Abstract

Melanin, a pigment derived from UV radiation, is crucial in preventing skin damage and can cause aesthetic and dermatological problems such as hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. Melanogenesis is a complex process involving enzymes and cytokines, with UV being a primary contributor. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanin synthesis. This study aims to test the potential of combining cermai fruit extract (CE) and mulberry fruit (ME) as a tyrosinase inhibitor. The tests included antioxidant activity using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, total phenolic content using the Folin Ciocalteu method, flavonoid content using the AlCl3 colorimetric method, and sun protection factor (SPF) value using UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. The results showed that the highest total phenolic content was observed in (CE), followed by the combination of ME: CE in the ratio of 1:3, 1:1, 3:1, and then ME. The same pattern was seen in the flavonoid content assay results. The antioxidant activity, as indicated by the IC50 values, followed the following order CE 418.30%; ME: CE (1:3) 400.49%; ME: CE (1:1) 367.73%; ME: CE (3:1) 358.04%; and ME 344.43%. The highest SPF value was observed in ME. It can be concluded that this study shows that the combination of CE and ME extracts has potential as a tyrosinase inhibitor and skin protective agent from hyperpigmentation due to UV exposure.

Abstract

Soursop leaves (Annona muricata) are known as a plant that has the potential to treat breast cancer, which has a high mortality rate in women in Indonesia. The receptor that plays the most important role in breast cancer development is the Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERa). This study aims to identify active compounds in soursop leaves that have the potential to inhibit breast cancer cell growth through in silico analysis using molecular docking of the ER? receptor using KNApSAck, PASS Online, PubChem, PDB ID, PyRx, and Discovery Studio software and Histochemical analysis was performed using fresh soursop leaves by making an incision on the lower part of the leaf and adding reagents AlCl, FeCl, Na2CO, CuSO4, glycerin, Wagner reagent, immersion oil, and ethanol, then observed microscopically. The in silico results showed the presence of specific compounds from soursop leaves and one reference compound (OHT600). Cis-Solamin had the highest binding affinity (-9.3 kcal/mol), better than the native ligand (-7.6 kcal/mol), and interacted with the amino acid Glutamine 532 (GLU532). Histochemical analysis showed the content of flavonoids, phenols, tannins, terpenoids, and alkaloids, accompanied by color changes in trichome and stomatal tissues. Based on the research data, it was concluded that soursop leaves can inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells through the content of secondary metabolites that actively inhibit Er? receptors.

Abstract

Kacang hijau (Vigna radiata L.) termasuk ke dalam suku polong-polongan yang mengandung bahan baku berprotein nabati tinggi. Pertumbuhan tanaman kacang hijau dapat dipengaruhi oleh pemberian hormon termasuk hormon etilen yang dapat diperoleh secara alami dari buah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari gas etilen alami yang dihasilkan oleh buah tomat (Solanum lycopersicum) terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman kacang hijau (Vigna radiata L.). Gas etilen merupakan hormon tumbuhan berbentuk gas yang berperan dalam proses pematangan dan penuaan, namun pada fase awal pertumbuhan tanaman, gas ini dapat memengaruhi proses perkecambahan dan perkembangan vegetatif. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental selama tujuh hari di Laboratorium Orchidologi Universitas Islam Malang, dengan menggunakan empat perlakuan, yaitu satu kontrol (tanpa tomat) dan tiga perlakuan dengan penambahan tomat. Parameter yang diamati meliputi tinggi batang, bentuk batang, jumlah daun, dan kondisi akar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan gas etilen dari tomat menghambat pertumbuhan tanaman kacang hijau. Tanaman yang diberi perlakuan menunjukkan batang tinggi lebih pendek, bentuk batang yang tebal dan kerdil, serta jumlah daun lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan kontrol. Meskipun akar tetap tumbuh lebat, perkembangan tanaman secara keseluruhan terganggu. Kesimpulannya, gas etilen dari tomat memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap pertumbuhan awal tanaman kacang hijau, khususnya dalam fase perkecambahan dan pertumbuhan batang serta daun
