Abstract

Currently, the antibacterial research is increasingly promoted primarily from natural materials, due to the increasing number of pathogenic bacteria that have been resistant to existing antibiotics. One of the pathogenic bacteria that has been much resistant to antibiotics is Staphylococcus aureus. Rosella calyx (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) and chitosan are known to have antibacterial activity. The aim of this study to find out the antibacterial synergy of the roselle calyx extract and chitosan against. S.aureus ATCC 33592. Rosella calyx was extracted by maceration using 80 % ethanol, while chitosan is obtained from deasetilation chitin of shrimp husk. Test antibacterial synergism using checkboard assay method by calculating the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using microdilution assay. The results showed minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of roselle calyx extract and chitosan were 1250 ppm and 50 ppm, respectively. MIC value of rosella calyx extract in the presence of chitosan was 625 ppm, while the value of MIC chitosan in the presence of rosella calyx extract was < 0.19 ppm. Fractional Inhibition Concentration Index (FICI) was < 0.5 which concluded that the combination of roselle calyx extract with chitosan has a synergistic antibacterial effect on S.aureus ATCC 33592.

Abstract

TB is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Empirically the plants that have long been used in medicine are Curcuma mangga rhizome, which shows pharmacological activity as an anti Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug. The objective of the research is to determine the ability of hexane and methanol extracts of Curcuma mangga in inhibiting the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strain H37Rv and MDR. The extraction of Curcuma mangga rhizome was conducted by maceration methode using hexane and methanol as the solvents, respectively. Both of extracts were made in 1000 dan 500 ppm concentration, then tested for anti Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity using MODS (Microscopic Observation Drug Suspectibility) method. Determination of anti M.tuberculosis activity was based on microscopic observation on Mycobacterium tuberculosis colony in cord formation. The results showed that hexane and methanol extract in 1000 ppm concentration inhibited the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strain H37Rv dan MDR. However in 500 ppm only n-hexane extract showing the inhibiton activity. In conclusion, n-hexane extract have the ability to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strain H37Rv dan MDR.

Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effects of simvastatin, rosuvastatin, and fenofibrate therapies on the body weight and lipid profiles of the female rats receiving a combination of oral contraceptives (COC) and a high-fat diet (HFD). Twenty female Wistar rats (130-200 g) were divided equally into four groups. The rats received a standard diet for seven days, and their baseline lipid profiles were analyzed. All rats also received COC containing 15.1 g/kg levonorgestrel/3.1 g/kg estradiol with HFD for 60 days. Starting on day 31, the rats were given the respected treatment. The control group received the vehicle, whereas the others were treated with either simvastatin (2.1 mg/kg), rosuvastatin (0.5 mg/kg), or fenofibrate (8.2 mg/kg). Blood samples were taken on days 30 and 60. The results showed that the administration of COC+HFD and vehicle for 30 days increased the rats body weight and dyslipidemia, characterized by a significant decrease in Low-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and an increase in total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) levels (P0.05). Among the treatments, only fenofibrate was found to be able to prevent a significant weight gain in rats. Both fenofibrate and rosuvastatin inhibited a significant rise in TG and TC levels. Meanwhile, the simvastatin administration failed to do the same. Although statistically insignificant, all treatments increased rats HDL levels. Thus, it can be concluded fenofibrate was the most effective treatment among all in reducing weight gain and improving the lipid profile of dyslipidemic rats induced by oral contraceptives and a high-fat diet.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan efektivitas pentagamavunon-0 (PGV-0) terhadap penghambatan ekspresi siklooksigenase-2 (COX-2) pada kanker kolon tikus Wistar. Pada penelitian ini digunakan 20 ekor tikus Wistar jantan yang dibagi secara acak dalam 4 kelompok perlakuan. Kelompok I merupakan kontrol negatif, kelompok II kontrol positif, kelompok III diberi PGV-0 40 mg/kg BB selama 15 minggu, dan kelompok IV diberi PGV-0 40 mg/kg BB selama 25 minggu. Pemberian PGV-0 dilakukan secara oral dua kali seminggu. Induksi kanker kolon dilakukan dengan cara injeksi subkutan DMH 60 mg/kg BB, satu kali seminggu selama 15 minggu. Pada minggu ke-26, semua hewan coba dieutanasia, kolon difiksasi dalam formalin 10% untuk selanjutnya diamati perubahan makroskopik dan mikroskopik. Penilaian ekspresi COX-2 dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode Dukes stage dan skor imunoreaktivitas (IRS). Hasil penelitian ini memperlihatkan pemberian PGV-0 selama 25 minggu menurunkan jumlah nodul kanker kolon dari 5 ke 2 (berkurang 60%); diameter kanker kolon (pxl) dari 0,712 mm ke 0,0043 mm (berkurang 99,31%). Pemberian PGV-0 selama 15 minggu hanya menurunkan jumlah nodul 10% dan area kanker kolon dari 0,712 mm ke 0,0062 mm (99,07%). Skor imunoreaktivitas COX-2 diekspresikan oleh kelompok III dan IV adalah 4 dan 5. Gambaran histologis dari kolon mendukung hasil di atas. Pemberian PGV-0 efektif menurunkan jumlah dan area nodul kanker kolon melalui penghambatan ekspresi COX-2.

Abstract

Andrographis paniculata, commonly known as sambiloto, is empirically used for various treatments, including its ability to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). This study aims to evaluate the growth inhibition activity of M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv using sambiloto herb extract (Andrographis paniculata). The sambiloto extract was prepared using the maceration method. M. tuberculosis was grown on MODS medium, and the toxicity of sambiloto (A. paniculata) was analyzed using pharmacokinetic prediction studies (pkCMS). The results showed that at concentrations of 0.255 mg/ml, 1.275 mg/ml, and 2.55 mg/ml of sambiloto extract, M. tuberculosis growth occurred on days 7 to 14. Further observations were made until day 28, and it was found that starting at a concentration of 6.375 mg/ml, sambiloto extract did not show M. tuberculosis growth in MODS medium. The positive control, isoniazid, did not show bacterial growth, while the negative control showed extensive bacterial growth on day 12. The determination of M. tuberculosis growth was based on microscopic observations of the bacterial colonies, focusing on cord formation. In conclusion, this study, the use of an extract with a concentration of 6.375 mg/ml in the MODS method showed no growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, indicating that the extract is effective in inhibiting bacterial growth at this concentration. The online pkCSM test conducted in this study showed that the extract used is not cytotoxic, meaning that the extract is safe for body cells and does not cause cellular damage. Therefore, it has the potential to be an adjunct therapy in the treatment of tuberculosis.

Abstract

Oxidative stress is a primary mechanism of aging and is characterized by elevated levels of malondialdehyde (MDA). Natural antioxidants are being increasingly explored for the prevention of premature aging. The gonads of the sea urchin Diadema setosum contain bioactive compounds, including omega-3 fatty acids, flavonoids, and phenolics, which possess unique ecological adaptations that enhance secondary metabolite production, making them a promising marine antioxidant source. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of D. setosum gonad extract on MDA levels in male Wistar rats undergoing d-galactose-induced aging. An experimental post-test control group design was conducted from July to November 2024, involving 24 rats divided into four groups: standard control (K1), positive control (K2), and two treatment groups receiving extracts at doses of 100 mg/kg (P1) and 300 mg/kg (P2). D-galactose was used for aging at 150 mg/kg body weight for eight weeks, followed by oral administration of the extract for an additional eight weeks. MDA levels were measured using ELISA at weeks 0, 6, 10, and 14. The results showed a significant increase in MDA levels in the positive control group (K2) compared to the normal group (p=0.002), indicating oxidative stress induction. In contrast, treatment with D. setosum gonad extract, particularly in the P2 group, significantly reduced MDA levels (p<0.05), approaching those of the normal group. In conclusion, D. setosum gonad extract has potential as a natural antioxidant for suppressing oxidative stress associated with aging.
