Introduction: Betel leaf (Piper betle Linn.) and clove leaf (Syzygium aromaticum) are Indonesian herbs which are known to cause a numb sensation. The main ingredients of betel leaf, which act as an anesthetic, are caryophyllene, eugenol, methyl eugenol, eucalyptol (1.8-cineol), linalool, α-Pinene, estragole, while cloves have local anesthetic effects through their ingredients, namely eugenol, and β-Caryophyllene. Research on the benefits of these two ingredients as topical anesthetics in Indonesia is still rare. This study was aimed to describe the potential of betel leaf and clove leaf extract as a topical anesthetic in Wistar rats. Methods: This research was a laboratory experimental research with simple randomized controlled design. The sample consisted of 6 male Wistar rats, each of which was given four treatments, namely extract with a concentration of 50%, 75%, and 100%, and topical anaesthetic benzocaine 20% as a control. Each treatment was tested using an electric stimulator and observed onset, duration of action, and depth of topical anaesthesia. The data were processed using descriptive statistics with tables and graphs. Results: Betel leaf extract with a concentration of 100% had a better mean onset, duration of work, and depth of anesthesia than the 20% benzocaine control, whereas 75% clove leaf extract had the longest duration of action compared to 20% benzocaine and 100% concentration was the topical anesthetic agent with the highest anesthetic depth. Conclusion: Based on the onset, duration of action, and depth of anesthesia, betel leaf, and clove leaf have potential as topical anesthetic agents.

Abstract: Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) contains eugenol, a phenolic compound, which has been suggested to possess antioxidant activity. This compound is suspected to be able to minimize damage to the liver cells caused by drugs such as paracetamol. This study aimed to observe the effects of clove leaf extract on histopathological features of Wistar rat liver tissue induced with toxic doses of paracetamol. This was an experimental laboratory study. Subjects were 24 male Wistar rats. The dose of clove leaf extract was 200 mg/day (single dose) and of paracetamol 50 mg/day (single dose) orally. Group A (negative control) was given no treatment for 14 days. Group B was given paracetamol for 14 days. Group C was given clove leaf extract for 7 days and then added with paracetamol for 7 days. Group D was given clove leaf extract and paracetamol simultaneously for 14 days. Group A showed normal histological feature of liver cells. Group B showed liver cell damage induced by paracetamol. Group C showed regeneration of liver cells, but there were still some necrosis and fatty liver cells. Group D showed regeneration of liver cells meanwhile cell necrosis was hardly found. Conclusion: Clove leaf extract could improve the histopathological changes of liver tissues of Wistar rats due to administration of paracetamol at toxic dose. This improvement was manifested as better regeneration of liver cells than that of rats not treated with clover leaf extract.

<p>In Indonesia, strawberry is one of fruits which has high economic values. The growth of strawberry has increased significantly, but its productivity is still low because of disease attack. Disease that attacks strawberry started from nursery to post harvest is anthracnose that can be caused by Colletotrichum spp. Control efforts of anthracnose disease up to now has been done with application of synthetic chemicals which are known to be hazardous to the environment and human health. Betel leaf (Piper betle L.) is natural plant that potentially used as phytofungicide. Essential oils on betel leaf extract is reported can decrease the growth of pathogenic fungi. The objectives of the research were to identify Colletotrichum spp. in strawberry fruit that showed anthracnose symptoms, to test the potency of betel leaf extract as phytofungicide, and to evaluate the effect of betel leaf extract in inhibiting infection and disease severity of Colletotrichum in strawberry. Samples were taken from strawberry nursery in Magelang, Indonesia. The disease symptoms were isolated on Potato Dextrose Agar, followed by identification of fungal colony and morphology by semi permanent slide preparation. Betel leaves were extracted with water to get a concentration of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%, respectively. An in vitro experiment was done to evaluate the inhibition rate of betel leaf extract to the growth of Colletotrichum spp. colony. An in vivo experiment was done by submersion of strawberry to betel leaf extract before (preventive method) and after antrachnose attack (curative method), then disease infection and disease severity were measured after 7 days. The result of the research showed that anthracnose disease in strawberry was caused by C. gloeosporioides (Penz.). Twenty percent of betel leaf extract in an in vitro test had potential as phytofungicide and concentration of 100% betel leaf extract was the best concentration to inhibit the growth of C. gloeosporioides (Penz.) colony by 70.26±0,61%. In an in vivo experiment, submersion of strawberry before pathogen infection (preventive) with 100% betel leaf extract decreased disease infection by 40% and disease severity by 16%, respectively. While treatment of submersion of strawberry after pathogen infection (curative) decreased disease infection by 33,4% and disease severity by 17%. </p><p>Keywords: strawberry, anthrachnose, disease, betel leaf</p>
