Abstract

Chromolaena odorata L. has bioactive compounds that can be used as raw medicine materials. Bioactive compounds from Chromolaena odorata L. are reported to have pharmacological and antibacterial properties. This study aims to  the antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity testing used the agar diffusion method using paper discs with 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 µg/disc extract concentrations. Based on the results obtained, the ethanol extract of Chromolaena odorata L. has antibacterial activity of S. aureus with inhibition zone diameters of 12.14, 11.99, 12.63, 12.62, and 13.85 mm.

Abstract

Sea grapes (Caulerpa racemosa) contain various secondary metabolites with bioactive compounds that function as antibacterial agents. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract from sea grapes (Caulerpa racemosa) against Helicobacter pylori. The method used was the agar diffusion technique with paper discs at four different extract concentrations: 500 µg, 600 µg, 700 µg, and 800 µg per disc. Extraction was carried out through maceration using 96% ethanol as the solvent, and antibacterial activity was assessed based on the formation of inhibition zones around the discs. The results showed that all extract concentrations exhibited very strong inhibitory effects on the growth of H. pylori, with inhibition zones of 27.23 mm, 28.51 mm, 29.91 mm, and 31.51 mm, respectively. The higher the extract concentration, the larger the inhibition zone formed. Based on antibacterial activity categorization, Caulerpa racemosa extract demonstrates potential as a strong antibacterial agent against Helicobacter pylori.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is one of the important pathogens that can cause various types of infections, ranging from mild ones such as folliculitis and impetigo to life-threatening conditions such as nosocomial pneumonia, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, sepsis, and toxic shock syndrome. Due to its ability to develop resistance to antibiotics, new alternative treatments are needed, one of which is from natural ingredients. In this study, the antibacterial activity of Scleria sumatrensis extract was tested against Staphylococcus aureus with a concentration variation of 100 - 500 µg / disc. The results showed that at a concentration of 100 ?g / disc, the extract provided antibacterial activity in the moderate category, while at a concentration of 200 to 500 ?g / disc, the activity produced was included in the strong category. These findings indicate that Scleria sumatrensis extract has the potential as a natural antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus aureus, so it is worthy of further development as an alternative therapy for infections caused by S. aureus bacteria.

Abstract

Avocado seeds (Persea americana) have long been used in traditional medicine and are empirically believed to reduce fever. This study aimed to evaluate the antipyretic activity of an avocado seed infusion in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced with peptone. The infusion was prepared using distilled water at 90 °C. The antipyretic test consisted of five groups: a negative control (Na-CMC), a positive control (paracetamol), and three treatment groups receiving avocado seed infusion at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/200 g body weight. Fever was induced by intramuscular injection of 5% peptone (1 mL/200 g body weight). Rectal temperature was recorded at 30-minute intervals for 3 hours. The results showed that all treatment doses reduced rectal temperature after 180 minutes. The greatest reduction was observed at a dose of 300 mg/200 g body weight, with a decrease of 2.16 °C, indicating that avocado seed infusion exhibits dose-dependent antipyretic activity.
