Pinus merkusii is the only species in the Pinaceae family to grow in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, and serves as a source of wood and oleoresins. During the utilization of this pine, the bark is discarded as residue, however, this residue is possibly a potential source of antifungal and antioxidant agents, due to the polyphenol contents. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the antifungal and antioxidant compounds present in the bark of P. merkusii. The ethyl acetate extracts of Pinus merkusii were fractionated to obtain five fractions (Fr. A- Fr. E) and the bioactivity of each fraction was observed. Subsequently, the growth inhibition against Phanerochaete chrysosporium, was evaluated for antifungal activity, while DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method was used to ascertain antioxidant activity. According to the GC-MS analysis, the ethyl acetate fractions contain triterpenoids and steroids as the dominant compounds as well as minor amounts of mono-sesquiterpenoids and hydrocarbons. The highest growth inhibition exhibited by Fr. C- Fr. E (>60%) indicates triterpenoids and steroids act as a fungal inhibitors. Meanwhile, the five fractions exhibited low antioxidant activity because the steroids and triterpenoids present are possibly ineffective DPPH inhibitors. Also, the antifungal and antioxidant activity R2 values were discovered to correlate 0.3, indicating a low positive correlation.

Petroleum ether, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts of Plumeria rubra leaves were studied for their antimicrobial activities against eleven human pathogenic bacteria, viz., Shigella dysenteriae, S. sonnei, Salmonella typhi, S. paratyphi, Bacillus subtilis, B. megaterium, B. cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae and four human pathogenic fungi, viz., Aspergillus niger, A. ochraceus, A. ustus and Candida albicans using disc diffusion and poisoned food method, respectively. Chloroform and ethyl acetate extract exhibited moderate to good antibacterial and antifungal activity against all the pathogens tested. The ethyl acetate extracts exhibited the largest zone of inhibition (25 mm in diameter with 2000 mg/disc extract) against E. coli. The highest inhibition of fungal radial mycelial growth (62.00% with 100 mg extract/ml medium) was recorded against A. ustus with ethyl acetate extract. The MICs were determined by broth macrodilution technique. The ethyl acetate extract exhibited the lowest MIC (750 mg/ml) against E. coli. However, for fungi the lowest MIC was 500 mg/ml against A. ustus with the same extract. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cujbs.v3i1.13409 The Chittagong Univ. J. B. Sci.,Vol. 3(1&2):87-94, 2008

Objectives: The emergence of new infections and increase in bacterial drug resistance has created a serious need for the expansion of new antibacterial agents from natural sources. The study was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial activity of fractions of ethyl acetate extract of Garcinia latissima Miq. fruits.Methods: The fractionation was done using a silica gel column and organic solvents as the eluent, i.e., n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. All fractions were assayed for antibacterial activity, which was done by performing disc diffusion for growth inhibition against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition, the growth inhibition activity was also examined by performing bioautography assay using pre-coated silica gel 60 GF 254 plates as the stationary phase. Fractions A-F were eluted using n-hexane:chloroform (1:4), while Fractions G-K were used ethyl acetate:dichloromethane (4:1) as the mobile phase. The plate was visualized by ultraviolet at λ 254 nm and 366 nm, while the other one was contacted with the inoculated agar medium to observe zone inhibition. Further, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value was determined by performing microdilution.Results: The result showed that the antibacterial activity of all fractions was more active at inhibiting the growth of B. subtilis than P. aeruginosa, mainly for Fractions H and J. However, the strongest antibacterial activity was showed by Fractions H and J against B. subtilis, MIC 312.5 μg/mL (lower than reference, which is erythromycin antibiotic (25 μg/mL), followed by Fraction D against B. subtilis MIC 625 μg/mL, Fraction K against P. aeruginosa MIC 625 μg/mL, whereas Fractions C, E, and G against B. subtilis, and Fraction E against P. aeruginosa also showed low MIC values (1.250 μg/mL).Conclusions: The results indicated that fractions of G. latissima Miq. fruit ethyl acetate extracts possessed antibacterial activity. The most active fraction that inhibited the growth of B. subtilis was shown by Fractions H and J; these fractions have the potential to be developed as new antibacterial agents.

Mangroves are the most productive ecosystems and contain highly diverse plants and microbial communities. Mangrove endophytes are proved to be a rich source of bioactive secondary metabolites. The biological molecules produced by endophytes play an important role in protection of mangrove plants against herbivores, insects as well as pathogens. The present study aimed to isolate the endophytic bacteria from the mangrove plant Rhizophora stylosa and screen antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate extracts from the isolated endophytic bacteria. A total of 64 endophytic bacterial strains from R. stylosa leaves were isolated, of which ethyl acetate extracts of 14 isolated endophytic strains showed antimicrobial activity against at least one of reference microorganisms Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 27212, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 12222 and Candida albicans ATCC 7754 with MIC values from 32 to 512 µg/ml. Among them, four strains showed activity against one reference microorganism, five strains showed activity against two reference microorganisms, four strains showed activity against three reference microorganisms, and one strain showed activity against four reference microorganisms. Additionally, the ethyl acetate extracts of 12 isolated endophytic bacteria showed ATBS and DPPH radical scavenging activity with scavenging values from 36.27 ± 2.6% to 71.46 ± 6.6% and from 26.22 ± 3.3% to 57.38 ± 5.8%, respectively. The identification of the five most active endophytic bacteria by 16S rRNA sequences revealed that the endophytes belonged to four genera, including Bacillus, Streptomyces, Pseudovibrio and Pseudomonas. The obtained results suggest that the endophytic bacteria from mangrove plants are a promising reservoir of antimicrobial and antioxidant agents.

Research on the antioxidant potential of the secondary metabolite compound, ethyl acetate from ebony bark (Diospyros celebica Bakh.) has been conducted. This study aims to characterize and determine the antioxidant activity of secondary metabolites of ethyl acetate fraction from ebony bark. Ethyl acetate extract was fractionated using Liquid Vacum Chromatography (KVC) and Gravity Column Chromatography (KKG). The isolated compounds were characterized using UV-Vis and IR spectrophotometers. Data on maximum absorption of λmax 273 nm from UV-Vis analysis showed the presence of chromophore phenol. IR spectral data showed several specific peaks, among others, at wave number (ʋ) of 3425.58 cm-1 indicating the presence of –OH group, C-H aliphatic bond at ʋ of  2924.09 cm-1  and 2854.65 cm-1, and the peak at ʋ of 1604.77 -1465.90 cm-1 and 3078.39 cm-1 indicated the aromatic group, reinforcing the assumption that the isolates produced were phenolic compounds. IC50 value of 75.47 µg/mL from antioxidant activity testing showed that the isolates obtained were antioxidant compounds with strong antioxidant categories. Keywords: antioxidant, Diospyros, ebony, phenolic, isolation

Neutralizing free radicals can use both synthetic and natural antioxidant compounds. Although synthetic antioxidant compounds are more active, but lately the use of synthetic antioxidants is being reduced because they are reported to have carcinogenic side effects. Natural antioxidant compounds found in plants are phenolic groups such as flavonoids, tannins, xanthones, and anthraquinones. This compound is widely found in the genus Cratoxylum where one of the species is pucuk idat (Cratoxylum glaucum). Pucuk idat are often used by people of Bangka as a flavoring dish and are believed to be traditional medicine to facilitate breastfeeding, tighten skin, treat fever, cough, and diarrhea. The increasing of antioxidants needs and lots efficacy of pucuk idat, hence this study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate extract Cratoxylum glaucum. The antioxidant test in this study used the DPPH (Diphenylpicrylhydrazyl) method and vitamin C as a positive control. The results of this study indicate that the extract of ethyl acetate Cratoxylum glaucum has strong antioxidant activity with value IC50 32,213 μg / mL. Phytochemical content itself includes hydroquinone phenols (tannins), flavonoids, and steroids. This shows that ethyl acetate extract Cratoxylum glaucum can be used as natural antioxidant.

Poliomintha longiflora is a Mexican oregano, which has not been widely studied. This work aimed to describe the chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities present in P. longiflora essential oil (EO), the hydrosol from EO extraction and extracts from waste solid residues (WSRs), identified as ethanol extract, ethyl acetate extract and the subfractions of ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts. The chemical characterization of the EO, hydrosol and WSR extracts was performed by GC–MS and HPLC. Their antioxidant activity was evaluated using two methods, and their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, and Salmonella Typhimurium. Thirty-one chemical components were identified in the EO. The subfractions from the ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts contain methylmaleic anhydride, thymoquinone, thymol, carvacrol, thymol acetate, carvacrol acetate, and phenolic acids. The EO presented the highest biological activities for antioxidant (136.05 mg equivalent of ascorbic acid/g (AAE/g); IC50 83.70 μg/mL of 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)) and antimicrobial tests (minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 250–750 mg/L), while the hydrosol and the ethyl acetate extract from WSRs had the lowest antioxidant activity (14.16 and 12.29 mg AAE/g respectively), and the hydrosol had the lowest antimicrobial activity (MIC of 3000 mg/L). The data suggest that Mexican oregano P. longiflora hydrosol and extracts from waste solid residues can still have compounds with antimicrobial and antioxidant capacities.
