Analisis Fitokimia Air Rebusan Daun Mantalalu (Euphorbia hirta L) Asal Kota Palu Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah

One of the herbal plants that have long been used as traditional herbal medicine by Central Sulawesi peoples is Mantalalu (Euphorbia hirta L). Central Sulawesi peoples used this Mantalalu to appendicitis medicine. The chemical compound contained in Mantalalu plant has a role in providing different pharmacology. A study was conducted about the chemical compound content Mantalalu plant (Euphorbia hirta L). The method of this research was boiling dried leave and wet leave of Mantalalu plant and phytochemical test including flavonoids tests, alkaloids tests, saponins tests, polyphenol, and tannin tests. The results of this research showed that the decoction of dried and wet leaf samples of Mantalalu plant contained flavonoid, polyphenol, tannin, and saponins bioactive compounds.

A Comprehensive Review on Therapeutic Potential on Euphorbia hirta Lin

Euphorbia hirta Linn, a representative of the Euphorbiaceae family, is a widespread annual herb found in wastelands in humid conditions. The plant is high in phytochemicals such as tannin, quercetin, and phytosterol, however there are few phytopharmacological investigations on it. Plant components are normally employed in traditional medicine to treat respiratory problems, gastrointestinal issues, wound healing, and other ailments. The steroid of E. hirta was found to have CNS depressive and muscle relaxant effects, as well as a sub-maximal anti-stress and anxiolytic impact.

Structural elucidation, mechanism of action, antibacterial proficiency and synergistic forte of purified Euphorbia hirta whole plant extract against multi-drug resistant otitis media infection

This study investigated the antibacterial potential of Euphorbia hirta whole plant extracts, honey and conventional antibiotics and their synergistic effects against selected multidrug resistant and typed bacterial strains associated with otitis media. E. hirta whole plant extract was purified using column chromatography technique. The antibacterial assays of extracts were done using standard microbiological procedures. Protein, sodium and potassium ion leakage of the synergistic mixtures was determined using flame-photometry. At 100 mg/ml, acetone extracts presented highest inhibition against S. aureus (NCTC 6571) with 32 ± 0.83 mm zone of inhibition. The fractional inhibitory concentration indices displayed higher synergism in combination of plant extract, honey and ciprofloxacin against P. mirabilis at 0.02 compared to drug combination synergy standard (≤ 0.5). This work revealed augmentation of ciprofloxacin potency when combined with purified E. hirta acetone extract and honey and implies their high potential in the treatment of multidrug resistant infection of otitis media.

Euphorbia hirta Linn (Euphorbiaceae), une espèce végétale prometteuse pour combattre les dysenteries bacillaires: Expérimentations in vitro en Côte d’Ivoire

Les shigelloses (dysenterie bacillaire) persistent actuellement sous forme endémique dans les pays tropicaux et sont accompagnées d’échecs thérapeutiques à cause des souches de Shigelles (agents pathogènes) résistantes aux antibiotiques, constituant ainsi une priorité de santé publique. En Côte d’Ivoire, dans lesrecherches d’alternatives thérapeutiques pour éradiquer ce fléau, les activités antishigella in vitro, d’extraits d’Euphorbia hirta, plante utilisée en médecine traditionnelle pour guérir les diarrhées sanglantes ont été comparées. Un extrait total aqueux (ETaq) a été obtenu par macération de la poudre végétale dans de l’eau distillée et un extrait hydroéthanolique (EETH70%) a aussi été obtenu par macération de la poudre végétale dans l’éthanol70%. Les tests bactériologiques ont été effectués sur les souches cliniques de Shigella sp (EEQ ; 1055) pour déterminer les Concentration Minimale Inhibitrice (CMI) et Concentration Minimale Bactéricide (CMB). Aussi, les rapports d’efficacité des différents extraits sur la base des CMB, ont été recherchés. Ces travaux ont montré que les valeurs des CMIs varient de 6,25 à 12,5 mg/mL tandis que celles des CMBs sont de 25 mg/mL pour l’E.ETH70% (respectivement contre les deux souches :1055 et EEQ de Shigella sp.). Les CMIs et CMBs prises dans ce même ordre sont respectivement de 50 mg/mL pour l’E.Taq. (contre les deux souches) et de 100 à 200 mg/mL respectivement contre les souches EEQ et 1055. Toutefois, l’E.ETH70% est quatre à huit fois plus actif que l’E.Taq. respectivement pour les inhibitions des souches cliniques EEQ et 1055 (par référence au rapport d’efficacité sur la base des CMBs, soit CMB E.Taq)/(CMB EETH70%, montrant ainsi que ces souches testées sont plus sensibles à l’E.ETH70%. Ces travaux constituent une assise scientifique à l’usage traditionnel de cette plante, dans le traitement des diarrhées sanglantes.

The Combination of Phyllanthus niruri, Euphorbia hirta, and Loranthus sp. as a Source of Antioxidant Agents

Meniran (Phyllanthus niruri), patikan kebo (Euphorbia hirta), and benalu (Loranthus sp.) have often been used by people as medicinal plants. This research aimed to measure the levels of flavonoids, phenolics, and ascorbic acid compounds, as well as the Free Radical Scavenging (FRS) activity of ethyl acetate extract from the mixture of P. niruri, E. hirta, and Loranthus sp. The FRS activity was measured with the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The level of compounds was measured by using the spectrophotometry method with specific reagents. The result of the FRS activity in ethyl acetate extract from the mixture of P. niruri, E. hirta, and Loranthus sp. varied depending on its dose. The measure of FRS in the P. niruri: E. hirta: Loranthus sp 0:0:1 (K-OOL) composition showed a strong result with a value of IC50 97.2 ± 2.1 ppm, while in the 0:0.5:0.5 (K-OEL) composition it was moderate with a value of IC50 147.6 ± 6.5 ppm. The other compositions showed weak and inactive results. The K-OOL composition had the highest flavonoid and phenolic content that were 298.8±0.00 mg QE/g extract and 141.5±2.85 mg GAE/g extract respectively. The composition with the highest ascorbic acid content (298.8±0.00 mg/g extract) was K-OEO composition. So far, research on medicinal plants is still limited to one type of plant. The combination of several types of plants in several formulations allows obtaining a composition that can produce maximum antioxidant capacity. Therefore, this research is expected to produce a combination formulation of various types of medicinal plants that have the K-OOL composition very strong antioxidant activity and can be used as herbal medicines.

Analisis Fitokimia dan Aktivitas Antibakteri Beberapa Jenis Tanaman terhadap Bakteri Patogen pada Budidaya Ikan

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kandungan fitokimia serta aktivitas antibakteri sepuluh jenis tanaman terhadap bakteri Vibrio alginolyticus dan Aeromonas hydropilla. Dipilih 10 jenis tanaman yang sering digunakan sebagai obat dan banyak ditemukan di kota Kupang seperti tanaman Phyllanthus acidus, Euphorbia hirta, Persea gratissima, Euphorbia thymifolia, Morus australis, Justica gendarussa, Paederia scandeus, Annona squamosa, Sesbania sesban, dan Jatropha gossypifolia. Bagian tanaman yang digunakan adalah daun, kecuali E. hirta dan E. thymifolia digunakan seluruh bagian tanaman. Kesepuluh jenis tanaman tersebut dibuat bubuk, kemudian diekstraksi dengan cara dimaserasi secara bertingkat mulai dari pelarut n-heksan, etil asetat dan metanol, selain itu, juga digunakan ekstrak air tanaman tersebut. Semua jenis ekstrak tanaman diuji antibakteri dengan menggunakan metode cakram. Jenis ekstrak yang aktif selanjutnya diuji antibakteri pada konsentrasi 10%, 1% dan 0,1%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis tanaman yang berpotensi sebagai antibakteri pada budidaya ikan laut adalah esktrak air dan metanol E. hirta dan E. thymifolia. Sedangkan jenis tanaman yang berpotensi sebagai antibakteri pada budidaya ikan air tawar adalah ekstrak air E. hirta dan E. thymifolia daun J. gendarussa.
