Abstract Blended tea is a mixed herbal drink made from herbal plants’ leaves, roots, flowers, or stems. The blended tea that formulation has been reported in previous studies is composed of Eucalyptus leaves, cinnamon, and black tea. However, the optimum brewing conditions of Eucalyptus blended tea have not been studied. This study aims to determine the optimum brewing conditions of Eucalyptus blended tea using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Composite Design (CCD). This study used two factors, the loading per tea bag (2 g, 2.5 g, 3 g) and brewing time (2, 4, and 6 minutes). The parameters used were water-soluble extract content, color (L, a, b), and overall acceptability. The results showed that a weight of 2.48 g with a brewing time of 3.45 minutes was the optimum condition for brewing blended tea of Eucalyptus, cinnamon, and black tea.

Saintifikasi Jamu, or the scientific investigation of Jamu, is an evidence-based process to ensure the safety and efficacy of herbal medicine through health service research. Jamu has been empirically explored as a composition of various crude drugs, hence called as Scientific Jamu. Phyllanthus niruri and Sonchus arvensis are two of the 30 medicinal plants processed into Scientific Jamu. Components of the Scientific Jamu are standardized to ensure that these materials meet the predefined quality. This study was aimed to determine the specific parameters (macroscopic, microscopic, total flavonoid content, water-soluble extract content, and ethanol-soluble extract content) and non-specific parameters (loss on drying, total ash content, and acid insoluble ash content) of Phyllanthus niruri and Sonchus arvensis collected from Batu, Tawangmangu, and Bogor. The methods of the determination referred to the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia 1st Edition (2008). The results showed that Phyllanthus niruri and Sonchus arvensis from the three places did not meet the standard requirement.

ABSTRAK Penentuan kadar sari larut air dan etanol adalah metode kuantitatif untuk jumlah kandungan senyawa dalam simplisia yang mampu tertarik oleh pelarut. Kedua cara yang hampir sama tersebut didasarkan ada kelarutan senyawa yang terkandung dalam simplisia. Secara turun temurun masyarakat dayak meratus dan dayak amandit menggunakan kumpai mahung (eupathorium inulifolium h.b.&k) sebagai obat diare dan malaria. Masih jarang penelitian menggunakan tanaman ini, sehingga peneliti bertujuan untuk mengetahui kadar sari larut air simplisia serbuk dan ekstrak daun kumpai mahung dengan metode yang telah ditetapkan oleh farmakope herbal. Hasil penelitian kadar sari larut air dan kadar sari larut etanol tanaman kumpai mahung pada serbuk memiliki nilai 19,54% dan 16,13%. Pada ekstrak memiliki nilai 19,53% dan 14,55%. Tumbuhan yang satu family yaitu asteraceae menyebutkan bahwa kadar sari larut air tidak kurang dari 5%, yang berarti hasil memenuhi persyaratan materia medika indonesia.Kata kunci: Sari Larut Air, Sari Larut Etanol, Kumpai Mahung, AsteraceaeABSTRACT Determination of water-soluble and ethanol extract contents is a quantitative method for the amount of compound content in a simplicia that can be attracted by the solvent. Both methods are almost the same based on the solubility of the compounds contained in simplicia. For generations, the Meratus and Amandit Dayak communities use kumpai mahung (Eupathorium inulifolium H.B. & K) as a medicine for diarrhea and malaria. Research is still rare to use this plant, so researchers aim to determine the content of water-soluble extract of simplicia powder and mahung kumpai leaf extract by the method established by herbal pharmacopoeia. The results of the research showed that the concentration of water-soluble extracts and ethanol soluble extracts of this plants on the powder had values of 19.54% and 16.13%. The extracts have values of 19.53% and 14.55%. One family plant, Asteraceae, states that the water-soluble extract content is not less than 5%, which means the results meet the requirements of Indonesian medical material.Keywords:  Water Soluble Extract, Ethanol Soluble Extract

Purun Danau (Lepironia articulata (Retz.) Domin) has been shown to have antimalarial and antioxidant activity. This study aimed to standardize simplicia and extract of L. articulata by determining the value of its specific and non-specific parameters. A sampling of L. articulata rhizome was carried out in Guntung Manggis, Haur Gading, and Halat. The standardization method used was based on the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia and the General Standard Parameter of Extract. The organoleptic observations showed that L. articulata simplicia was reddish-brown in color, chelated taste, and had a specific odor. Microscopic observation showed parts of this plant: epidermis, cortex, endodermis, parenchyma, bundle vessels, and scalariform vessels. Ethanol-soluble extract content was 10.00-12.66%, water-soluble extract content 8.03-10.87%, drying shrinkage 7.10-7.33%, total ash content 2.03-2.52%, acid-insoluble ash 0.33-0.42%, Pb content 5.698-9.989 ppm, Cd content 0.300-0.500 ppm, Hg content 0.070-0.090 ppm. Ethanol extract of L. articulata rhizome contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, and saponins. The yield obtained was 8.05-11.23%, total ash content was 1.58-1.67%, acid-insoluble ash was 0.23-0.33%, and water content was 7.10-8.50%.

We isolated a water-soluble extract, PG101, from cultured mycelia of Lentinus lepideus. Treatment of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with PG101 increased levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10, and IL-12 by 100- to 1000-fold, whereas GM-CSF and IL-18 were activated by an order of magnitude. On the contrary, IFN-γ and IL-4 were not affected. The response to PG101 occurred in a dose- and time-dependent manner. From the human PBMCs treated with PG101, TNF-α was a first cytokine to be activated, detectable at 2 hr post-treatment followed by IL-1β at 6 hr post-treatment. IL-12 and IL-10 were the next to follow. GM-CSF and IL-18 both showed significant increases 24 hr after treatment. When PBMCs were sorted into various cell types, monocyte/macrophages, but not T and B cells, were the major target cell type responsive to PG101. Consistent with this result, the profile of cytokine expression upon PG101 treatment was comparable between PBMCs and a human promonocytic cell line (U937), whereas cell lines of T cell and myeloid origins did not respond to PG101. Data from a transient transfection assay involving specific reporter plasmids indicated that cellular transcription factor such as NF-κB, but not AP-1, was highly activated by PG101. Results from a gel retardation assay and the experiment involving a specific NF-κB inhibitor confirmed the involvement of NF-κB. Despite its significant biological effect on various cytokines, PG101 remained nontoxic in both rats and PBMCs even at a biological concentration approximately 20 times greater. PG101 demonstrates great potential as a therapeutic immune modulator.
