Sarang semut (Myrmecodia beccarii Hook.f.) is a famous medicinal plant of Papua, which has traditionally potential in treating a wide variety of mild and severe illnesses, such as cancers and tumors, gout, coronary heart disease, hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, migraines, rheumatism, and leukemia. The purposes of this study were to determine the content of the active compound group and the cytotoxic activity of sarang semut plants from Merauke Region. The extraction was done by maceration using 96 % ethanol. The concentration of ethanolic extract were 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 ppm. The results of the study showed that the cytotoxic activity determine using BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method have a high cytotoxic activity with LC50 values of 22.86 ppm and containing the active compound namely flavonoids, tannins and saponins separately. The ethanolic extract of tuber of sarang semut (M. beccarii) has a high cytotoxic activity against larvae of Artemia salina Leach according BSLT method. Key words: Active compound, M. beccarii, cytotoxic activity, Merauke.

Longiverbenone is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene isolated from ethanolic extract of Cyperus scariosus rhizome by solvent-solvent portioning and chromatographic technique. The antibacterial activity of longiverbenone was evaluated against eleven potential human pathogenic bacteria using disc diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined by broth macrodilution method. Cytotoxic activity (lethal concentration 50%, LC50) of longiverbenone was determined on new borne brine shrimp (Artemia salina). Longiverbenone showed moderate to good antibacterial activity against the test organisms tested herein. It exhibited the lowest MIC (20 μg/ml) and MBC (80 μg/ml) against Vibrio cholerae. The LC50 of the isolated sesquiterpene was found to be 14.38 μg/ml against new borne brine shrimp.

Coriander is a common herb can be used as traditional medicine. One of the expected benefits of Coriander fruits is an anti-cancer. This study aims to determine the cytotoxic activity of Coriander extract (Coriandrum sativum Linn) on shrimp larvae (Artemia salina Leach) with the BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method. Coriander fruits was extracted using methanol solvent and maceration method, then concentrated it with a rotary evaporator until a thick extract. Cytotoxic activity test used methanol extract with several concentration : 1,000 ppm, 100 ppm, 10 ppm, and 1 ppm. The result of this research reveal that methanol extract of Coriander fruits has cytotoxic activity with LC50 value is 32.35 ppm.

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)

Eleven strains of endophytic fungi which habitat in an endangered, Chinese endemic medicinal plant, Dysosma pleiantha (Hance) Woodson, were isolated and tested for their cytotoxic activity using the brine shrimp lethality bioassay. Six isolates were found to exhibit some cytotoxic activity. Extracts of F1273, F1276, and F1280, which were identified as Trichoderma citrinoviride, Chaetomium globosum and Ascomycete sp., in particular, showed most potent activity with LC50 values of 4.86, 7.71, and 14.88 μg/ml, respectively. These results indicate that endophytic fungi of Dysosma pleiantha could be a promising source for antitumour agents.

Hal ini menunjukan bahwa ekstrak metanol batang ketapang laut (Terminalia catappa L.) bersifat paling toksik dibandingkan fraksi etil asetat dan fraksi air.Kata kunci: Ekstrak, Fraksi, Terminalia catappa L., BSLT, Artemia salina LeachAbstractAcute toxicity is the ability of chemical (drug/drug ingredient) to cause damage to organisms in a relatively short time. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential for acute toxicity of methanol extract, ethyl acetate and water fractions of sea ketapang stem skin (Terminalia catappa L.). Acute toxicity testing was performed using the BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method and program analysis to determine the LC50 values of extracts and fractions. The results of the acute toxicity test showed the LC50 values of methanol extract, ethyl acetate and water fractions of the plant stem skin consecutively were 247,997 ppm; 400,666 ppm and 618,046 ppm. This shows that the methanol extract of sea ketapang stems (Terminalia catappa L.) is the most toxic compared to the ethyl acetate and the water fraction.Keywords: Extract, Fraction, Terminalia catappa L., BSLT, Artemia salina Leach

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the biological activity of extracts of Pithecellobium cochliocarpum, Momordica charantia and Ipomoea asarifolia isolated and associated with the Brine Shrimp test. Method: solutions of different concentrations of the extracts was prepared and metanauplius of Artemia salina were added. Each concentration was tested in triplicate, repeated in two experiments. The set was left in incubation under artificial light for 24 hours and after this time the counting of the number of live larvae and dead was done. It was determined the LC50 in accordance with the statistical method of Probits. Results: the LC50 value obtained for the extracts of Pithecellobium cochliocarpum, Momordica charantia and Ipomoea asarifolia when tested alone was: 543.5 ppm, 400.9 ppm and 916.3 ppm, respectively. For the association of Pithecellobium cochliocarpum and Ipomoea asarifolia, Pithecellobium cochliocarpum and Momordica charantia, and Momordica charantia and Ipomoea asarifolia, the LC50 found was respectively: 641.0 ppm, 502.2 ppm and 706.4 ppm. The association of the three extracts showed an LC50 of 990.8 ppm. Conclusion: all extracts showed biological activity against Artemia salina and their associations can lead to interactions among its constituents. More detailed pharmacological studies should be conducted.

Traditional medicine is currently being explored and developed widely by various countries because its cost effectiveness and reduced side effects. The green betel (Piper betle Linn.) and the red betel (Piper crocatum Ruiz and Pav.) are plants from the same Piper genus that are widely cultivated in Indonesia and have various phytochemical properties and pharmacological effects. The objective of this research is to determine the cytotoxicity of green leaves and red betel leaves. This research was conducted in two main stages: first, the extraction and preparation through the soxhletation method; second, a cytotoxicity test through the brine shrimp (Artemia salina Leach) lethality test (BSLT). The results showed that there were lethal concentration 50 % (LC50) value in both green betel leaves ethanolic extract and red betel leaves ethanolic extract, with 44.975 μg per mL and 31.556 μg per mL, respectively. The red betel (leaves ethanolic extract has a higher cytotoxicity than green betel (leaves ethanolic extract which can be seen from the lower lethal concentration of 50% (LC50) value. The difference in cytotoxicity is due to differences in plant varieties that cause variations in phytochemical content which affects the pharmacological effects. The green betel leaves ethanolic extract and the red betel leaves ethanolic extract are cytotoxic and have potential anticancer properties.
