Abstract

Bacterial infections are a major cause of chronic infections and mortality that continues to threaten public health worldwide. Various medicinal plants used in folk medicine have demonstrated wound healing and antibacterial properties. The aims of the study are investigation phytochemical and antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate fraction from jarak pagar roots (Jatropha curcas Linn.). The roots were treated with maceration method using ethanol 70% and subsequently fractioned to ethyl acetate fraction. The fractions were used for phytochemical screening and antibacterial assay using Kirby and Bauer agar difussion method. The results showed that ethyl acetate fraction jarak pagar roots contained alkaloid, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, poliphenol dan tannins. The antibacterial activity of jarak pagar roots againts Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli shows that the activity of this fraction with concentration 8 mg/mL has strong inhibitory potency against the growth S. aureus with inhibitory zone is 14,3 mm and has moderate inhibitory potency against E. coli with inhibitory zone is 9 mm. The increase concentrations of ethyl asetate fraction jarak pagar roots shows high inhibition diameter of bacterial growth.

Abstract

Antioxidants are crucial in preventing cell damage caused by oxidation from oxidants. The use of antioxidants from natural products such as Jatropha curcas leaves can counteract free radicals due to the presence of secondary metabolites. The main aims of the study were to determine the antioxidant and cytotoxic activity of the infusion of J. curcas leaves. The sample was extracted using the infusion method. A qualitative phytochemical screening was carried out using the test tube method, antioxidant assay using the DPPH method and cytotoxic using the BSLT method. The results showed that the infuse of J. curcas leaves contained secondary metabolites such as polyphenols and tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins. In the antioxidant activity test, infuse of J. curcas leaves and vitamin C (control) the IC50 was 58.90±2.34 ppm and 8.78±0.21 ppm respectively. The infused cytotoxic test contained an active toxic compound in shrimp larvae with an LC50 of 200.28 ppm (LC50 ≤ 1000 ppm). Based on the results of the study, infuse of J. curcas leaves showed potential as an antioxidant and anticancer agent with a strong classification.
