“…The study also reported that seahorses are the highest-mentioned marine resources used to cure illnesses such as asthma, heart-related diseases, dysfunction, wounded in body, reduces body temperature, detox, and skin disease problems. Supported by past research, which demonstrated that seahorses have numerous nutrients for human health with bioactive content that can function as anti-cancer agents, anti-fatigue, anti-aging (Sari et al, 2018) asthma, heart, thyroid, and skin diseases.…”

Traditional medicine is an alternative medicine adopted by local communities using natural resources from plants and animals. This study aims to explore consumers' knowledge and perceptions of the use of marine resources as traditional medicinal properties. The qualitative method of utilizing an in-depth face-to-face interview was used to gather the data from the respondents. The sample comprises communities from the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, including traditional practitioners, fishermen, villagers, and members of the public. Twenty-four marine resources have been identified as being used as traditional medicines, and most of the identified resources are effective in treating illnesses. The highest frequencies mentioned are seahorses that have been used as a traditional medicine to cure asthma. The knowledge and belief in the benefits of using marine resources as traditional medicine have been passed down from generation to generation, especially from older generations and traditional healers. These have contributed to the positive perception towards marine resources as a traditional medicine to cure illnesses, enhancement of sustainable livelihood, good health, and well-being among users. The results of this study are valuable and useful in developing more marine-based alternative medicines by using the scientific investigation to overcome health problems among Malaysians and also expected to help the government in documenting marine resources that can be used to treat illnesses. Since this study is limited only to the coastal areas in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, future research should focus on other coastal areas of Malaysia for the purpose of discovering other potential marine resources being used as Traditional medicines. Furthermore, future research should also expand into quantitative research that might focus on a larger and wider population of traditional medicine users or potential customers.

“…The steroid and triterpenoid were analyzed using the Liebermann–Buchard method. Saponin and tannin contents were analyzed using magnesium (Mg) and flavonoids were analyzed using chloride acid (HCl) and amyl alcohol [ 5 ]. Detection and quantification of amino acids were conducted using the HPLC detector fluorescence and HPLC PDA.…”

“…There are more than 50 species of seahorses worldwide [ 3 ], and 33 species are found in Indonesia [ 4 ]. One of the seahorse species in Indonesia is the Hippocampus comes L. (HCL), which is the most used in traditional medicine because of its medicinal value [ 5 – 7 ]. In Indonesia, HCL is used in traditional medicine as a “Jamu” [ 4 ] because it has biocompounds including the aphrodisiac effect, respiratory system, immune system, and antioxidant, antifatigue, and anti-inflammatory properties [ 8 , 9 ].…”

“…To date, research on seahorses in Indonesia commonly uses ethanol as a solvent. Several reports described the extraction with ethanol [ 5 ], water [ 12 ], ether acetate [ 13 ], and methanol [ 14 ]. However, no previous research has compared HCL extraction solvents to ethanol and water.…”

“…There is a discrepancy between the existing data and the secondary metabolite level of HCL, which is the most common species in Indonesia. Previous studies in Indonesia by Sari et al [ 5 ] and Safryna [ 10 ] revealed that HCL extracted with ethanol solvents contained amino acids and steroids. Using a qualitative test, the study identified the possible presence of steroids.…”

Objective: Indonesia is an archipelagic country with a mega biodiversity, among others, in the marine area. Seahorses (Hippocampus spp.) are a marine fish known to have biocompounds used in traditional medicine “Jamu,” such as Hippocampus comes L. (HCL). The present study aims to analyze and compare the chemical contents of cultured seahorse (CS) and natural seahorse (NS) extracts. Materials and Methods: The CS and NS were identified morphometrically. After freeze-drying, the seahorses were ground into powder with a grinder. The seahorse powder was extracted with ethanol and a water solvent. The extract contained biocompounds, proximate, amino acids, and steroids with high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: The study found unique characteristics of HCL. The highest yield was obtained in NS using a water solvent (18.6%). The biocompounds in seahorses consist of alkaloids and triterpenoids. The highest proximate of water content (11.03%) and ash content (42.50%) was found in NS. In addition, other compounds were also detected in CS, such as fat (7.48%) and protein (47.67%). Both of HCL’s different sources had all essential and nonessential amino acids in which the highest concentration were in NS, i.e., L-arginine (56,537.22 mg/kg), L-lysine (17,794.17), glycine (113,649.80 mg/kg), L-proline (47,056.15), and L-alanine (43,451.81). The analysis of the steroid compound of the extract suggested the presence of steroid glycosides. Conclusion: The highest yield of the seahorse extract with a water solvent is about 18.6% and protein content of 47.67% in CS. The crude extract has alkaloids, triterpenoids, and glycine (113,649.80 mg/kg) in NS with water, suggesting the presence of steroid glycosides.
