Introduction

Nangka is the local name used for Artocarpus heterophyllus, Lam (latin name) in the Batak tribe of North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. This plant belongs to the Moracea family which is commonly found in subtropical and tropical countries, especially in Southeast Asia (Liu et al. 2020; Khan et al. 2021). Nangka plants have only been used as plants that produce fruit for consumption, because of the high nutritional content contained in the fruit and good for health (Fu et al. 2020). Besides the fruit, the leaves of this plant are also reported to have various pharmacological benefits, including in the treatment of asthma, diarrhea, anemia and dermatitis (Vázquez-González et al. 2020), antioxidant, antifungal, antitumor, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, tyrosinase inhibitor, antibacterial, antiproliferative (Liu et al. 2020; Sreeja Devi et al. 2021) and antimalarial (Shukla and Kashaw 2019). The pharmacological potential given is supported by the content of secondary metabolite compounds, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, terpenoids, stilbenoids (Gurning et al. 2020; Pranay et al. 2021).

The content of the secondary metabolite compound that is most widely reported to have the potential to be used in various treatments is the flavonoid, tannin, and phenolic groups. For example, the phenolic and flavonoid groups are widely reported to be responsible for various degenerative diseases caused by free radicals (Tungmunnithum et al. 2018; Cosme et al. 2020; Jucá et al. 2020; Mutha et al. 2021), and tannins in various treatments caused by microbes (Girard and Bee 2020; Molino et al. 2020; Fraga-Corral et al. 2021). Based on this information, the group of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins and the analysis of the class of compounds contained in the leaves extracted with ethanol were carried out and the activity was determined as antibacterial.

Materials and methods

Materials

The tools used were laboratory glassware, Whatman filter paper No. 1, hotplate, rotary evaporator (Heidolph), petri dish, wire loop, aluminum foil, tweezers, spray bottle, oven (Memmert UN55), laminary air flow, vortex (Cole Parmer), spreader/L glass, incubator (Memmert IN55), spectrophotometry (Genesys 10S-UV VIS), GC-MS (Shimadzu, QP2010S), SPPS version 27, ingredients including Chloramphenicol, blank disc paper (Oxoid), Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) (Oxoid CM0337), Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO 10%) (Merck), Mc Farland 0.5%, standard reagents for phytochemical screening, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Salmonella typhi (S. typhi), Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis), and Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes).

Preparation of ethanol extract of nangka leaves (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam)

The leaves samples used were fresh, dark green, and good from nangka trees that were already fruiting. The leaves were washed and cleaned in running water, drained, and dried in a sample drying cabinet at 60 °C. The dried leaves samples were powdered with a magnetic blender. The powder was extracted using ethanol solvent by maceration method for 3 days, then filtered using whatman filter paper no 1. The residue was extracted again with a new solvent for 2 days and then filtered. Each macerate was concentrated using a vacuum rotary evaporator at 60 °C and combined. The thick macerate was placed in a glass bottle and stored in the sample cabinet in the pharmacognosy laboratory before the next step.

Phytochemical screening

Phytochemical screening was carried out to qualitatively determine the class of secondary metabolite compounds contained in the sample. Phytochemical screening includes flavonoid, phenolic, tannin, alkaloid, saponin, steroid and triterpenoid compounds using standard reagents (Gurning 2020; Gurning et al. 2020; Silaban et al. 2022).

Determination of the total group of secondary metabolites

Phenolic content

Determination of the class of total phenolic compounds contained in the ethanolic extract of nangka leaves by colorimetric method using Folin-Ciocalteou which was measured using UV-Vis spectrometry at a maximum wavelength of 765 nm (gallic acid wavelength as standard). 250 µL of nangka ethanol extract from 1000 ppm mother liquor was mixed with 400 µL of Folin-Ciocalteou in a 10 mL volumetric flask, allowed to stand for 5 minutes. Once achieved, the addition of a solution of 4 mL of 10% Na2CO3 and distilled water until the mark is 10 mL. The solution mixture was homogenized by centrifugation, then allowed to stand for 30 minutes, then the absorbance was measured by UV-Vis spectrometry (Šafranko et al. 2021; Sousa et al. 2021; Sinaga et al. 2022). Total phenolic was determined equivalence with gallic acid as standard. The standard curve for gallic acid is determined by the concentration (50–150 ppm). Standard line linear regression equation (y = 0.0037× + 0.0056; R2= 0.9501), where y= absorbance and x = gallic acid concentration. The total phenolic content was expressed in mg gallic acid equivalent/gram dry weight ethanolic extract. All measurements were carried out in three times repetition.

Determination of the class of total flavonoid compounds contained in the ethanolic extract of nangka leaves by colorimetric method using 10% AlC3 which was measured using UV-Vis spectrometry at a maximum wavelength of 431 nm (quercetin wavelength as standard). 250 µL of nangka ethanol extract from 1000 ppm mother liquor was mixed with 200 µL of 10% AlC3 and distilled water to the mark of a 10 mL volumetric flask. The solution mixture was homogenized by centrifugation and allowed to stand for 30 minutes at room temperature, then the absorbance was measured by UV-Vis spectrometry (Šafranko et al. 2021; Sousa et al. 2021; Sinaga et al. 2022). Total flavonoids were determined equivalence with quercetin as standard. The standard curve of quercetin is determined by the concentration (25–200 ppm). Standard line linear regression equation (y= 0.0006× + 0.0024; R2= 0.9977), where y = absorbance and x = quercetin concentration. The total flavonoid content was expressed in mg quercetin equivalent/gram dry weight ethanolic extract. All measurements were carried out in three times repetition.

Tannin content

Determination of the class of total tannin compounds contained in the ethanolic extract of nangka leaves by colorimetric method using Folin-Ciocalteou which was measured using UV-Vis spectrometry at a maximum wavelength of 760 nm (tannic acid wavelength as standard). 200 µL of nangka ethanol extract from 1000 ppm mother liquor was mixed with 200 µL of Folin-Ciocalteou in a 5 mL volumetric flask, allowed to stand for 5 minutes. Once achieved, the addition of a solution of 100 µL of saturated Na2CO3 and distilled water was continued to the mark of 5 mL. The solution mixture was homogenized by centrifugation, then allowed to stand for 40 minutes, then the absorbance was measured by UV-Vis spectrometry (Gurning et al. 2021; Patra et al. 2021; Salih et al. 2021; Tandi et al. 2021). Total tannin was determined equivalence with tannic acid as standard. The standard curve for tannic acid is determined by the concentration (100–600 ppm). Standard line linear regression equation (y= 0.0694× +0.0334; R2= 0.9989), where y = absorbance and x = concentration of tannic acid.

Component analysis with GC-MS

Analysis of secondary metabolites contained in the ethanol extract of nangka leaves (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) by GC-MS using GC-MS-QP2010S Shimadzu type equipment with column type DB-5MS with dimensions of 30 meters × 0.25 mn ID × 0.25µm. The carrier gas used was helium with an ionization of 70 Ev, injector temperature of 300 °C, flow rate of 0.52 mL/min, programmed column temperature of 70 °C which was then slowly increased by programmed increments of 5 °C until the temperature was maintained at 300 °C. Identification of compounds is based on similarities to the Willey compound libraries (Gurning et al. 2020; Ojha et al. 2022; Paudel et al. 2022).

Determination of activity as antibacterial

Antibacterial activity was determined by observing the diameter of the clear zone around the disc paper which had been induced by various concentrations of ethanolic extract of nangka leaves (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) according to the scratch plate method. The media used in culturing the bacteria Erscherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Salmonella typhi (S. typhi), Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) Muller Hinton Agar (MHA)) are sterile. The solvent used in making each extract concentration was DMSO. DMSO 10% negative control and chloramphenicol as positive control. A solution of 20 mL of MHA media was put into each petri dish, then allowed to solidify at room temperature. The suspension of each bacterium was taken one loop and scratched in a circle on the media evenly using a cotton bud. Then each concentration of ethanol extract of nangka leaves that had been incubated on disc paper was put into a petri dish and allowed to stand at room temperature (37°C) for 24 hours. Then the antibacterial activity was determined from the clear zone (inhibition zone) which was measured with a caliper. Repeats and measurements were three times repetition (Ghosh et al. 2008; Kasta 2020; Harahap et al. 2021). The significance level between treatments was determined using a one-way ANOVA analysis with p < 0.05.
