Abstract

African leaves (Vernonia amygdalina) are known to be one part of the plant that has antibacterial activity that has the potential to be developed as a traditional medicine. This study aims to determine antibacterial activity, the effect of increasing extracts and the most effective concentration on the inhibitory power of the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. The antibacterial activity of african leaf ethanol extract with concentrations of 5%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 80% was tested using the disc diffusion method by observing the diameter of the inhibitory zone compared to Ciprofloxacin as a positive control and CMC as a negative control. The results of measurements of the diameter of the inhibition zone concentrations of 5% (7.0 mm), 10% (9.2 mm), 20% (11.5 mm), 40% (13.8 mm), 80% (15.7 mm) in S. aureus bacteria, 5% (8.1 mm), 10% (9.1 mm), 20% (11.6 mm), 40% (13.1 mm), 80% (15.1 mm) in P. aeruginosa bacteria have provided activity to inhibit the growth of test bacteria. The results were analyzed using One Way ANOVA and continued with the Duncan test. Research shows that the higher the concentration of the extract, the greater the diameter of the inhibitory zone of bacterial growth. An extract concentration of 80% is the most effective concentration for inhibiting S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria.

Abstract

ABSTRACTDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that interferes with the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This study aims to determine the types of bioactive compounds contained in bitter melon extract and to analyze interaction of targeted compounds against the α -glucosidase enzyme using the in silico approach. The results of the analysis using Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) used to obtain information on bioactive compounds that will be used as ligands to be attached to the α-glucosidase enzyme. Furthermore, the potential ability of each compound as antidiabetic was test using PyRx application and Acarbose was its control. The results of the GCMS analysis of this study contained 23 compounds detected in the methanol extract of bitter melon. This research proves that the compound Spirost-8-en-11 one, 3 hydroxy, (3ß,5a,14ß, 20ß, 22ß, 25R) with a binding affinity of -9.0 kcal/mol and Cholesta-8,24-dien -3-ol, 4-methyl-, (3ß,4a)- with a binding affinity of -8.3 kcal/mol have a good conformation. This research can be concluded that the two compounds can be developed as antidiabetic.  Keywords: Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia), antidiabetic, α - Glucosidase enzyme, molecular docking

Abstract

Bawang dayak (Eleutherine americana Merr.) dan pinang yaki (Areca vestiaria) memiliki potensi sebagai bahan obat tradisional. Namun belum diketahui efek toksik penggunaan kombinasi ekstrak tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian oral kombinasi ekstrak bawang dayak dan pinang yaki terhadap organ ginjal tikus putih melalui pengujian toksisitas akut. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan hewan percobaan tikus putih berjumlah 18 ekor, dibagi dalam dua kelompok perlakuan ekstrak bawang dayak dosis 10,8 mg dan 14,4 mg, dua kelompok perlakuan ekstrak pinang yaki dosis 10,8 mg dan 14,4 mg, satu kelompok perlakuan kombinasi ekstrak bawang dayak dan pinang yaki dosis 21,6 mg, dan satu kelompok kontrol sebagai pembanding. Perlakuan dilakukan selama 14 hari dengan pengamatan yang dilakukan berupa pengamatan makroskopis organ ginjal, pengamatan berat badan dan berat organ. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa warna, konsistensi, dan permukaan organ pada semua perlakuan terlihat normal. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa secara makroskopik, kombinasi ekstrak bawang dayak dan pinang yaki tidak menunjukkan kerusakan organ ginjal.

Abstract

Cabai rawit (Capsicum frutescens L.) merupakan salah satu rempah yang sangat penting untuk makanan, industry, dan obat. Oleh karena itu, eksplorasi cabai rawit sebagai antioksidan alami sangat dibutuhkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan aktivitas antioksidan cabai rawit merah dari daerah Kawangkoan, Tomohon, dan Remboken menggunakan pengujian DPPH. Cabai rawit diekstraksi menggunakan teknik maserasi menggunakan etanol 70% sebagai pelarut dan pengujian antioksidan menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis pada Panjang gelombang 517 nm. Aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak cabai rawit dari Kawangkoan, Tomohon, dan Remboken secara berturut-turut adalah 80,215 ± 2,486; 100,1 ± 0,140; and 97,136 ± 0,026 µg/mL. Berdasarkan analisis data statistic, terdapat perbedaan bermakna dari ketiga sampel ekstrak cabai rawit (P>0,05), yaitu ekstrak cabai rawit dari Kawangkoan berbeda dengan ekstrak cabai rawit dari Tomohon dan Remboken (P>0,05). Namun, aktivitas antioksidan dari ketiga sampel masih dalamkategori aktivitas antioksidan kuat (IC50 50-100 µg/mL), sehingga ektrak cabai rawit memili potensi sebagai antioksidan pada makanan dan industry farmasi.
