Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of different solvents on the antioxidant activity of red fruit seed extract (Pandanus conoideus Lam). It was analysed using the DPPH assay and UV–Vis spectrophotometry. Samples were extracted using the maceration method with various solvents, namely 96% ethanol, n-hexane, and ethyl acetate. The yield results showed that ethanol, n-hexane, and ethyl acetate extracts yielded 18%, 12%, and 11%, respectively. Phytochemical screening tests showed that ethanol extracts contained flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins. The n-hexane extract contained alkaloids, while the ethyl acetate extract contained alkaloids and saponins. Antioxidant activity was assessed based on the IC₅₀ value of the ethanol extract, which showed antioxidant activity with an IC₅₀ value of 54.67 μg/mL, categorised as a very strong antioxidant. The ethyl acetate extract had an IC₅₀ value of 19.92 μg/mL, categorised as strong, while the n-hexane extract showed the highest IC₅₀ of 9.40 μg/mL, categorised as very strong. These differences indicate that solvent polarity affects the amount and type of bioactive compounds extracted, thereby affecting the ability to capture free radicals. Thus, these results indicate that n-hexane solvent provides the strongest antioxidant activity in red fruit seed extractsc.

Abstract

The high prevalence of anemia prompted us to explore the potential of local herbs in Papua, Indonesia, which is known for its rich natural resources. In this study, we aim to conduct preclinical tests on anemia model test animals to validate the effectiveness of akway bark extract (ABE) as the basis for the development of effective and safe herbal antianemia drugs in the future. This study employs a quantitative analytical approach, utilizing an experimental design with a pre-posttest with a control group design. The research sample used 20 mice test animals, divided into 5 groups consisting of 4 animals each, namely: the control group (positive and negative), and the intervention group using ABE doses of 10, 30, and 50mg/kg. This study was approved by the Health Research Ethics Committee of STIFAR Makassar (Number: 299/EC.1.1.B/III/KEPK/2024). Data analysis showed that a 14-day intervention using ABE was able to increase Hb levels (D% = 52.00±27.13 [ABE dose 10mg/kg]; 49.72±7.86 [ABE dose 50mg/kg] and 42.82±12.75 [ABE dose 30mg/kg]) significantly (p<0.05) when compared with the negative control (D% = 4.54±5.14), but when compared with the positive control (D% = 52.57±10.85) the average increase in Hb levels was not significant (p>0.05). In conclusion, our study showed that mice of the anemia model, intervened using ABE at doses of 10, 30, and 50mg/kg once daily for 14 days, experienced increased Hb levels.

Abstract

Background: Mature coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.) has the potential as a health drink but is often discarded as waste. Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus L.) is an endemic plant of Papua that is rich in antioxidants. The combination of both is expected to produce a beneficial herbal syrup preparation. Objective: To formulate a combination syrup of mature coconut water and red fruit extract and to determine its antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Methods: Red fruit extract was obtained by maceration using 96% ethanol. Phytochemical screening was performed on both ingredients. The syrup was prepared with the addition of sugar, citric acid, vanilla, and CMC. Physical evaluation included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, and clarity tests. Antioxidant activity was tested using the DPPH method at a wavelength of 517 nm using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Results: Phytochemical screening showed that mature coconut water contains alkaloids, while red fruit extract contains flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids. The syrup evaluation met SNI requirements: organoleptic (reddish-orange color, characteristic odor, sweet taste), homogeneous, pH 5–6, viscosity 250 mPa·s, and clear. The IC50 values of the syrup in three consecutive replicates were 550.34 μg/mL, 2282.3 μg/mL, and 2863.4 μg/mL, which are classified as weak antioxidant activity (IC50 > 200 ppm). Conclusion: The combination syrup of mature coconut water and red fruit extract exhibits weak antioxidant activity but meets the physical quality standards of the preparation. This preparation has the potential to be developed as a herbal health drink.

Abstract

Indonesia is recognized as one of the world’s megabiodiversity countries, possessing a vast diversity of medicinal plants that have long been utilized in traditional medicine. Nelambo suon (Rubiaceae) is an indigenous plant traditionally used by the Tehit Imian tribe in South Sorong, Southwest Papua, for treating wounds, skin infections, and inflammatory conditions. However, scientific information regarding its phytochemical profile and antioxidant activity remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of Nelambo suon leaves using the DPPH method. Fresh, undamaged green leaves were dried at room temperature without direct sunlight and extracted by maceration using 96% ethanol. Phytochemical screening was performed to identify major secondary metabolites, while antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay and expressed as IC₅₀ values. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids and tannins in the ethanol extract, whereas alkaloids, saponins, steroids, and terpenoids were not detected. The antioxidant assay demonstrated a concentration-dependent increase in radical scavenging activity. The ethanol extract of Nelambo suon leaves exhibited an IC₅₀ value of 83.7 µg/mL, indicating strong antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that Nelambo suon leaves are a promising source of natural antioxidants, likely attributed to their flavonoid and tannin contents. This study provides preliminary scientific evidence supporting the traditional use of Nelambo suon and highlights its potential for further development as a natural antioxidant agent in pharmaceutical and herbal product applications.
