Jurnal Jamu Indonesia (JJI) is dedicated to the exchange of information and widespread scientific understanding regarding the development of the world of herbal medicine through the publication of scientific papers. The themes of scientific papers within the scope of JJI include the theme of herbal medicine research from upstream to downstream which is not limited to ethnobotanical research and local knowledge, exploration, conservation, domestication of biological resources related to herbal medicine, variety breeding, development of Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) for herbal medicine raw materials, development of standards for raw materials and herbal medicine products, development of herbal medicine products, identification of active compounds and their synthesis, working mechanisms for the bioactivity of herbal medicine formulas, social and economic aspects related to the development of herbal medicine.

Abstract

Patients with diabetes or hypertension often take traditional medicine alongside prescribed drugs, yet little is known about how they involve pharmacists in that use. This descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled 110 adult users of traditional medicine, recruited by purposive sampling at a community health centre and a private clinic in Semarang, Indonesia, and surveyed them with a structured questionnaire. Their mean age was 59.5 ± 10.3 years, 77.3% were women and 73.6% had diabetes. Ginger (40.9%), turmeric (39.1%) and Indonesian bay leaf (34.5%) were the remedies named most often. Pharmacists were seldom involved: 78.2% of respondents had never discussed their remedies with a pharmacist, 81.8% had never asked a pharmacist for information about them and 78.2% had never reported a side effect to one. Meanwhile, 46.4% always or often combined remedies with prescribed drugs without consulting a doctor. Community pharmacists are well placed to close this counselling gap.

Abstract

Medicinal plants are widely used by Indonesian cancer patients, but the evidence behind this use differs in kind and strength. This review classified 24 studies from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and PubMed, plus ten further primary studies, by evidence level: traditional use, general toxicity, cancer-cell cytotoxicity, measured mechanism, in silico prediction and compound identification. Cancer-cell data existed for 15 of 17 taxa, almost all as crude extracts, and normal-cell controls were rare. The lowest IC50 values were 23.7 µg/mL (Caulerpa racemosa hexane extract, MCF-7) and 54.48 µg/mL (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium fruit ethanol extract, 4T1). The name bajakah covered species of three genera. Mechanisms were measured only for curcumin, Stenochlaena palustris and Ocimum tenuiflorum, and no in vivo efficacy study was found. Botanical authentication, selectivity testing, compound isolation and animal studies should precede therapeutic claims.

Abstract

Leaves of Artocarpus camansi (kluwih) are used in Indonesian folk medicine, but their effect on blood lipids, which are often disturbed in type 2 diabetes, is untested in vivo. This study evaluated an ethanol extract of A. camansi leaves in rats given a high-fat diet followed by low-dose streptozotocin. Thirty male rats formed six groups (n = 5): normal, vehicle, simvastatin, and extract at 300, 350 or 400 mg/kg daily for 14 days. Total cholesterol, measured on days 0, 14, 21, 28 and 35, rose from 43–48 to 127–141 mg/dL after induction. The extract then lowered it by a mean of 57.2%, 48.0% and 43.5% at the three doses, against 64.9% for simvastatin, while vehicle rats kept rising (group × time interaction, p < 0.001). At 300 mg/kg, final total cholesterol (53.4 ± 5.1 mg/dL) did not differ from the normal or simvastatin groups. Its active constituents remain unquantified.

Abstract

Gembili (Dioscorea esculenta) tubers are used in Indonesia mainly as a source of inulin, recovered from hot-water extracts by ethanol precipitation, but how antioxidants partition during this step is unknown. A hot-water extract (AE) was compared with its ethanol-insoluble (EIF) and ethanol-soluble (ESF) fractions for total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents and for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) activities. AE had the highest TPC (214.9 ± 6.1 mg gallic acid equivalents/g) and TFC (159.7 ± 6.5 mg quercetin equivalents/g), the lowest IC50 values (DPPH 30.0 ± 0.8; ABTS 28.5 ± 1.9 µg/mL), and the highest FRAP (269 ± 42 mg ascorbic acid equivalents/g). EIF exceeded ESF in all assays except FRAP (p < 0.001), and antioxidant capacity followed TPC across nine determinations (DPPH IC50, r = −0.94). The inulin-rich precipitate therefore retains part of the antioxidant capacity of the tuber.
