Abstract

Cardamom is one of the medicinal plants called perennial herbs from the Zingiberaceae family. Cardamom, with the scientific name Amomum compactum, contains various phytochemical compounds such as terpenoids, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, sterols, and proteins that are pharmacologically useful as an anticancer, antioxidant, and have cytotoxic activity. Testing the total content of terpenoid compounds that affect the cytotoxic activity of A. compactum fruit using Box-Behnken Design with three independent variables (solvent ratio, ethanol concentration, and extraction time) has never been studied before. Thus, this study aimed to obtain the extraction optimization conditions on the total terpenoid content and cytotoxic activity using Artemia salina Leach larvae with the response surface method, namely Box-Behnken Design with Design Expert 13.0 application. Determination of the total terpenoid content of the A. compactum fruit extract was carried out based on the standard ursalic acid, and the cytotoxic activity was carried out using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. The maximum total terpenoid obtained was 4.8970 mg UAE/g DW, and the minimum IC50 value was 38.8813 ppm. Optimal conditions for the extraction of A. compactum fruit obtained a combination of 1:8 mL/g solvent ratio, 50% ethanol concentration, and extraction time of 1 day with a desirability value of 0.772. Furthermore, the optimal extraction solution results from the Box-Behnken Design were verified and analyzed using a One-Sample T-Test. Using the Box-Behnken Design extraction optimization method, the content of terpenoid bioactive compounds with cytotoxic activity from A. compactum fruit can be optimally obtained.

Abstract

Sunda porcupine (Hystrix javanica), a native species of Indonesia, is renowned for its distinctive sharp quills enveloping its body. Despite its reputation as a spiky creature, the use of porcupine quills in traditional medicine in Indonesian society, especially for toothache and stomach ulcers, shows that there are benefits as an alternative to herbal medicine that has yet to be fully explored. Even outside Indonesia, North American porcupine quills are reported to have antibiotic properties related to the free fatty acids that coat the spines. Extracts of Sunda porcupine quills have also shown interesting antibacterial activity. Several bioactive compounds have been found in Sunda porcupine quills extract, including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and peptides. These compounds have various health benefits, such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial. In addition, the antibacterial activity test on the extract showed strong potential against the growth of gram-positive bacteria. The activities of secondary metabolites that play a role in helping wound healing are anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial/antimicrobial activities. Wound healing mechanisms involve several complex interactions of various cellular and molecular processes. Recent research has revealed the great potential of extracts from Sunda porcupine quills as a wound healing medicine. Although the potential of Sunda porcupine quills extract as a wound healing medicine has attracted attention, this research still has limitations. Critical measures, such as in vivo and in vitro testing, still need to be improved, leaving gaps in information that require further research. The challenge of an in-depth understanding of the activity and mechanisms of bioactive compounds is the focus on optimizing the utilization of Indonesia's natural potential. This article reviews the bioactive components of Sunda porcupine quills extract and their mechanism as a wound healing agent.

Abstract

Indonesia boasts a rich array of medicinal herbs, including the wungu (Graptophyllum pictum L. Griff), which is known for its potential as an anticancer and antibacterial agent. Here, we used qualitative phytochemical assays to identify bioactive compounds in various parts of the wungu plant (leaves, stem, and roots) and their efficacy in combating cancer and bacterial infections. The brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT) was used to measure anticancer properties and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. We found that the leaves contained flavonoids, triterpenoids, phenols, saponins, and alkaloids, whereas the stem and root contained steroids and alkaloids. Notably, the wungu plant exhibited no toxicity, as shown by the cytotoxicity test, indicating a lack of anticancer potential as all parts showed LC50 values exceeding 1000 ppm. However, the antibacterial assays strikingly showed efficacy against bacteria across all parts of the plants, with varying strengths from weak to strong. This study sheds light on the promising antibacterial properties of the wungu plant and its potential as a therapeutic agent.

Abstract

Starfruit leaves, which belong to the Averrhoa family and contain tannin, saponin, flavonoid, and terpenoid compounds, have been widely used in traditional medicine due to their pharmacological benefits. This study aims to investigate the effect of solvent maceration on the extraction of total phenolics from starfruit leaves and to evaluate their antioxidant activity capacity. The study utilized Wuluh starf leaves obtained from Biofarmaka IPB University, Bogor, Indonesia, in February 023. The total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant tests, such as ABTS and FRAP, were influenced by the maceration stage using solvents, such as a combination of water, ethanol, and methanol. The Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and sodium carbonate were used to determine the total phenolic content, and antioxidant tests, such as the reaction with radical cations (ABTS) and the antioxidant reaction with reduction of ferri-trpyridytriazine (FRAP), were used to evaluate the antioxidant activity capacity. The results indicate that extraction with 100% acetone solvent has the FRAP method's highest phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, with 10.6325 mg GAE/g DW and 34.26641 ± 1.82 µmol TE/g DW, respectively. On the other hand, the 50:50 ethanol:acetone solvent had the highest antioxidant activity using the ABTS method, with 100.31 ± 4.80 µmol TE/g DW. The TPC-FRAP standard curve shows a positive correlation with R2 = 0.9388, while the TPC-ABTS and FRAP-ABTS standard curves do not significant correlation with the R2 values of -0.09045 and 0.08038, respectively.

Abstract

Guava (Psidium guajava) is a popular tropical plant widely used as processed food and medicine for various diseases. This plant contains highly bioactive compounds like quercetin, flavonoids, and ferulic acid. The bioactive content can be influenced by the extraction method. However, the solvent used for extraction can also affect the bioactive content. Therefore, this study aims to determine the best solvent or combination of extraction solvents to extract guava leaves based on total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity using simplex centroid design (SCD). This research used guava leaf samples with various solvent combinations of water, ethanol, and acetone. The determination of phenolic content was determined using the TPC method, while the determination of antioxidants was conducted using the FRAP and ABTS methods. The research results showed that the highest TPC levels were produced by the solvent water : ethanol : acetone. Then the highest levels of FRAP and ABTS antioxidants were produced by the water: ethanol solvent. The solvent optimization solution obtained was using water: ethanol: acetone with a ratio of 0.462:0.436:0.102, respectively.

Abstract

Distillation time can affect the extraction of essential oils such as the rhizome of temu hitam (Curcuma aeruginosa) which has been shown to have antibacterial activity. Therefore, this study aims to determine the optimum distillation time to produce temu hitam rhizome oil with the strongest antibacterial activity. The rhizomes of temu hitam were steam distilled with different length of time every 30 minutes for 4 hours to obtain essential oil and determined the compounds contained in them using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Antibacterial activity was determined by disc diffusion against Streptococcus mutans, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. The most dominant compounds present in essential oils are eucalyptol (34.89%), epicurzerenone (20.58%), and camphor (16.90%) based on the average peak of the total distillation time. The strongest antibacterial potency was obtained in the first 30 minutes of distillation for S. mutans and E. coli, and in the seventh 30 minutes of distillation for S. aureus.

Abstract

Fungus comb is a structure made by termite colony Macrotermitinae with lots of potential because it contains secondary metabolites such as steroids, terpenoids, and saponins and compounds containing antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase properties. This study aimed to determine fungus comb extracts' fingerprint pattern, antioxidant capacity, and anti-tyrosinase activity. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used to determine fingerprint patterns. The resulting TLC pattern was processed with ImageJ and converted into a densitogram. The fungus comb was extracted with n-hexane and ethyl acetate. TLC results showed that fungus comb extracts contain steroids and terpenoids and have antioxidant properties. The antioxidant capacity assay was carried out with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl reagent. N-hexane extract had an antioxidant capacity value of 9.07 mg ascorbic acid equivalent (AAE)/g extract, while ethyl acetate extract had 6.04 mg AAE/g extract. Anti-tyrosinase activity assay was carried out with L-tyrosine and L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) as substrates. N-hexane extract had a better anti-tyrosinase activity with IC50 of 1804 µg/mL for L-tyrosine and 6784 µg/mL for L-DOPA.
