Abstract

Meniran root (Phylanthus niruri L.) and tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) have flavonoid compounds that function to repair pancreatic tissue damage caused by DNA alkyl groups from alloxan induction. This study aims to determine the activity of a combination of meniran root extract (Phylanthus niruri L.) and tamarind leaves (Tamarindus indica L.) on blood glucose levels of male rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by alloxan. This study was carried out experimentally. White rats up to 15 heads were divided into 5 groups. Alloxan induction at a dose of 125 mg/kgBB intraperitoneally to cause pancreatic damage was performed in 5 treatment groups. Three treatment groups were treated with different doses of a combination of meniran and tamarind root extracts, (P1) 7.5 mg/KgBB, (P2) 10 mg/KgBB and (P3) 15 mg/KgBB, one group as negative control (K-) was given 1% Na CMC and positive control (K+) was given 5 mg glibenclamide. The combination of meniran root extract (Phylanthus niruri L.) and tamarind leaf (Tamarindus indica L.) was given for 1 day. Glucose levels were checked after 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours and 24 hours of administration. The results showed that the three concentrations of a combination of meniran root extract (Phylanthus niruri L.) and tamarind leaf (Tamarindus indica L.) can reduce the blood glucose levels of male rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by alloxan.

Abstract

Bidara arab leaf (Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Desf) is one of the plants that have the potential as an anti-acne. The content of secondary metabolites contained in bidara arab leaves include alkaloids, polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. These secondary metabolites can inhibit the growth of acne causing bacteria, namely Propionibacterium acnes. The purpose of this study was to create a good gel dosage form of the ethanol extract of bidara arab leaves and to test the antibacterial activity of the gel formulation against Propionibacterium acne. This research method was carried out experimentally on a laboratory scale, namely ethanol extract of bidara arab leaves made in the form of anti-acne gel preparations with several concentration, including F1(1%), F2 (3%), and F3 (5%). Then proceed with the evaluation of the preparation with organoleptic test, homogenity test, pH test, adhesion test, and dispersion test. Anti-acne gel preparations had antibacterial activity based on a concentration of 1% of 12.46 mm (strong), 3% of 13.66 mm (strong), and 5% of 14.71 mm (strong), negative control had no inhibition zone and positive control 20.92 mm (very strong). strong) So, it can be included that the formulation of anti-acne gel preparations able to inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes.
