Anthocyanins in Mulberry Leaves (Morus rubra L.) Ethanol Extract as the Inhibitor for the Growth of Candida albicans
Infections caused by Candida albicans are generally common in the
vaginal mucosa or called Vulvovaginal Candidiasis. Herbal
medicine is proven to be an alternative to treat vaginal candidiasis.
Mulberry leaves have many chemical compounds, one of which is
anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have pharmacological benefits and
biological activity that can protect against human pathogenic
bacteria. This study aims to observe the effect of anthocyanin
compounds extracted from mulberry leaves (Morus Rubra L) on the
growth of Candida albicans. Identification of compounds on
mulberry leaves used the TLC spectrophotodensitometry on silica
gel 60 F254. TLC plates were washed with methanol and activated
at 110oC for 30 minutes. The plates were eluted in a chamber that
had been saturated with the mobile phase of n-butanol:glacial acetic
acid:water (4:1:2) and transferred using a CMAG TLC densitometer
with a spectrum in the wavelength range of 200-700 nm. Design
study is experimental study with a short Post-Test Only Control
Group. This study was conducted at the Pharmaceutical Biology
Laboratory of PGRI Adi Buana University and the Laboratory of
Professor Nidhom Foundation. The results showed that there was a
content of anthocyanin compounds in mulberry leaves with
antifungal function against Candida albicans.
