Abstract

Infections that are commonly happened in developing countries such as Indonesia are skin infection that caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and digestive infection that caused by Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus. The ethanol extract of Bambusa vulgaris leaves contained metabolite compounds that potential to have antibacterial activity. This study aimed to determine MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) value of ethanol extract of Bambusa vulgaris leaves against those four bacteria. The research was conducted by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method using ethanol extract of Bambusa vulgaris leaves with concentration variations of 80 mg/mL, 40 mg/mL, 20 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 5 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, and 1.25 mg/mL. The results showed that ethanol extract of Bambusa vulgaris leaves can inhibit the growth of all four bacteria with MIC value against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis is 20 mg/mL, with inhibition zone diameter of 7,33 ± 0,416 mm and 6,32 ± 0,057 mm respectively. While the MIC value against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacillus cereus is 10 mg/mL, with inhibitory zone diameter obtained respectively 7,33 ± 0,416 mm and 6,07 ± 0,029 mm. The conclusion of this research was that ethanol extract of Bambusa vulgaris leaves had inhibition zone with MIC value 20 mg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, and 10 mg/mL against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacillus cereus.Keywords: Ethanol extract of Bambusa vulgaris leaves, antibacterial, disc diffusion, MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration)

Abstract

Abstrak Lansau adalah ramuan tradisional masyarakat Suku Muna Sulawesi Tenggara yang terdiri dari 44 jenis tanaman yang dipercaya oleh masyarakat setempat berkhasiat untuk mengobati berbagai macam penyakit. Lansau telah digunakan selama ratusan tahun secara turun temurun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas ekstrak etanol ramuan lansau terhadap histopatologi organ ginjal pada model hewan yang mengalami kerusakan fungsi ginjal dengan induksi kombinasi injeksi gentamisin 3,6 mg/kgbb dan suspensi oral piroksikam 100 mg/kgbb. Hewan uji tikus dikelompokkan menjadi 6 kelompok, yaitu normal, kontrol negatif, kontrol positif, ekstrak etanol lansau dosis 6,90; 13,81 dan 27,62 mg/kg bb. Pemberian bahan uji dilakukan secara oral setiap hari selama 4 minggu. Pada minggu kelima hewan dikorbankan, dilakukan pembedahan dan diamati histopatologi organ ginjal meliputi tubulus normal, degenerasi sel tubulus, nekrosis sel tubulus, penyempitan lumen tubulus, adhesi dan atrofi glomerulus. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan ektrak etanol lansau dosis 6,90; 13,81 dan 27,62 mg/kgbb memiliki kemampuan dalam menghambat kerusakan fungsi ginjal.  Berdasarkan histopatologi organ ginjal pemberian ekstrak etanol lansau dosis 13,81 mg/kgbb lebih efektif dalam menghambat kerusakan organ ginjal dengan tidak ditemukannya sel yang mengalami degenerasi dan nekrosis.  Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah ektrak etanol lansau mempunyak aktivitas untuk perbaikan fungsi ginjal. Kata kunci: Lansau, suku Muna, histopatologi, perbaikan fungsi ginjal.  The ethanol extract activity of Lansau, a traditional Muna ethnic concoction, on improving kidney function AbstractLansau is a traditional concoction of the Southeast Sulawesi Muna Tribe community which consists of 44 types of plants that are believed by local people to be efficacious for treating various diseases. Lansau has been used for hundreds of generations. The aim of this study was to determine the activity of ethanol extract of elderly herbs against the histopathology of kidney organs in animal models that have impaired kidney function by induction of a combination of gentamicin injection of 3.6 mg / kgbb and oral suspension of piroxicam 100 mg / kgbb. Rat test animals were grouped into 6 groups, namely normal, negative control, positive control, ethanol extract, or 6.90; 13.81 and 27.62 mg / kg bw. Provision of test material is carried out orally every day for 4 weeks. In the fifth week the animals were sacrificed, performed surgery and observed histopathology of kidney organs including normal tubules, tubular cell degeneration, tubular cell necrosis, tubular lumen constriction, adhesion and glomerular atrophy. The observation results showed an ethanol extract of a dose of 6.90; 13.81 and 27.62 mg / kg have the ability to inhibit damage to kidney function. Based on histopathology of kidney organs, the administration of ethanol extract at a dose of 13.81 mg / kg is more effective in inhibiting kidney organ damage with the absence of degenerated and necrotic cells. The conclusion of this study is the ethanol extract of the elderly has activity to improve kidney function.  Keywords: Lansau, Muna ethnic, histopathology, improvement of kidney function.

The purpose of this study is to formulate and evaluate preparations with alternative routes of using potassium diclofenac through the transdermal patch. Preparation of the matrix patches used the solvent casting method. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) was used as a matrix for the formation of transdermal diclofenac potassium patches, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as the plasticizer and menthol as the permeation enhancer. The in vitro assay was carried out in a modified Franz diffusion cell and the rates of diffusion were determined by UV spectroscopy. The average drug content, thickness, organoleptic, weight uniformity of the matrix patches was also determined. The results showed that the average dosage rate of diffusion test Patch is 1,3884 mg/cm2 with permeation percentage 8,9 % for 180 minutes.  Keywords: Transdermal; Patch; diclofenac potassium; menthol
