Abstract

Bougainvillea leaves are often used by the public as a treatment by drinking boiled water, but their use as a blood sugar-lowering agent is not supported by scientific data. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of reducing blood glucose levels and to determine the dose of extract that is effective in in white rats. The plant's herbal extract was prepared using the reflux method with 90% ethanol solvent. This study uses a laboratory experimental method to compare blood glucose levels in white rats before and after administration of herb extract at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg BW orally using high-fat feed induction and streptozotocin. Blood glucose levels were measured using a glucometer, and mice were declared positive for diabetes with fasting blood sugar levels above 126 mg/dL. The number of test animals used in this study was 30 mice, divided into 6 groups. A randomized block design was used as the research design. The study's findings revealed that administering Bougainville spectabilis willd herb extract at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg BW can reduce blood glucose in test animals with an effective dose of 200 mg/kg BW

Abstract

Wuluh star fruit plant (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) was a traditional medicinal plant that was rarely utilized as a natural medicine and contained many secondary metabolite compounds, one of which was tannin. This study aimed to determine the type of tannin and the amount of tannin content in belimbing wuluh leaves. Wuluh star fruit leaf powder was extracted by the maceration method using 96 % ethanol solvent, and then the filtrate was concentrated by rotary evaporator. Identification of tannin types in the extract was performed using CH3COOH 10 %, (Pb(CH3COO)2) 10 %, HCl, FeCl3, and KBr. For analysis of tannin content, Folin-Ciocalteau reagent and 15 % Na2CO3 solution were added, and then analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 765 nm. The results of the identification of tannin types showed that belimbing wuluh leaves included condensed tannins, and the results of the analysis showed that the tannin content was 7.282 mg/g extract.

Abstract

The small bungur plant (Lagerstroemia indica L.) is one of the plants with potential as a medicinal plant. Almost all parts of this plant can be used, namely the leaves, stems, fruit and roots. Bungur leaves can be used for skin diseases, leaf powder for malaria, and decoction of old leaves for diabetes. Bungur leaves contain chemical compounds, one of which is flavonoids. This study aims to determine the total flavonoid content of extracts from young and old leaves of local cherry blossoms (small bungur), using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The extraction method used was multistage maceration using three different solvents: hexane (nonpolar), ethyl acetate (semipolar), and methanol (polar). The results showed that the average total flavonoid content of young leaf extracts and old leaves of small bungur, measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a maximum wavelength of 410 nm, was 8.810 mg/100g and 7.301 mg/100g, respectively. Among the three solvents used, extracts of young and old leaves of small bungur using hexane and ethyl acetate do not contain flavonoids, whereas extracts of young and old leaves of small bungur using methanol do.
