ABSTRACT Background:  Majapahit leaves (Crescentia cujete L.) are known to contain biochemical compounds namely tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids, and saponins which are effective as antimicrobials. Objective(s): This study aimed to formulate ointment from n-hexane extract of majapahit leaves and to known its antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa. Methods: ointment ingredients are vaselin, cera alba, liquid paraffin, and menthol and 2% of Majapahit leaves n-hexane extract. Ointment stability test included organoleptic, homogeneity, viscosity, pH, and irritation tests. Evaluation of stability of ointment was obtained by using cycling test method. The irritation test was carried out by open patch test on 6 panellists. Diffusion method is used to obtain antimicrobial activity. Results: The antimicrobial   activity    (diameter   inhibition   zone)   of    the    ointment    against Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria was 11 mm and the positive control was 13 mm. The formula showed no change on texture, colour, aroma, viscosity, homogeneity, but there was slight increase in viscosity and pH. The ointment showed non-irritating for panellists thus the ointment formulation is safe for topical use. Conclusion: 2% n-hexane extract of Majapahit leaves can be formulated into ointment with good stability with strong antibacterial activity and non-irritating. Keywords:  antibacterial  activity,  majapahit  leaves,  N-hexane  extract,  ointment,  Pseudomonas aeruginosa

One of the causes of infection was bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus. Torch ginger has been widely used to treat dwaseases caused by bacteria. Torch ginger has been studied to have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The purpose of thwas study was to formulate an ointment preparation of ethanol extract of torch ginger and to see if the ointment preparations had antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The research method used in thwas research was experimental True, covering the stages: making of ethanol extract of kecombrang flower with maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent, ointment formulation made with ointment base: vaseline, adeps lanae, and propylene glycol. Made in three concentrations of extracts namely: F I with 100 mg, F II with 200 mg, and F III with 300 mg. Furthermore, the evaluation of the preparation of evaluation of physical stability and homogeneity, and test of antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria with diffusion method to use Kirby odor dwasc paper. The results showed that the ointment had good physical stability and homogeneity for 30 days of storage at room temperature. The antibacterial activity test of the ointment shows that the inhibitory diameter F I has an average of 16.45 mm, F II has an average of 18.60 mm and F III has an average of 21.12 mm. Based on the results obtained it can be concluded that the preparation of the ethanol extract of torch ginger has an inhibitory power to Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. In the next research was expected to pay attention to the growing area of ​​torch ginger  and to compare the antibacterial activity between petal flowers and flower seeds using Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
