Abstract

Marine sponges are an abundant yet underutilized resource in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, despite their ecological roles and pharmacological potential. Steroidal metabolites are dominant in many sponge species and have been widely recognized for their strong anti-inflammatory activity. However, the chemical composition and biological potential of Carteriospongia sp from Indonesian waters remain unexplored. Carteriospongia sp was extracted using the Soxhlet method, and the chemical profile was analyzed by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS). Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated in vitro using the Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein denaturation assay, with methylprednisolone as the positive control. Molecular docking studies were performed to assess the interactions between steroidal compounds and BSA protein. GC-MS analysis identified eight steroidal compounds such as 2-methylenecholestan-3-ol (S1), stigmasterol (S2), 4,4-dimethyl-cholesta-8,24-dien-3-ol (S3), 8,14-seco-3,19-epoxyandrostane-8,14-dione, 17-acetoxy-3ß-methoxy-4,4-dimethyl (S4), cholic acid ethyl ester (S5),  (3ß,5Z,7E)-9,10-secocholesta-5,7,10(19)-triene-3,24,25-triol (S6), stigmastan-3-en-6-ol (S7), ß-sitosterol (S8). The extract demonstrated concentration-dependent inhibition of protein denaturation, achieving 84.81% inhibition at 128 mg.L-1. The IC50 value was 3.71 mg.L-1, comparable to methylprednisolone (IC50 4.45 mg.L-1). Molecular docking revealed that compound S1 and S4 exhibited lower binding energies than other steroids, suggesting stronger stabilization of BSA protein. The findings demonstrate that Carteriospongia sp extract possesses significant anti-inflammatory potential, comparable to methylprednisolone. This study provides novel insights into the bioactive potential of Indonesian marine sponges and emphasizes the importance of further pharmacological and molecular studies to develop sponge-derived steroidal compounds as alternative or complementary anti-inflammatory therapeutics.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from either insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. Candida albicans is a fungus generally found on the surface of the mucous membrane, which usually dominates and overgrows among DM patients. This study aims to identify the presence of the C. albicans fungus on the oral mucosa of individuals with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus at Bahteramas Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. A descriptive study was employed, and a purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of 62 patients. Swab samples were cultured on Potato Dextrose Agar medium for Gram staining and carbohydrate assimilation tests. The resulting culture was tested using CHROMagarTM Candida (CAC) media. Among the 62 samples, 56 samples were identified to have a convex colony, a cream-color surface, a smooth texture, and a Gram-positive nature. The carbohydrate assimilation test showed that the indicated samples could ferment glucose and maltose, but not lactose and sucrose. Green colonies are formed through CHROMagarTM Candida differential media testing. There are 56 identification results for C. albicans from oral mucosal swab samples from 62 patients with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus at the Bahteramas Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province, yielding six other patients with negative results.
