Abstract :
Intestinal nematode is one of the causes of nematodiasis. Alternative
treatments for nematodiasis are natural ingredients from herbal plants that have
potential as anthelmintic against intestinal nematodes, namely Veitchia merrillii
seeds, mango arumanis (Mangifera indica L.), katuk leaves (Sauropus
androgynus), turmeric (Curcuma domestica), jambe seeds (Areca catechu), and
ambon bananas (Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum (L.)). The purpose of this study
was to determine the types of natural ingredients from herbal plants that contain
anthelmintic against nematodes.
This type of research uses secondary data sets taken from scientific journal
reviews, theses, theses, and scientific papers relating to natural substances as
natural anthelmintic against intestinal nematodes. Research from journal reviews
or related articles is carried out in February to June. Research samples from each
review of the study were Ascaridia galli, Raillietin tertagona, and Ascaris suum.
The review results show that there are natural ingredients from herbal plants
in Indonesia, namely Veitchia merriilli seeds, turmeric (Curcuma domestica), and
ambon bananas (Musa paradisiaca var. Sapientum (L.)) that cause 100% of worm
deaths and jambe (Areca catechu) causing 80% mortality, the results of the worm
mortality response are classified as "very strong" criteria. Katuk leaves (Sauropus
androgynus) ethanol extracts cause 61.7% of deaths classified as "strong" criteria.
Whereas natural ingredients of katuk leaf water extract (Sauropus androgynus)
caused 32.7% mortality and arumanis mango leaves (Mangifera indica L.) caused
50% death, the response to worm mortality was classified as "moderate". These
six natural ingredients are known to contain secondary metabolites such as tannins,
saponins, and flavonoids that are most commonly found in identified natural
ingredients, in addition to several other compounds also found, namely alkaloids,
triterpenoids, terpenoids, sterols, phenols, monoterpenes, quinones.
The most potential natural material as an anthelmintic against intestinal
nematodes, namely turmeric (Curcuma domestica) which causes death by 100%
with the lowest concentration in the fastest time.
