AbstractBlood pressure regulation is basically control of amount of blood flow to certain tissues according to their metabolic needs. The complexity of the mechanisms involved leading to the assumption that there are many functional and structural proteins involved in blood pressure regulation. Indonesian people, especially those living on the island of Java, usually consume star fruit Averrhoa carambola to reduce blood pressure, but the content of bioactive compounds and the mechanism of their interference with proteins is still unknown. This study aimed to determine the bioactive compound content of Averrhoa carambola's methanol extract and its mechanism of interference with the target proteins. An amount of 200 g Averrhoa carambola dried simplicia was extracted by the maceration method using absolute methanol. The extract was then subjected to phytochemical tests using the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) method. Based on the results obtained from the GC-MS phytochemical test, the names of the bioactive compounds found in the Averrhoa carambola methanol extract were obtained. The compounds are then analyzed for their target protein in the human body using the STITCH database (http://stitch.embl.de/). The proteins that had been predicted to be the target of active compounds of Averrhoa carambola methanol extract were analyzed for interactions between proteins using the STRINGdb database (https://string-db.org/cgi/input.pl). Based on this research, it can be concluded that Averrhoa carambola fruit methanol extract can help lower blood pressure by producing NO and acting as antioxidants. However, further research (in-vitro and in-vivo) needs to be done to prove the mechanism. AbstrakRegulasi tekanan darah adalah jumlah kontrol aliran darah ke jaringan tertentu sesuai dengan kebutuhan metabolismenya. Kompleksnya mekanisme yang terlibat, memunculkan asumsi terdapat banyak protein fungsional maupun struktural yang terlibat dalam regulasi tekanan darah. Masyarakat Indonesia, terutama yang tinggal di pulau Jawa biasa mengkonsumsi buah belimbing untuk menurunkan tekanan darah, namun kandungan senyawa bioaktif dan mekanisme intervensinya terhadap protein-protein belum diketahui. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kandungan senyawa bioaktif ekstrak metanol buah Averrhoa carambola dan mekanisme intervensinya terhadap protein-protein targetnya. Simplisia kering buah Averrhoa carambola sebanyak 200 g diekstraksi dengan metode maserasi menggunakan metanol absolut. Dari ekstrak tersebut dilakukan uji fitokimia dengan metode Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) sehingga didapatkan nama-nama senyawa bioaktif yang terdapat pada ekstrak metanol Averrhoa carambola. Senyawa-senyawa tersebut kemudian dianalisis protein targetnya dalam tubuh manusia menggunakan database STITCH (http://stitch.embl.de/). Kemudian dianalisis interaksi antar protein menggunakan database STRINGdb (https://string-db.org/cgi/input.pl). Berdasarkan penelitian ini, ekstrak metanol buah Averrhoa carambola dapat membantu menurunkan tekanan darah dengan memproduksi NO dan berperan sebagai antioksidan. Namun, penelitian lebih lanjut (in-vitro dan in-vivo) perlu dilakukan untuk membuktikan mekanismenya

Catharanthus roseus (periwinkle) is a medicinal plant commonly known for its wide biological activity. In many countries different parts of this plant are used for the treatment of diabetes, hypertension and for menstrual regulation. Due to the ability of production of alkaloids, which can be applied in cancer therapy, is still extensively investigated. Two, the mostvaluable alkaloids (vincristine and vinblastine) are present in C. roseus in very low concentrations. Micropropagation is promising technique used to enhance the level of important secondary metabolites. The main objective of present study was alkaloids extraction from plants cultivated conventionally and derived from in vitro cultures. In this order the aerial parts of periwinkle were extracted with 96% ethanol at room temperature (method I) and heated with 96% ethanol at 55 °C for 90 minutes (method II). The obtained mixtures of different indole alkaloids were analyzed by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Analysis revealed the presence of 15 alkaloids, among which vindoline,vindorosine,isovindolinineand ajmalicine were the most abundant. The obtained results indicated that the propagation method had a significant effect on the percentage content of alkaloids in C. roseus herb. Plants derived from in vitro cultures were richer in vindorosine and vindoline, while conventionally cultivated – in tetrahydroalstonine and ajmalicine. Moreover, in case of isovindolinine,vindolinine and ajmalicine, extraction at 55 °C was more effective, while for pericyclivine – maceration at room temperature.Interestingly, the pericyclivine was not detected in the mixture of alkaloids obtained from periwinkle herb by the extraction at55 °C.
