“…Banana leaves make an excellent alternative wound dressing [14,15]. Cold infusions prepared from the roots of Musa paradisiaca are used in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases [16]. In South-East Asian and other cultures, banana leaves are widely used as food wrapping as well as serving plates [17].…”

“…To assess ethnomedicinal claims from banana, it is essential to study the antibacterial activity against relevant pathogens. Most previous studies of antimicrobial properties of banana pertain to a single popular cultivar, and often focus on the use of one plant part [16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Therefore, we designed a study of the antimicrobial activity of different parts of selected banana cultivars against food-borne and clinically important pathogens, including Candida albicans biofilm.…”

Ten banana (Musa spp.) cultivars were studied for their antimicrobial properties. Three plant parts (corm, pseudostem and leaves) were collected separately and extracted with different solvents, viz., hexane, acetone, ethanol and water. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was evaluated using a broth microdilution assay. Eight human bacterial and one fungal pathogen were tested. Acetone and ethanol extract(s) often exhibited significant antimicrobial activity, while hexane extracts were less active. Aqueous extracts often showed microbial growth, possibly by endophytes. Leaf extracts were most active, followed by pseudostem, and corm was least active. All the tested banana cultivars were found to contain antimicrobials, as demonstrated by inhibition of selected human pathogens. However, cultivars such as Dole, Saba, Fougamou, Namwah Khom, Pelipita and Mbwazirume showed a broad-spectrum activity, inhibiting all tested pathogens. Other cultivars such as Petit Naine and Kluai Tiparot showed a narrow-spectrum activity, including antibiofilm activity against Candida albicans. Our results support the use of different parts of banana plants in traditional human medicine for infections, including diarrhea and dysentery, and some sexually transmitted diseases, as well as for packaging spoilable materials like food.

“…Ekstraksi bonggol pisang ambon dilakukan dengan metode maserasi menggunakan pelarut metanol mengikuti metode yang dilakukan Asuquo dan Udobi 19 . Sampel bonggol pisang ambon di potong tipis, kemudian dikeringkan dengan ditutupi oleh kain hitam di bawah sinar UV, lalu ditumbuk hingga menjadi simplisia dan ditimbang berat keringnya.…”

Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main vector of dengue virus causing dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in Indonesia. The main preventive action is to control the presence of Ae. aegypti mosquito. Banana plants are known to contain secondary metabolite compounds acting as a natural insecticide, including the hump part. This research was conducted to evaluate to toxicity of hump of Ambon banana extract (Musa acuminata L. cv. Gros Michel) to dengue vector Ae. aegypti mosquito. The research used experimental method, the treatment concentration was 0.001; 0.01; 0.1; 1; 10; 100 and 1000 ppm of Ambon banana methanol extract and 0 ppm concentration as a control, each with three replications. The variables observed were individual deaths at every stage of development and morphological damage. The data obtained were analyzed using the analysis of variety and Duncan test with 95% confidence level. In addition, probit analysis was used to determine the value of LC50. The results showed that the study of toxicity indicates that in the further stage of development, the toxicity of methanol extract from Ambon banana hump was less toxic. Toxicity of Ambon banana hump methanol extract was highest in egg with LC50 value of 314,852 ppm. The methanol extract of banana Ambon has the morphological destructive activity in all development stages of Ae. aegypti.Abstrak. Nyamuk Ae. aegypti merupakan vektor utama virus dengue penyebab demam berdarah dengue (DBD) di Indonesia. Upaya pencegahan utama adalah dengan mengendalikan keberadaan nyamuk Ae. aegypti. Tanaman pisang diketahui memiliki kandungan senyawa metabolit sekunder yang memiliki aktivitas sebagai insektisida nabati, termasuk bagian bonggol. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi daya toksisitas ekstrak metanol bonggol pisang ambon (Musa acuminata L. cv. Gros Michel) terhadap nyamuk vektor dengue Ae. aegypti. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimental dengan desain penelitian rancangan acak lengkap (RAL), perlakuan yang dicoba berupa konsentrasi ekstrak metanol bonggol pisang ambon 0,001; 0,01; 0,1; 1; 10; 100, 1000 ppm dan 0 ppm sebagai kontrol, masing-masing dengan tiga kali ulangan. Variabel yang diamati adalah kematian individu pada setiap tahap perkembangan dan kerusakan morfologi. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam dan uji duncan dengan taraf kepercayaan 95%, dan untuk menentukan nilai LC50 menggunakan analisis probit dengan aplikasi SPSS 16. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semakin lanjut tahap perkembangan nyamuk Ae. aegypti, ekstrak metanol bonggol pisang ambon semakin tidak toksik. Daya toksik ekstrak metanol bonggol pisang ambon paling tinggi pada telur dengan nilai LC50 314,852 ppm, dengan aktivitas berupa penghambatan penetasan telur, sedangkan paling rendah pada imago dengan nilai LC50 1755,077 ppm. Ekstrak metanol bonggol pisang ambon memiliki aktivitas merusak morfologi semua tahap perkembangan Ae. aegypti.

Phytomedicines are used in mankind to treat various diseases in the line of medicine. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the phytochemical composition of Musa Acuminata bract and to assess the antibacterial activities by in vitro screening methods. The bract of Musa Acuminata were collected from the market and identified. Phytochemical analysis of methanolic extract of bracts of Musa Acuminata revealed the presence alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, polyphenol and coumarin. The antibacterial effect was carried out on Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (E-coli) bacterial species using agar well diffusion method. The study results revealed that the methanolic extract of Musa Acuminata bract is effective against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (E-coli) bacterial species. The study results concluded that the methanolic extract of Musa Acuminata bract can be used for the treatment of infections caused by bacteria.
