Summary: | Diarrhea is still a global, regional and national health problem, especially in developing countries
such as Indonesia. Diarrhea is the second deadly disease in children under the age of five. Every
year around 525,000 children die due to diarrhea. Diarrhea is the condition of defecation with
more fluid consistency and frequency three or more times a day within a 24-hour period. Diarrhea
is divided into two groups, namely infectious diarrhea (caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites)
and non- infectious (caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites). Herbal medicine can be used in the
treatment of diarrhea. Duck’s-eyes are used traditionally and their extracts have been shown to
have antidiarrheal effects. However, the active fraction/compound that acts as antidiarrheal and
antibacterial is unknown. This study aims to determine the antidiarrheal effect of Duck’s-eyes
leaves fraction in vivo and determine its antibacterial activity in vitro. In vivo testing was carried
out in castor oil-induced diarrhea mice, while antibacterial testing was carried out in vitro using
the microdilution method. The in vivo test results showed that the n-hexane fraction could reduce
stool consistency at 0 to 1 hour and 1 to 2 hours. Ethyl acetate and water fractions could reduce
stool consistency at 0 to 1 hour, 1 to 2 hours, and 2 to 3 hours. The Ethyl acetate and water
fractions could reduce frequency of defecation 0-1 hours. The three fractions of Lameni leaves
unable to lose stool weight. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the n-hexane fraction
against all bacteria was 25,000 ppm. The MIC of ethyl acetate fraction against Escherichia coli (E.
coli), Salmonella typhi (S. typhi), Shigella dysenteriae (S. dysenteriae), and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) were 12,500 ppm, 12,000 ppm, 25,000 ppm and 50,000 ppm. The MIC
fraction of water in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 50,000 ppm while in the other three bacteria
was 12,500 ppm. The minimum killing concentration (MBC) of the n-hexane fraction in
Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 25,000 ppm. The MBC for the ethyl acetate fraction against
Salmonella typhi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 50,000 ppm while the water fraction for all
test bacteria was > 50,000 ppm. The fractions of n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water had an
antidiarrheal effect in castor oil-induced diarrhea mice and the antibacterial activity against the
four tested bacteria was very weak.
