Abstract

Capsaicin (8-Methyl-N-vanillyl-trans-6-nonenamide) is an active compound found in plants from the genus Capsicum. Genus capsium posseses different species of red chilli (Capsicum annuum Linn), green chilli (Capsicum annuum var.annuum) and other varieties that are familiar in Indonesia. However, the plants were not originally from Indonesia but from American Continent. Indonesian ancestor utilized chilli to add spiciness on foods which refers to Piper retrofractumVahl or Javanese chilli. Capsaicin has positive effects on health such as analgesic, cardioprotective, anorexigenic, chemopreventive, chemotherapy, and cardioprotective effects. In addition, capsaicin has beneficial effects in maintaining glucose levels, insulin homeostasis, reducing itching and symptoms in Non-Allergic Rhinitis (NAR), and an alternative therapy for neurogenic bladder. This research is aimed to acknowledge if capsaicin is also discovered in Javanese chilli. The method used to obtain the extract was by maceration of Java chilies using 30%, 70%, and 96% ethanol, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water as solvents. The research was started by conducting phytochemical and moisture content tests on simplicia. Then, each extract was tested for cytotoxic activity on shrimp larvae and the determination of capsaicin levels by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that the highest yield of Java chili extract was 51.14% in ethanol 70%. Phytochemical testing of Java chili simplicia contains flavonoids and saponins. The ethanol 70% extract had the highest cytotoxic activity with an LC50 value of 205.21 ppm. The highest concentration of capsaicin was found in ethyl acetate solvent of 785.58 mg/g followed by ethanol 70% at 486.06mg/g.
