Averrhoa bilimbi/Bilimbi leaf extract has anti-inflammatory activity in several studies. Development of bilimbi leaf extracts ointment can maximize anti-inflammatory therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the phytochemical compounds and evaluate bilimbi leaf extract ointment. Method: The leaf compounds examined by phytochemical screening and ointment tests were for their physical properties including pH, organoleptic, and dispersive tests. The organoleptic test and pH test were analyzed descriptively. Spreadability data were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis. Results: Qualitative analysis of bilimbi leaf extract showed a positive reactions of alkaloids to Mayer, Wagner, and Dragendorff, steroids, flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids, and saponins.Meanwhile leaf do not contain tannins. Organoleptic test showed the green ointment with a distinctive aroma of leaves. The pH of the leaves is classified as weakly acidic, close to neutral, which is 5-6. The spreadability of the ointment was not significantly different based on the Kruskal Wallis test. Conclusion: The resulting ointment is predominantly green in color and the ointment formulation has no different in dispersion.

The leaves of papaya plants (Carica papaya), belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi), and seurapoh (Chromolaena odorata) have been traditional medicine such as wound healing. In this research, papaya, belimbing wuluh, and seurapoh leaves were identified and analyzed for the metabolite contents from the geothermal area. Seulimum is a geothermal area with geographical position 5˚285̍ 1̎ North Latitude and 95˚43̍53̎ East Longitude and altitude 1800 meters above sea level, minimum air temperature 19-21˚C, and maximum 25-30˚C, and Rainfall ranges from 2000-2500 mm per year. This analysis aims to determine the phytochemical compounds contained in C. papaya leaves. The maceration methods have been used in phytochemical screening studies. The results showed from qualitative techniques. In this study, phytochemical screening on 3 plants, namely Carica papaya, Chromolaena odorata, and Averrhoa bilimbi. Qualitative analysis of papaya leaf extract showed a positive reaction for alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, steroids, and tannins. Seurapoh leaf extract showed a positive reaction to Mayer, Wagner, and Dragendorff. Positive results on tannins, steroids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenols, and saponins. While star fruit extracts only negative tannins. The Liebermann-Burchard test showed a positive result. These results can be used as the basis for selecting plants from geothermal areas as candidates for wound healing.
