Abstract
Mangkokan leaves (Nothopanax scutellarium) are one of the ornamental plants in the yard. One of its benefits is that it is antibacterial. The use of antibacterials has been widely used to inhibit the growth of bacteria, but antibiotic resistance against bacteria continues to increase. The purpose of this review article is to examine the extent to which mangkokan leaves (Nothopanax scutellarium) have been tested as antibacterial and to examine secondary metabolites that have an antibacterial role. This research took the form of an article search carried out based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria used were articles published within a 10 years span. Based on article search results, mangkokan leaves (Nothopanax scutellarium) have been proven to be able to inhibit the growth of several bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Eschericia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Propionobacterium acne, Salmonella gastroenterit, Lactobacilus rhamnosus and Bacillus subtilis. Secondary metabolites that have an active role as antibacterials are tannins, flavonoids and saponins.
