Abstract

Pneumonia is inflammation caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and foreign substances that enter the lungs. The therapeutic management of pneumonia is given antibiotics to eliminate the causative bacteria and overall healing. Conceptually, levofloxacin antibiotics are considered better for pneumonia therapy than ceftriaxone. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of comparing levofloxacin and ceftriaxone antibiotics in pneumonia patients in the inpatient installation of RSD X Cirebon City. Parameters to determine the effectiveness of antibiotics based on body temperature and length of stay (LOS). This study used a retrospective cross-sectional research design. Patient data from medical records were 91 samples that met the inclusion criteria. Data analysis included patient characteristics, antibiotic use, and therapy effectiveness data. Data were tested statistically using Mann-Whitney. The results showed that the comparison of levofloxacin and ceftriaxon had different effectiveness as antibiotic therapy in pneumonia patients hospitalized in RSD X Cirebon City, except based on length of stay.

Abstract

Betel leaf (Piper betle L) is a plant widely used as a traditional medicine capable of treating various diseases without causing side effects due to bioactive compounds, one of which is phenolic. This research aims to identify the chemical compounds present in the ethanol extract and determine the total phenolic content of the ethanol extract of betel leaf (Piper betle L). The research method employed is an experimental approach, which includes plant material processing, ethanol extract preparation through maceration and Soxhlet extraction, characterization analysis, phytochemical screening, and determination of the total phenolic content of the ethanol extract of betel leaf using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The betel leaf extract was prepared using maceration and Soxhlet extraction. The obtained extract was concentrated using a rotary evaporator. Subsequently, the total phenolic content was determined using Visible Spectrophotometry. The phytochemical screening of the ethanol extract of betel leaf revealed the presence of chemical compound groups such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids or triterpenoids, and glycosides. Total phenolic content was determined by determining the wavelength of gallic acid and operating time, measuring the gallic acid calibration curve, and calculating the total phenolic content using visible spectrophotometry. The results of the total phenolic content determination for the maceration extract were 19.61 ± 0.19716 mg GAE/g, and for the Soxhlet extraction, it was 29.79 ± 1.91040 mg GAE/g.

Abstract

Natural ingredients have been widely used in medicine, commonly referred to as "back to nature," meaning "kembali ke alam." Herbal medicine is recognized as one of the most practical and effective treatment modalities available. One medicinal plant is the stem of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk., which belongs to the Myrtaceae family and has the potential as an antibacterial remedy. To ensure traditional medicine fulfills its responsibility, scientific research, such as toxicity testing, is necessary. The Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) is a preliminary test to assess the toxic effects of plants. This study aims to determine the secondary metabolite compounds, toxicity levels, and antibacterial activity of ethanol extract and n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa stem. The study includes characterization, phytochemical screening, and toxicity testing by observing the mortality rate of Artemia salina Leach larvae, expressed as LC50. Antibacterial testing against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was conducted using the disc diffusion method. The results of phytochemical screening of simplicia powder, ethanol extract, and n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa stem tested positive for alkaloids and triterpenoids/steroids. Simplicia powder, ethanol extract, and the ethyl acetate fraction also contained secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The toxicity test results using probit analysis showed that the LC50 value of the extract was 97.6787 µg/mL, the LC50 value of the ethyl acetate fraction was 71.4331 µg/mL, and the LC50 value of the n-hexane fraction was 57.4910 µg/mL. Therefore, it can be concluded that the extract and the n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa stem are toxic. The antibacterial test results showed that the extract and the n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions exhibited inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Abstract

Karamunting leaves are a Myrtaceae family plant used as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer, and antibacterial. This research aimed to determine secondary metabolite compounds, toxicity effects, and antibacterial activity in extracts and fractions of karamunting (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk.) leaves. This research includes characteristics, phytochemical screening, a BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method toxicity test, and an antibacterial test using the paper disc method. Toxicity tests were carried out with concentrations of (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000) µg/mL, and antibacterial tests against staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were carried out with concentrations of 10, 20 and 30%. The ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction results contain alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids or steroids, tannins, and saponins. And the n-hexane fraction contains triterpenoids or steroids. Toxicity test of ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, and ethyl acetate of karamunting leaves (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk.) has a toxic effect on Artemia Salina Leach. In the ethanol extract, an LC50 value of 92.593 µg/mL was obtained, followed by the n-hexane fraction with an LC50 value of 153.3829 µg/mL. Then, the ethyl acetate fraction LC50 value was 75.9328 µg/mL. LC50 value. Based on the results obtained from the ethanol extract, the n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions of caramunting leaves (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk.) were classified in the toxic category, and the antibacterial test of the ethanol extract, the n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions of caramunting leaves (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk.) has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. The most potent inhibitory power was found in the ethyl acetate fraction with a concentration of 30% against staphylococcus aureus 16.1 mm and Escherichia coli 17.1 mm in the strong category.

Abstract

Ciplukan leaves (Physalis angulata L.) from the Seulawah Agam geothermal manifestation area exhibit strong potential as a natural antioxidant source. This study investigates the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of ethanol extract from ciplukan leaves using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The research begins with sample collection and plant determination, followed by phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity testing using the DPPH method. Phytochemical screening results reveal the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. Antioxidant activity testing using the DPPH method yields an IC50 value of 14.99 μg/mL, significantly lower than the positive control, ascorbic acid (19.40 μg/mL), indicating strong antioxidant activity. At the highest tested concentration (50 μg/mL), the extract exhibits an inhibition percentage of 81.84%, while at the lowest concentration (10 μg/mL), it shows an inhibition of 41.41%. These findings confirm that the ethanol extract of ciplukan leaves from the geothermal area possesses high antioxidant content and has great potential for applications in the development of natural-based pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.
