Abstract

Allamanda flowers were known as ornamental plants, but also have benefits as traditional medicine. Phytochemical screening is an important first step in identifying potential secondary metabolites of a plant. This study were to determine of characteristics and phytochemical screening of allamanda flowers ethanolic extract. Allamanda flowers used were natural flowers that have been air-dried for 7 days. The extract from dry sample of allamanda flowers was obtained by maceration method using 96% ethanol as solvent. The extracts were evaluated their characteristics including, yield, ash content, water content and phytochemical screening by color reaction method with specific reagent. The results were obtained that extract characteristics, namely the yield of 51.77%; water content of 1.14%; and ash content of 4.71%. The results were obtained from the phytochemical test that 96% ethanol extract of allamanda flowers contains flavonoid and saponin. It can be concluded that ethanol extract of allamanda flowers with ash content of 4.71% and water content of 1.14% contains flavonoids and tannins.

Abstract

Nutmeg seed extract (Myristica fragrans Houtt) contains myristicin which have been an anti-inflammatory effect. Nutmeg seed extract is formulated into transdermal patch to avoid the first pass effect. This study was aimed to determine the best nutmeg extract patch transdermal formula using HPMC and EC as polymers. In this study, nutmeg extract was obtained by kinetic maceration method using 96% ethanol. The patch formula was designed into two formulas that have different types of polymer with a concentration of 4.5%, namely FP1 with HPMC polymer and FP2 with EC polymer. Patches that were evaluated for physical properties included organoleptics, weight uniformity, patch thickness, folding resistance test, drying shrinkage, absorbency test and pH. The results showed that FP1 had good organoleptic (elastic shape and even brown color); Uneven weight and thickness (SD < 0.05); Folding endurance test of 300 X; drying shrinkage 25%; absorption capacity of 8.1% and pH 6. Meanwhile, FP2 appears to have poor organoleptic properties (wrinkled shape and uneven brown color; uneven weight (SD < 0.05); uneven thickness (SD > 0.05); test folding resistance of 100 X, drying shrinkage 22.5%; absorption capacity of 20.2% and pH 6. In this study it can be concluded that FP1 with HPMC was the best formula for transdermal patch containing ethanol extract of nutmeg seeds.
