“…In a previous study, the extract showed a high concentration ranging from 0.25 to 0.5 mg/mL effective against B. cereus, B. subtilis, E. coli, K. pneumonia, M. luteus, S. aureus and S. typhi respectively. Methanol extract has value of MIC in range of 0.5 to 2.0 mg/mL (Seniya et al, 2011).The aqueous, ethanolic and acetonic extracts of root of C. gigantea impart sufficient inhibitory actions against the test microbe ranging from 10 mm to 16 mm diameter inhibitory zones (Kori and Alawa, 2014). Hence, compared to the earlier reports, a good inhibition was achieved in the present study.…”

“…Maximum inhibition efficiency was observed against K. penumoniae at 500 µg/mL. The bacterial strains B. cereus and S. aureus were susceptible to plant extracts with zone of inhibition (≥20 mm) diameter respectively (Seniya et al, 2011) and out of the hexane and benzene extracts only limited inhibition was observe in benzene extract against the E. coli only (Kori and Alawa, 2014).…”

“…This observed was in hand with a previous report of Singh et al (2014) who reported large number of bioactive secondary molecules like alkaloids, tannins, saponin, flavonoids, glycoside in the leaf extract. It was reported that, saponins were the only phytochemical extracted from root using various solvents (Kori and Alawa, 2014). The n-hexane extracts were poor in their phytochemical contains.…”

A b s t r a c t A r t i c l e I n f oThe leaves and root samples of Calotropis gigantea were screened for its antimicrobial and phytochemical activities. Solvent extraction was performed using solvents namely methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and hexane. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, phenols and tannins in both root and leaves extracts. In leaves, anthraquinone was present. In case of hexane only alkaloids, tannins and carbohydrates were present. Antimicrobial activity was performed against opportunistic pathogenic bacterial strains such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia using the disc diffusion method. The methanolic extract of root of Calotropis gigantea inhibited P. aeruginosa with a maximum zone of inhibition (18 ± 0.5 mm) at the maximum concentration tested. Hexane extract exhibited low inhibition activity. Similarly, the methanolic extract of leaves exhibited a zone of inhibition of 27± 0.8 mm against P. aeruginosa. The results were compared with standard antibiotics ampicillin, vancomycin and tetracycline. In present study, methanolic extract was found to exhibit effective anti-bacterial properties which could be attributed to the presence of phytochemical present in the extract.

“…The use of C. gigantea latex against toothache, caries, and chest colds [38], and that of the dried and burned stem against inflamed tonsils [36] is supported by the substantial inhibitory effects of aqueous and/or ethanolic extracts of the sap of the plant on the growth of various pathogenic bacteria as well as yeast species [87,88]. Aqueous, methanol, ethanol, and petroleum ether extracts of the leaves of the plant also exerted broad antimicrobial activity against cultured bacterial strains [88], clinical isolates of Candida species [89], and the plant-pathogenic The Contribution of Javanese Pharmacognosy to Suriname's Traditional Medicinal… DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.97732 fungus Fusarium mangiferae that can cause serious damage to mango cultivations [90].

The Republic of Suriname (South America) is among the culturally, ethnically, and religiously most diverse countries in the world. Suriname’s population of about 600,000 consists of peoples from all continents including the Javanese who arrived in the country between 1890 and 1939 as indentured laborers to work on sugar cane plantations. After expiration of their five-year contract, some Javanese returned to Indonesia while others migrated to The Netherlands (the former colonial master of both Suriname and Indonesia), but many settled in Suriname. Today, the Javanese community of about 80,000 has been integrated well in Suriname but has preserved many of their traditions and rituals. This holds true for their language, religion, cultural expressions, and forms of entertainment. The Javanese have also maintained their traditional medical practices that are based on Jamu. Jamu has its origin in the Mataram Kingdom era in ancient Java, some 1300 years ago, and is mostly based on a variety of plant species. The many Jamu products are called jamus. The first part of this chapter presents a brief background of Suriname, addresses the history of the Surinamese Javanese as well as some of the religious and cultural expressions of this group, focuses on Jamu, and comprehensively deals with four medicinal plants that are commonly used by the Javanese. The second part of this chapter continues with an equally extensive narrative of six more such plants and concludes with a few remarks on the contribution of Javanese jamus to Suriname’s traditional medicinal pharmacopeia.
