Morphological Characteristics and Content of Secondary Metabolite Compounds of Medicinal Plants for Postpartum Infection Therapy
Abstract
This study investigated the potential of medicinal plants in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, specifically focusing on Ageratum conyzoides, Mussaenda frondosa, Curcuma longa, and Uncaria gambir, which are utilized by the Dayak tribe for treating postpartum infections. Morphological observations were conducted in two distinct locations, namely Kota Besi District and Mentaya Hulu District of East Kotawaringin. The findings of this study offer a comprehensive understanding of the morphological characteristics and secondary metabolite compounds of medicinal plants in Central Kalimantan. The research employed an exploratory survey method involving direct observations of plant morphology at the research site, with the selection of the observed area utilizing a purposive sampling technique. The study aimed to qualitatively describe the morphological characteristics and analyze the compound content of Ageratum conyzoides, Mussaenda frondosa, Curcuma longa, and Uncaria gambir. Despite morphological variations between locations, the similarities in morphological characteristics and secondary metabolite compound content suggest comparable potential uses. The analysis of secondary metabolite compounds contributes to the traditional knowledge regarding the bioactive properties of these plants. The bioactive compounds identified in these plants include flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins/phenols, steroids, triterpenoids, and saponins. The study concludes that the information obtained can enhance public awareness of the health benefits associated with traditional medicinal plants, particularly in the treatment of postpartum infections. The similarities in morphological characteristics and secondary metabolite compound content between locations indicate similar potential uses, with considerations for ecological and sustainability aspects in their utilization, which serves as the final outcome of this research.
