Abstract

Jamu Susut Perut is a traditional Indonesian herbal preparation widely used as a complementary therapy to support weight loss and reduce abdominal fat. It commonly contains medicinal plants such as Guazuma ulmifolia (Jati belanda), Curcuma longa (Turmeric), Zingiber purpureum (Bangle), Murraya paniculata (Kemuning), Orthosiphon aristatus (Cat’s whiskers), Gallae (Majakanis), Areca catechu (Betel nut), and Piperis folium (Betel leaf). These plants are rich in bioactive compounds including flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, and saponins, which possess lipolytic, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties that may enhance fat metabolism and lower blood lipid levels. This study aims to identify the phytochemical compounds in Jamu Susut Perut (X) using the Harborne method and to determine its toxicity against shrimp larvae (Artemia salina Leach) through the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). The LC₅₀ (lethal concentration 50%) value was calculated using probit analysis in SPSS and Microsoft Excel. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of triterpenoids, quinones, flavonoids, and saponins in the herbal formulation. The toxicity test showed that Jamu Susut Perut (X) had an LC₅₀ value of 547.92 ppm, indicating toxicity to shrimp larvae since the value is below 1000 ppm. In conclusion, Jamu Susut Perut (X) contains bioactive compounds with potential pharmacological effects but also exhibits toxic properties at certain concentrations. This research provides scientific data to ensure the safe use of Jamu Susut Perut as a traditional herbal medicine for consumers.

Abstract

Breadfruit leaves (Artocarpus altilis) contain various secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, and alkaloids which are potential bioactive compounds for therapeutic purposes. This study is an experimental laboratory research aimed at identifying bioactive compound groups and evaluating the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of breadfruit leaf extract. Extraction was carried out using the maceration method with 96% ethanol p.a as solvent. Identification of bioactive compounds was analyzed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) method, antibacterial testing by the disc diffusion method, and antioxidant evaluation using a modified Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay. The test bacteria used were Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus, gentamicin and chloramphenicol as positive controls. Ascorbic acid was used as the positive control for the antioxidant assay. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of active compounds such as Tricyclo [4.3.0.0(7,9)] nonane, trans-11-tetradecenyl acetate, ethyl tridecanoate, α-farnesol isomer, vitamin E, and β-sitosterol. The extract showed antibacterial activity against both tested bacteria, with the smallest effective concentrations of 50 mg/mL for K. pneumoniae and 25 mg/mL for S. aureus, resulting in inhibition zones of 0.3125 mm and 1.5375 mm, respectively, although these values did not meet the sensitivity criteria. The antioxidant activity test showed a potential antioxidant value of 9.84 mg AAE/g extract, using ascorbic acid as the standard curve.

Abstract

Excessive free radicals contribute to oxidative stress, highlighting the need for natural antioxidants. This study aimed to determine total flavonoid and total phenolic contents and evaluate the antioxidant activity of Wurfbainia compacta Sol. ex. Maton fruit extracts. An experimental laboratory study was conducted using sonication with 70% ethanol and 70% ethyl acetate. Total flavonoid and total phenolic contents were determined spectrophotometrically using quercetin and gallic acid as standards, respectively, while antioxidant activity was measured using the FRAP assay with Trolox as a standard. The flavonoid contents of the 70% ethanol and 70% ethyl acetate extracts were 0.651 and 0.856 mg QE/g, respectively, while phenolic contents were 46.85 and 44.56 mg GAE/g for ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts, respectively. The antioxidant capacities of the 70% ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of cardamom fruit were 345.58 and 454.24 mg TE/g, respectively.
