Abstract

Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is a plant that contains flavonoids. Based on previous studies, it has been reported that flavonoid compounds have antipyretic activity. The aim of this study is to test the antipyretic effect of bitter melon leaf extract (Momordica charantia L.). This study uses a laboratory experimental research design employing male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) as the test subjects. Bitter melon leaf extract was administered at different doses, namely 3.6 mg, 7.2 mg, and 14.4 mg. Each rat was induced to have a fever with a 0.2 ml intramuscular dose of the DPT vaccine. Temperature measurements were taken before and after induction for 2-3 hours and every 30 minutes until the 180th minute. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and LSD tests. The research results indicate that the ethanol extract of bitter melon leaves (Momordica charantia L.) has an antipyretic effect that can lower the body temperature in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) at a dose of 3.6 mg.

Abstract

Immunomodulators are drugs that can modify immune responses and stimulate natural defense mechanisms. Natural immunomodulator preparations are an alternative solution to using synthetic immunomodulators, because they are safer and have minimal side effects. The immunomodulatory in this research was made from underutilized pineapple skin. This research is focused on finding out the best formulation with varying concentrations of starch as a filler for immunomodulatory preparations from pineapple peel ethanol extract. Research methods include: pineapple peel preparation, extraction of secondary metabolite compounds from pineapple peel with ethanol solvent, phytochemical testing, capsule preparation formulation, and evaluation. Evaluation of capsule preparations: weight uniformity test, disintegration time test, flow velocity test, angle of repose test, and moisture content test. Phytochemical test results show that pineapple peel ethanol extract contains terpenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids and tannins which have potential as immunomodulators. Formulation 1 has test results for angle of response, flow time, stable humidity, uniform weight, and does not break easily. Therefore, formulation 1 (starch 59.58 mg) is the best natural immunomodulator preparation from pineapple peel.

Abstract

Green betel leaves are known to contain tannin and flavonoid compounds which have the potential to provide anti-inflammatory effects. This study aims to determine the effect of ethanol extract of green betel leaves with several variations as an anti-inflammatory on edema of white rat’s paw induced by 1% formaldehyde given intraplantarly. Animals that had been induced by formaldehyde were given ethanol extract of green betel leaves after 30 minute,then the diameter of the rat's paw edema was measured using a caliper. The results showed that the negative control experienced an increase in the percentage of inflammation by 77.87% which was significantly different from the positive control, while the extract test group with doses of 25 mg/200gBW, 30 mg/200gBW, and 40 mg/200gBW could provide a decrease in the percentage value of inflammation respectively. - respectively 34.07%, 21.76%, and 4.80% and all three were not significantly different from the positive control (Asymptotic significance≥0.05). Based on research results, ethanol extract of green betel leaves can provide anti-inflammatory effects at a dose of 40 mg/200gBW as the best dose in reducing the diameter of rat paw edema.

Abstract

Sponges are one of the components of coral reef biota that are quite widespread. Almost 75% of the sponge species found in the waters are classes of Demospongiae. Asymmetrical in shape, demospongiae grow in various sizes from small to more than 2 meters. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of Phyllospongia lamellosa obtained using DPPH method. The results of data analysis of % inhibition values are 20 ppm concentration (41.80%), 40 ppm concentration (43.78%), 60 ppm concentration (46.65%), 80 ppm concentration (47.25%), 100 ppm concentration (48.42%). This shows that the Phyllospongia lamellosa sponge sample obtained from Parentek Beach, Minahasa Regency has antioxidant effectiveness but is not active because the highest percent inhibition value at a concentration of 100 ppm is only 48.42%.

Abstract

A bacterial skin infection that is often experienced by everyone, especially in adolescence, is acne(Acne vulgaris). Acne is caused by the accumulation of excess oil in the skin, thus becoming a medium for bacterial growth, which causes acne. The use of natural antibiotics can be a therapeutic option in the treatment of acne. One of the plants that potentially has antbacterial activity is Pinang Yaki (Areca vestiaria). The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of areca nut fruit against the growth of Propionibacterium acnes that causes acne. The test of antibacterial activity of areca nut extract with the pitting method found that at a concentration of 10% the antibacterial activity was included in the weak group, 20% was included in the medium group, while those included in the strong group in inhibiting the growth of Propionibacterium acnes were extracts with concentrations of 40%, 60% and 80%..

Abstract

Excessive amounts of free radicals will cause pathological effects that result in degenerative diseases. The free radical oxidation process can be neutralized by antioxidants. Antioxidants are compounds that have the ability to eliminate, clean and resist the effects of free radicals. Matoa leaf plants are used as traditional medicine to treat various diseases. The leaves of matoa contain active compounds in the form of saponins, flavonoids and tannins. Flavonoids can act as antioxidants because they can provide an electron to free radicals. The aim of this research was to determine the total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of matoa (Pometia Pinnata) leaf ethyl acetate extract which was tested using the DPPH free radical reduction method. The extraction process was carried out using the maceration method using ethyl acetate solvent in a ratio of 1:5. Determination of total flavonoid levels was carried out by adding AlCl3 and sodium acetate reagents. The antioxidant activity test was carried out using the DPPH free radical reduction method with quercetin as a comparison. Analysis was carried out using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Research shows that the yield of matoa leaf ethyl acetate extract was 20.7161 grams. Ethyl acetate extract of matoa leaves contains chemical compounds in the form of saponins, flavonoids and tannins. The total flavonoid content obtained from the ethyl acetate extract of matoa leaves was 6.19% and the IC 50 value was 34.21 ppm, while quercetin as a comparison had an IC 50 value of 4.75 ppm. Ethyl acetate extract of matoa (Pometia Pinnata) leaves has a total flavonoid content of 6.19% and very strong antioxidant activity, the same as quercetin as a comparison.
