Phytochemical Screening And Antibacterial Activity Test Of Ethanol Extract Of Jengkol Leaves (Archidendron Pauciflorum Benth.) I.C. Nielsen Against Staphylococcus Epidermidis And Propionibacterium Acnes

Skin disease was a that attacked the surface of body, and caused by various agents, one bacteria. One plants had antibacterial activity jengkol leaf (Archidendron pauciflorum Benth.) I.C. Nielsen because it contained compounds properties previously been studied other researchers against Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli So researcher interested in researching on leaves epidermidis Propionibacterium acnes. Fresh Jengkol were processed into simplicia extracted using 96% ethanol. Phytochemical screening carried out powder extracts leaves. Ethanol extract made several concentrations, namely 20%, 25%, 30%, positive control Tetracycline HCl, negative 1% DMSO. There tests addition to phytochemical screening, examination characteristic including macroscopic examination, microscopic water content, water-soluble levels, ethanol-soluble extracts, total ash also an acid-insoluble levels test The results showed compound class secondary metabolites alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids/triterpenoids, glycosides. And for research could be used as has strong inhibitory power at concentration 20% strongest 30% epidermidis, 15.06 mm 17.83 mm, while diameter growth inhibition zone acnes 15.86 18.1 mm.
