Literature Study to Obtain The Scientific Basis for the Use of Imperata Roots as a Medicinal Herb for Healing Several Diseases in Rumah Riset Jamu Hortus Medicus
Abstract
Abstract
Alang-alang or Imperata grass known by people the Indonesian has many health benefits . RRJ Hortus Medicus as a service-based research clinic uses alang-alang roots in hebal formula to treat hypertension, osteoarthritis, headache, urinary tract stones, urinary tract infection, stomatitis and prostate enlargement. In addition to having empirical usage data, all plants used in RRJ must have scientific data. This study is a literature study with the aimof obtaining the scientific basis for the use of alang-alang roots. Search articles from scientific journals through google scholar, google and pubmed search engines with the keywords alang-alang or Imperata cylindrica and assistive words in accordance with the claims of use. The selected article is a complete of the results of experiments and surveys that are in accordance with topics both in Indonesian and English until 2018. The results of the study show that Imperata roots contain phenols and tannins which are antioxidants, isogeunin compound as anti-inflammatory, lignans as vasodilation, sinensitin, eupatorin, tetra-O-methylscutellar-ein 3 '-hydroxy-5,6,7 , 4 '-tetramethoxyflavone as a diuretic, imperanene as platelet antiaggregation and 5-hydroxy-2- (2-phenylethyl) chromone and 5-hydroxy-2- [2- (2- hydroxyphenyl) ethyl chromone as neuroprotective . Imperata is also shown to have antimicrobial and anti-neoplasmic activity. The various active compounds and activities above, support the use of Imperata in the Hortus Medicus RRJ.
Abstrak
Tanaman alang-alang sejak dulu telah dikenal oleh masyarakat Indonesia memiliki banyak manfaat bagi kesehatan. Rumah Riset Jamu (RRJ) Hortus Medicus sebagai klinik penelitian berbasis pelayanan menggunakan akar alang-alang dalam ramuan jamu untuk mengobati hipertensi, osteoartritis, nyeri kepala, batu saluran kemih, infeksi saluran kemih, panas dalam, dan pembesaran prostat. Di samping memiliki data penggunaan empiris, semua tanaman yang digunakan di RRJ harus memiliki data ilmiah. Kajian ini merupakan studi literatur dengan tujuan memperoleh dasar ilmiah penggunaan akar alang-alang di RRJ. Penelusuran artikel dari jurnal ilmiah melalui mesin pencari google scholar, google, dan pubmed dengan kata kunci alang-alang atau Imperata cylindrica dan kata bantu sesuai dengan klaim penggunaannya. Artikel yang dipilih adalah artikel lengkap hasil eksperimen maupun survei yang sesuai dengan topik baik berbahasa Indonesia maupun Inggris sampai tahun 2018. Hasil studi menunjukkan akar alang-alang mengandung fenol dan tanin yang bersifat sebagai antioksidan; senyawa isogeunin sebagai anti inflamasi; lignan sebagai vasodilatasi, sinensitin, eupatorin, tetra-O-methylscutellar-ein 3’-hydroxy-5,6,7, 4‘-tetramethoxyflavone sebagai diuretik; imperanene sebagai antiagregasi trombosit dan serta 5-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl) chromone dan 5-hydroxy-2-[2-(2- hydroxyphenyl) ethyl chromone sebagai neuroprotektif. Alang-alang juga terbukti memiliki aktivitas antimikroba dan anti neoplasma. Berbagai kandungan senyawa aktif dan aktivitas di atas, mendukung penggunaan alang-alang di RRJ Hortus Medicus.
