Abstract

Background: Pasak Bumi (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) is an endemic plant that has been utilized as a medicinal agent by communities in Kalimantan and Sumatra for an extended period. The entirety of E. longifolia, inclusive of its leaves, stems, and roots, has been utilized as a medicinal agent. The primary compound present in E. longifolia is eurycomanone, which is commonly found in the roots of the plant. Objective: This study aims to optimize the extraction of eurycomanone from E. longifolia roots using imidazolium-based ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM][Cl]) through microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), applying response surface methodology (RSM) for statistical meodeling. Methods: A Box-Behnken design was employed to evaluate the effects of three independent variable including [BMIM][Cl]concentration, extraction time, and solid-liquid ratio on eurycomanone content. Quantification was performed using a validated HPLC method, and model performance was assessed via analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The concentration of [BMIM][Cl] significantly influenced eurycomanone content (p<0.001), while extraction time and solid-liquid ratio showed no significant individual effects. The optimized condition yielded 0.4061 µg/mg of eurycomanone, closely matching the predicted value (0.3835 µg/mg). The model demonestreated good fit (R2 = 0.8135) and non-significant Lack of Fit (p = 0.6566), indicating reliable predictive capability. Conclusion: MAE using [BMIM][Cl] is an effective and environmentally friendly approach for extracting eurycomanone. The developed model provides a robust framework for process optimization and potential scale-up in phytopharmaceutical applications.

Abstract

Mitragyna speciosa Korth. berasal dari famili Rubiaceae yang banyak tumbuh di daratan negara-negara Asia Tenggara. Tumbuhan ini selain disebut Kratom, khususnya di daerah Kalimantan Timur dikenal juga dengan nama "Kadamba". Mitragyna speciosa Korth. belongs to the Rubiaceae family and is widely found in the mainland of Southeast Asian countries. This plant, known as Kratom, is also referred to as "Kadamba" in East Kalimantan. Kadamba has been used for generations as a traditional medicine and contains predominantly alkaloid compounds, which generally function as analgesics, antitussives, antidiarrheals, adrenergic agents, antimalarials, antibacterials, and antinociceptives. The aim of this research is to determine the isolation and identification methods for alkaloid compounds in Kadamba leaves. In this study, extraction was performed using methanol solvent, followed by fractionation using Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC) and Column Chromatography (CC) with gradient eluents: 100% hexane, n-hexane : Ethyl Acetate (5:1, 1:1, 1:5), 100% Ethyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate : Methanol (1:1, 1:5), and 100% Methanol. The compounds were then identified using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). The isolation process used preparative Thin Layer Chromatography (PTLC) with eluent n-hexane: ethyl acetate: 25% ammonia (6.5:3:0.5 v/v/v), and the spots were observed under UV light at 245 nm and 366 nm. The visible spots were sprayed with Dragendorff's reagent to identify the alkaloid compounds. The results showed that the UV-Vis spectrophotometric characterization of isolate B6-b had two peaks at wavelengths of 288 nm and 294 nm.

Abstract

In this research, 1H-NMR-based metabolomics assessed the metabolite profiles of two Nephelium species flesh, specifically Nephelium ramboutan-ake and Nephelium lappaceum. Our research findings indicate that the metabolite profile of N. ramboutan-ake is qualitatively identical, although numerically distinct from that of N. lappaceum. The PLSDA data indicate that N. ramboutan-ake possesses elevated concentrations of acetic acid, malic acid, GABA, and succinic acid compared to N. lappaceum. In N. lappaceum, alanine and glucose serve as the distinguishing metabolites. Additionally, the anticancer efficacy of two Nephelium samples was assessed. As a result, the anticancer properties of N. ramboutan-ake were superior to those of N. lappaceum. PLS analysis indicated that GABA exhibited the most positive connection with the anticancer activity of Nephelium samples. These results indicate that the higher GABA concentrations of N. ramboutan-ake have a beneficial effect on its anticancer activity.

Abstract

The “Love Your Country from an Early Age!” program was implemented at SMPN 2 Kota Bangun as a strategic effort to strengthen students’ national awareness in the face of globalization, which often threatens national identity. This community service activity targeted ninth-grade students and student council members, aiming to instill fundamental national values through interactive learning approaches. The methods applied included thematic lectures supported by multimedia presentations, small group discussions, and educational quizzes designed to foster active participation and collaborative learning. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests, post-tests, and direct observation of student engagement throughout the program. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ understanding of national values. The average pre-test score of 62.5 increased to 84.3 in the post-test, with more than 80% of participants correctly answering basic questions related to Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). In addition to cognitive gains, students exhibited positive attitudes such as enthusiasm, collaboration, and the ability to connect the material with everyday practices, including respecting diversity and maintaining the school environment. These findings confirm that interactive learning is an effective approach to instilling national values and fostering concrete expressions of patriotism among junior high school students. The program provides a practical model for character education that can be replicated in other schools, thereby contributing to the preservation of Indonesia’s national identity and values in the era of globalization.

Abstract

Kleinhovia hospita is a hepatoprotective plant rich in bioactive saponins, yet conventional extraction methods remain inefficient. This study aimed to optimize saponin recovery by comparing Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) against conventional maceration and assessing the effect of solvent polarity. Saponins were extracted using MAE (15 minutes) and maceration (72 h) with various ethanol concentrations ranging from 0 to 96%. Total Saponin Content (TSC) was quantified colorimetrically using the vanillin-sulfuric acid method. MAE significantly outperformed maceration, attaining a two-fold increase in saponin purity (106.67 and 52.92 mg Diosgenin Equivalent (DE)/g extract, respectively) in a fraction of the time. Solvent analysis revealed a trade-off: whereas 96% ethanol yielded the highest specific purity (133.89 mg DE/g), it resulted in low mass recovery. In contrast, 50% ethanol extracted the highest Total Saponin Yield (TSY) (18.84 mg/g powder), effectively balancing matrix swelling with solubility. MAE utilizing 50% ethanol is identified as the optimal, rapid, and green strategy for the industrial production of standardized K. hospita extracts.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental caries is a significant global health concern. Factors such as socioeconomic status, diet, oral hygiene, and access to dental care influence its prevalence. Limited information exists on dental health in remote sea-floating villages. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between demographic and environmental factors and dental caries prevalence in a sea-floating community. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Malahing Village, a sea-floating village located adjacent to the Makassar Strait, 4 km east of Bontang city. Seventy-two respondents aged 5–59 years were examined for the DMFT index, while intrinsic factors (demographic and dental health behaviors) and extrinsic factors (environmental and dental health services) were collected via questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive univariate analysis to determine variable characteristics and Spearman’s correlation analysis. Results: Dental caries prevalence was 98.61%, with a DMFT index of 10.01. Age (r=0.564, p=0.001), education (r=0.370, p=0.002), and occupation (r=0.273, p=0.020) showed strong, moderate, and weak positive correlations, respectively. Rainwater exposure (r=-0.353, p=0.003) showed a moderate negative correlation. Sex, dental health behaviors, water source, and dental visits were not significantly correlated with caries prevalence. Adults showed highest prevalence (66.67%) but low DMFT index (1.00). Government employees had high DMFT scores (4.61). Twice-daily brushing was uncommon (66.67%) among individuals with high DMFT scores (6.15). Patients who never visited a dentist (44.44%) showed high DMFT scores (8.33). Conclusions: In this underserved coastal community, demographic disadvantages and environmental exposures, particularly water sources, combined with limited dental care contribute to an elevated caries burden compared to the national and international levels. Despite complex associations with environmental factors, rainwater exposure showed negative correlation with caries prevalence, highlighting measurement challenges. The high proportion of patients never visited a dentist, low oral health awareness, and nonstandard water management highlight critical service gaps.

Abstract

This study evaluated the sub-chronic toxicity of a polyherbal infusion composed of Peperomia pellucida, Moringa oleifera, and Biancaea sappan in male mice. Thirty healthy male mice aged 6–8 weeks, weighing 20–30 g, were orally administered doses of 560, 650, and 1300 mg/kg body weight daily for 28 days, with satellite groups observed for up to 42 days. Clinical monitoring and body weight measurements revealed no signs of toxicity or growth impairment. However, organ index analysis demonstrated dose-dependent increases in liver and kidney weights, and histopathological examination confirmed hepatocellular degeneration and tubular damage at the highest dose. These findings indicate that the infusion is generally safe at low to moderate doses, but prolonged high-dose consumption may compromise hepatic and renal integrity. The study provides important toxicological evidence supporting the establishment of safe dosage ranges for polyherbal formulations and contributes to the scientific validation of traditional medicine practices.
