Background: Binjai (Mangifera caesia) is a herb derived from South Kalimantan possessing antioxidant properties which promote wound healing inhibiting oxidation radicals. The natural antioxidants present in binjai leaves can be extracted by fractionation. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate fraction in 96% ethanol extract of binjai leaf. Methods: The study constituted a pure experimental study incorporating a post-test design with only random sampling technique consisting of two groups, namely; an ethyl acetate fraction as the treatment group and ascorbic acid as the positive control group. The leaves were treated in accordance with the soxhlet method and subsequently fractionated to extract ethyl acetate fraction. This was used to measure antioxidant activity with DPPH radical damping method using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. A linear regression calculation was performed with a standard curve to quantify the IC50 value, before the ethyl acetate fraction underwent a qualitative test of secondary metabolite. Results: An independent t-test indicated significant differences between groups, an average value of IC50 in ascorbic acid of 13.812 ppm with 0.996 linearity and a fraction of ethyl acetate 38.526 ppm with a linearity of 0.999. In contrast, at this linearity value ascorbic acid and ethyl fraction acetate demonstrate a very high linear connection between concentration and inhibition. A secondary metabolite test conducted on the ethyl acetate fraction produced positive results for flavonoid, tannins, and phenol. Conclusion: Based on the IC50 parameters, the fraction of ethyl acetate in 96% ethanol extract of binjai leaf produces very strong antioxidant activity in the content of the compounds in the fraction, namely: flavonoid, tannins and phenol.

Guava (Psidium guajava L., Myrtaceae) leaves have been used as a folk herbal tea to treat diabetes for a long time in Asia and North America. In this study, we isolated polysaccharides from guava leaves (GLP), and evaluated its antioxidant activity in vitro and anti-diabetic effects on diabetic mice induced by streptozotocin combined with high-fat diet. The results indicated that GLP exhibited good DPPH, OH, and ABTS free-radical scavenging abilities, and significantly lowered fasting blood sugar, total cholesterol, total triglycerides, glycated serum protein, creatinine, and malonaldehyde. Meanwhile, it significantly increased the total antioxidant activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity in diabetic mice, as well as ameliorated the damage of liver, kidney, and pancreas. Thus, polysaccharides from guava leaves could be explored as a potential antioxidant or anti-diabetic agents for functional foods or complementary medicine.

Objective: To determine whether Psidium guajava leaves mouthwash is effective in the management of patients with aphthous ulcers Methods: Study Design: Randomized prospective open label clinical study Setting:           Tertiary Government Training Hospital Subjects:         Thirty two patients diagnosed with aphthous ulcers were randomly divided into two groups, a treatment group using prepared guava leaves mouthwash, and a control group using isotonic sodium chloride solution mouthwash, given thrice a day for seven days. Patients were evaluated using a 10 point Visual Analog Scale. The sizes of the aphthous ulcers were measured using a caliper, and compared on day 1 and day 7 for both treatment and control groups. Results were subjected to statistical analysis using T-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Fisher Exact test. Results: Comparison of VAS scores of guava treatment and NSS control groups showed that there were no differences in pain experienced on days 1 and 2. However, the VAS scores from day 3 to 7 had p values ranging from 0.02 - 0.0001 which showed significant differences in resolution of pain. There was statistically significant marked improvement of pain symptoms as early as three days post-treatment among patients who were administered guava leaves mouthwash. Complete resolution of aphthous ulcers in 75% of the study group was observed on day 7. Mean ulcer size post-treatment with guava gargle was 0.25mm compared to 0.75mm for NSS gargle. The mean size difference at day 7 was 1.44mm for the guava treatment group and 0.88mm for the NSS control group. There was a statistically significant faster resolution of ulcer size on day 7 in 16/16 or 100 % of patients in the treatment group compared with only 10/16 or 62.5% of patients in the control group. Patients who were administered guava leaves mouthwash generally fared better than those administered isotonic sodium chloride solution. Conclusion: Guava leaves mouthwash was effective for aphthous ulcers in terms of reduction of symptoms of pain and faster reduction of ulcer size. Further clinical trials comparing this mouthwash against other treatment options are recommended. Keywords: Guava leaves (Psidium guajava), aphthous ulcers, mouthwash

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the extraction method on the dry extract yield of guava leaves, correlating the total phenolic content (TPC) with the antioxidant activity. The dry extracts were obtained from hydroethanolic (50 and 70%) extract using the ultrasound-assisted method. Folin-Ciocalteau reagent was used to determine the content of TPC. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) in vitro assay was used to determine the ability to scavenge free radicals. The results analyses demonstrated that the ultrasound-assisted method produced a higher yield in both dry extracts (11%), in contrast to the conventional method. The 50% hydroethanolic solvent was more efficient in the extraction of bioactive compounds. Both extracts showed a positive correlation of phenolic content with antioxidant activity. The FTIR spectrograms showed changes in the chemical groups, as well as determining the aromaticity index of the extracts, indicating a higher aromatic prevalence to the solvent 50%, although it presented simpler phenolic structures. In conclusion, the results provide an important basis for the use of phenolic compounds extracted from guava leaves, not only due to the antioxidant activity exerted, however, for potential use as a crosslinking agent of sulfated and non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG).
