Diseases caused by C. albicans (C. albicans) such as mouth, skin and nail  diseases are still commonly found in Indonesia. This study aimed to examine antifungal activity of n-hexane, chloroform, and n-butanol extracts of Santalum album (S.album) leaves in inhibiting the growth of C. albicans and to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of the most active extract as well as to identify their active compounds. Antifungal activity testing was carried out using disc diffusion method and identification of active compound was performed using LC-MS /MS. Extraction of 1 kg sandalwood leaf powder with methanol yielded 86.80 gram of crude methanol extract. Partiiton 40 gram of the crude methanol extract with n-hexane, chloroform, and n-buthanol gave 12.60, 6.20 and 1.20 g of extracts respectively. The antifungal activity test results revealed that n-hexane extract was the most active in inhibiting the growth of C.albicans with inhibitory diameter of 13 mm as compared to chloroform 9 mm and n-buthanol 8 mm. The active n-hexane extract which is active as an antifungal is then made various variations to obtain a minimum inhibitory. The n-hexane extract, at concentrations of 95, 90 and 85% inhibited the growth of C.albican with inhibitory diameter of 12.04, 15.8, and 13 mm respectively. While at the concentarion of 80 % showed minimum inhibitory diameter of 9.32 mm. Based on analysis mass spectra of two peaks of LC-MS / MS chromatogram with MassLynx V4.1 programe and Chemspider web database suggested the presence of benzofurazan and picolylamine compounds which may contribute to the antifungal activityof n-hexane extract of S.album. Keywords: Sandalwood (Santalum album L.), antifungal, C. albicans, n-Hexane, LC-MS/MS

The antibacterial activity of three Cupressaceae plants (Thujaoccidentalis,ThujaorientalisandChamaecyparisobtusa) was tested against three bacteria using the agar diffusion method. The ether and ethylacetate fraction of crude methanol extract from the three plants showed potent antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms. The result showed that Staphylococcus aureus revealed the most sensitivity among the tested bacteria. Thujaoccidentalisether fraction and Thujaorientalis hexane fraction exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. E. coli was shown the highest MIC values compared to the other two tested bacteria, which indicates the lowest antibacterial activity against the bacterium. This study promises an interesting future for designing a potentially active antibacterial agent from the three Cupressaceae plants.

Epilachna sparsa is one of the plant pests that damage the epidermal layer on the bottom side of the leaves, so it can lead to damage of leaf tissue and only the skeleton remains. Gayam (Inocarpus fagiferus) is one of the species of the Legumineceae family which has insecticide activity. This study aims to isolate and identify the antifeedant triterpenoid compound from stem of gayam (Inocarpus fagiferus Fosb.) against Epilachna sparsa larvae. Dried powder of 1200 g gayam stems produced 17.82 g of crude methanol extract with antifeedant activity of 60.74% at a concentration of 5% (w/v) which was further separated by partition to obtain n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water extracts. Extracts of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water at 5% (w/v) concentration showed antifeedant activity of 46.74%, 18.09%, and 8.31% respectively. Futhermore, the most active n-hexane extract was identified by phytochemical tests and LC-MS/MS. The phytochemical test showed n-hexane extract contains triterpenoid compounds. The mass spectra from LC-MS/MS chromatogram peaks with MassLynx V4.1 software and Chemspider database for n-hexane extracts which were previously purified by SPE (Solid method) Phase Extraction) using methanol and dichloromethane (DCM) eluents show the presence of components of flavonol pyrogallol, sucrose2,3,3 ', 4', 6-pentaacetate, soyasaponin I, and a compound with a molecular weight of 685,225 g/mol which cannot be identified further because there is no match spectra with the database.    Keywords: antifeedant, Epilachna sparsa, gayam, Inocarpus fagiferus Fosb., triterpenoid.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of methanol extract and fractions of leaves of Randia nitida (Kunth) DC on Colletotrichum truncatum (Schw.) Andrus & Moore, Rhizoctonia solani Kühn and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary and perform chemical and antioxidant activity tests. Crude methanol extract (EBM) and fractions (hexane = FHX, dichloromethane = FDM and ethyl acetate = FAE) underwent classical phytochemical analysis and determination of total phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant activity. Samples were individually incorporated into PDA culture mediums (potato-dextrose-agar) at concentrations of 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 µg mL-1 of extract or fraction. Mycelial growth was evaluated when control reached the edge of the plate. Phytochemical results indicated that flavonoids, steroids and triterpenoids are the major chemical constituents in both EBM and fractions. Total phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant activity were higher for FAE and EBM, followed by FDM and FHX; however, the latter showed higher content of steroids and triterpenoids compared to the other fractions. For C. truncatum, R. solani and S. sclerotiorum, the most efficient fractions were respectively FAE, FDM and FHX, all of them in the highest concentration (160 µg mL-1). The highest inhibition rate was observed against S. sclerotiorum, reaching 93.75%. We concluded that all fractions have antifungal activity on the plant pathogens, being FHX the most active against S. sclerotiorum, which might have been due to the presence of steroids and triterpenes.

This study aimed to test the antibacterial activity of n-hexane and methanol extracts of white cempaka flowers (Magnolia alba) against Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. The extract was obtained by using the maceration method for 72 hours. Each extract was tested for its antibacterial properties using the disc diffusion method with the variant concentration of the extract used was 0.05%; 2%; 4%; 6%; and 8%. The results showed that the methanol extract had a higher inhibition zone than the n-hexane extract. In n-hexane extract, the lowest concentration of 0.05% showed an inhibition zone of 6.6 mm and the highest concentration of 8% had an inhibition zone of 9.6 mm. Whereas in methanol extract, the inhibition zone obtained was 7.3 mm at a low concentration of 0.05%, but at the highest concentration of 8% the inhibition zone obtained was 11.6 mm. The effect of extract concentration on the diameter of the inhibition zone formed is very significant (directly proportional), where the higher the concentration used, the larger the diameter of the inhibition zone produced. Antibacterial testing for both extracts showed a weak (< 10 mm) to moderate (> 10 mm) bacterial inhibition, which was similar with the inhibition zone obtained from the positive control (11-11.3 mm; moderate bacterial inhibition).
