Soursop (Annona muricata) is reported to have great efficacy in traditional medicine in Indonesia so it is very vulnerable to being faked or sold as low quality. Apart from having a delicious fruit taste, Soursop leaves have also been used as an effective cancer medicine by the public and have been scientifically proven so that Soursop can be used as a phytopharmaceutical product. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research to determine pharmacognosy parameters and marker compounds as ingredients needed to obtain the authenticity of simplicia and plant extracts. This research includes macroscopic and microscopic examination of leaves, macroscopic and microscopic examination of simplicia, fluorescence characteristics of simplicia, determining the solubility of methanol extract in various non-polar and polar solvents as well as the characteristics of marker compounds that can be used as alternatives to existing marker compounds from Soursop (Annona muricata). The research results obtained are important information as a stage for the identification and standardization of soursop leaves (Annona muricata) as a raw material for herbal medicine.

Abstract

Analgesics are medications used to relieve or eliminate pain that can reduce quality of life, such as headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, and muscle pain. However, the easy accessibility of these drugs, both with and without a prescription, is often not accompanied by adequate understanding of their proper use, which may lead to adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disorders, kidney and liver damage, and hypersensitivity reactions. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve public understanding regarding the proper use and potential side effects of analgesics. This study aims to enhance public knowledge and understanding of the rational use of analgesics through health promotion activities. The method employed was socialization using PowerPoint presentations and the distribution of leaflets, with evaluation conducted by comparing the results of pre-test and post-test questionnaires based on mean values. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, from 23% in the pre-test to 77% in the post-test, exceeding the success indicator of 70%. Thus, this educational activity has proven effective in improving public understanding of the rational use of analgesics and contributes to the improvement of overall quality of life.
