Abstract
Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) is a wild plant that has excellent potential to be used as a medicinal plant because it has antimicrobial activity. The patch is a local preparation that can provide a good therapeutic effect on the skin, and this preparation is an innovation in the drug delivery system. This study aims to know that the ethanol extract of Gotu kola leaves (Centella Asiatica) can be formulated into patch preparations and has the potential to inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes. In this study, Gotu kola extract was formulated in the form of patch dosage with a concentration of 5%, 7%, and 9%. This research design is an experimental type. The method used in testing antibacterial activity is the agar diffusion method and for statistical data analysis using the One-Way ANOVA test method. The results showed that the patch preparation of Gotu kola leaf extract (Centella Asiatica) was physically and chemically stable and the concentration of 9% had the greatest potential in inhibiting the growth of Propionibacterium acnes. It is necessary to do further research on the patch of Gotu kola leaf extract (Centella Asiatica) against other types of bacteria.
