Ekor naga (Rhaphidophora pinnata (L.f) Schott) leaves have been researched and tested. So, it was known that the chemical content of secondary metabolites effect wound healing. This study aimed to determine the gel effect of ekor naga leaves extracts as a wound healing medicine. The research method evaluated organoleptic, pH, spreadability, and adhesion of gel preparations which were measured every week for four weeks. The testing of gel effect on the wound healing medicine was being performed. In 5 treatment groups namely positive control: Bioplasenton, Formula 0: negative control, Formula 1: 10% extract concentration, Formula 2: 15% extract concentration, and Formula 3: 20% extract concentration. The result obtained were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and continued by the Duncan test with a level of 95% confidence. The research results showed that formula 3 has the best wound healing effect, followed by formulas 2 and 1. The statistical results have a significant difference (p<0,05), but the results of stability observations of the formula two preparation have a stable. Evaluation value for four weeks of observation with a care effect of 95.3%. So, formula 2 is the best formula for stability and testing wound healing effectiveness.
Antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic have a very close relationship for Mellitus Diabetics. In previous research, Ekor Naga leaves (Rhaphidophora pinnata (L.f) Schott) had an antihyperglycemic effect. The effect was obtained from the presence of secondary metabolites, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. This research is expected to be a further test of the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic effects of alloxan-induced male white rats. This research used an experimental method. The treatment group was divided into four groups, namely negative control (Na CMC 0,5%), positive control (10 mg/kg BW of glibenclamide), group one (250 mg/kg BW of Ekor Naga leaves extract), and group two (500 mg/kg BW of Ekor Naga leaves extract). Data were taken from blood sugar levels on the days 0 th , 7 th , 10 th , and 14 th . Total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, and HDL levels were observed on the 14 th day. Results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA test. The followed by Duncan's test. The result of ethanol extract from Ekor Naga leaves showed antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activity in alloxan-induced rats, which had a statistically significant difference relative the negative control (p<0,05) decreased the levels of blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides. Where the best group is two (500 mg/kg BW of Extract) and followed by group one (250 mg/kg BW of Extract). We concluded that Ekor Naga leaves extract provides activity in the treatment option for patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
