This study aimed to analyze the bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity of Acalypha indica L. extract against Shigella dysenteriae type 1 bacteria in vitro. This research is a laboratory experimental study consisting of six concentration treatments, namely: (K = 0/ml, P1 = 100/ml, P2 = 200/ml, P3 = 400/ml, P4 = 800/ml, P5 = 1600 mg/ml ), and five replications each. The results showed that the herbal extract of Acalypha indica L. was bacteriostatic (inhibiting) at a concentration of 400 mg/mm, and bactericidal (killing) the bacteria Shigella dysenteriae type 1, which was tested in vitro at a concentration of at least 800 mg/ml. It is necessary to study the effect of Acalypha indica L. herbal extract from Timor in the serum of Rattus norwegicus against bacteria that cause bloody diarrhea (EHEC O157:H7, and Shigella dysenteriae type 1), MRSA bacteria, and other pathogenic bacteria.

A number of 2,3-di-O-acyl derivatives (6-11) of methyl 4-O-acetyl-a-Lrhamnopyranoside (5) obtained by using various acylating agents were screened for in vitro antifungal activity against four plant pathogenic fungi, viz., Alternaria alternata, Curvularia lunata. Fusarium equiseti and Macrophomina phaseolina. These compounds were also screened for in vitro antibacterial activity against ten human pathogenic bacteria, viz., Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, INABA ET (Vibrio), Pseudomonas species, Salmonella paratyphi, Shigella dysenteriae and Salmonella typhi. The study reveal that these 4-O-acetyl-?-L-rhamnopyranoside derivatives are more prone towards antifungal activities than that of antibacterial activities.
