycobacterium smegmatis, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhi, are resistant to numerous antibiotics. Therefore, this study aimed to find new compounds from plants with antibacterial potential. The results showed that based on phytochemical screening, Dendrophthoe pentandra mistletoe leaf on Citrus microcarpa Bunge plants had compounds with antibacterial activity, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolics. According to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, eight compounds have antibacterial properties, namely 2-Myristynoyl pantetheine; 2H-Indeno[1,2-b]furan-2-one, 3,3a,4,5,6,7,8,8b-octahydro-8,8-dimethyl; Acetamide, N-methyl-N-[4-(3-hydroxypyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl]-; Ethyl iso-allocholate; a-D-Glucopyranoside, methyl 2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-3-O-(trimethylsilyl)-, cyclic methylboronate; tert-Hexadecanethiol; Sarreroside; and d-Mannose. D. pentandra mistletoe leaf extract had a better effect or activity on inhibiting the growth of M. smegmatis than E. coli and S. typhi. It was concluded that D. pentandra mistletoe leaf on Citrus microcarpa Bunge plants had antibacterial activity.

Abstract

Free radicals can originate from within the human body as a result of metabolic processes from chemical reactions in the body, as well as from external sources or the environment, including emissions from motor vehicles, air pollution from factories, industrial chemicals, food and beverage substances, cigarette smoke, radiation, and sunlight. Antioxidants are components that can prevent cells or molecules from being oxidised by donating electrons or hydrogen atoms to free radicals. The impact of the reactivity of free radical compounds can result in cell or tissue damage, degenerative diseases, and even cancer. One of the parasites on the moringa plant, namely Helixanthera cylindrica (Jack) Danser, contains secondary metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins. This research aimed to determine whether the leaves of the Helixanthera cylindrica (Jack) Danser mistletoe have antioxidant activity using the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The research method is a laboratory experiment with five concentrations and three repetitions. Subsequently, the antioxidant activity testing is conducted qualitatively using the DPPH method at a wavelength of 517 nm and utilising a Spectrophotometer UV-Vis. Based on the results of the antioxidant test, the extract of Helixanthera cylindrica (Jack) Danser leaves has extreme activity with an IC50 value of 28.74 ppm. In contrast, the comparison, vitamin C has an IC50 value of 1.57 ppm. The regression equation for the concentration of the mistletoe is y=0.3344x + 40.389 with an R2 value of 0.9726, and Vitamin C shows y=4.4065x + 43.079 with an R² value of 0.9677. It can be concluded that the leaves of Helixanthera cylindrica (Jack) Danser on the Moringa oleifera plant have extreme antioxidant activity.
