Abstract

Minyak atsiri pala dilaporkan memiliki aktivitas antidepresan, zat aktif yang berperan dalam aktivitas antidepresan tersebut adalah miristisin, akan tetapi senyawa tersebut juga dilaporkan  bersifat halusinogen dan toksik yang dapat menyebabkan keracunan pada dosis berlebih. dalam penelitian ini diujikan aktivitas minyak atsiri pala tanpa miristisin sebagai antidepresan dan menjadi kebaruan dari penelitian. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan 6 kelompok hewan uji yaitu kelompok kontrol normal, kontrol positif, kontrol negatif, dosis 5; 10; 20 mg/kgBB dan menggunakan metode open field test, forced swimming test dan tail suspension test. Analisis data normalitas menggunakan Shapiro Wilk setelah itu akan dilanjutkan melihat perbedaan signifikan dengan One Way ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan minyak atsiri pala tanpa miristisin tidak memiliki aktivitas antidepresan yang dilihat pada parameter penurunan immobility time dan peningkatan lokomotor. Hasil analisis menggunakan post hoc  LSD menunjukkan tidak ada kelompok yang berbeda secara signifikan saat dibandingkan dengan kontrol positif amitriptilin 3,25 mg/KgBB sig. p(<0,05).

Abstract

Phycocyanin, a natural blue pigment from Spirulina platensis, exhibits strong antioxidant activity but is highly unstable under light, heat, and pH variations, limiting its practical applications. This experimental study addresses the lack of systematic optimization data on maltodextrin–soy protein isolate (SPI) wall matrices for phycocyanin microencapsulation via freeze-drying. Phycocyanin was extracted using phosphate buffer and encapsulated at different maltodextrin:SPI ratios (9:1, 8:2, and 7:3). Each formulation was analyzed in triplicate (n = 3) for encapsulation efficiency (EE), phycocyanin retention, moisture content, particle size, and antioxidant activity (DPPH assay). The 8:2 ratio exhibited the best performance with EE of 88.5%, phycocyanin content of 0.710 mg·mL⁻¹, and particle size of 70.2 µm. Moderate antioxidant activity was observed (IC₅₀ = 102.29 ppm). ANOVA confirmed that the polymer ratio significantly affected all parameters (p < 0.05). Overall, the optimized maltodextrin–SPI microcapsules enhanced the stability and antioxidant functionality of phycocyanin under laboratory conditions, supporting their potential application as bioactive ingredients in functional food and pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract

Background: Myricetin is a flavonol flavonoid with promising neuroprotective and antioxidant activities. However, its therapeutic application is severely limited by poor water solubility and a low dissolution rate. This study aimed to enhance the solubility and formulation stability of myricetin by developing a Solid Lipid Nanoparticle (SLN) delivery system.Methods: Myricetin-SLNs were prepared via the ultrasonication method using Tween 80 as a nonionic surfactant. Lipid screening was conducted using Imwitor 491, Dynasan 118, and Apifil at concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6%. The selected lipid (Apifil at 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%) was melted at 100 °C, homogenized with the aqueous phase using a magnetic stirrer at 2000 rpm for 1 hour, cooled to 35 °C, and subjected to probe ultrasonication at 35 kHz for 5 minutes. The SLNs were characterized using a particle size analyzer and a UV-Vis spectrophotometer to evaluate storage stability, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), entrapment efficiency, zeta potential, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity.Results: Lipid screening revealed that Apifil-based formulations provided superior physical stability compared to Imwitor 491 and Dynasan 118. The optimized formulation, F7 (containing 2% Apifil), yielded the smallest particle size of 105.5±0.70 nm, a highly homogeneous PDI of 0.232, a zeta potential of -20.52 mV, and the highest entrapment efficiency at 73.56%. Furthermore, F7 demonstrated strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 38.77 ppm, compared to pure myricetin (14.44 ppm).Conclusion: The formulation of myricetin into Solid Lipid Nanoparticles using 2% Apifil via ultrasonication effectively minimizes particle size and maximizes entrapment efficiency. Although it exhibits lower long-term storage stability at room temperature, it successfully preserves potent antioxidant activity, offering a promising approach for health sciences and advanced drug delivery applications
