Abstract

Minangkabau is one of the ethnics that uses plants as medicine. In this ethnobotanical study, the aim was to find out the use of plants as medicine by the people of Sijunjung. Data collection was carried out directly by interviewing native people. From the result known that there are about 42 types of plants used by the indigenous people of Sijunjung as medicine. Of the 42 types of plants used, sitawa (Costus speciosus) is the most widely used plant in the treatment of fever. Almost all plants used as medicine are taken orally.

Abstract

Identification of phytochemicals is an important preliminary test that pharmacy students need to know and understand. As is known, that natural ingredients are an important aspect that plays a role in herbal medicine. One of the most prominent uses of plants is as a medicinal ingredient. In determining the traditional use of natural materials, it is necessary to know which groups of chemical compounds are contained in natural materials. Chemical compounds contained in natural products are grouped into alkaloids, phenolics, flavonoids, saponins, steroids and terpenoids. To determine the class of compounds in natural products, it is necessary to carry out preliminary tests quickly, namely by testing phytochemicals. Phytochemical identification training is aimed at STIFI Bhakti Pertiwi Palembang students who conduct field studies at Anai Land, Padang Pariaman Regency, Padang, West Sumatra. This field study activity is held as a support for natural product chemistry lectures. Phytochemical testing was carried out in groups guided by each. Students who have received training can carry out phytochemical testing of natural ingredients as a provision for final project research.

Abstract

The search for new antibacterial agents has increasingly focused on endophytic fungi, which inhabit plant tissues and may complement the bioactivity of their hosts. Pachyrhizus erosus (bengkoang), an edible legume rich in phenolics and flavonoids, remains underexplored as a reservoir of fungal endophytes with antibacterial potential. This study aimed to isolate endophytic fungi from P. erosus and evaluate their antibacterial properties. Tuber and leaf tissues were surface sterilized, yielding five isolates (PE1–PE5) that were cultured on rice medium, extracted with ethyl acetate, and tested against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 using the Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method. All extracts inhibited bacterial growth, with PE2 showing the strongest activity (15.7 ± 1.40 mm for S. aureus and 14.4 ± 0.32 mm for E. coli). TLC profiling of PE2 extract revealed multiple spots under UV (254 and 366 nm), and phytochemical screening indicated the presence of phenolics and triterpenoids. Taken together, the results demonstrate that tuber-associated endophytic fungi of P. erosus are capable of producing antibacterial metabolites comparable to plant-derived compounds, underscoring their potential as sources of antimicrobial agents.

Abstract

African leaves (Vernonia amygdalina Delile) and kenikir leaves (Cosmos caudatus Kunth) are plants that belong to the asteraceae family. Members of asteraceae have been used in food and medicine for centuries. This study aims to determine the secondary metabolite compounds contained in African leaves extracts and kenikir leaves through phytochemical screening using Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) method detected using UV 254nm and UV 366 nm light, as well as spot revealers that match the chemical group. The results of phytochemical screening using KLT show that African leaves contain flavonoids, terpenoids. And kenikir leaf extract is positive for steroids and flavonoids, one of them which is isocuesitrin.

Abstract

Skin hyperpigmentation is a common dermatological condition characterized by excessive melanin production, primarily regulated by the enzyme tyrosinase. Natural tyrosinase inhibitors have gained increasing interest as safer alternatives to synthetic depigmenting agents. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of peel extracts and solvent fractions of three Citrus species: C. aurantifolia, C. microcarpa, and C. hystrix. Extraction was carried out using Soxhlet and fractionation with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Tyrosinase inhibition was assessed using L-DOPA as the substrate. The results showed significant differences among species and fractions. The n-hexane fraction of C. hystrix exhibited the strongest activity (IC50 34.24 ppm), followed by C. microcarpa (144.05 ppm), while C. aurantifolia showed the weakest inhibitory effect across all fractions. The high potency of C. hystrix is associated with its rich monoterpene content, while lower activity in C. aurantifolia may relate to degradation of thermo-labile flavonoids during Soxhlet extraction. These findings highlight the potential of C. hystrix peel, particularly its non-polar fraction, as a promising natural tyrosinase inhibitor for cosmetic applications.

Abstract

The gambier plant is known as a rich source of secondary metabolites with biological activities, including anticancer, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. The leaves of the gambier plant are reported to contain flavonoids, including catechins, and tannins. This study aims to analyze the metabolite profile of gambier flowers using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). Gambier flower samples were extracted by maceration using ethanol as the solvent. The resulting macerate was then fractionated using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The gambier flower extracts were tested for phytochemical content via thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and analyzed for secondary metabolite content via LC-MS for each fraction. TLC testing of the total extract yielded positive results for flavonoids, steroids, phenolics, and alkaloids. Analysis of the secondary metabolite profile of the total extract identified 6 compounds from the 14 compound chromatograms that appeared; the n-hexane extract showed 6 compounds successfully identified from a total of 20 compounds, the ethyl acetate extract showed 6 identified compounds from 17 compounds, and the n-butanol extract contained 7 known compounds from 35 compounds. From the metabolite profile analysis, it can be concluded that gambier flowers contain numerous bioactive compounds with potential for further development and can serve as a source of new knowledge in exploring plant potential. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first LC-MS-based metabolite profile of gambier flowers, an organ that has remained largely unexplored compared with the widely studied leaves; the flowers display a greater diversity of flavonoid glycosides and phenolic derivatives, highlighting their novelty and their promise as antioxidant-rich raw materials for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
