"Pemakaian obat herbal dimasyarakat diiringi dengan berkembangnya industri obat tradisional. Khusus untuk Industri Kecil Obat Tradisional (IKOT) setiap tahun pertumbuhannya semakin meningkat. IKOT turut berkontribusi sebesar 20% dari omset nasional produk herbal. Permasalahan utama yang dihadapi oleh IKOT adalah ketersediaan bahan baku dan kualitas produksi yang belum terstandar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis ketersediaan bahan baku untuk produk IKOT dan kontribusi dari kualitas produk IKOT terhadap pemakaian produk herbal masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan adalah survey dan wawancara kepada 4 IKOT di kota Depok dan responden yang menggunakan produk herbal sebanyak 84 orang. Berdasarkan analisa hasil penelitian diperoleh Y = 0,549 X atau pemakaian produk = 0,549 kualitas produk. Artinya apabila kualitas produk ditingkatkan satu kali maka pemakaian produk akan meningkat 1/0,549 atau sekitar dua kali. Kualitas produk berkaitan secara bermakna dengan kualitas bahan baku herbal. Kontinuitas produksi di IKOT tergantung pada bahan baku yang berasal dari bukan hasil budidaya. Kemitraan dengan petani penyedia bahan baku melalui pola penanaman sistem Good Agriculture Practice (GAP). Pembinaan petani diarahkan pada cara budidaya, pengelolaan panen dan pasca panen serta cara penyimpanan bahan baku yang sesuai dengan Cara Pembuatan Obat Tradisional yang Baik (CPOTB). Kerjasama dengan pihak perguruan tinggi dalam hal pengujian bahan baku herbal harus dilakukan oleh IKOT agar kualitas bahan terstandar.

"Herbal medicines in general are safer than modern drug. This matter is caused by the less side effect of herbal medicines than modern drug. Side effects of herbal medicines can be reduced with the used of right materials, accurat dose, accurat usage time, accurat way of usage, accurat analyze information, and without abusing of herbal medicines itself. Accuracy of materials determine the effect of herbal medicines. Dose measuring in set of gram can lessen possibility the happening of effect which do not be expected. Information which is not supported by adequate basic knowledges and enough study can make traditional drug return to endangering."

"Latar Belakang: Penggunaan jangka panjang steroid sebagai kontrol inflamasi pada uveitis non-infeksi dan idiopatik dapat menyebabkan efek samping, dan hal tersebut memicu kebutuhan untuk agen imunomodulator lainnya. Penggunaan herbal dan obat tradisional saat ini sedang meningkat. Beberapa herbal memiliki efek imunomodulator dan diduga memiliki peran dalam uveitis. Akan tetapi, bukti penggunaan herbal pada uveitis belum diketahui secara pasti.Tujuan: Untuk meninjau bukti-bukti ilmiah mengenai efikasi, keamanan, dan mekanisme penggunaan herbal pada uveitis dan model uveitis.Metode: Tinjauan sistematis berdasarkan panduan Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis. Kata kunci uveitis dan herbal serta sinonim terkait digunakan pada database PubMed, CENTRAL, dan ScienceDirect. Penelitian herbal sebagai terapi ajuvan uveitis pada manusia dan penelitian herbal pada model uveitis dipilih. Penelitian kemudian ditelaah dan dinilai validitasnya.Hasil: Dua uji klinis, satu laporan kasus, dan 32 penelitian hewan mengenai penggunaan herbal pada uveitis ditelaah secara kualitatif. Intervensi ekstrak Echinacea purpurae (pada uveitis anterior) dan kurkuma menghasilkan proporsi kasus inaktif yang tinggi: 85.70% dan 81.48%. Durasi bebas steroid pada kelompok ajuvan Echinacea lebih lama secara signifikan dibandingkan kelompok steroid saja (p<0.05). Intervensi herbal pada model uveitis mencakup 8 preparat herbal, 14 ekstrak herbal, dan 18 komponen herbal. Flare akuos dan skor klinis menurun secara signifikan. Penelitian yang didapat menunjukkan tak adanya efek samping atau kematian.Kesimpulan: Echinacea dan kurkuma menunjukkan potensi yang baik, sementara Gardeniae fructus, Scutellariae radix, Berberis aristata, dan Yanyankang potensial untuk dilanjutkan menjadi penelitian klinis. Penelitian dengan level of evidence yang lebih tinggi dan risiko bias yang lebih rendah masih dibutuhkan. Data keamanan masih minimal. Mekanisme yang didapat dapat menjadi landasan untuk penelitian lanjutan.

Background: In non-infectious and idiopathic uveitis, long-term corticosteroid use can lead to undesirable side effects, and it warrants the need for other immunomodulatory agents. Use of herbal or traditional medicine is currently on rise. Some herbs displayed immunomodulatory features and are expected to have a role in managing uveitis. However, herbal roles in uveitis have not been established yet.

Objective: To review the human and animal evidence of herbal efficacy, safety, and mechanisms in uveitis.

Method: A systematic review was performed using standardised Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guideline. Uveitis and herbal-related keywords were entered in PubMed, CENTRAL, and ScienceDirect databases to obtain evidences regarding herbal therapy in clinical (as adjuvant) and pre-clinical trials. The selected studies were reviewed, extracted, and assessed for their validities.

Result: Two clinical trials, one case report, and thirty-two animal studies were qualitatively reviewed. Echinacea purpurae extract (in anterior uveitis) and curcuma displayed high efficacy in inactive case proportion: 85.70% and 81.48%, respectively. Steroid-free duration in Echinacea adjuvant group was significantly longer than steroid group (p<0.05). Herbal intervention in experimental model consisted of eight herbal preparation, fourteen herbal extracts, and eighteen herbal components, with decreased aqueous flare measurement and clinical scoring, and no mortality. Review on animal models proposed an involvement of both innate and adaptive immunity in herbs mechanisms.

Conclusion: Echinacea and curcumin showed good potencies, while Gardeniae fructus, Scutellariae radix, Berberis aristata, and Yanyankang were potential to be continued as clinical trial. Studies with higher level of evidence and lower risk of bias are still needed. There were still lack of safety data. The proposed mechanisms were a good foundation to design further research."

"Resep jamu kuno Au Fere II (Persea americana dan Vigna cylindrica) dari daerah Maluku dipercayai memiliki khasiat sebagai antihipertensi sejak masa lampau, meskipun belum terdapat bukti ilmiah terkait efeknya pada tekanan darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ekstrak Au Fere II terhadap kadar angiotensin II plasma pada model tikus Two-Kidney-One-Clip (2K1C). Studi dilakukan terhadap enam kelompok tikus, yaitu kelompok sham (n=4) dan lima kelompok 2K1C (n=20). Tikus 2K1C diinduksi dengan pemasangan mikroklip stainless steel 0,2 mm pada arteri ginjal kiri selama lima minggu. Kelompok tikus 2K1C (>140/100 mmHg, n=4 per kelompok) dibagi menjadi kelompok kontrol negatif (2K1C: tidak diberi perlakuan), kontrol positif (CAP: kaptopril 4,5mg/200g BB), dosis 1 ekstrak Au Fere II (D1: 0,495mL/200g BB), dosis 2 (D2: 0,99mL/20g BB), dan dosis 3 (D3: 1,98mL/200g BB). Pemberian perlakuan dilakukan secara per oral sekali sehari selama satu minggu. Pemberian perlakuan tersebut memengaruhi tekanan darah dan kadar angiotensin II plasma, serta tidak memengaruhi rasio berat ginjal basah/berat badan. Tekanan darah sistolik (D1 dan D3) dan diastolik (D1, D2, dan D3) menunjukkan perbedaan yang bermakna jika dibandingkan terhadap kelompok 2K1C, namun tidak menunjukkan adanya aktivitas yang dose-dependent dari tiga dosis yang diujikan. D3 mengalami penurunan tekanan darah paling efektif dibandingkan dengan D1 dan D2. Selain itu, kadar angiotensin II plasma seluruh kelompok perlakuan juga lebih rendah dibandingkan terhadap kelompok 2K1C, meskipun tidak bermakna secara statistik. Hasil penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa resep jamu kuno Au Fere II menunjukkan potensi sebagai antihipertensi dengan menurunkan tekanan darah dan kadar angiotensin II plasma.

The Au Fere II ancient herbal recipe (Persea americana and Vigna cylindrica) from Maluku was believed to have antihypertensive properties since the past, although there has been no scientific proof regarded its effect on blood pressure. This study aimed to determine the effect of Au Fere II extract on angiotensin II plasma levels in the Two-Kidney-One-Clip (2K1C) rat model. The study was conducted on six groups, the sham group (n=4) and five groups of 2K1C rats (n=20). The left kidney artery was clipped with a 0.2mm stainless steel microclip for five weeks. Twenty hypertensive rats (>140/100mmHg) were assigned into five groups (n=4), negative control (2K1C: not treated), positive control (CAP: captopril 4.5mg/200g BW), dose 1 Au Fere II extract (D1: 0.495mL/200g BW), dose 2 (D2: 0.99mL/200g BW), and dose 3 (D3: 1.98mL/200g BW). The treatment was given orally once/day for one week. Au Fere II reduced blood pressure and plasma angiotensin II levels but did not affect the kidney's-wet-weight/body-weight ratio. Systolic (D1, D3) and diastolic blood pressure (D1, D2, D3) were significantly lower compared to the 2K1C group but did not show any dose-dependent activity of the three doses tested. D3 was shown the most effective reduction in blood pressure compared to D1 and D2. Angiotensin II plasma levels in all treatment groups decreased compared to the 2K1C group, although it was not statistically significant. These results suggest that Au Fere II could potentially be used as an antihypertensive by lowering blood pressure and angiotensin II plasma levels.

"Usaha-usaha yang dilakukan oleh aparat penegak hukum belum berhasil memberantas peredaran jamu berbahan Kimia Obat (BKO). Salah satu penyebabnya adalah penindakan yang bersifat reaktif sporadis, membuka kesempatan pelanggar hukum untuk beradaptasi dan terus berinovasi dalam melaksanakan modus operandinya demi menghindari tekanan dari penegak hukum. Untuk mengatasi hal ini diperlukan kewaspadaan nasional terhadap ancaman peredaran jamu BKO sebagai dasar penyusunan dan pelaksanaan suatu sistem peringatan dini. Yaitu serangkaian teknologi, kebijakan dan prosedur yang disusun khusus untuk pemprediksi dan memitigasi dampak peredaran jamu BKO. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode collection and analysis dalam pengolahan data. Teknik triangulasi digunakan untuk memastikan validitas data baik primer maupun sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelibatan komponen intelijen negara dan partisipasi aktif masyarakat menjadi hal yang mutlak dibutuhkan demi keberhasilan sistem peringatan dini atau early warning terkait peredaran jamu BKO. Badan intelijen negara selaku coordinator dari seluruh intelijen yang ada di instansi negara wajib menjalankan fungsi sebagai komite intelijen pusat (kominpus). Dalam satu system yang dibangun seharusnya Indonesia National Single Window (INSW) seharusnya didapat kerjasama kontrol antar lembaga yaitu BPOM, BIN, Bea dan Cukai, Kepolisian dan masyarakat. Early warning system menghadirkan 4 komponen utama sistem peringatan dini yaitu pengetahuan resiko, layanan pemantauan dan peringatan, diseminasi dan komunikasi serta kemampuan respons. Saran untuk melakukan pemberantasan dan pencegahan peredaran jamu BKO adalah melakukan studi untuk menilai potensi kerugian negara akibat peredaran BKO. Hasil studi tersebut dijadikan dasar untuk membangun kewaspadaan nasional dan ditindak lanjuti dengan penyusunan sistem peringatan dini yang melibatkan berbagai instansi terkait dan dukungan masyarakat.

Efforts by law enforcement officers have not succeeded in eradicating the circulation of medicinal chemicals-contained herbal medicine or also known as Jamu Berbahan Kimia Obat (BKO). One of the causes is sporadic reactive action, which gives opportunities for law offenders to adapt and continue to innovate in carrying out their operational mode to avoid pressure from law enforcement. In order to overcome this issue, national awareness as an early warning system regarding the threat of BKO herbal medicine distribution is required. Such early warning system comprises a series of technologies, policies and procedures devised specifically for predicting and mitigating the impact of BKO herbal medicine circulation. This research uses the qualitative approach with collection and analysis method in data processing. Triangulation techniques are used to ensure the validity of both primary and secondary data. The results showed that the involvement of state intelligence components and the active participation of the community becomes absolutely necessary for the success of early warning system or early warning related to the circulation of BKO herbal medicine. National Intelligence Agencies (BIN) as the coordinator of all intelligences in state institutions must perform the function as central intelligence committee (Kominpus). The one-stop integrated system namely Indonesia National Single Window (INSW) should maintain cooperation between institutions such as BPOM, BIN, Customs and Excise, Police and society. Early warning system presents 4 main components, such as risk knowledge, monitoring and warning service, dissemination and communication, as well as response capability. As a suggestion, in eradicating and preventing the circulation of BKO herbal medicine, a study to assess the potential loss of the state due to the circulation of BKO herbal medicine should be conducted. The results of these studies serve as a basis for building national awareness and are followed up by the preparation of an early warning system involving various relevant agencies and community support."

This thesis discussed describing problems of policy implementation on practices of manufacturing good traditional medicine at province of DKI Jakarta in 2009, considering until 2008 nationally where almost 2,9% of industries which got certificates on Practices of Manufacturing Good Traditional Medicine, where 1,9% of them was at province of DKI Jakarta. This study was a qualitative research with descriptive design. Study result indicated that low implementation on Practices of Manufacturing Good Traditional Medicine was caused by socialization of policy was not optimal yet, industry was still herd in implementing policies and monitoring policy was still low.

Socialization was not optimal yet because development activities of Indonesian traditional medicine did not be understood yet, inadequate budget and the lack of coordination. Industry was still herd in implementing policies because of limited funds and low commitment of owner. Monitoring was still weak because of limited budget and the latest and trusted data, coordination inter institution was not explained and there was no sanction yet. It also found that scale of implementation on practices manufacturing of good traditional medicine was affected by owner commitment which was implemented by allocated funds to implement practices manufacturing good traditional medicines."

"Penggunaan jamu sebagai salah satu obat tradisional secara umum dinilai lebih aman dari pada penggunaan obat modern. Hal ini disebabkan karena obat tradisional memiliki efek samping yang relatif lebih sedikit dari pada obat modern. Sayangnya, di tangan segelintir orang jamu tradisional ini dicampur dengan bahan kimia obat untuk mendapatkan efek instan. Untuk melindungi masyarakat, Departemen Kesehatan mengeluarkan peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia No. 246/ Menkes/ Per/V/1990 tentang Izin Usaha Industri Obat Tradisional dan Pendaftaran Obat Tradisional yang menyatakan bahwa obat tradisional tidak boleh mengandung bahan kimia sintetik atau hasil isolasi yang berkhasiat obat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah memperoleh metode KLT-densitometri tervalidasi yang dapat menganalisis secara kuantitatif piroksikam, prednison dan naproksen dalam jamu encok. Metode yang digunakan adalah ekstraksi jamu dengan pelarut optimal etanol kemudian dianalisis dengan KLT menggunakan fase gerak optimal kloroform-metanol (20:1) untuk prednison dan naproksen dan fase gerak optimal kloroform-metanol-amonia (20:1:1tetes) untuk piroksikam, kemudian bercak yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan densitometer pada panjang gelombang 254 nm. Pada tahap validasi, metode dinyatakan linear dengan nilai koefisien korelasi (r) untuk piroksikam, prednison, dan naproksen berturut-turut 0,99973, 0,99944, dan 0,99990. Metode ini juga memenuhi kriteria uji selektivitas, akurasi dan presisi pada konsentrasi sedang dan tinggi. Dari delapan sampel yang diperiksa, tiga diantaranya positif mengandung piroksikam.

The use of herbal medicine as one of the traditional medicine is considered more secure than the use of modern medicine. This is because traditional medicine has side effects relatively less than modern medicine. Unfortunately, for the few manufacturers, traditional herbal medicine is mixed with chemicals drugs to get an instant effect. To protect the public, the Health Department issued regulations Republic of Indonesia’s Health Minister No. 246/ Menkes/ Per/V/1990 about traditional medicine industry license abd registration of traditional medicine which states that traditional medicine should not contain synthetic chemicals or medicine isolation results.

Purpose of this study was to obtain validated TLC-densitometry method that can analyze quantitatively piroxicam, prednisone, and naproxen in a arthritic herbal medicine. Method used is the extraction of herbs with ethanol followed by analysis by TLC using a mobile phase of chloroform-methanol (20:1) for prednisone and naproxen and chloroform-methanol-ammonia (20:1:1 drops) for piroxicam, then is analyzed by densitometer in 254 nm.

In validation stage, the calibration curve was linear by r values for piroxicam, prednisone, and naproxen respectively 0,99973, 0,99944, and 0,99990. This method also meets the test criteria of selectivity, accuracy and precision at medium and high concetrations. Of the eight sampel which has been tested, three of which were positive for piroxicam."
