Excessive free radical production can lead to oxidative stress that damages DNA, proteins and lipids, triggering serious neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases. Oxidative damage caused by free radicals can be prevented by the activity of antioxidant compounds. Based on previous research, papaya leaves, melinjo leaves, and pelawan leaves as natural antioxidants contain flavonoids and phenolic…
The ethanol extract of Pelawan leaves (Tristaniopsis merguensis Griff.) contains flavonoids, steroids, phenolics, and terpenoids, which have the potential to act as analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents due to their ability to inhibit prostaglandin formation, the main mediator of pain and inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of the extract as well as the analgesic an…
The use of antioxidants can prevent oxidative stress conditions, which cause tissue damage, due to too many free radicals in the body. The body produces antioxidant compounds such as SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), Gpx (Glutathione peroxidase), and catalase to protect the endothelium of blood vessels from free radical attacks, which reduce oxidative stress. This study aims to evaluate the antioxida…
Lawsonia inermis is a traditional medicinal plant used to treat inflammation of the finger joints and skin diseases.The aims of This study were evaluated the efficacy of Lawsonia inermis leaf extract in healing burn and incision wounds. The extraction was carried out using the maceration method with ethanol solvent.The research were used 60 male Wistar rats, divided into six treatment groups (f…
Jatropha curcas linn leaves contain secondary metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids (kaemperol), saponins, steroids, tannins, quinones, and phenols. Empirically, this study aims to determine the characteristics and phytochemical screening of ethanol extracts and fractions of Jatropha curcas leaves, the effect of administering ethanol extracts and fractions on MDA levels, catalase e…
Purple Paper Flower (Bougainvillea spectabilis) has traditionally been used to treat various diseases such as hepatitis, ulcers, vaginal discharge, and irregular menstruation. Its secondary metabolite compounds include alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, quinones, saponins, steroids, tannins, and terpenoids, which have potential to accelerate wound healing. This study aims to identify the character…
The Takokak plant (Solanum torvum Sw.) contains phenolic compounds, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, sterols, saponins, alkaloids, triterpenes, anthraquinones, and anthocyanins, which have potential as natural antioxidants. This study aimed to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid content, antioxidant activity (IC50), and inhibition percentage of ethanol extracts from the roots, flowers, f…
Open wounds are very susceptible to infection, can become ulcers and even chronic if they are not treated and cared for properly. Nanofiber as a modern wound dressing can deliver medicinal ingredients for caring wound. Betel leaves (Piper betle) and Binahong leaves (Anredera cordifolia) contain flavonoids, saponins, tannins which can accelerate the wound healing process. The aim of this study i…
Background: Composite resin has the advantage of mimicking tooth color and good bond strength but is prone to long-term color changes in the oral cavity. Acidic beverages such as carbonated drinks and jamu kunyit asam (turmeric drink) can erode the surface of composite resin and affect color stability. Objective: to examine the effects of these beverages on the color stability of Universal Sing…
