Abstract

Diarrhoea is a widespread gastrointestinal disorder commonly caused by microbial infection, inflammation, or impaired intestinal function. While synthetic antidiarrhoeal drugs are available, their use is often limited by adverse effects and antimicrobial resistance, prompting increasing interest in medicinal plants such as Piper betle (betel leaf). This study systematically reviewed the literature to identify secondary metabolite compounds in Piper betle with antidiarrhoeal potential and to evaluate their biological activities using Radar Chart Analysis (RCA) and Area Under Curve (AUC) methods. A systematic search was performed across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using predefined keywords. Inclusion criteria comprised studies that investigated Piper betle or its secondary metabolites, reported antidiarrhoeal or related bioactivity, and provided quantitative data suitable for comparison. Studies were excluded if they focused solely on synthetic drugs, were not available in full text, or did not report measurable metabolite data. A total of 35 eligible studies were included after screening 176 records. The findings indicate that flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, saponins, and catechins in Piper betle contribute to antidiarrhoeal effects through mechanisms that modulate intestinal motility, reduce fluid secretion, activate anti-inflammatory pathways, and exhibit antimicrobial activity. RCA and AUC analyses further demonstrated substantial variability in metabolite composition and antioxidant capacity across studies. Overall, Piper betle exhibits promising therapeutic potential as a natural antidiarrhoeal agent, although further mechanistic and clinical research is warranted.

Abstract

The unsupervised use of antibiotics continues to be a pressing public health issue because it may contribute to antimicrobial resistance and increase the likelihood of unwanted health effects. A community’s understanding of when and how antibiotics should be used is one factor that can influence self-medication practices. For this reason, research sought for eva;uatng level knowledge related to independent antibiotic use among residents of East Mamungaa Village. A quantitative descriptive observational approach was selected as it enables a clear depiction of knowledge patterns within the population. A total of 172 individuals 18–65 years asked by purposive sampling, and information was obtained using a structured questionnaire assessing knowledge of indications, safety considerations, and appropriate antibiotic use. The results indicate that 60.5% of participants possessed a moderate level of knowledge, 28.5% demonstrated a good level of knowledge, and 11.0% showed limited knowledge. These outcomes reveal that although most respondents have a basic awareness of antibiotics, important gaps remain—especially in recognizing the dangers of using these medications without clinical guidance. Accordingly, continuous community-based education efforts are needed to strengthen proper antibiotic practices and minimize the risks associated with self-medication.
