The Pecut kuda plant is one of the plants of the genus Stachytarpheta which is found in tropical regions, including Indonesia. In Indonesia this plant is found in East Kalimantan which grows wild. This study aims to determine the type of secondary metabolites and the level of toxicity of the leaves of horse whip (Stachytarpheta jamaicenesis (L.) Vahl). The research stages were sample drying, sample maceration, filtered, concentrated with a rotary evaporator, phytochemical and toxicity tests using linear regression values to determine the LC50 value with SAS probit analysis. Phytochemical test results showed that the pecut horse leaf extract in the n-hexane fraction contained flavonoids, quinones and steroids, the ethyl acetate fraction contained alkaloids, steroids, saponins, flavonoids and quinones and the methanol fraction contained phenolic flavonoids, quinones and saponins. The results of the toxicity test on Artemia salina L. shrimp larvae in the fraction of n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol obtained LC50 values of 0.036 ppm, 5.24 ppm and 29.51 ppm, respectively. Based on the LC50 value, it can be concluded that the three fractions are very toxic, but the most toxic is the n-hexane fraction (LC50 = 0.036 ppm).

Objective: This study aimed to compare the bronchorelaxation effect of the methanol extract, hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, and methanol fraction of Coptosapelta flavescens Korth. roots (CFRs) on the isolated bronchial rings of guinea pig. Methods: Research design was experimental in which a 4-mm long bronchus of a male guinea pig was kept in an isolated organ bath containing Krebs-Henseleit solution at 37°C, pH 7.4, and flooded with carbogen gas. The bronchial ring was precontracted with methacholine and then given six doses of C. flavescens Korth. root’s methanol extract (MECFR) solution cumulatively. The extract’s solvent 10% dimethyl sulfoxide ethanol was used as negative control. This procedure was then repeated using CFRs hexane fraction (HFCFR) solution, CFRs ethyl acetate fraction (EAFCFR), and CFRs methanol fraction (MFCFR). Results: The bronchorelaxation effect of MECFR, MFCFR, EAFCFR, and HFCFR is shown by their dose-response curves (DRCs) which are significantly different compared with the extracts solvent’s DRC. The maximal efficacy (Emax) of MFCFR was the same (p>0.05) as the MECFRs Emax, but the EAFCFRs and HFCFRs Emax were smaller (p<0.05) than the MECFRs Emax. Conclusion: The bronchorelaxation effect of the MECFR on the guinea pig’s bronchial ring is similar to the CFRs methanol fraction, and is stronger than the CFRs ethyl acetate fraction and CFRs hexane fraction.

Objective: Arginase inhibition could be a potential therapeutic approach for endothelial dysfunction. Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels leaves containphenolic acids and flavonoids, which have been predicted to exhibit arginase inhibitory activity. Moreover, these leaves contain tannins, which canform complexes with enzymes and lead to false-positive results during biological testing. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the arginaseinhibitory activity of S. cumini leaf extract and fractions as well as to elucidate the effects of tannins on this activity.Methods: S. cumini leaves were fractionated using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. A colorimetric method was employed to evaluate arginaseinhibitory activity. Tannin elimination was performed through the gelatin precipitation method. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the fractionswere calculated using the Folin–Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride methods, respectively.Results: Ethyl acetate and methanol fractions showed arginase inhibitory activity with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 46.96 and15.35 μg/mL, respectively. The methanol fraction was positive for tannins. After tannin elimination, this fraction exhibited less potent arginaseinhibitory activity, with an IC50 value of 53.03 μg/mL. The ethyl acetate fraction showed higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents than the methanolfraction.Conclusion: Tannins affected the arginase inhibitory activity of the methanol fraction of S. cumini leaves; however, the ethyl acetate fraction did notcontain tannins and could inhibit arginase activity.
