Abstract

Tumbuhan mengandung komponen-komponen kimia kompleks yang secara sinergis menghasilkan efek terapeutik. Saat ini, tumbuhan banyak ditelusuri dan dikembangkan untuk digunakan sebagai bahan baku obat herbal ataupun suplemen. Namun, kompleksitas komponen di dalam tumbuhan menjadi tantangan dalam pemastian mutu dan efektivitasnya sebagai bahan baku obat atau suplemen. Metode analisis sidik jari yang direkomendasikan oleh WHO sejak tahun 1961, merupakan metode dalam kontrol kualitas tumbuhan herbal yang memberikan informasi karakteristik komponen kimia dalam tumbuhan. Sidik jari kromatografi menggunakan KCKT menjadi metode yang umum digunakan diantara jenis kromatografi lain dalam analisis sidik jari. Review ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan aplikasi analisis sidik jari dalam kontrol kualitas tumbuhan sebagai bahan baku obat atau suplemen. Analisis sidik jari memberikan informasi seluruh komponen kimia yang dibutuhkan dalam kontrol kualitas tumbuhan. Namun, secara konvensional, sidik jari kromatografi sederhana tidak memadai untuk mewakili semua pola atau karakteristik kimia ketika komposisi obat herbal terlalu kompleks, maka seringkali analisis sidik jari dikombinasikan dengan metode lain, seperti kemometrik. Kata kunci: Analisis sidik jari, Tumbuhan, KCKT.

Abstract

Hydroquinone is one of the dangerous ingredients in facial whitening cream cosmetics which can cause skin irritation, skin redness and a burning feeling. The purpose of this study was to determine the hydroquinone content in facial whitening cream cosmetics sold in the marketplace. The method used in this study was a qualitative test using a colour reagent test and the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) method with toluene:glacial acetic acid as the mobile phase (5:5) and Silica Gel254 Plate as the stationary phase. Quantitative analysis used the UV Vis spectrophotometry method at a wavelength of 541 nm. The results of the qualitative test in the TLC test showed that 4 samples tested positive for hydroquinone in samples A, B, D, and E, with a range of Rf values of 0.44, 0.5, 0.52, and 0.5, respectively. The results of the quantitative test showed that 9 samples contained hydroquinone with a sample content range of 0.22 to 3.62 ppm with an LoD value of 0.637 ppm and an LoQ of 2.124 ppm. The results of this study indicate that there are still cosmetics containing hydroquinone, these results are not following the Regulation of Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM) No. KH. 00.01.43.2503 of 2009 where the use of this hydroquinone ingredient is prohibited for use in facial whitening creams because it can endanger health.Keywords: Analysis, Hydroquinone, TLC, Whitening Cream

Abstract

Whitening creams are cosmetic products applied to the skin to brighten or alter skin tone. The use of retinoic acid and hydroquinone without medical supervision is prohibited under Indonesian Food an Drug Authority (BPOM) regulations, as these are classified as prescription drugs that may cause harmful side effects with long-term use, such as skin irritation, dryness, burning sensation, and teratogenic effects. Unfortunately, these substances are still misused in some facial whitening products. This study aimed to identify the presence and determine the concentration of retinoic acid and hydroquinone in facial whitening creams sold in Ujung Berung Market, Bandung City. Samples were selected using purposive sampling with the criteria of being low-cost and without a registration number. A total of four cream samples were analyzed qualitatively using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) with a mobile phase of acetone:n-hexane (4:6), and quantitatively using UV-Visible spectrophotometry. Absorbance measurements for retinoic acid and hydroquinone were performed at wavelengths of 324 nm and 300 nm, respectively. TLC results showed that two samples, B and D, tested positive for retinoic acid with Rf values of 0.52 and 0.55, respectively, exhibited dark blue spots similar to the standard. The result of hydroquinone analysis using TLC was unidentified. Quantitative analysis revealed that sample B contained the highest retinoic acid concentration (0.077% w/w), while sample A had the highest hydroquinone concentration (0.604% w/w). These findings suggest that some facial whitening creams sold in Ujung Berung Market still contain unauthorized levels of retinoic acid and hydroquinone, highlighting the need for stricter regulation and public awareness.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to represent a significant global health challenge, leading to the need for new and more effective therapeutic approaches. Organo-selenium compounds have potential as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, which may help protect the heart and vascular system. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Organo-selenium exerts its cardioprotective effects are still not fully understood. The interaction with key regulatory pathways such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) has not been clearly defined. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the molecular interactions between organo-selenium compounds and the PPAR-γ and NF-κB-inducing kinase receptors in the context of cardiovascular protection. Molecular docking simulations were performed using the ligand-binding domain of PPAR-γ and the 20 organo-selenium ligands. The binding affinities and interactions between organo-selenium and receptors were analyzed. Among the screened organo-selenium ligands, compound 13 exhibited the most favorable binding affinity toward both PPAR-γ and NF-κB compared to the native ligand. Based on these results, compound 13 was selected for molecular dynamics simulations. The molecular dynamics study, using parameters such as RMSD, RMSF, SASA, and the Gyration plot, shows that compound 13 with PPAR-γ exhibits better stability and flexibility. At the same time, the NF-κB interaction, though stable, may be less energetically favorable than the native ligand. These interactions suggest that compound 13 (Ebselen) may modulate PPAR-γ activity, thereby influencing cell signaling pathways involved in cardiac protection. Overall, the findings suggest that modulation of the PPAR-γ pathway by compound 13 may represent a promising mechanism in cell signaling for cardiovascular protection.
