Fermented  Artocarpus altilis leaves contains phenolic compound  that has pharmacological activity. Differences in fermentation method, i.e., aerobic and anaerobic fermentation might change its characteristics and biological activity. The purpose of this study was to compare toxicity properties between aerobically and anaerobically fermented  Artocarpus altilis leaves  using brine shrimp lethality (BSL) test. Both types of fermented leaves were cold extracted using ethanol solvent (1:6) for 3 x 24 hours. Phytochemical screening was then performed to examine the presence of secondary metabolite compounds. BSL test was performed in 7 treatment groups, i.e., negative control, 1000, 500, 100, 50, 25, 12.5 ppm of extract. Each vial contained 10 Artemia larvae, extract, and sea water up to 10 ml. Toxicity is measured by calculating LC50 after 24 hours observation. The  experiment was repeated three times. The results of the study showed that LC50 of aerobic extract was 712 ppm, thus it can be categorized as toxic, while that of anaerobic extract is 1.927 ppm, or non-toxic to the Artemia salina larvae. In conclusion, aerobically fermented  Artocarpus altilis leaves had toxicity potency, while anaerobically fermented  Artocarpus altilis leaves had no toxicity potency against Artemia salina in BSL test. Key words: Artocarpus altilis, brine shrimp lethality test, toxicity.

Abstract: Papaya tree is one of the medicinal plant types which advantages for traditional medicine. The flavonoid, alkaloid and saponin were the compounds of papaya leaves. There potentially as cytotoxic for certain levels. The purpose of this research is to determine the potency cytotoxic ethanol extract papaya leaves against Artemia salina Leach larvae using Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. Research method by quasi experimental, and purposive sampling used 360 Artemia salina Leach larvae divided to 5 groups treatment. Each group contains 15 larvaes. Each group is done by the replication of research for 4 times. The extract concentration are 1000, 750, 500, 250, 100 and 0 µg/ml as a negative control. Data have been obtained by calculating amount of died larvae 24 hours after treatment. Mean percentage larvae death in the concentration of 1000, 750, 500, 250, 100 and 0 µg/ml consecutively were 95%, 78,33%, 53,33%, 36,67%, 21,67% and 0%. Through the data, LC50 value was analyzed by probit analysis using Microsoft offce excel. The higher of extract concentration cause higher percentage death of the larvae. This result shows that LC50 value of ethanol extract of papaya leaves is 285,693 µg/ml (less than 1000 µg/ml). The conclusion is the ethanol extract of papaya leaves had acute toxicity potency against Artemia salina Leach larva according to Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT).

Ganoderma lucidum is polyporus fungi from Basidiomycetes which can be used as traditional medicines. Toxicity test with Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BST) method using Artemia salina was conducted to find out toxic effect of G.lucidum. An extract would have toxic effect if the LC50 < 1000 µg/ml. The aims of this experiment were to know about the toxicity level from G.lucidum with Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BST) method and determined the concentration of fruiting body extract of G.lucidum which had the best toxicity effect in LC50. There were two extraction methods used in this experiment, first one stage extraction and then multilevel extraction with hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. Each solvent was made in 1000 ppm, 500 ppm, 250 ppm, and 125 ppm. This process was repeated for three times. This experiment used G.lucidum extract which was tested to A.salina and secunder compound metabolit test from the most toxic G. lucidum was done with phytochemical analysis. The result indicated that fruiting body extract from G.lucidum could kill A.salina because all extract was positively contained alkaloid and terpenoid but negatively contained flavonoid. Fruiting body extract from G.lucidum which had lowest LC50 wass ethyl asetat extract with one stage extraction in concentration 53,70 ppm and highest LC50 was ethanol extract with multilevel extraction in concentration 501,18 ppm.

Latar belakang : Pengembangan senyawa antikanker dari bahan alami perlu dilakukan untuk meminimalisir efek samping dari penanganan penyakit kanker yang saat ini banyak dilakukan. Suatu senyawa dapat diketahui potensi antikankernya dengan pendekatan menggunakan metode BST (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test). Ekstrak metanol daun saga (Abrus precatorius L.) bersifat toksik terhadap larva A. salina Leach.   Tujuan : Mengetahui bagian teraktif dari ekstrak metanol daun saga yang dipartisi (dipisahkan) menggunakan pelarut etanol.   Metode : Ekstrak metanol daun saga dipartisi dengan pelarut etanol hingga terbentuk bagian larut dan tidak larut. Kedua bagian tersebut diuji menggunakan metode BST dengan 5 kali ulangan dan 3 replikasi yang masing-masing menggunakan 10  ekor larva A.salina.   Hasil : Dari perhitungan didapatkan nilai LC50 bagian larut etanol sebesar 144,544 ppm sedangkan nilai LC50 bagian tidak larut etanol sebesar 151,356 ppm.   Kesimpulan : Bagian larut etanol menyebabkan persentase kematian yang lebih tinggi daripada bagian tidak larut. Nilai LC50 bagian larut etanol lebih rendah dibanding bagian tidak larutnya. Semakin rendah nilai LC50 senyawa, maka semakin berpotensi pula untuk dikembangkan sebagai agen antikanker.   Kata kunci : toksisitas, Abrus precatorius L., Artemia salina Leach., antikanker, partisi.

ABSTRACTBioactive compounds that are suspected of having anticancer activity are first tested for activity by means of a toxicity test. The purpose of this test is to obtain data on the ability of the activity of a bioactive compound to kill cells at small doses so as to obtain a lethal concentration or lethal data. These two measurements are often called LC50 or LD50, concentrations that can kill 50% of test animals. This study aims to test the cytotoxic activity of Thalassia hemprichii seagrass extract using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method.The results of the study showed that the mortality of Artemia salina larvae was influenced by the concentration of the test, meaning that the higher the concentration the more test animals died. Furthermore, the results of the probit analysis contained the toxicity activity of bio active compounds from seagrasses where the LC50 was 3.95 mg / l. A substance is declared to have the potential for cytotoxic activity if it has a value of LC50 at concentrations <1000 ppm for extracts and at concentrations <30 ppm for a compound. Keywords: Cytotoxic Activity, Thalassia hemprichii, Brine shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT)

Kolagen dan kitosan dapat digunakan sebagai bahan pembalut luka karena memiliki karakteristik yang baik. Namun, pembalut luka kolagen-kitosan perlu dilakukan uji sitotoksisitas sebelum diaplikasikan secara in vivo, seperti Brine Shrimp Lethally Test (BSLT). Pembalut luka kolagen-kitosan tidak dapat larut dalam Dimetil Sulfoksida (DMSO) dan aquadest dengan mudah, oleh karena itu perlu pertimbangan alternatif pelarut karena kolagen dan kitosan lebih mudah larut dalam pelarut asam seperti asam klorida (HCl) dan asam asetat ( CH3COOH). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Lethal Concentration  50 (LC50) dari pembalut luka kolagen-kitosan yang dilarutkan dalam pelarut DMSO, HCl, CH3COOH dengan metode Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). Pembalut luka kolagen-kitosan didapatkan dengan mencampurkan larutan kitosan 2% dan kolagen dengan perbandingan 1:1 w/w kemudian dihomogenkan, dicetak, dan dikeringkan.  Penelitian ini menggunakan uji sitotoksisitas dengan metode BSLT dan LC50 dihitung menggunakan Analisis Probit. Pembalut luka dilarutkan dalam pelarut DMSO 1%, CH3COOH 1%, dan HCl 1% hingga homogen, kemudian diencerkan dengan berbagai konsentrasi yaitu 100 ppm, 250 ppm, 250 ppm, 500 ppm, dan 1000 ppm dengan tiga kali ulangan untuk setiap perlakuan. Setelah itu uji BSLT dilakukan dengan menggunakan Artemia salina. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembalut luka yang dilarutkan dalam DMSO 1% memiliki LC50 > 1000 ppm, sedangkan pada pelarut CH3COOH dan pelarut  HCl menunjukkan  LC50< 30. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pelarut DMSO bersifat non-toksik (LC50  > 1000 ppm), tetapi pelarut CH3COOH 1% dan HCl 1% bersifat sangat toksik (LC50 < 30 ppm) sebagai pelarut alternatif pembalut luka kolagen-kitosan pada uji BSLT.
