Abstract

Drug misuse is an urgent public health issue, often arising from a lack of knowledge about proper medication use. Research shows that over half of the medications worldwide are used irrationally. The DAGUSIBU program (Dapatkan, Gunakan, Simpan, Buang or known as Get, Use, Store, Dispose) was developed as a solution to address this issue by providing education on proper medication management. This community service activity was organized by the Pharmacy Study Program and the Pharmacy Professional Education Program (PSPPA), Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FKIK), Universitas Mataram, on August 9, 2024, at Kesuma Catholic High School in Mataram. The primary goal of this activity was to teach students the correct ways to obtain, use, store, and dispose of medications, as well as to introduce the pharmacist profession and the Pharmacy program at UNRAM to high school students. The activity included interactive presentations on DAGUSIBU, an introduction to the pharmacist profession, and a quiz competition as an evaluation method. The quiz encouraged active student participation, with prizes to boost motivation. Despite challenges such as varying levels of student comprehension and time constraints, the activity successfully improved students’ understanding of rational drug use and introduced career opportunities in pharmacy. Overall, this activity proved effective in raising student awareness and knowledge, positively impacting their health literacy.

Abstract

Indonesia, as a maritime nation, possesses numerous mangrove ecosystems that have significant potential for exploring their benefits. One species of mangrove that has attracted attention is Avicennia marina, which contains various bioactive compounds. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the bioactive components of the Avicennia marina plant and its biological activities, particularly its therapeutic potential and benefits in the pharmaceutical field. We conducted a literature search to find relevant articles in the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases using the keywords: plant identification + Avicennia marina; compound identification + Avicennia marina; biological activity + Avicennia marina. The bioactive content from the leaves, fruits, stems, and roots of Avicennia marina has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. This effect is strongly correlated to the presence of active metabolites of triterpenes, terpene alcohols, diterpenes, tannins, dodecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, phenolic compound, flavonoid, squalene, and phytol. This indicates that Avicennia marina is a promising natural source for further research in the development of a new drug. Our finding further the notion of Avicennia marina as a potential medicinal plant.
