Development of medical plants as an alternative treatment needs support in terms of scientific evidence to increase public confidence in its efficacy and to ensure the safety of its use. Recent research on Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f) Ness dan Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr show that the combination of these two extracts has a potential to be developed into antihyperglycemic agent, through the mechanism of action as an antioxidant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant effect of these two extracts combination. Extraction was done by maceration method. Testing of free radical capture activity was carried out by the DPPH method. The results of the antioxidant activity test showed that the combination of soluble ethanol extract of A. paniculata herbs and G. procumbens leaves 50:50 had the best IC50 value of 91.418 µg/mL, the combination of soluble ethanol extract 75:25 had IC50 value 117,059 µg/mL, and the combination combination of soluble ethanol extract 25:75 had the weakest IC50 of 142,277 µg/mL. The three comparisons of the combination were weaker in antioxidant activity compared to the standard vitamin C which had IC50 3,546 µg/mL. Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA obtained significant differences in antioxidant activity of the three comparison groups.
Carica papaya is widely used as a traditional medicine society. Papaya leaves contain saponins, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, and tannins which are believed to be antibacterial compounds. Objective to determine the antibacterial activities polar fraction of papaya leaf ethanol extract (Carica papaya Linn.) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Simplicia was extracted by ethanol 70% with the maceration method. Ethanolic extract was fractionated with ethanol water. Kirby Bauer diffusion method agar was used for antibacterial activities. The variable of this study was the concentration of the ethanol-water fraction of papaya leaf ethanolic extract (Carica papaya Linn.) 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 100% and the growth inhibition zone of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The data obtained were analyzed using the One Way ANOVA statistical method. Data analysis using the One Way ANOVA statistical test showed a significant difference in the treatment group to the zone of inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria (sig=0.000). The zone of inhibition of the ethanol-water fraction against Staphylococcus aureus was the most optimum at a concentration of 100% at 14.75 mm, while the most optimum for Escherichia coli was at a concentration of 100% at 11.53 mm, but did not effective than positive control Chloramphenicol. Conclusion the ethanol-water fraction of papaya leaf ethanol extract (Carica papaya L.) could inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria.
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.
