“…Mutengia calabura have been in use for a long time as a folk medicinal herb because a different part of the plant possess different medicinal value such as anti-diabetic, anti-gout, antihypertensive, laxative, antiseptic, anti-seizure, gastroprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as it shows efficacy against productive cough, flu, headache and fever 4 . Along with medicinal value, this species has been identified as a good bio-indicator of air pollution in various studies 5 . The presence of phenolic or polyphenols, flavonoids, tocopherols, cinnamic acid derivatives, flavonoids, polifungsional acids and coumarin in Muntingia calabura leaves contributes to their antioxidant action.…”

Muntingia calabura is a blooming evergreen plant. This plant has a unique traditional significance in different parts of the world. Based on traditional value pre-clinical research being conducted around the world, including identified phytochemicals responsible for various pharmacological activities. This review focuses on the taxonomical classification, worldwide geographical distribution, isolated constituents, traditional importance, therapeutic activity as well as the toxicity of the plant extract on animals. All the data included in this article was gathered from different online search engines. As a result of the survey signified that this plant has several traditional utilization-like headaches, tranquilizer, antispasmodic, including colds, gastric ulcers, antibacterial, insomnia and so on. Modern scientific studies have revealed that M. calabura has significant pharmacological properties, such as gastroprotective, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective, anti-bacterial and anti-diabetic, which are attributed to various phytochemicals found in various parts of the plant which are identified by using various techniques. This review focuses on ethnomedicinal applications, phytochemicals, toxicity and pharmacological properties, as well as continuing pre-clinical trials. Moreover, the review's findings will be valuable in building a full plant profile, which will support the investigator in subsequent research and fill in the gaps in clinical investigations.

“…Penampang melintang (Gambar 4a-c) pada daun M. oleifera dan A. muricata teridentifikasi trikoma non glandular (Gambar 4a,c), sedangkan pada daun M. calabura teridentifikasi trikoma glandular (Gambar 4b) penghasil sekret. Trikoma kelenjar yang teridentifikasi termasuk trikoma kelenjar tipe kapitat yang terdiri atas: kepala sekretori (secretory head), tangkai (stalk), dan sel basal (basal cell) (Seixas et al, 2021).…”

It is very important to validate the characterization of medicinal plants to ensure their use, especially if the medicinal plants are to be used only for certain organs. This study aimed to obtain information related to the type of secretory structure and the secondary metabolites they accumulated, as well as the phytochemical profile of three antihypercholesterolemic plants. This study used three organs (leaves, stem bark, and roots) from Moringa oleifera, Muntingia calabura, and Annona muricata with anatomical, histochemical, and phytochemical methods. Anatomical and histochemical tests were carried out by observing the fresh sample incision to see the presence of secretory structures (secretory cavities, glandular trichomes, idioblast cells). Histochemical tests were carried out on fresh sample incision using specific reagents to determine the secretory structure producing/accumulating secondary metabolites (alkaloids, phenolics, lipophilic, and terpenoids), while phytochemical tests were carried out to identify their secondary metabolites with thin layer chromatographic technique (qualitative). The results showed that the three antihypercholesterolemic plants contained several secretory structures, namely: glandular trichomes, idioblast cells, and secretory cavities, and were identified as containing secondary metabolites of alkaloids, phenolics, lipophilic, and terpenoids. This finding is supported by the chromatographic results of the extracts of the three species. Techniques based on anatomical, histochemical, and phytochemical profiles can be applied to identify plant organs containing specific secondary metabolites
