 Objective: The objective of this study is to observe the solubility calcium oxalate as a prototype of kidney stone in breadfruit leaf extract solution (n-hexane extract solution, ethyl acetate extract solution, and ethanol extract solution) by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.Methods: Research was conducted qualitatively to analyze calcium oxalate solubility in breadfruit leaf extract solution. The solubility of calcium was known by measuring the levels of calcium in extract solution before and after incubation with calcium oxalate. Potassium as a factor that can enhance the solubility of calcium oxalate also measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.Results: The higher concentration of extract solution used in incubation with calciumoxalate, the higher dissolving activity of calcium oxalate. The highest activity was found in ethyl acetate extract to dissolve calcium oxalate. Potassium has a small effect on the activity of dissolving calcium oxalate. Activity may be due to the phytochemical content present in the ethyl acetate extract.Conclusion: Ethyl acetate extract solution has the highest activity to dissolve calcium compared to n-hexane extract and ethanol extract solution.

Disease cancer caused by abnormal growth of tissue where there has been an error, fast and out of control. Judging from the fact of gender, more than 270,000 women die every year caused by cervical cancer. To inhibit the growth of cancer cells, a compound is needed that causes the cell cycle to stop so that the ability of cell proliferation decreases. Alkaloid compounds can inhibit proliferation through oxidative inhibition processes that can cause cancer. Mangrove plants have potential as anticancer, antimicrobial, and antioxidant. The content of chemical compounds found in mangroves are flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, phenolites, saponins and tannins. These compounds show high antioxidant activity and are shown to have a real relationship with the properties of the material's bioactivity against cancer cells. One of the mangrove species is Rhizophora apiculata. The purpose of this study was to determine the IC50 value produced by Rhizophora apiculata mangrove leaf extract on HeLa cell viability and to see the effect of Rhizophora apiculata mangrove leaf extract dosage on HeLa cell viability. The method used in this research is the experimental method. The research parameters included yield, proximate test, phytochemical test, toxicity test, total phenol test, cytotoxicity test and LC-MS test. The experimental design used was a simple and complex completely randomized design (CRD) with the Tukey test.The results of this study showed that the highest yield was in the ethanol extract of 5.91%, while the n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts respectively had yields of 1.18% and 1.31%. The results of the proximate test on the water content of leaves and powder were 64.53% and 13.86%, respectively, the results of the ash content in the leaves and powder of Rhizophora apiculata were 3.94% and 8.41%, respectively. while the water content in the extract obtained the highest yield in the ethanol extract of 21.42%, while the n-hexane extract and ethyl acetate extract were 11.08% and 15.42%, respectively. For phytochemical results, it was found that n-hexane extract only contained alkaloids, flavonoids and steroids. Ethyl acetate extract contains steroid compounds. Meanwhile, the ethanol extract contains the most bioactive compounds, namely saponins, flavonoids, tannins and triterpenoids. The toxicity test using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method resulted in the lowest IC50 of ethanol extract at 49.45 ppm while the n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts were 251.63 ppm and 920.45 ppm respectively. In the total phenol test, the n-hexane extract was 66.79 mg GAE / 100 gr, 222.97 mg GAE / 100 gr ethyl acetate extract and 929.04 mg GAE / 100 gr ethanol extract. HeLa cell cytotoxicity testing using the MTT method (3- (4,5-dimethiltiazol-2-yl) -2,5-dipheniltetra zolium bromide) assay resulted in the highest cell viability value at a dose of 125 ppm of 46.97%. As for the doses of 250 ppm, 500 ppm 1000 ppm, and 2000 ppm resulted in a percentage of viability of 42.95% 37.70% 35.82% and 32.12%, respectively.

Penelitian secara in vitro melingkupi analisis fitokimia, uji antioksidan dan antibakteri. Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak daun serapoh mengandung flavonoid, tannin, saponin, dan steroid. Rendemen dari hasil maserasi dengan pelarut akuades, etanol, etil asetat, dan n-heksan berturut-turut adalah 11,34%; 9,13%; 4,21%; dan 1,48%. Ekstrak etil asetat memiliki kandungan total fenol yang tertinggi (212,8 mg/g) dibanding ekstrak yang lain. Kandungan total flavonoid yang tertinggi terdapat pada ekstrak etanol (195,5 mg/g) diikuti dengan ekstrak etil asetat (20,2 mg/g), n-heksan (10,6 mg/g), dan akuades (8,1 mg/g). Nilai potensi antioksidan ekstrak etanol lebih tinggi (86,59%) dibanding ekstrak yang lain namun potensi antioksidan ekstrak etanol, etil asetat, dan akuades tidak berbeda nyata dengan asam askorbat sebagai pembanding. Ekstrak etanol, etil asetat, dan n-heksan dapat menghambat pertumbuhan V. harveyi. Ekstrak etanol bersifat bakteriostatik (1,25 mg/mL) dan bakterisidal (5 mg/mL), serta menyebabkan kerusakan sel sehingga metabolit seluler seperti asam nukleat dan protein dapat keluar dari sel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak daun serapoh memiliki potensi antioksidan dan antibakteri terhadap V. harveyi sehingga dapat digunakan untuk pencegahan dan pengobatan penyakit black body syndrome pada benih kakap putih.Bioactive compounds in plants have various potential biological activities and are commonly used in fish farming as alternatives to prevent and treat fish diseases. Serapoh (Chromolaena odorata) is known to have bioactive compounds, yet its application to prevent disease in Asian seabass has not been studied. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial potential of serapoh leaves in vitro against Vibrio harveyi, causing black body syndrome disease in Asian seabass. The performed tests in this study consisted of phytochemical analysis, antioxidant, and antibacterial tests. The results showed that serapoh leaf extract contains flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. The yields obtained from maceration with aquadest, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane solvents were 11.34%; 9.13%; 4.21%; and 1.48%, respectively. Ethyl acetate extract had the highest total phenol content (212.8 mg/g) compared to the other extracts. Ethanol extract has the highest total flavonoid content (195.5 mg/g) followed by ethyl acetate (20.2 mg/g), n-hexane (10.6 mg/g), and aquadest (8.1 mg/g). The highest antioxidant potential value was shown by ethanol extract (85.59%), but the antioxidant potentials of ethanol, ethyl acetate, and aquadest extracts were not significantly different from ascorbic acid. Ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane extracts can inhibit the growth of V. harveyi. Ethanol extract has bacteriostatic (1.25 mg/mL) and bactericidal (5 mg/mL) properties. The exposure of V. harveyi to ethanol extract resulted in cellular damage that can release cellular metabolites such as nucleic acids and proteins. In conclusion, serapoh leaf extract had antioxidant and antibacterial potential against V. harveyi and could be used to prevent or treat black body syndrome in Asian seabass.
