Red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) contains useful chemical compounds like alkaloid, saponin, tannin, and flavonoid which have an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial characteristics. Previous research shows red betel leaf has a better bactericidal profile than the green ones. The red betel leaf extract is already proven to disturbing the growth of periodontal causative bacteria in an earlier study. Any ingredient or chemical contents on food and drug shall run a toxicity test before permitted to use generally. This study’s purpose is to investigate the acute toxicity effect of red betel leaf extract as a periodontal pocket therapy ingredient. The acute toxicity experimental is conducted on Swiss webster mice which divided into six groups consisting of 4 males and four females each. The dose given to the subject is a single dose by the oral route as amount as the twice maximal tolerated dose that is 10000, 5000, 2500, 1250, and 625 mg/kg BW. The weight of mice is measured every day from day-1 until day-14 after that (on day-15) the mice are cut to counting relative organ index. The collected data is analyzed using The One-way ANOVA test and continues with the posthoc Tucay test. This study result shows that red betel leaf extract with doses 10000, 5000, 2500, 1250, and 625 mg/kg BW given acutely doesn’t generate a significant change in weight and relative organ index of the test’s subject. Based on this result, it can be concluded that red betel leaf extract is not toxic.

Background: Picralima nitida (Stapf) commonly called akuamma belongs to the family apocynaceae found mostly in forest areas of Africa. It is a shrub or a deciduous tree that can grow up to 35 meters in height. It has a cylindrical trunk measuring about 60 cm in diameter with white latex in its parts. The bark of the trunk is fragile and is greyish brown or black in colour.Methods: The acute oral toxicity test was done using up and down method. The anti-ulcerogenic activities of the leaf, seed and stem bark extracts were evaluated using ethanol-induced ulceration model in rats.Results: There were no signs of morbidity and mortality in rats following oral acute toxicity test. The extracts produced a significant (p<0.05) dose dependent reduction in the number of ulcers and ulcer scores reducing them from 14.00±2.82 and to 56.00±4.55 to as low as 2.00±1.21 and 8.45±1.24 respectively. The ulcer preventive index was also increased by P. nitida extracts in a dose dependent manner with the (Picralima nitida leaf extract) PNLE at the dose of 400 mg/kg causing up to 76.13% inhibition of ulcers in the rats.Conclusions: Picralima nitida extracts demonstrated significant anti-ulcerogenic activities in ethanol-induced gastric ulcerations in rats.

Green betel leaf (Piper betle L.) contains secondary metabolites, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, tannins. Green betel leaf (Piper betle L.) is widely used for wound healing, especially in rural Indonesians. This study aims to determine the effect of green betel leaves extract (Piper betle L.) on wound healing in mice (Mus musculus L.). The samples were determined using a randomized block design (RBD) using mice (Mus musculus L.) which consisted of three treatment groups using a concentration of 20%, 30%, 40% and one control group. The Measure of the average diameter of the wound was using a ruler on each side of the diameter. The data measurement for the average diameter of wound restriction was analyzed by using the one way. The one way Anova test showed that the sig or p-value is 0.000 <0.05 (at the alpha level of 5%) so that Ho is rejected which indicates that there is an effect of giving green betel leaf extract (Piper betel L.) on wound healing in mice (Mus musculus L.). Based on the results of the LSD or LSD test, it shows that it is not significant / the same because the sig value is 0.074> 0.05, which means that no change occurs in mice when given 30% or 40% extract. Green betel leaf extract (Piper betle L.) has an effect on wound healing in mice (Mus musculus L.).

Objective: To screen the toxic effect of Mangifera indica aqueous leaf extract in Drosophila melanogaster. Materials and Methods: Phytochemical screening was carried out. 20 Adult flies were exposed to 7.5 mg, 15 mg,  30 mg, 45 mg and 100 mg /10 g diet for acute toxicity (168hrs) while 50 flies were exposed to 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg/10 g diet for sub chronic (28 days). All concentrations were prepared in 1000µl of distilled water and replicated three (3) times. Diet+1000µl of Distilled water served as control. Fecundity/developmental toxicity, Climbing and AChE activities were carried out by exposing flies to the sub-chronic concentrations for 5 days. Results: Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and terpenoids. The acute toxicity test showed 100% mortality at 100 mg/ 10 g diet and 168hrs LC50 was 72.4 mg/10 g diet. The sub chronic toxicity test showed decrease in flies survival along concentration with a least survival at 10 mg/10 g diet. There was a slight reduction and elevation in the Climbing and AChE activities respectively but not statistically significant (p>0.05) compared to control. At 5 mg and 10 mg/10 g diet there was a delay in the development with few emerged flies. Conclusion: From the Results, it can be concluded that Mangiferaindica aqueous leaf extract may be toxic at high dose from 72.4 mg/10 g diet and might have an adverse effect on the development and survival of flies at sub chronic concentration as low as 2.5 mg/10g diet.
