The coast of Southeast Indian and the tropical part of the Western Pacific is a habitat for the tropical sea grass Enhalus acoroides. In Ekas Bay, East Lombok, E. acoroides grows well in seashores, which is important to tropical marine ecosystem. Previous research reported the pharmacological activity of E. acoroides such as antioxidant and antibacterial. E. acoroides was tested to identify their secondary metabolites using phytochemical screening. The secondary metabolites were further characterized using thin layer chromatography with specific spray reagent. The phytochemical screening identified primary metabolites such as carbohydrates and proteins. On the other hand, the phytochemical screening also detected secondary metabolites such as alkaloid, phenolic, tannin, saponins, flavonoid, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. The TLC profile with specific spray reagent confirmed the bioactive components such as phenolic, flavonoid, and terpenes in methanol extract of E. acoroides. These results had a significant impact on profiling the marine plant as a new drug candidate. The information of secondary metabolites from E. acoroides will contribute to further research in determination of antioxidant, and antibacterial activity of E. acoroides, as a promising marine drug candidate from Indonesia.
Community service activities carried out by students of Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani were carried out on August 29, 2022, taking place in a medicinal plant garden, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani which was attended by UMKM Spice Nusantara Bandung participants. The socialization carried out was the presentation and delivery of post-harvest processing materials (wet sorting, washing, drying, and dry sorting) and the standardization of traditional raw materials. Conventional medicine is a form of treatment efforts in the community to support health which is currently being recommended by the government. Communities can use the toga as an economical and efficient measure to maintain body immunity because the community can obtain and use the toga quickly and simply to maintain family health. The postharvest process greatly determines the existence of active compounds that are efficacious for treatment. Incorrect postharvest management can change, reduce, or destroy the active substance of a plant into a substance that has no therapeutic effect and can even endanger health. The results of the participant's level of understanding were carried out post-test with the results of what is the purpose of post-harvest processing (100%), the sequence of post-harvest processing (80%), what is the general drying temperature (100%), a medicinal plant has good quality and efficacy then we need to know (80%), and what is the function of the washing process (90%) with the conclusion that socialization activities can significantly increase the knowledge of participants from MSMEs regarding planting, post-harvest processing, and the properties of medicinal plants significantly.
Bungur ( Lagerstroemia loudonii Teijsm. & Binn.) belongs to the Lytrhaceae that traditionally was used as antidiabetic, antiinflammatory, antihypertensive and diuretic. Other bungur plants such as Lagerstroemia speciosa have been known for the activity as alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. Based on chemotaxonomy, the distribution of compounds in one family or genus and its activity has similarities, then tested for the activity of alpha-glucosidase of Lagerstroemia loudonii Teijsm. & Binn. The leaves and fruits was extracted by reflux using 96% ethanol. The process of fractionation by liquid-liquid extraction. Testing of alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity was performed in vitro using colorimetric method at 400.4 nm, acarbose used as standard inhibitor. The results of alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity of leaves with IC50 showed the ethanol extracts, n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water fractions respectively 262.20 pg/ml; 97.16 pg/ml; 62.73 pg/ml; 145.30 pg/ml; and fruits with IC50 showed the ethanol extracts, n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water fractions respectively 1.50 pg/ml; 3.69 pg/ml; 37.38 pg/ml; 22.59 pg/ml. IC50 standard acarbose was 10.95 pg/ml. The results of this research from Lagerstroemia loudonii Teijsm. & Binn. leaves and fruits can be developed into herbal preparations to lower blood glucose levels.
