Abstract

Background: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a global concern, prompting the exploration of alternative antibacterial agents derived from natural sources. Enterococcus faecalis is a pathogenic bacterium frequently associated with root canal treatment failure due to its high resistance level. Seminyak leaves (Champereia manillana (Blume) Merr.) are known to contain secondary metabolites with potential antibacterial activity; however, studies based on solvent fractionation remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction of seminyak leaves against Enterococcus faecalis. Methods: An experimental study was conducted through plant identification, preparation of simplicia, extraction using the maceration method with 96% ethanol, and liquid–liquid fractionation using n-hexane and ethyl acetate. Phytochemical screening was performed qualitatively and confirmed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Antibacterial activity was assessed using the disc diffusion method at concentrations of 15%, 30%, and 45% with three replications. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 10% was used as the negative control, while chlorhexidine (standard concentration) served as the positive control. Data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD post hoc test. Results: Phytochemical screening revealed that the ethanol extract contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. The n-hexane fraction predominantly contained nonpolar compounds (alkaloids and steroids), while the ethyl acetate fraction contained more diverse semi-polar compounds. Antibacterial testing showed that all samples exhibited activity against Enterococcus faecalis. The highest inhibition zone diameters at 45% concentration were 14.1 ± 0.21 mm (ethanol extract), 10.3 ± 0.17 mm (ethyl acetate fraction), and 8.5 ± 0.14 mm (n-hexane fraction). Statistical analysis indicated significant differences among treatments (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The ethanol extract, ethyl acetate fraction, and n-hexane fraction of seminyak leaves exhibit antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis. The ethanol extract showed the highest activity, followed by the ethyl acetate and n-hexane fractions. These findings suggest that antibacterial compounds are more dominant in polar to semi-polar fractions.

Abstract

Background: Bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli remain major public health problems. Resistance to conventional antibiotics has driven the search for alternative antibacterial agents from natural sources. Jeluak leaves (Microcos tomentosa L.) have been traditionally used as an antimicrobial, yet scientific evidence regarding their antibacterial activity is limited. Objective: This study aimed to perform phytochemical screening and evaluate the antibacterial activity of the ethanolic extract of Jeluak leaves against E. coli and S. aureus. Methods: This was an experimental laboratory study. Extraction was carried out by maceration using 96% ethanol. Phytochemical screening included tests for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, and glycosides. Antibacterial activity was tested using the disc diffusion method on Mueller Hinton Agar at extract concentrations of 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70%. Chloramphenicol and DMSO were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Inhibition zone diameters were measured after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C. Results: Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, and glycosides. The extract produced inhibition zones against E. coli of 6.3 mm, 9.3 mm, 12.2 mm, and 13.61 mm, and against S. aureus of 7.51 mm, 10.7 mm, 12.7 mm, and 14.28 mm, respectively. According to CLSI 2020 criteria, the 70% concentration was categorized as intermediate, while concentrations of 10–50% were resistant. The positive control was sensitive against both bacteria. Conclusion: The ethanolic extract of Jeluak leaves (Microcos tomentosa L.) possesses antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, with higher effectiveness against S. aureus than E. coli. Secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids are suggested to contribute to the antibacterial mechanism

Abstract

Background: Fungal skin infections such as pityriasis versicolor caused by Malassezia furfur remain a common health problem in tropical regions. Limitations of conventional antifungal therapy have encouraged the development of alternative agents derived from natural products. Golden trumpet leaves (Allamanda cathartica L.) contain flavonoids and iridoids with potential antifungal activity, and nanoparticle formulations are being developed to enhance the extracts’ effectiveness. Objective: To evaluate the improvement of antifungal efficacy of the nanoparticle formulation of the ethanolic extract of golden trumpet leaves against Malassezia furfur by comparing the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC), and inhibition zone diameter with the conventional extract. Methods: This experimental study employed a posttest-only control group design. Treatment groups included ethanolic extract (6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%) and nanoparticle extract (0.625%, 1.25%, 2.5%, 5%). Nanoparticles were prepared using a high-pressure homogenizer and characterized with a Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). MIC and MFC were determined using the broth dilution method, while antifungal activity was assessed using the disc diffusion method. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA at a 95% confidence level. Results: Nanoparticle characterization revealed a particle size of 367.51 nm. The MIC values for the extract and nanoparticles were 12.5% and 1.25%, respectively, while the MFC values were 50% and 5%, respectively. The highest inhibition zones for the extract and nanoparticles were 21.1 mm (50%) and 20.3 mm (5%), respectively. Statistical analysis showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in inhibition zone diameters across concentrations for both extract forms. Conclusion: The nanoparticle formulation of the ethanolic extract of golden trumpet leaves significantly enhances antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur, demonstrating equivalent inhibitory effects at concentrations ten times lower than the conventional extract. These findings indicate the potential of nanoparticle-based formulations as promising antifungal candidates.

Abstract

Gayo-origin tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum L.) are a locally cultivated tobacco variety widely grown in Central Aceh, Indonesia. Tobacco leaves are known to contain nicotine, a bioactive compound with various pharmacological and economic potentials. This study aimed to identify the nicotine content and phytochemical profile of Gayo tobacco leaf extract. The research procedures included sample collection, macroscopic and microscopic examinations, simplicia preparation, characterization of the simplicia and extract, phytochemical screening, quantitative nicotine determination using acidimetry titration, and qualitative analysis using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS). Macroscopic examination showed that the leaves were oval to round in shape, broad-surfaced, green in color, with a characteristic odor and a bitter taste. Microscopic observation revealed the presence of vascular bundles, covering trichomes, and glandular hairs in the leaf fragments. The titrimetric test showed nicotine levels of 0.95 ± 0.3% in the simplicia powder and 1.87 ± 0.45% in the ethanol extract. GC–MS analysis identified several major compounds, including nicotine (20.99%) and Labda-8(20),13-dien-15-oic acid (29.85%) as dominant components, along with minor compounds such as Quinolin, 8-amino-6-hydroxy-Quinazoline (2.39%). These findings indicate that the Gayo tobacco leaf extract contains a relatively high level of nicotine and is dominated by alkaloid and diterpenoid acid derivatives, suggesting its potential for further phytochemical and pharmacological exploration.
