Abstract

Indonesia is a mega-biodiversity country that has around ± 3,000 plant species, which are plants that produce medicinal ingredients. The traditional use of medicinal plants in Indonesia is increasingly preferred because the side effects are smaller than synthetic drugs and are very easy to obtain. One of the medicinal plants that are widely used in Central Sulawesi is the kecapi plant. Kecapi belongs to the Meliaceae family and is commonly used in traditional medicine as a medicine for digestive system disorders, heartburn medicine, ulcer medicine, eye pain medicine, fever medicine, and cough medicine. Parts of plants commonly used as traditional medicine are leaves, fruit, bark, fruit skin and roots. This study aimed to determine the content of secondary metabolic compounds and the antibacterial activity of the medicinal plant kecapi. Phytochemical analysis using the Harbone method and antibacterial activity using by using the well diffusion method. The results showed that the leaf extract of the kecapi (Sandoricum koetjape Merr.) contained flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids. Kecapi leaf extract was very strong in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria at concentrations of 75%, 100% and at concentrations of 25% and 50% categorized into strong categories.
