Moringa (moringa oleifera Lam) leaves contains many molecules as inhibitors for free radicals such as phenolic compounds (phenolic acids, flavonoids, quinones, coumarins, lignans, stilbenes, tannins), nitrogen compounds (alkaloids, amines, betalain), vitamins, terpenoids (including carotenoids), and several other endogenous metabolites as antioxidants. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant potency of water and ethanol extracts of moringa (moringa oleifera Lam) leave obtained by maceration and dekok. The concentration of free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometer after addition of various concentrations of Moringa leaves extracts. Various concentrations of moringa leave extracts used were 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm and 80 ppm. Vitamin C solutions as the positive control were prepared on similar various concentrations. The negative control was prepared using DPPH solutions dissolved in absolute ethanol. The results indicated that the ethanol extract of moringa leaves prepared by maceration method showed the antioxidant potency with an IC50 value of 22.1818 ppm, but the IC50 value of water extract of moringa leaves prepared by dekok was 57.5439 ppm. While, the IC50 value of Vitamin C was 8.8084 ppm. Based on the IC50 data it can be concluded that Vitamin C is a stronger antioxidant than moringa leaves extracts.

ABSTRACTIn the southeast Asian Region showing prevalence for the incidence of hyperuricemia, Indonesia ranks second with 18%. Diseases resulting from hyperuricemia (Excess uric acid) are known as gout. The use of excessive or uric acid lowering drugs such as Allopurinol can cause side effects. Flavonoids are known to inhibit xanthine oxidase, so flavonoids have the potential to be used as antyhiperuricemia agents. Green gedi leaves that have been extracted with 96% ethanol have a total flavonoid content of 41.56%. This study aims to determine the potential activity of reducing uric acid levels from green gedi leaves. This type of research is an experimental study carried out in a laboratory with rat test animals with 5 kind of treatments with 3 treatments per repetition. Hyperuricemia conditioning is done by inducing potassium oxonate intraperitoneally. Group I as negative control was given 1% CMC, group II as positive control was given Allopurinol, group III-V was treated with ethanol extract of green gedi leaves with defferent doses of 3.6mg, 7.2mg and 14.4mg. Based on the ANOVA test results obtained there is a significantly different levels of uric acid with p = 0.038 (<0.05) where the results of decreased of uric acid levels with the ethanol extracts of green gedi have a significant difference (p<0.05) with ANOVA statistical tests with level of confidence 95%. Keywords : Anova, antyhiperuricemiaa, green gedy leaves. ABSTRAKDi Kawasan Asia Tenggara menunjukan prevelensi untuk kejadian hiperurisemia, Indonesia menduduki peringkat kedua dengan angka 18%.

The snake fruit peel (Salacca zalacca (Gaertn.) Voss) traditionally has several health benefits, one of which is to treat diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to determine the content of secondary metabolites in the ethanolic extract of snake fruit peel and its activity on glucose and urea creatinine levels in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus). Phytochemical screening of extracts was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. This study is a laboratory experimental study using 30 test animals divided into 6 treatment groups (normal control, negative control, positive control, 70 mg/kg BW, 140 mg/kg BW, and 280 mg/kg BW). The results showed that the ethanol extract of the bark of the salak fruit contained 7.61 %w/w alkaloids, flavonoids 0.041% w/w, tannins 1.18% w/w, and saponins 2% w/w. Ethanol extract of salak fruit peel dose of 140 mg/kg BW affected decreasing blood glucose and urea creatinine levels. The skin of the salak fruit has the potential to be further investigated as an antidiabetic.


Diarrhea is still one of the most important public health problems because it is the third major contributor to child morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. One of the traditional medicines that can be used to treat diarrhea is red shoots. Red shoot leaves contain secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, chalcones, tannins, and terpenoids which can be used as antidiarrheals. The purpose of this study was to compare the antidiare effects between extracts of maceration and socletation of red shoot leaves and determine the effective dose of both extracts as antidiarrheal in male mice using the intestinal transit method. The treatment in this study consisted of the administration of ethanol extract of shoots of red shoots by maceration at a dose of 1.58 mg / 20 g BW (dose of MI), 4.75 mg / 20g BW (dose of M.II), 6.33 mg / 20g BB (Dosage M.III) and ethanol extract of shoots of red shoots by socletation at a dose of 1.67 mg / 20 g BB (SI dose), 5.04 mg / 20 g BB (Dosage S.II), 6.72 mg / 20 g BB (Dose S.III), Loperamid HCl as positive control, and 1% CMC suspension as negative control. Observations were made by measuring the ratio of intestinal length traveled through the norit (marker) to the total gut length. The results showed that all dose treatments on maceration and socletation ethanol extracts had antidiareal activity. Different extraction methods give the same effect in giving antidiarrheal effects. Based on Duncan's advanced dose of 6.72 mg / 20 g BW of socletation results is an effective dose as antidiarrheal because it has an effect that is not significantly different than Loperamid HCl.
