Abstract

People have long used various herbs for traditional medicine. One of the medicinal plants used by local people is suruhan or sirih cina (Peperomia pellucida). Peperomia pellucida has many local names, such as suruhan, sirih cina, rumput cacing, sirih bumi, pansit-pansitan, rumput gelas, and daing siheah cino. Suruhan plants are used in traditional medicine in various ways, depending on the type of disease. The most widely used part of the plant is the leaves. Suruhan contains many bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, sterols, tannins, reducing sugars, amino acids, saponins, triterpenoids, carbohydrates, phenols, azulene, carotenoids, and quinones. Suruhan has the potential as an herbal medicinal, including antimicrobe, anticancer, and antifungal.
