Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) are waste generated by the palm oil industry and are generally considered an environmental problem due to their large quantity and difficult recyclability. This study's objective was to examine the potential of OPEFB lignin extract combined with amoxicillin in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The Synergism Test of the OPEFB lignin extract-antibiotic combination was conducted using the AZDAST method (Ameri Ziaei Double Antibiotic Synergism Test). The lignin extraction process was a steam process using a 4% oxalic acid solution under optimal conditions. Then, Calcium ions precipitate 4% oxalate by adding Ca(OH)2 to the extract. The Lignin content was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry at 280 nm, and then the lignin extract was combined with antibiotics for antibacterial assay. The results showed a lignin content of 1.06 %. The AZDAST test results revealed clear zones from the combination of OPEFB lignin extract and amoxicillin with a diameter of 20.23 mm for the extract containing oxalate and 15.83 mm for the oxalate-free extract. Meanwhile, on average, the clear zone of single amoxicillin was only 14.13 mm. Based on these results, the combination of OPEFB lignin extract with amoxicillin was stronger than amoxicillin alone in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus, but it was not significantly different (p-value> 0.05). In conclusion, the potential of OPEFB lignin extract synergistically worked with the antibiotic amoxicillin in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus.

Abstract

Cinnamomum culilaban is one of the native Indonesian plants that has been used as medicinal plant. The local community on Seram Island uses the stem bark to treat toothaches. Eugenol, a chemical compound found in Cinnamomum culilaban, is used in dental practice and has antibacterial activity. Research on Cinnamomum culilaban is very limited, its activity against bacteria that cause oral infections has not been reported. This study aims to investigate the antibacterial activity of Cinnamomum culilaban bark extract against oral pathogens Porphyromonas gingivalis, Streptpcoccus mutans, and Enterococcus faecalis. The extraction was carried out using 96% ethanol with ultrasound-assisted extraction method. Disc diffusion assay was conducted to investigate the antibacterial activity. The concentration of extract used were 50%, 25%, and 12.5% (b/v) in DMSO. Eugenol (50% v/v in DMSO) was used as positive control. The phytochemicals screening was carried out to investigate the chemical compounds contained in Cinnamomum culilaban bark extract. Extraction of Cinnamomum culilaban bark using 96% ethanol with the ultrasound-assisted extraction method obtained a yield of 23.36±0.49%. The extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenolics, and steroids/terpenoids. The ethanolic extract of Cinnamomum culilaban bark has inhibitory activity against Streptpcoccus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis. Cinnamomum culilaban bark has the potential as an antibacterial agent.
