Abstract

Endophytic microbes live in plant tissues and can be extracted to obtain active compounds. One conserved endophytic microbes is endophytic mold, found in plant tissue systems, such as leaves, flowers, branches, and plant roots. The endophytic mold was obtained from the mango parasite (Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq), a parasitic plant that contains secondary metabolites. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial properties of the endophytic mold isolates extract from mango parasite leaves against Escherichia coli. This research used an experimental method with descriptive quantitative data analysis. The research began with the purification of endophytic mold isolates, production of bioactive compounds, extraction of bioactive compounds, and determination of antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method. The results obtained from this study included four isolates containing antibacterial compounds, including isolates DBM 1, DBM 2, DBM 3, and DBM 4. Extracts of the endophytic mold of mango parasite leaves showed quite good inhibition of the growth of Escherichia coli, with the results of measuring the diameter of the largest inhibition zone of 13.17 mm, which was produced by isolate DBM 1 at a concentration of 75 ppm. Based on the results of antibacterial activity tests on endophytic molds from the leaves of the mango parasite (Dendrophtoe pentandra (L.) Miq), isolates of endophytic fungi can be used as antibacterial agents in the medium renewable category.

Abstract

Soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.) are known to contain various bioactive compounds with potential antioxidant properties. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of soursop leaf extract using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method and to determine its total phenolic content using the Folin–Ciocalteu method. Antioxidant activity was assessed at extract concentrations of 500 and 1000 ppm, with quercetin used as a positive control. The results showed that the soursop leaf extract exhibited very strong antioxidant activity, with an IC50 value of 9,486 ppm. The total phenolic content of the extract was relatively high, ranging from 102,929 to 195,702 mg GAE/g extract. The strong antioxidant activity observed is likely associated with the high content of phenolic compounds, which play a crucial role in scavenging free radicals. These findings suggest that soursop leaf extract has significant potential as a natural antioxidant source for applications in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract

The presence of secondary metabolites in plants plays an important role in their biological activities and supports the use of natural ingredients as candidates for phytopharmaceutical development. This study evaluated the phytochemical profile of ethanol extracts of sente leaves (Alocasia macrorrhizos) and guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.), as well as their combined extract. The extracts were obtained using maceration, followed by qualitative phytochemical screening, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and FTIR analysis. Physicochemical parameters showed that the moisture content of sente and guava leaves was 4.251% and 4.617%, respectively, while the ash content was 0.97% for sente and 0.59% for guava leaves. The extraction yield of guava leaves (3.81%) was higher than that of sente leaves (2.59%). The results showed that A. macrorrhizos contained flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenoids, whereas P. guajava exhibited a more complete profile, including alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenoids. The combined extract yielded positive results for almost all tested metabolite groups. The UV-Vis spectra showed absorption peaks in the range of 321–369 nm, while the FTIR spectra revealed the presence of –OH, aliphatic C–H, aromatic C=C, and C–O functional groups. Overall, the findings indicate that both extracts and their combination have strong potential as sources of bioactive compounds and may be further developed for phytopharmaceutical applications.
