Analisis Pengaruh Ekstraksi Non-Polar Batang Pohon Tanjung (Mimusops Elengil.) terhadap Larva Aedes aegypti (L.)
Tanjung or Mimusops elengi is one of a tree that has many therapeutic effects and has been widely studied as an alternative drug like anti-inflammatory agent, diarrhea, and asthma. This study tested the larvicidal ability of Tanjung bark extract for larvae of Aedes aegypti. The solvent that will be used for Mimusops elengi stem extraction in this research is semi-polar and non-polar solvent, which is ethyl acetate and hexane. The method used in this research was reflux extraction and proceed further with fractionation that has been analyzed by thin layer chromatography.
The larvicidal activity of Mimusops elengi extract was tested using a bioassay method that has been established by WHO to determine LC50 and LCgO which can be processed further in order to compare the ejjicacy ofsolvent used. The LC50 value of the extract 1,2 and 3, were each 59.36 ppm, 82.53 ppm, and 110.42 ppm. The experimental results showed that hexane has the most powerful larvicidal ability compared to other extracts.
