Wed, 31 May 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Ethnopharmacy study is an approach used to explore local knowledge of a particular community in the use of medicinal plants. This article discusses treatment methods and medicinal plants used for the treatment and care of wounds in several regions in Indonesia. In addition, this study is also useful to find out drugs from natural ingredients related to their bioactivity. The method used is literature study, while the data used are articles, databases and textbooks published from 2011-2021. Literature information searches are carried out using electronic search engines for articles and research journals published on several sites, such as Google, Pubmed, NCBI, Elsevier, and others. The results of the data obtained concluded that there were 27 types of plant species that were used traditionally and 15 who have already undergone preclinical testing for wound treatment and care.

Review: Extraction of Temulawak Rhizome (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) and Activity As Antibacterial

Wed, 31 May 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) is one of Indonesia’s native plants belonging to Zingiberaceae family. The plant has been extensively used for treatment of various diseases such as inflammation and digestive tract swelling, gallstones, liver, dyspepsia, and antispasmodic. The rhizome becomes the plant’s part that is used the most. The rhizome contains a compound that could work as an antibacterial. An extract of the rhizome may be obtained through extraction process, some extractions that would be used in this research review is soxhletation, maceration, and ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE). As various extraction methods both involving simple and complex ones were found, it was shown that the result of extract content are therefore varied, which was also affecting the level of resulted antibacterial effectiveness. This article was carried out to analyze the most suitable extraction method of Curcuma’s rhizome that results the highest effectiveness of antibacterial activity. The method used in this article review was a literature review on the literatures published during the period of 2012 to 2022. The highest average yield was shown on maceration method which respectively was followed by soxhletation whereas the lowest yield was resulted by UAE method

Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt oil (CWJ oil) is a vegetable oil with very wide uses in food sector, cosmetics, medicines and chemical industry. Citronelal compound is one of the quality requirements that determine the quality of CWJ oil. This study aims to develop a chemometric-FTIR classification model and to determine the total citronellal content of Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt oil grown in low and medium lands. The sample used was citronella oil from Jember and Banyuwangi regions. The cleaned CWJ herbal samples were withered, chopped and distilled to produce CWJ oil. CWJ oil was scanned using FTIR spectroscopy and then the FTIR spectras were analyzed using LDA, SVM and SIMCA to form a CWJ oil classification model. The selected classification model was then validated using leave one out cross validation and external validation. The LDA classification model showed the best results with 100% accuracy of model recognition and validation. The results of the determination of total citronellal levels of CWJ oil using the hydroxylamine method showed that samples of CWJ oil from Banyuwangi had higher levels of total citronellal than samples from Jember. The average levels of total citronellal CWJ oil from Banyuwangi and Jember regions were 32.84%, and 26.06%, respectively.

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). One of the clinical signs of diabetic nephropathy is an increase in urea and creatinine levels. The use of medicinal plants containing antioxidants is one of the therapeutic strategies to prevent complications of DM. The noni plant (Morinda citrifolia L), especially the leaves, contains active substances that have the potential as antioxidants to be used as supportive therapy for DM. This study aims to identify the content of active substances in noni leaf extract and determine the potential of noni leaf extract to reduce creatinine, and urea levels in diabetic nephropathy rats. Noni leaf extract was obtained by maceration using 96% ethanol, and animal models of diabetic nephropathy were obtained by induction of streptozotocin 40 mg/kg BW. The test animals were divided into six groups, namely normal control, negative control, positive control, treatment 1, 2, and 3, each given extract doses of 250, 500, and 750 mg/kg BW. The results indicated the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, saponins, and tannins in the noni leaf extract. Giving noni leaf extract can reduce, urea and creatinine levels significantly compared to negative controls. In conclusion, noni leaf extract can potentially prevent complications of diabetic nephropathy with an effective dose of 250 mg/kg BW.
