    TLDR Mangkokan leaf extract can fight bacteria and may help prevent hair loss and treat infections.
    The study investigates the antibacterial activity of NADES extract from mangkokan leaves (Polyscias scutellaria) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus using the disc diffusion method. The extract demonstrated antibacterial properties at various concentrations (2000 to 8000 μg/disk), with chloramphenicol as a positive control and DMSO as a negative control. The total flavonoid content in the extract was measured at 4.944 mgEQ/gSimplisia, supporting its potential use in preventing hair loss and treating infections.
