Abstract

Usnic acid, a secondary metabolite of lichen Usnea sp., has several pharmacological activities, but it is poorly soluble in water. This study aimed to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of usnic acid loaded in mesoporous silica SBA-15 at a mass ratio of 1:1. and evaluate its physical stability. Physicochemical characterization was carried out via the nitrogen adsorption desorption isotherm, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Usnic acid-loaded SBA-15 was stored at 40 °C with various relative humidities (RH) and then analyzed by PXRD for the physical stability. Usnic acid adsorbed well in the pores of SBA-15, as shown by a decrease in the volume pore and surface area of SBA-15 according to the nitrogen adsorption. Moreover, usnic acid-SBA-15 showed a decrease in the degree of crystallinity according to PXRD analysis and no melting point based on DSC analysis. The FTIR spectrum of usnic acid–SBA-15 corresponds to the spectra of each raw material. The solubility of usnic acid increased 5.15 times after adsorbed on SBA-15. The dissolution rate also showed a significant increase (p < 0.05) from 19.51% to 84.27%. Usnic acid–SBA-15 was relatively stable at RH 75%. Thus, the adsorption of usnic acid on SBA-15 can increase its solubility, dissolution rate, and physical stability.

Abstract

Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) whose formulation options are limited due to its low dissolution rate in aqueous media. This research aimed to enhance the solubility of ketoprofen in distilled water and to compare the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of its resulting multicomponent crystal with tromethamine. The binary phase diagram of ketoprofen-tromethamine was created across molar ratios ranging from 1:9 to 9:1. The multicomponent crystal comprising ketoprofen and tromethamine in the selected ratio was synthesized using a solvent drop grinding method and subjected to further characterization for thermal properties, crystallinity, chemical groups, and morphology. The dissolution rate assessments were evaluated in CO2-free distilled water. Pharmacological analyses examined the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of the multicomponent crystal. The binary phase analysis identified the 5:5 (1:1) molar ratio as optimal in forming a multicomponent crystal. Thermograms and diffractograms revealed crystalline alterations attributed to a new crystalline phase. The new multicomponent crystal exhibited approximately 2.7 times higher dissolution rate after 30 minutes, outperforming pure ketoprofen. Pharmacological assessments demonstrated superior analgesic effects of the multicomponent crystal. In summary, the ketoprofen-tromethamine cocrystal in 1:1 molar ratio offers enhanced dissolution rate and provides better analgesic activity than ketoprofen alone.

Abstract

This study has aimed to determine the potential use of catechins derived from gambier as an anti-microbial raw material in the manufacture of hand washing liquid soap. The study started from the purification process of catechins from gambier and continued with the addition of gambier to the soap formula looking for hand washing. In this study, there were some difficulties in obtaining catechin extracts that could dissolve in water due to the character of catechins that did not dissolve completely in water. Therefore, the optimization of the catechin extraction process is optimized first. The catechin extraction process was carried out in two ways, namely by using a homogenizer at a speed of 15000 rpm for 30 minutes and a reflux process with hot water (temperature 70 degrees Celsius) for one hour. It was found that the concentration of catechin dissolved in water both in the homogenizer and reflux results was relatively the same, therefore for the manufacture of hand washing liquid soap, the process with the reflux technique would be recommended because of the cheaper operational costs.

Abstract

Aseklofenak merupakan obat golongan antiinflamasi nonsteroid (OAINS) yang mempunyai efek farmakologi utama sebagai antiinflamasi dan analgesik, turunan asam fenil asetat. Namun, aseklofenak memiliki kelarutan yang rendah sehingga mempengaruhi bioavaibilitasnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperbaiki laju disolusi aseklofenak melalui pembentukan multikomponen kristal dengan metode pembuatan solvent drop grinding dan asam suksinat sebagai koformer. Multikomponen kristal yang terbentuk dikarakterisasi menggunakan instrumen Powder X-ray Diffractor (PXRD), Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, dan Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Aseklofenak yang terlarut dan terdisolusi ditentukan dengan spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Hasil karakterisasi dari multikomponen kristal: penurunan intensitas puncak pada difraktogram, penurunan titik lebur dan nilai entalpi peleburan pada  termogram, pergeseran yang tidak signifikan pada bilangan gelombang spektrum spektroskopi FT-IR, dan habit kristal baru pada hasil SEM. Hasil uji disolusi aseklofenak murni, campuran fisik dan multikomponen kristal aseklofenak-asam suksinat dalam medium dapar fosfat pH 6,8 dengan sodium lauril sulfat 0,1 % pada menit ke-60 secara berturut-turut adalah 8,43 %, 26,60 % dan 34,14 %. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa multikomponen kristal aseklofenak - asam suksinat yang terbentuk merupakan tipe campuran eutektik dan dapat meningkatkan laju disolusi aseklofenak 4,09 kali dibandingkan aseklofenak murni.

Abstract

Candesartan cilexetil (CC) merupakan agen antihipertensi yang sangat efektif tetapi memiliki kelarutan yang buruk sehingga bioavailabilitasnya terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan CC terdisolusi melalui pembuatan dispersi padat dengan hidroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC). Dispersi padat CC-HPMC dibuat menjadi 3 formula, yaitu 2:1, 1:1 dan 1:2 (b/b) menggunakan metode solvent co-evaporation. CC tunggal, campuran fisik dan dispersi padat yang terbentuk kemudian dikarakterisasi secara fisikokimia dan pengaruh variasi konsentrasi HPMC diselidiki terhadap laju disolusi. Hasil PXRD menunjukkan penurunan intensitas puncak pada dispersi padat. Analisis termal dengan DSC memperlihatkan titik leleh yang lebih rendah pada dispersi padat. Morfologi dispersi padat menggambarkan bentuk yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan CC tunggal dan campuran fisik. Spektrum inframerah menunjukkan sedikit pergeseran pada bilangan gelombang gugus fungsi tetapi tidak terbentuk gugus fungsi baru. Disolusi dispersi padat meningkat secara signifikan, hasil uji disolusi setelah 60 menit masing-masing untuk CC tunggal, campuran fisik, dispersi padat F1, F2, dan F3 adalah 32,46 ± 0,26; 67,76 ± 0,07; 61,22 ± 0,20; 71,74 ± 0,20; dan 78,58 ± 020 (μg/ml). Kesimpulannya, sistem dispersi padat CC-HPMC mampu memodifikasi sifat fisikokimia dan meningkatkan disolusi hingga 2,42 kali CC tunggal. Selain itu, peningkatan konsentrasi HPMC berdampak positif pada peningkatan CC yang terdisolusi.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to assist rendang business actors who are members of IKABOGA in Padang City in determining the heat adequacy number (F0) in the sterilization process of packaged rendang. Determining the correct F0 number is very important to ensure food safety, extend product shelf life, and maintain rendang quality. Assistance methods include theoretical training, F0 calculation simulations, sterilization practices, and preparation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The results of the activity showed an increase in business actors' understanding of the F0 concept, as well as the implementation of a more measurable and safe sterilization process. Laboratory tests showed that rendang products sterilized with the appropriate F0 value were proven to be free from pathogenic microorganisms, while the quality of taste, texture, and aroma were maintained. This activity is expected to help business actors improve product quality and competitiveness, and comply with applicable food safety standards.
