Abstract

Solanaceae is a family of flowering plants with 83 genera and 2,925 species spread throughout the world. People reuse natural medicines that have been passed down from generation to generation because medical medicines have a big tendency to cause many side effects. This research aims to examine the pharmacological effects and toxicity of plants in the Solanaceae family. This research used 10 plant species, including potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), golden berries (Physalis angulata L.), tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.), red chilies (Capsicum annuum L.), cayenne peppers (Capsicum frutescens L.), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), paprika (Capsicum annuum var. grossum), amethyst (Datura stramonium L.), Turkey berry (Solanum torvum Sw.), and black nightshades (Solanum nigrum L.). The journal search method used in this research is the Boolean System method (AND and OR) using the Google Scholar and Sinta databases. The results obtained from this research were that among the 10 plant species of the Solanaceae family studied, there were 3 pharmacological effects with the most data modes, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant effects.

Abstract

Dental caries infection is one of the most common dental health problems caused by Streptococcus mutans bacteria. The use of synthetic antibiotics in the treatment of infection risks causing bacterial resistance, so a safer alternative, natural treatment, is needed. Citronella leaves (Cymbopogon Nardus L.) and lime leaves (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) contain active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins that have antibacterial activity. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the combination of extracts of the two plants against the growth of Streptococcus mutans. The type of research used is laboratory experimental with Completely Randomized Design, consisting of 5 treatments and 4 repetitions. The antibacterial test was carried out by disc diffusion method using a combination concentration of extracts P1 (2.5%: 7.5%), P2 (12.5%: 5%), and P3 18.75%: 2.5%), negative control (distilled water), and positive control (tetracycline). The test results showed that the P3 produced the best inhibition against Streptococcus mutans with an average inhibition zone of (6.02 ± 0.46) mm and fell into the moderate category. Data analysis using the ANOVA test resulted in a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), which indicated there were significant differences between treatments. Further tests using Tukey HSD showed that the P3 was significantly different compared to the other treatments. Thus, the combination of citronella and lime leaf extracts is proven to have potential as a natural antibacterial against the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria.

Abstract

Fungal infections are common health problems, one of which is caused by Candida albicans. The use of synthetic antifungal agents in treatment can lead to side effects and resistance risks, thus necessitating safer natural alternatives. Papaya leaves (Carica papaya L.) and basil leaves (Ocimum x africanum Lour) are known to contain active compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, and tannins, which have potential as antifungal agents. The combination of these two plant extracts was used to enhance antifungal effectiveness through possible synergistic effects of their active compounds, with the expectation of yielding a more optimal inhibitory effect against Candida albicans. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a combination of papaya and basil leaf extracts in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans. The research was conducted experimentally using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatment groups and four replications. The antifungal activity was tested using the disc diffusion method with extract combinations formulated in 96% ethanol at concentrations of (18.75% : 18.75%), (37.5% : 12.5%), and (56.25% : 6.25%), as well as a negative control (aquadest) and a positive control (ketoconazole 15 μL). One-Way ANOVA analysis showed a significant difference between treatments (p < 0.05). Further analysis using Tukey HSD revealed no statistically significant differences between the three extract combination groups. However, P3 exhibited the highest inhibition zone (4.73 ± 0.91 mm), while P1 showed the lowest (3.45 ± 0.65 mm), and P2 was intermediate (3.98 ± 0.65 mm). All three combinations showed statistically significant differences compared to the negative control (0 mm) and the positive control (6.50 ± 0.83 mm). Thus, although no significant difference was observed between the combination groups, all combinations demonstrated statistically significant antifungal activity against Candida albicans compared to the negative control. In conclusion, the combination of papaya and basil leaf extracts possesses antifungal activity against Candida albicans, although the effectiveness is not yet optimal. Further research is recommended with increased extract concentrations and development into pharmaceutical dosage forms such as gels or ointments as alternative topical antifungal treatments.

Abstract

Body scrub is a skincare product used to exfoliate dead skin cells and accelerate skin regeneration. Natural ingredients such as robusta coffee powder (Coffea canephora), which contains caffeine, act as a natural exfoliant, while turmeric rhizome extract (Curcuma longa L.), which contains curcuminoids, functions as an antioxidant and skin brightener. This study aimed to formulate a body scrub using varying concentrations of robusta coffee powder and turmeric extract, and to evaluate its physical properties, stability, and consumer preference. An experimental method was used with five formulations: F1 (10% coffee), F2 (10% turmeric), F3 (7%:3%), F4 (8%:2%), and F5 (9%:1%). Evaluations included organoleptic testing, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, cream type, viscosity, stability, and hedonic testing. Results showed that all formulations met the criteria for good physical quality. Based on hedonic tests, F1 was the most preferred in terms of color, while F4 was most favored for aroma and texture, making it the best formulation with no significant difference (p>0.05). This study supports the development of natural body scrubs using local ingredients that are safe and effective.

Abstract

Skin damage due to UV exposure and pollution can trigger the formation of free radicals that accelerate the process of premature aging. The use of natural antioxidants in cosmetic products to combat free radicals serves as an alternative to synthetic antioxidants, which often cause side effects. Agarwood leaves (Aquilaria malaccensis L.) are known to contain groups of active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, saponins, and terpenoids that have potential as antioxidants. This study aims to formulate and evaluate the face mist preparation of ethanol extract from agarwood leaves in three different concentration variations: FI (5%), FII (6%), and FIII (7%). The research was conducted experimentally in the laboratory, covering the stages of plant determination, maceration with 96% ethanol, phytochemical screening, formulation of preparations, physical evaluation (organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, specific gravity, spreadability, spray condition, drying time, protection, and stability through cycling tests), as well as antioxidant activity testing using the DPPH method with UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results showed that all formulations had good physical characteristics and were stable using the cycling test method, except for FII which was unstable in the specific gravity test. The IC₅₀ values of each formulation were FI at 28.138 mg/L, FII at 21.871 mg/L, and FIII at 19.387 mg/L, categorized as very strong antioxidants and the three formulations had significant differences with a p-value of ˂0.05. The conclusion of this research is that the FIII formula (7%) is the best formula because it has high antioxidant activity, is stable physically and chemically, and has the potential as a natural cosmetic product that protects the skin from free radicals.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin production. Natural remedies, such as soursop leaves (Annona muricata) (SL) and garlic (Allium sativum) (GAR), are known for their antihyperglycemic properties. This study aimed to investigate the effects of SL and GAR extracts, individually and in combination, on reducing blood glucose levels in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. A total of 24 male Wistar rats were divided into six groups, receiving treatments of either metformin, SL, GAR, or their combination for seven days following alloxan administration to induce hyperglycemia. Blood glucose levels were measured before and after induction, and post-treatment on day 15. The results showed that the combined extracts exhibited better antihyperglycemic activity compared to individual treatments, with the most effective dose being 26.3 mg/kg BW SL + 31.5 mg/kg BW GAR.

Abstract

Candida infection caused by Candida albicans is a common health problem, especially in the skin and female reproductive organs. In Indonesia, the prevalence of candidiasis is around 20–25%, with a predominance in the hair, skin, mucous membranes, mouth, and esophagus. In Lampung Province, candidiasis incidents include severe intertrigo (56%), mild intertrigo (44%), axillary candidiasis (52%), and breast candidiasis (20%). This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of a combination of garlic bulb (Allium sativum L.) and red betel leaf (Piper ornatum N.E.Br) extracts against the growth of Candida albicans. This study used a laboratory experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting of a negative control (distilled water), a positive control (fluconazole), and a combination of extracts with a ratio of 20%:20%, 20%:40%, and 40%:40%. The extract was obtained through maceration method, and antifungal activity was measured based on the inhibition zone. Phytochemical tests showed the presence of active compounds such as saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and steroids that act as antifungals. The results of the disc diffusion test showed the average diameter of the inhibition zone as follows: 0 mm (negative control), 6.49 ± 1.05 mm (positive control), 2.9 ± 0.26 mm (P1, weak), 4.15 ± 1.57 mm (P2, weak), 5.68 ± 2.73 mm (P3, moderate), and 6.81 ± 1.92 mm (P4, moderate). Statistical tests showed significant differences between negative and positive controls and treatments 2 and 3. In conclusion, the combination of garlic and red betel leaf extract, especially P4, has antifungal potential against Candida albicans.
