Abstract :
Suji leaf (Dracaena Angustifolia Roxb.) is a medicinal plant used to heal
wounds. The content of secondary compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids,
saponins, tannins, steroids and terpenoids in suji leaves are alleged to have activity
on the healing process of burns. The purpose of this study was to determine the
activity of 70% ethanol extract of suji leaves and the optimal dose concentration of
70% ethanol extract of suji leaves on the healing process of burns. The extract was
made into a gel preparation with a quality control test which included organoleptic,
homogeneity, dispersibility, adhesion, pH and viscosity tests. This research is an
experimental study with Wistar strain white Rats consisting of 5 treatment groups.
The five treatment groups included a positive control test group, a negative control
group, and an extract concentration of 5%, 6% and 7%. The formation of second
degree burns by the method of applying hot metal. Burns were observed for 15
days by measuring the diameter of the wound. The results obtained were processed
using SPSS One Way ANOVA software followed by the Tukey PostHoc Test and
observed by the percentage of burn wound. The statistical results obtained showed
a p value <0.05, which means positive control, negative control, formulas 1, 2 and
3 have significant differences.
