Plant Chemical Compounds According to Hariana, 2006, Lantana camara contains chemical compounds such as alpha-lantadene (0.31-0.68%), beta-lantadene (0.2%), lantanolic acid, lantic acid, essential oil (smelling pungent) insects do not like; 0.16-0.2%), beta-caryophyllene, gamma-terpidene,
alpha-pinene and p-cymene. According to Sharma et al. (1989) who have modified in Canadian Poisonius Plants Information System year 2014, Lantana camara is also a poisonous plant because
contains alpha-lantadene. Lantadene can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, kidney failure, heart failure and even Dead. Where is the part of the plant that has the most potential to cause
Symptoms of poisoning when consumed are parts of the fruit when compared with other plant parts (Carstairs et al., 2010).
The LD50 of alphalantadene given to sheep intravenously is 1-3 mg/kg and orally is 60 mg/kg (Nellis, 1997). So far it has been it is reported that Lantana camara is toxic to livestock, wrong
one is sheep (Nelson et al, 2007; Sharma et al, 1989). According to Wolfson and Solomons (1964) children who eat fruit Lantana camara that is green and immature will experience poisoning and death. This symptom shows significant data in children aged 3 years (Carstairs et al, 2010).
Handling of Lantana camara poisoning in humans, namely: administration of gastric irrigation, activated charcoal and saline catharsis, and body fluids and respiratory support as needed (Nellis D.W, 1997). Lantana camara has therapeutic potential because it contains compounds bioactive compounds, namely flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids and terpenoids (Ajitha et al, 2015).
Uses and Efficacy of Plants Lantana camara has been used in many parts of the world for
treat various disorders (Ross, 2003). In Central America and In the south, the leaves are made into a poultice to treat wounds, chickenpox and measles, fever, colds, rheumatism, asthma and high blood pressure (Irvine, 1961). In Ghana, whole plant infusions are used for bronchitis and roots powder in milk is given to children for abdominal pain (Irvine, 1961). Sharma & Kaul (1959) have claimed that the steroid, lancamarone, from leaves, has cardiotonic properties. In India the leaves of the plant Lantana camara boiled as tea and the concoction is a remedy for coughs and It is also used as a topical remedy for wounds, ulcers and swellings (Verma, 2006).
Further research points to the scientific fact that plants Lantana camara can be used as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral, has antiulcerogenic, antipyretic, antihyperglycemic, antihelentic, and can inhibit larval growth mosquitoes (Saxena et al, 2012).
Further research was also conducted by Leboe et al. (2015) namely by testing the mucolytic activity of ethanol extract on Lantana leaves camara in vitro to find out scientific facts about the truth that the plant can overcome coughs. The results of the research showed the presence of mucolytic activity at a concentration of 0.1%; 0.5% and 1% where the ethanol extract with a concentration of 0.5% has activity mucolytic equivalent to 0.1% acetylcysteine in vitro (Leboe et al, 2015).
Overview of Simplicia Simplicia is a natural material in the form of whole plants, parts
dried plant or plant exudates used as a drug and has not undergone processing or has undergone processing in simple terms and is not a pure substance unless otherwise stated drying temperature 60C (Badan POM RI, 2014). Simplicia should not deviate from the smell and color, not allowed
contain mucus, or indicate damage. Before powdered, vegetable simplicia must be freed from sand, dust, or Other impurities originating from soil or foreign inorganic objects
