Abstract

Aphrodisiacs are substances derived from food or medicine that can enhance sexual desire. This study aimed to evaluate the aphrodisiac activity of effervescent tablet formulations containing extracts of bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) and garlic (Allium sativum L.), both individually and in combination, in male white mice (Mus musculus L.). The ICC method (Introduction, Climbing, Coitus) was applied to 25 male Wistar mice divided into five groups. Group I served as the negative control and received distilled water orally. Group II was administered an effervescent tablet solution containing bitter melon extract at a single dose of 980 mg/kg BW. Group III received an effervescent tablet solution containing garlic extract at a single dose of 150 mg/kg BW. Group IV was given a combination effervescent tablet solution at a ½:½ ratio (bitter melon extract 490 mg/kg BW and garlic extract 75 mg/kg BW). Group V received a combination effervescent tablet solution at a 1:1 ratio (bitter melon extract 980 mg/kg BW and garlic extract 150 mg/kg BW). Observations were conducted for 2 hours, recording the frequency of ICC behaviors. Data were analyzed using SPSS with ANOVA followed by Post Hoc tests. The results showed that all treatment groups exhibited significant differences in aphrodisiac activity, with the highest frequency observed in the 1:1 combination of bitter melon extract (980 mg/kg BW) and garlic extract (150 mg/kg BW) compared to other effervescent tablet formulations.

Abstract

Avocado seeds contain secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and vitamin E, which are beneficial for skin care. A body scrub is a skin care preparation in the form of a liquid emulsion consisting of an oil phase and an aqueous phase, combined with abrasive particles that function to moisturize, cleanse skin pores, remove dead skin cells, and serve as a carrier for active compounds into the skin. This study aims to formulate a body scrub containing ethanol extract of avocado seeds that meets physical quality requirements and to determine its irritation potential. The ethanol extract of avocado seeds was obtained through maceration and remaceration methods. Four formulations were prepared: F0 (base), F1 (1%), F2 (5%), and F3 (10%). Physical evaluations included organoleptic testing, pH measurement, homogeneity, spreadability, adhesiveness, viscosity, and irritation testing. The results showed that the formulated body scrub met the physical quality requirements, with irritation scores ranging from 0.3 to 1.3, indicating very mild to mild irritation.

Abstract

  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), self-medication is choosing and using modern medicine, herbal medicine, or traditional medicine to reduce or overcome a disease or disease symptoms. The implementation of self-medication must be distinct from the use of traditional medicine and conventional medicine, where preferences for drug selection are greatly influenced by knowledge and attitude factors. This research aimed to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes toward choosing traditional and conventional medicines and self-medication in the Dharma Medika Badung Pharmacy patients. The research design used was observational descriptive, and the sampling technique was carried out using the accidental sampling method. A total of 68 respondents met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The instrument in this research was a closed questionnaire with 14 questions, where the questionnaire's validity and reliability were first tested. The results showed that the level of knowledge of the respondents with "Good" criteria is 63%, "Fair" criteria is 28%, "Not Good" is 6%, and "Not Good" is 3%. Most patients at the Dharma Medika Badung Pharmacy have a good level of knowledge regarding the choice of traditional and conventional medicines, with respondents' attitudes tending to be positive towards conventional medicines compared to traditional medicines in terms of self-medication

Abstract

Infectious diseases are still a health problem throughout the world, including in Indonesia. One cause of infection that needs to be watched out for is resistance to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria. Continuous use of antibiotics can cause problems with microbial resistance. Indonesia has various plant species that can actually provide benefits but have not been specifically cultivated. Jeruju leaves (Achanthus ilicifolius) from mangrove plants contain bioactive compounds that have the potential to be antibacterial. The aim of this research is to determine the antibacterial activity of Jeruju leaf decoction and infusion against MRSA bacteria. Antibacterial activity testing uses MRSA bacteria. The results of the phytochemical screening of Jeruju leaf infusion contained secondary metabolite compounds in the form of flavonoids, tannins, saponins and quinones. Meanwhile, the results of the phytochemical screening of Jeruju leaf decoction contained secondary metabolites in the form of tannins, saponins and quinones. Based on the results of research conducted on infusions and decoctions of Jeruju leaves at concentrations of 30%, 60% and 90%, they did not have inhibitory power on the antibacterial activity of MRSA, as seen from the inhibition zone. Zero inhibition zone for MRSA bacteria. It can be concluded that the infusion and decoction of Jeruju (Achantus illicifolious) leaves do not have antibacterial activity against MRSA.

Abstract

Cocoa fruit seeds derived from the cocoa plant (Theobroma cacao L.) is one of the raw materials that are very widely used in the community either as food, beverages, or additives in the pharmaceutical field. The content of primary metabolite compounds in cocoa beans such as fat, carbohydrates, water and protein is a very important standard in determining the quality of cocoa beans.  Fat and water content is the first parameter in determining the quality and quality of cocoa beans. Gumbrih Village, Jembrane sub-district, Bali is currently one of the largest suppliers of cocoa beans in Bali for export. However, there is no data related to fat and water content.  This study was conducted with the aim of knowing the quality standards of fat content and water content in cocoa beans from Gumbrih Village, Pakutatan District, Jembrana Regency, as well as to determine the relationship between the effect of water content on fat content. The research design uses experimental research in the laboratory with the aim of analysis. Method used in this study is the analysis of fat content using the soxlhetation method with N-hexane solvent and in the analysis of water content using the gravimetric method. The results showed that the cocoa bean samples in Gumbrih Village, Pakutatan District, Jembrana Regency did not meet the quality standards with an average fat content of (55.95±1.64)% and an average water content that did not meet the quality requirements of (9.5±0.47)%.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium that is pathogenic to humans, especially in causing nosocomial infections. This bacterium has resistance to several classes of antibiotics, one of which is carbapenem and cephalosporin class antibiotics. The development of new antibiotics is an alternative in solving this case. Seaweed is one of the marine biota that has various benefits to be developed due to its primary and secondary metabolite compounds. Secondary metabolites in seaweed are used as a source of bioactive metabolites which have broad antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial activities. Bulung sangu (Gracilaria sp.) is one of the seaweeds that has biological activity as an antibacterial. This study aims to determine the antibacterial effectiveness of 70% ethanol extract of bulung sangu (Gracilaria sp.) on the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. Sangu bamboo shoots were obtained from the southern Denpasar area (Bali). Bulung sangu viscous extract was extracted using 70% ethanol by ultrasonic method for 5 minutes at 40oC. Phytochemical screening of the extract was carried out to determine the content of secondary metabolite compounds it had. Antibacterial activity testing was carried out using the well diffusion method using 3 extract concentrations namely 4%, 8% and 12%. The positive and negative controls used were chloramphenicol antibiotics and sterile aquadest. Inhibition zones were observed and expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mm). The results were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis with a 95% confidence level. The inhibition zones generated from the positive control, concentrations of 4%, 8% and 12% could inhibit Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria with the following average diameters of the inhibition zones of 25.67mm, 2.00mm, 2.67mm and 2.67mm in the weak inhibition zone category.

Abstract

  The use of ethnopharmaceutical practices remains widespread in Bali, as this knowledge has been passed down through generations. Although the Balinese people still strongly uphold their traditional healing systems and have long utilized plants as medicinal ingredients, there is still limited research documenting the diversity of plant species recorded in the Usadha manuscripts along with their therapeutic uses. This study aimed to inventory medicinal plants that are still used by the community in Banjar Saraseda, Tampaksiring, Gianyar, Bali. The study employed a descriptive design, with data collected through interviews to obtain information from respondents regarding local plant names, therapeutic uses/indications, parts of the plant utilized, and methods of preparation and application. The data were analyzed descriptively and presented in tables. Based on the ethnopharmacological survey conducted in Banjar Saraseda, Tampaksiring, Gianyar, Bali, a total of 20 medicinal plant species were recorded. The most frequently used plant parts were leaves (75%), followed by rhizomes (15%) and fruits (10%). The primary methods of preparation included boiling (65%), pounding (15%), grating, crushing, brewing, and direct use (each 5%). Based on therapeutic indications, the plants were mainly used to treat fever (20%), muscle pain and gout (20%), hypertension (20%), skin itching (10%), diabetes (10%), and to manage wounds, diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, and gastritis (each 5%). This study demonstrates that the Banjar Saraseda community in Tampaksiring, Gianyar, Bali continues to preserve traditional knowledge in the use of medicinal plants that has been inherited through generations.
