Abstract

Dental caries and halitosis are oral health issues largely caused by Streptococcus mutans. Noni leaves (Morinda citrifolia L.) contain bioactive compounds with potential antibacterial properties, making them suitable for formulation into a mouthwash. This study aimed to formulate an ethanolic extract of noni leaves into a mouthwash and evaluate its antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans. The study was conducted experimentally, involving extract preparation, phytochemical screening, mouthwash formulation at concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 30%, physical evaluation of the preparations, and antibacterial activity testing using the disc diffusion method. The research results indicate that all formulas met physical evaluation requirements and exhibited antibacterial activity. The 30% formula produced the greatest inhibitory effect, with an average inhibition zone of 20.15 mm, followed by the 15% formula (18.23 mm) and the 10% formula (15.23 mm). Thus, the ethanolic extract of noni leaves can be formulated into a mouthwash that is stable and effective in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans. Keywords: Morinda citrifolia L., mouthwash, antibacterial activity, Streptococcus mutans.

Abstract

Background: Ideal soap should not only cleanse the skin but also contain substances that protect it from adverse effects, including those of free radicals, which can accelerate aging and cause other skin problems. Antioxidant compounds are needed to counteract free radicals. Used tea bags are a waste product that still contains antioxidant compounds. The use of nanotechnology is expected to enhance the stability and long-term effectiveness of cosmetic formulations, including soap. Objective: This study aimed to formulate a solid soap containing used nano tea bag powder, evaluate the physical characteristics of the soap, and test its antioxidant activity. Method: This research used a True Experimental method with a Post Test Only Control Group Design. The used tea bag powder sample was processed into nano powder using a Ball Mill. Solid soap was formulated in three variations: F0 (control without powder), F1 (containing 1.4% used tea bag powder), and F2 (containing 1.4% used nano tea bag powder). The soap preparations were then evaluated for their physical characteristics (organoleptic, pH, foam stability, hardness, cleaning power) and tested for antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Results: The used tea bag powder was successfully converted into nano powder with an average particle size of 684.35 nm. Phytochemical screening results showed that both the powder and nano powder contained alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. Evaluation of the solid soap showed that all formulas (F0, F1, F2) met the physical quality requirements. The antioxidant activity test yielded IC50 values for F0, F1, and F2 of 975.2861 µg/ml (very weak), 211.3533 µg/ml (very weak), and 168.3053 µg/ml (weak), respectively. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the used tea bag powder meets the characteristics of nano powder. The solid soap formulation containing used nano tea bag powder meets physical quality requirements and demonstrates antioxidant activity, albeit in the weak category. The F2 formula (nano powder) showed better antioxidant activity than F1 (coarse powder) and F0 (control).

Abstract

Background: Tekelan leaf (Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M.King & H.Rob) is one of Indonesia's natural resources rich in bioactive compounds. Its traditional use for treating wounds, sore throats, diarrhea, and various other ailments is suspected to be linked to its antioxidant and antibacterial content. Objective: This research aimed to analyze the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction of tekelan leaves, and to test their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Method: The study used an experimental method. Antioxidant activity was tested using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and the results were expressed as IC₅₀ values. The antibacterial test against S. aureus and E. coli was conducted using the disc diffusion method, and the inhibitory power was measured based on the inhibition zone diameter (mm). Results: The antioxidant test results showed that the ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction had strong activity with IC₅₀ values of 98.26 ppm and 75.43 ppm, respectively, while the n-hexane fraction showed weak activity (IC₅₀ 110.54 ppm). In the antibacterial test at a 40% concentration, the ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction inhibited the growth of both bacteria with strong to very strong categories. The highest average inhibition zones against E. coli and S. aureus were 19.03 mm and 21.36 mm (ethanol extract), 10.56 mm and 12.13 mm (n-hexane fraction), and 13.60 mm and 15.40 mm (ethyl acetate fraction), respectively. This activity was still lower than the positive control chloramphenicol, which produced inhibition zones of 28.23 mm (E. coli) and 27.43 mm (S. aureus). Conclusion: It was concluded that the extract and ethyl acetate fraction of tekelan leaves have strong antioxidant activity, while the n-hexane fraction is classified as weak. All samples (extract, n-hexane fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction) showed strong antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, although they have not matched the effectiveness of chloramphenicol.

Abstract

Bandotan (Ageratum conyzoides L.) is a plant distributed worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Bandotan can be used as a traditional medicine because it contains beneficial phytochemical compounds such as terpenoids, alkaloids, essential oils, saponins, and phenolics that play a role in inhibiting bacterial growth and serving as natural antioxidants. The objective of this research was to determine the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the extract, n-hexane fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction from bandotan leaves. This research used an experimental method. It included antioxidant testing of the ethanol extract fractions of bandotan leaves (Ageratum conyzoides L.) using the DPPH method and antibacterial testing using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The phytochemical screening results showed that bandotan leaves contain alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and glycosides. The antioxidant testing for DPPH radical scavenging revealed that the bandotan leaf extract had an IC50 value of 499.3633 μg/ml, the n-hexane fraction had an IC50 value of 945.7837 μg/ml, and the ethyl acetate fraction had an IC50 value of 382.9216 μg/ml, all categorized as very weak antioxidants. Antibacterial testing indicated that the extract, n-hexane fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction of bandotan (Ageratum conyzoides L.) exhibited antibacterial activity, inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with strong activity at the highest concentration of 40% and moderate activity at the lowest concentration of 10%. In conclusion, bandotan leaves have very weak antioxidant activity due to the low content of flavonoids and strong antibacterial activity at 40% concentration and weak activity at 10% concentration.
