“…Several studies have presented plants as alternative to conventional drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases [19–21]. Beside their efficacy against resistant strains, plants are acclaimed to have phyto compounds that have very little or no adverse effects compared to conventional drugs [22, 23]. Traditional healers have always combined several herbs in a bid to harness the therapeutic effects of more than one plant to cure diseases.…”

Objectives This study examines the rationale, if any, behind combining the extracts from the fruits of Alchornea cordifolia and Pterocarpus santalinoides and aerial parts of Cassytha filiformis in the traditional treatment of diarrhoegenic bacterial infections. Results Four diarrhoegenic bacterial isolates: Salmonella typhi, Shigellae dysenteriae, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were used and their antibiotic susceptibility screening showed that they were multi-antibiotic resistant. The extracts exhibited activity against all the test isolates with minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging from 3.125 to 12.5 mg/mL. From the checkerboard assay, the fractional inhibitory concentration indices showed that C. filiformis has antagonistic and indifference activities in combination with either P. santalinoides or A. cordifolia. This showed that the combination of extracts from the fruits of A. cordifolia and P. santalinoides and aerial parts of C. filiformis is counterproductive and invalidates any claim for positive results in the management of diarrhoegenic bacterial infections.

“…Typical kampo medicines are composed of five to nine different plants, with the most commonly used ones being Glycyrrhiza uralensis radix (Chinese licorice root), Zingiber officinale rhizome (ginger rhizome), Poria cocos (pachyme mushroom), and Paeonia lactiflora radix (Chinese peony root) [46]. Kampo medicines have been conventionally prescribed for numerous health conditions due to their promising effects against viral infections, acute and chronic pain, chronic hepatitis, allergic rhinitis, anemia, gastric cancer, hypertension, fever, hypercholesterolemia, and oral diseases/disorders, among others [46][47][48].…”

Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) can be synthesized by green methods using plant extracts. These methods are more environmentally friendly and offer improved properties of the synthesized NPs in terms of biocompatibility and functional capabilities. Traditional medicine has a rich history of utilization of herbs for millennia, offering a viable alternative or complementary option to conventional pharmacological medications. Plants of traditional herbal use or those with medicinal properties are candidates to be used to obtain NPs due to their high and complex content of biocompounds with different redox capacities that provide a dynamic reaction environment for NP synthesis. Other synthesis conditions, such as salt precursor concentration, temperature, time synthesis, and pH, have a significant effect on the characteristics of the NPs. This paper will review the properties of some compounds from medicinal plants, plant extract obtention methods alternatives, characteristics of plant extracts, and how they relate to the NP synthesis process. Additionally, the document includes diverse applications associated with CuNPs, starting from antibacterial properties to potential applications in metabolic disease treatment, vegetable tissue culture, therapy, and cardioprotective effect, among others.

“…Sering kali jerawat ini menjadikan seseorang mengalami penurunan rasa kepercayaan diri, timbul rasa cemas, bahkan depresi yang berujung menutup diri lingkungan (Yuliana dkk., 2023) Jerawat merupakah penyakit kulit kronis akibat gangguan pilosebaceous dari bakteri Propionibacterium acnes. Jenis bakteri ini melepaskan lipase yang menghasilkan asam lemak yang kemudian mencerna sebum (kelenjar minyak) pada permukaan kulit sehingga menyebabkan peradangan pada kulit dan menimbulkan tumbuhnya jerawat (Komuro, 2017). Penanganan jerawat pada dasarnya dapat diatasi dengan memakai antibiotik dalam mencegah terjadinya inflamasi serta pertumbuhan bakteri, seperti tetrasiklin, eritromisin, doksisiklin, dan klindamisin, metode ini umumnya diaplikasikan di klinik kecantikan.…”

Acne vulgaris is a skin condition performed the acne due to bacterial activity that infects the skin. Acne problems are often the cause of a person that decrease in self-confidence. One of the most common acne-causing bacteria is Propionibacterium acnes. P.acnes is a gram-positive bacterium with its morphological, shape, properties and composition classified in the group of corynebacteria, but this type of bacteria is not toxigenic or bacteria that does not produce toxic substances (toxic). One of the materials that can be used for acne medication is banana peel. Banana peels are residual waste products from domestic industrial production. The waste of Banana peels have potential as an antibacterial. They contain secondary metabolites such as phenolics, quinones and flavonoids which can act as antibacterials. The purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial activity of raw kepok banana (Musa acuminata) peel extract against Propionibacterium acne bacteria as a cause of acne. Antibacterial activity test in this study was carried out using the well diffusion method to see how the antibacterial effect of raw kepok banana peel (Musa acuminata) had on the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. Kepok banana peel extracts were fractionated with hexane, ethyl acetate and water. The results of the antibacterial activity test for the three fractions showed that the water fraction of kepok banana peel extract represented the best inhibition zone of 10.02 ± 0.05 mm, 11.28 ± 0.13 mm, 12.38 ± 0.02 mm and 16.97 ± 0.36 with a strong category at successive concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%.
