Abstract

Clove leaves contain antioxidant compounds such as saponins, flavonoids, tannins, sterols, and essential oils. Among those chemical constituents, eugenol, eugenol acetate, caryophyllene, and sesquiterpenes were believed to have aphrodisiac activity. This study aims to investigate the potential aphrodisiac effects of the ethyl acetate fraction of clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum L) administered at a dose of 250 mg/kg BW. The research employed an experimental method with a modified post-test randomized controlled group design and utilized a total of 45 white rats, consisting of 15 males and 30 females, divided into three treatment groups in a 1:2 ratio. Each group consisted of 5 male rats and 10 female rats. The three groups included the healthy control group (Na-CMC 0.5%), the positive control group (treated with X-Gra 52.5 mg/kg body weight) and the treatment group receiving clove leaf extract samples at a dosage of 250 mg/kg BW. The results indicate that the ethyl acetate fraction of clove leaves contains steroids and alkaloids with mount latency (ML), intromission latency (IL) ejaculation latency (EL), mount frequency (MF), intromission frequency (IF) and ejaculation frequency (EF) of 11.40 s, 15.80 s, 6.228 s, 23.60, 14.60, and 1.60 s, respectively. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that it has the potential to be used as an aphrodisiac agent.

Abstract

The diversity of plants available in nature, the majority have the potential as a source of traditional medicine due to the presence of secondary metabolites in various parts of the plant, especially the leaves. The object of the study was clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum L.), a plant species abundant in secondary metabolites including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids/triterpenoids. This research aims to compare the profile of secondary metabolites in clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum L.) in the n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions. The research methodology includes phytochemical screening of secondary metabolites of the n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions of clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum L.) with dye reagents and LC-HRMS analysis. Phytochemical screening of the n-hexane fraction confirmed the presence of steroids, while the ethyl acetate fraction confirmed flavonoids, tannins, and steroids. The results of identification using the LC-HRMS instrument on the N-Hexane and Ethyl Acetate fractions of clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum L) using LC-HRMS contained phenolic, flavonoid and phenylpropanoid compounds. In the results of the chromatogram in the N-Hexane fraction, Rhamnetin compound was obtained which had an area percent of 0.362% with the highest area of 10954249. Meanwhile, in the results of the ethyl acetate fraction chromatogram, eugenol compounds were obtained with an area percent of 0.37% with the highest area of 33151358.
