Abstract :
Rhodamnia cinerea is a traditional Indonesian
plant known as "Pelongor" a famous for its natural
resources from the Riau Archipelago of Indonesia. This
study's purpose is to investigate the antifungal activity of
methanol extract Rhodamnia cinerea against Candida
albicans (ATCC 10231). Candida albicans is one of the
pathogenic fungi in humans. Known as candidiasis, it can
affect the mouth, vagina, skin, nails, lungs, and digestive
tract. The maceration method uses methanol as a solvent.The phytochemical analysis detected the presence of
alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids.
Keywords :
