Abstract

Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is one of the plantations commodities in Indonesia. The most abundant part of the cacao plant are the brown leaves. Cacao leaves contain several secondary metabolite compounds, one of which is tannin. Tannin has several properties, such as being astringent, antidiarrheal, antibacterial, and antioxidant. This research aims to determine the comparison of tannin compound levels from the ethanol extract of cacao leaves (Theobroma cacao L.) using the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. Samples were taken from three areas, namely Jeneponto, Wajo, and Malino. This research method begins with sample preparation by maceration with a 96% ethanol solvent, then a qualitative analysis test is carried out using the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) method, and a quantitative analysis test is carried out by standard measurement of tannic acid and determination of tannin content using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a maximum wavelength of 756 nm. The results showed that the ethanol extract of cacao leaves (Theobroma cacao L.) was positive for containing tannin compounds and had total tannin levels in the Jeneponto area (86.244 mgEAT/g extract), Wajo (79,417 mgEAT/g extract), and Malino (79.365 mgEAT/g extract). From the results above, it shows that the ethanol extract of cacao leaves from the Jeneponto area contains the highest levels of tannin compounds compared to the other two areas.

Abstract

Avocados are plants that can grow well in tropical environments like Indonesia. People love this fruit because of its high antioxidant content and its delicious taste. The aim of this study was to measure the antioxidant activity of three extracts of ethyl acetate of avocado seeds (Percea americana Mill.) using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. The measurement was done using a quersetin as a reference standard with a maximum wavelength of 516 nm. The results of the study showed that the sample's half inhibitory concentration (IC50) value was 1,653.89 g/mL, 1,202.56 g/ mL, and 903.08 g/mL for two, four, and six hours, respectively.

Abstract

The flowers of the kasumba turate (Carthamus tinctorius Linn.) has the potential as an antioxidant because it contains flavonoid compounds that can ward off free radicals. This study proposes and evaluates a pharmaceutically stable scrub from kasumba turate water extract. This study used an experimental method by extracting kasumba turate using an infusion method. The scrub formulation is made using a variety of emulgators, namely anionic emulgator amin soap (stearic acid and triethanolamine), nonionic emulgator (span 60 and tween 80) and anionic emulgator detergent (sodium lauryl sulfate). Physical stability tests were conducted before and after the condition accelerated for 10 cycles covering organoleptic, homogeneity, pH and viscosity. All scrub preparations that have been tested meet the criteria of each test both before and after the conditions accelerated, but the viscosity measurement results show that the formula using anionic emulgator amin soap is more stable physically, so it can be concluded that the water extract kasumba turate can be made into a stable scrub formula.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition characterized by increased levels of uric acid due to dysfunction in production or excretion. Uric acid is the product of purine catabolism originating from the degradation of purine nucleotides that occur in all cells. The first-line treatment for hyperuricemia is allopurinol. have side effects so that the use of traditional medicine with natural ingredients can be used as an alternative treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop compounds with xanthine oxidase inhibitor activity derived from natural plants with lower side effects. Xanthine oxidase is an enzyme that plays a role in catalyzing the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and uric acid. Qust al hindi contains several chemical compounds including flavonoids, steroids, terpenes, alkaloids, sesquiterpenes, costunolide, dehydrocostus lactone, cynaropicrin, and chlorogenic acid. This review will discuss the qust al hindi plant which has the potential to be an antihyperuricemia drug using the library study method. Data search was carried out using online search engine instruments such as Google, PubMed and Science Direct.

Abstract

Free radicals are molecules that do not have an electron pair in the outer shell, making them highly reactive. Oxidation due to free radicals can be prevented and inhibited by substances, namely antioxidants. Natural antioxidants are obtained from plants or fruits, one of which is Qust al hindi (Saussurea lappa).  Qust al hindi is a plant native to India that is used as a traditional medicine. Qust al hindi contains various phytochemical compounds, one of which is flavonoid compounds that function as antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to analyze the antioxidant activity of water and ethyl acetate fractions of qust al hindi plant roots by 1,1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) silencing method using UV-Vis spectrophotometry based on the calculation of IC50 value using GraphPad Prism Application. The results of this study indicate that the water and ethyl acetate fractions of qust al hindi plant roots have antioxidant activity against DPPH free radicals with IC50 values of 203.5 µg/mL; 193.3 µg/mL, respectively, which are included in the very weak and weak antioxidant groups.

Abstract

Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.), which belongs to the Pandanaceae family, is widely used by local Papuan people as a source of food, natural dyes, and traditional medicinal ingredients. Red fruit contains several compounds such as tannins, vitamin C, beta carotene, and flavonoids. This research aims to determine the presence of antioxidant activity using the Cupric Ion Reducing Antioxidant Capacity (CUPRAC) method. Antioxidant capacity using the CUPRAC method is expressed as mg of ascorbic acid equivalent (AAE) per g of juice (mgAAE/g). The method is measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer with the maximum wavelength. Ascorbic acid was used as a comparison to assess the antioxidant ability of red fruit juice. The results showed that the antioxidant activity capacity of red fruit juice was 100.4 mgAAE/g. Thus, red fruit can be developed as a natural antioxidant.

Abstract

Bajakah tampala root (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk.) contains phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids and saponins. Flavonoid compounds have pharmacological effects, namely anti-inflammatory. The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-inflammatory activity of ethanol extract of bajakah tampala root by inhibiting protein denaturation in vitro using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and diclofenac sodium as positive control. The extract was prepared by maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. The results showed that the ethanol extract of bajakah tampala root had a percentage of inhibition of 31.27% at the lowest concentration (10 ppm) and 43.28% at the highest concentration (50 ppm) with an IC50 value of 77.92 µg/mL and the ic50 value of diclofenac sodium is 12.26 µg/mL. The percentage of inhibition that is more than 20% is considered to have inhibitory power in the protein denaturation process. So, it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of bajakah root has potential as an anti-inflammatory.
