Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacterium that frequently causes serious infections, such as skin infections, pneumonia, and sepsis. The increasing resistance to conventional antibiotics has prompted the search for alternative therapies derived from natural sources. Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) leaves are known to contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, and terpenoids, which have potential antibacterial properties. This study aims to determine the effect of varying ethanol concentrations (40%, 70%, and 96%) on the antibacterial activity of spider plant leaf extracts against Staphylococcus aureus. Extraction was carried out using the maceration method with ethanol solvents at concentrations of 40%, 70%, and 96%. Each extract underwent phytochemical screening. Antibacterial activity was tested using the well diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The inhibition zones were measured using a caliper. Data were analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey’s post hoc test. Phytochemical screening results showed that the 40% ethanol extract contained only flavonoids and tannins, while the 70% and 96% ethanol extracts contained flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, and saponins. Antibacterial testing showed that the 70% ethanol extract produced the largest inhibition zone (9.75 mm), followed by the 96% ethanol extract (7.25 mm), and the 40% ethanol extract (6.3 mm). ANOVA results indicated significant differences between groups (p < 0.05), and the post hoc test showed that the 70% ethanol extract differed significantly from the other two groups. Ethanol 70% was the most effective solvent for extracting antibacterial compounds from spider plant leaves, as it produced the highest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. These results support the potential use of spider plant leaf extract as a natural antibacterial candidate.

Abstract

Background : Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause oxidative stress and various chronic diseases. Antioxidant compounds can play a role in neutralizing free radicals. Plants as natural ingredients of traditional medicine contain secondary metabolite compounds that act as antioxidants. One of the plants used as an antioxidant is temu mangga (Curcuma mangga). The use of natural ingredients as medicine by the people in Indonesia mostly uses the boiling and steeping methods. Objective : This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of boiled and brewed temu mangga rhizome (Curcuma mangga) compared to quercetin. And to determine the content of secondary metabolites that are responsible for antioxidant activity. Method : Phytochemical screening using color reagents to determine the content of secondary metabolites including: alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and flavonoids. Antioxidant activity was measured using the DPPH method using the parameter of the Inhibitory Concentration 50% (IC50) value with quercetin as a positive control. Result : The results showed that both methods have secondary metabolite compounds that are responsible for antioxidant activity, namely: alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and flavonoids. Both methods showed very strong antioxidant activity, with IC50 quercetin, boiling and brewing method respectively of 5.62 ppm; 5.75 ppm; and 5.53 ppm. The brewing method was slightly more effective, possibly because the temperature used was lower, thus maintaining the stability of thermolabile antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids. Conclusion : Extraction method has significant effect on antioxidant activity. The brewing method can be a more optimal traditional method to maintain antioxidant properties of Curcuma mangga.

Abstract

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) is one of the plants in Indonesia that is often utilized by the community in a traditional way. Several studies have shown that consuming red beet can improve cardiovascular health and lower daily systolic blood pressure. One of the secondary metabolites that actively plays a role in beetroot is flavonoids. This study aims to determine the highest total flavonoid content in beetroot extract dried using an oven with different drying temperature variations of 60°C, 70°C, and 80°C. The extraction method in this study is maceration using 96% ethanol as the solvent. Qualitative testing was performed with a flavonoid color test using the Taubeck method and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) with ammonia vapor. The determination of flavonoid content was done using UV-Visible spectrophotometry. The results showed that beetroot contains flavonoid compounds. The flavonoid content obtained at a temperature of 60°C was 371,11 ± 0 μgQE/g sample, at 70°C it was 357,77 ± 0.0128 μgQE/g sample, and at 80°C it was 241,48 ± 0.0127 mgQE/g sample. It can be concluded that drying temperature affects the total flavonoid content found in beet tubers and the highest flavonoid content obtained is at a temperature of 60°C, which is 371,11 ± 0 μgQE/g sample.
