Standardization of Simplicia and Ethanol Extract of Purun Danau (Lepironia articulata (Retz.) Domin) Rhizome

Abstract

Purun Danau (Lepironia articulata (Retz.) Domin) has been shown to have antimalarial and antioxidant activity. This study aimed to standardize simplicia and extract of L. articulata by determining the value of its specific and non-specific parameters. A sampling of L. articulata rhizome was carried out in Guntung Manggis, Haur Gading, and Halat. The standardization method used was based on the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia and the General Standard Parameter of Extract. The organoleptic observations showed that L. articulata simplicia was reddish-brown in color, chelated taste, and had a specific odor. Microscopic observation showed parts of this plant: epidermis, cortex, endodermis, parenchyma, bundle vessels, and scalariform vessels. Ethanol-soluble extract content was 10.00-12.66%, water-soluble extract content 8.03-10.87%, drying shrinkage 7.10-7.33%, total ash content 2.03-2.52%, acid-insoluble ash 0.33-0.42%, Pb content 5.698-9.989 ppm, Cd content 0.300-0.500 ppm, Hg content 0.070-0.090 ppm. Ethanol extract of L. articulata rhizome contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, and saponins. The yield obtained was 8.05-11.23%, total ash content was 1.58-1.67%, acid-insoluble ash was 0.23-0.33%, and water content was 7.10-8.50%. Standardization of simplicia and ethanol extract of L. articulata rhizome has met the criteria.

Antibacterial activity of mangrove plant extract of Rhizophora apiculata in inhibiting the growth of various strains of Aeromonas hydrophila

“…The flavonoid phytochemical test showed a positive result marked by the appearance of a yellow color; the alkaloid compound test showed a positive result with the formation of orangeyellow spots; the tannin compound test showed a positive result with the appearance of an orange-brown color, while the terpenoid compound test showed a negative result because no brown spots were formed. The results of this study followed previous studies, that flavonoids were detected marked by changing the color to reddish-yellow (Malik et al 2017;Syawal et al 2020), alkaloids were detected by changing the color to orange (Arnida et al 2021), while tannins were detected by changing the color to brownish yellow (Arnida et al 2021;Refamurty et al 2023). Extraction results depend on the extract solvent.…”

Standarisasi Ekstrak Rimpang Wundu Watu (Alpinia monopleura) dan Aktivitasnya sebagai Antiinflamasi Secara In Vitro

“…Susut pengeringan dilakukan untuk memberikan batasan maksimal (rentang) sejumlah senyawa yang hilang pada proses pengeringan (Utami et al, 2020). Pada umumnya, susut kering berkaitan dengan kadar air yang terkandung dalam simplisia/ekstrak, sehingga semakin kecil susut pengeringan maka hasilnya semakin baik (Arnida et al, 2021). Parameter susut pengeringan pada dasarnya adalah pengukuran sisa zat setelah pengeringan pada temperatur 105 o C sampai berat konstan.…”

“…Manusia membutuhkan mineral seperti kalsium, fosfor, dan magnesium untuk pembentukan tulang, natrium, dan klorida untuk cairan tubuh, serta zat besi untuk membentuk hemoglobin dan sel darah merah (Sutomo et al, 2019). Mineral juga dapat berbahaya jika terakumulasi dalam tubuh manusia dalam jangka waktu yang lama, yang dapat mengganggu sistem peredaran darah, saraf, dan ginjal seperti merkuri, timbal, tembaga, kadmium, dan strontium (Arnida et al, 2021).…”

Pharmacognostic Study of Bawang Dayak (Eleutherine bulbosa (Mill.) Urb.) and its Clay Mask Against Acne-Causing Bacteria

“…The physico-chemical or non-specific parameters showed a drying loss of 8.67%, consistent with the standards set by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BPOM RI), which is less than 10%. 22 Drying loss was determined to maintain the simplicia's quality because it was linked to the growth of molds or fungi, as well as volatile substances. A lower water content results in the growth of less mold, fungus, and enzymatic reactions that can degrade the product's quality.…”
