Phytochemistry, antibacterial, Nauclea subdita, Aeromonas hydrophila.
Indonesia is the second largest country in the world after Brazil to have biological diversity. A plant is a home of various active agent content-rich chemical compounds, among others secondary metabolic products function to the process of metabolism. This compound group plays an important role in the process of interaction or competition, including defending self from pests and diseases attack. At a swampland is found more than 1000 kinds of a plant which can be used as a material of pest controller such as biopesticides material (Asikin, 2015).One of the swamp plants frequently utilized as an alternative medicine is the bulubungkal; it commonly results in a secondary metabolic compound such as tannin, phenolic, steroid, and alkaloids (Liew et al., 2012). People commonly utilize bulubangkal to reverse injury; it is applied to the surface of ulcer and tumor, the water of the boiled leaf functions to reverse diarrhea and toothache. N. subdita also contains antioxidant and steroid working for cells growth so almost all of the Banjar utilizes it as the raw material of anti-acne powder and to soften skin face in which steroid compound has an ability to rejuvenate damaged cells.
Bioactive compound contained within Nuclea subdita is a type of secondary metabolic such as tannin, alkaloid, and phenolic which can be used as a natural bactericide. Leaf, flesh, and root of N. Subdita are found to contain alkaloid, tannin and phenolic and saponin (Amos et al., 2005). Some phytochemistry such as tannin, alkaloid, and flavonoid has shown pathogen antibacterial within fish(Haniffa & Kavitha, 2012). This research made an identification of bioactive content and antibacterial test of bulubangkal leaf towards Aeromonas hydrophila bacterial which is pathogen bacterial contained within fish especially fresh water by in vitro and in silico methods.

According to the result of phytochemistry test above, bulubangkal leaf contains saponin, tannin, phenolic, flavonoid, triterpenoid, and steroid. Phenolic and flavonoid contained within the plant are known to have an important role in antioxidant activity test. The higher the phenolic content in the sample, the higher the activity of its antioxidant, (Trisharyanti,et al., 2011).
Tanin is a secondary metabolic compound contained within a plant. Tanin is polyphenol derivative with a characteristic which is able to form a complex compound with other macromolecules. Tannin is commonly soluble in the polar solvent. Chemically, there are two types of tannin, i.e. condensed tannin and hydrolized tannin. Condensed tannin is widely spread on woody plants and ferns, while the spread of hydrolized tannin is limited to dicotyledon (Auni, et al., 2013). According to Akiyama, et al., 2001, at the activity of antimicrobial, tannin has a positive effect on the different bacterial strain.
Tannin and saponin are proven to have anthelminthic activity (pal, et al., 2007). Tannin found functions to tie independent protein in the digestive tract of the host or glycoprotein in the parasitic cuticle and will cause death (Mali & wadekar, 2008). Benefit and effect potential of tannin, such as antimicrobial and antioxidant in nature. Tannin also has a physiological effect such as accelerating blood clots, and decreasing cholesterol content and lipid also blood as well as ability to act as anticancer (Chung, et al., 1998). An observation to utilize several sources containing tannin, food of several fish species show low lipid deposit in the digestive tract (Hossain, et al., 2001). Tannin has shown antibacterial (Banso & Adeyeme, 2007). Tannic acid can disturb microorganism growth by forming a complex with surface protein (Bhat, et al., 1998).
Saponin causes stimulus on a particular tissue, nasal epithelium, bronchus, kidney, etc. Stimulation on the kidney is expected to cause diuretics effect. Saponin can increase a respond of various substances from surface activity, saponin is also able to stretch insoluble particle and to assign that particle spread and divide softly into the solvent (Sartini, et al, 2012).

Antibacterial test result after 24 hour shows that the biggest drag zone of ethyl acetate fraction is 23.33 ± 0.57 mm, followed by methanol fraction with drag zone of 17.83 ± 0.28 mm. While n-hexane fraction has no drag zone from the initial observation until the last, gentamicin control of 21.66 ± 0.57 mm. Ethyl acetate fraction (semi-polar solvent) is able to dissolve active agent well contained within bulubangkal leaf compared to methanol (polar solvent) and n-hexane (non-polar solvent). Control actually has bigger drag zone than a treatment but at 72 hours bactericidal zone decreases and more decreases at 96 hours observation.
Drag zone formed shows an active agent ability contained within bulubangkal leaf using semipolar and polar solvent, it is expected that tannin contained within bulobangkal leaf has an antibacterial ability, in which tannin activity has been reported as bacteriostatic and bactericidal including A. hydrophilla, E. coli, Listeria, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Staphylococaccus and Streptococaccus (Chung et al., 1998). A complex capability of polyphenol and polymer as well as mineral have inhibition effect towards bacteria. Tannin contained within bulubangkal leaf also contains toxic characteristic and hamper enzyme in microbe (Bossi et al., 2007).

Figure 4 - Pa value of Bulubangka leaf
According to that Pa value above, an active agent of bulubangka leaf has a computational potential as antibacterial but its potential needs to be proven in a laboratory way since its score probability to be active is under 0.7. Trial result of in vitro method is proven that bulubangka leaf extract has a big drag zone towards A. hydrophila bactery, ethyl acetate extract of 23.88 ± 0.74 mm and methanol of 17.03 ± 0.48 mm. Peptidoglycan (PG) is an important macromolecule like a tissue surrounding bacteria, giving them the form, and protecting them from its osmotic pressure. PG inhibition of synthesis causes bacterial cell lysis (Derouaux, et al., 2013) This inhibition of synthesis of the cell wall is like a medicine containing p lactam, working procedure of inhibition was initiated by medicine binding of cell receptor-like transpeptidase enzyme among other. After adhesion at one or more receptor, reaction happened is a transpeptidase enzyme reaction and hampered peptidoglycan synthesis leading to the activity termination of autolysis on cell wall, and furthermore lysis enzime becomes active (jaweltz, et al., 2001).
CONCLUSION
Bulubangka leaf has a computational potential as antibacterial under 0.7, it is proven by in vitro method of ethyl acetate fraction and effective methanol fraction hampering A. hydrophila bacterial while n-hexane fraction does not effectively hamper. It concludes that bulubangka leaf contains bioactive in form of saponin, tannin, phenolic, flavonoid, and steroid used as A. hydrophilia antibacterial.
