Daya Hambat Ekstrak Daun Binahong (Anredera cordifolia Steenis) Terhadap Pertumbuhan Bakteri Streptococcus mutans
Abstract
Abstract: Herbal plants in Indonesia have been widely used as ingredients in traditional medicine; one of them is binahong plant (Anredera cordifolia Steenis). Binahong has roots, tubers, stems, flowers, and leaves that contain active compounds, namely flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and saponins. The active compounds of flavonoids can act directly as antibiotics by interfering with the function of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Binahong also contains active antimicrobials that can be used to prevent bacterial growth. This study was aimed to determine the inhibition effect of binahong leaf extract (Anredera cardifolia Ssteenis) against the growth of Streptococcus mutans. This was a literature review study by searching databases of Google Scholar and Pubmed. The keywords used were Binahong leaf (Anredera Cordifolia Steenis), Streptococcus mutans. After being selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 experimental literatures were obtained. The results showed that as many as 10 literatures stated that binahong leaf extract could inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans depending on the amount of binahong leaf extract given. In conclusion, binahong leaf extract has the ability to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans which depends on the amount of the leaf extract.

Abstrak: Tanaman herbal di Indonesia telah banyak digunakan sebagai bahan obat tradisional, salah satunya ialah tanaman binahong (Anredera cordifolia Steenis). Binahong memiliki akar, umbi, batang, bunga, daun yang mengandung senyawa aktif yaitu flavonoid, alkanoid, terpenoid dan saponin. Senyawa aktif flavonoid dapat berperan langsung sebagai antibiotik dengan menggangu fungsi mikroorganisme seperti bakteri dan virus. Binahong juga mengandung antimikroba yang aktif sehingga dapat digunakan dalam mencegah pertumbuhan bakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui daya hambat ekstrak daun binahong (Anredera cardifolia Steenis) terhadap pertumbuhan bakteri Streptoccocus mutans. Jenis penelitian ini suatu literature review. Pencarian data menggunakan database Google Scholar dan Pubmed dengan kata kunci yaitu daun Binahong (Anredera Cordifolia Steenis), Streptococcus mutans. Setelah diseleksi berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi didapatkan 10 literatur eksperimental yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa ke 10 literatur tersebut menyatakan ekstrak daun binahong memiliki daya hambat terhadap pertumbuhan bakteri Streptococcus mutans, dan daya hambatnya tergantung dari banyaknya ekstrak daun binahong yang diberikan. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah ekstrak daun binahong mampu menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri Streptococcus mutans yang dipengaruhi oleh banyaknya ekstrak daun tersebut.
Kata kunci: daun binahong (Anredera cordifolia Steenis); Streptococcus mutans
