Research  on  the  development  of  botanical  pesticides  should  be developed  through  new  methods,  such  as  by  inhibiting the  activity  of  digestive enzymes  by  secondary  metabolites.  The  aim  of  this  study  was  to  identify some  of  potential  plants  as  a  source  of  tannin-protein  complexes  to  inhibitthe  activity  of  - amylase.  The  study  of  identification  of  potential  plants producing  the  active  ingredient  tannin-protein  complex  was  divided  into  three stages,  1)  identification  of  potential  plants  producing  tannin,  2)  isolation  of tannin-protein  complexes,  and  3)  in  vitro  test  of  tannin-protein  complexes effect  of  the  -amylase activity.  Some  of  the observed  plants  were  sidaguri  leaf (Sida rhombifolia), melinjo leaf (Gnetum gnemon), gamal leaf (Gliricidia sepium),lamtoro  leaf  (Leucaena  leucocephala) ,  betel  nut  (Areca  catechu) ,  and  crude gambier  (Uncaria  gambir) a s  a  source of  tannins  and  melinjo  seed was  used  asprotein  source.  Betel  nut  and  melinjo  seed  were  the  best  source  of  tannin-protein  complex,  tannin  content  1.77  mg  TAE/mL  with  antioxidant  activity  of  90%,the  ability  to  inhibit  the  activity  of  -amylase by  95%  with  IC 50  values  of 10 mg/mL.Key words: Tannin, protein, -amylase, botanical pesticides,Areca catechu, Gnetum gnemon.

This research was conducted to prove the ability of betel nut extract (Areca catechu) in causingdegradation of sperm motility on rats (Rattus norvegicus) strain Wistar. This research used 2-3 monthsage, 200-250 g body weight of male white rats Rattus norvegicus strain Wistar. The rats were dividedinto 5 groups in equal number, 3 rats each group. They were a control group without treatment and 4treatment groups which were given different doses of betel nut extract for 7 days, i.e., 1, 2, 3, and 4 g/200g body weight respectively. The result showed that increasing doses of betel nut extract can result indegradation of sperm motility significantly (P0.05).Keywords: Areca catechu, Rattus norvegicus, sperm motility

PENGARUH PEMBERIAN EKSTRAK BIJI PINANG (ARECA CATECHU L.) TERHADAP WAKTU PERDARAHAN PASCA EKSTRAKSI GIGI PADA TIKUS JANTAN WISTAR (RATTUS NORVEGICUS L.) ABSTRAK Biji pinang (Areca catechu L.) merupakan salah satu tanaman obat yang dikenal masyarakat dapat menghentikan perdarahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ekstrak biji pinang terhadap waktu perdarahan pasca ekstraksi gigi pada tikus jantan galur Wistar. Pada penelitian ini metode yang digunakan merupakan eksperimental. Ekstrak biji pinang didapatkan dengan cara maserasi dan penguapan menggunakan Rotary vacuum evaporator. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 24 ekor tikus jantan galur Wistar yang dibagi dalam 3 kelompok. Sampel penelitian kelompok perlakuan terdiri dari 8 ekor tikus jantan galur Wistar. Delapan sampel kelompok perlakuan diberi ekstrak biji pinang dosis 13,834 mg/200 g BB. Perhitungan dosis menggunakan tabel faktor konversi. Proses ekstraksi gigi tikus dilakukan setelah 4 jam pemberian ekstrak. Pemeriksaan waktu perdarahan dimulai saat gigi telah terlepas dari soket dengan melihat darah yang keluar sampai mulai terbentuknya bekuan darah pada soket. Perhitungan waktu perdarahan menggunakan stopwatch. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rerata waktu perdarahan kelompok perlakuan yaitu 0.6125 (menit.detik). Rerata waktu perdarahan kelompok perlakuan tidak jauh berbeda dengan rerata waktu perdarahan kelompok kontrol positif yang diberi transamin yaitu 0.3475 (menit.detik) dan lebih singkat dari kelompok kontrol negatif etanol 96% dengan rerata waktu perdarahan 1.79 (menit.detik). Penelitian yang telah dilakukan menyimpulkan terdapat pengaruh pemberian ekstrak biji pinang (Areca catechu L.) dosis 13,834 mg/200 g BB terhadap waktu perdarahan pasca ekstraksi gigi pada tikus jantan galur Wistar. Kata kunci: Biji pinang, waktu perdarahan, ekstraksi gigi THE EFFECT OF BETEL NUT (Areca catechu L.) EXTRACT ON BLEEDING TIME AFTER EXTRACTION IN WISTAR MALE RATS (Rattus norvegicus L.) ABSTRACT The betel nut (Areca catechu L.) is a medicinal plant known by society to halt bleeding. This study was aimed to know the effect of betel nut extract administration on bleeding time after teeth extraction in Wistar male rats. This study was an experimental study. Betel nut extracts were obtained by maceration and evaporation using Rotary vacuum evaporator. The number of samples were 24 Wistar male rats divided into three groups. The treatment group consisted of 8 Wistar male rats. Eight samples of treatment group were fed with betel nut extract at dosage of 13,834 mg/200 g body weight. Dosages were calculated using conversion factor table. The rats teeth were extracted 4 hours after betel nut extract administration. Evaluation of bleeding time was started from the loss of extracted teeth from socket by observing the shed blood to the formation of blood clots in the socket. The bleeding time was calculated using stopwatch. Study results indicated that average bleeding time in treatment group namely 0.6125 (minute.second). The average bleeding time in treatment group did not differ significantly from average bleeding time in positive control group fed with transamine namely 0.3475 (minute.second), and shorter from negative control group fed with 96% ethanol with average bleeding time of 1.79 (minute.second). This study concluded that there was an effect of betel nut extract (Areca catechu L.) administration at dosage of 13,834 mg/200 g body weight on bleeding time after teeth extraction in Wistar male rats. Keywords: Betel nut, bleeding time, teeth extraction
