Abstract

Oryzanol has been reported to reduce serum total cholesterol (hypolipidemic agent) by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme responsible for the metabolic pathway that produces cholesterol and isoprenoid. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the inhibition activity of oryzanol derivatives on HMG-CoA reductase by molecular docking. Four structure of oryzanol derivatives, Lanosteryl-ferulate, Brassicasteryl-ferulate, Lupeol-ferulate, and Cholesteryl-ferulate were used as ligands for molecular docking. The HMG-CoA reductase structure was obtained from protein data bank and the study was performed using AutoDock Tools as a molecular docking software. All oryzanol derivatives show binding affinity against HMG-CoA reductase. Lupeol-ferulate was predicted to be the best inhibitory activity against HMG-CoA reductase because of molecular docking.

Abstract

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is widely utilized across Indonesia as both a staple food and a traditional medicinal resource, and its leaves are known to contain bioactive secondary metabolites such as flavonoids. This study aimed to quantify the total flavonoid content in several cassava leaf varieties and to isolate a flavonoid compound from the variety with the highest flavonoid content. Total flavonoid content was determined using UV-Visible spectrophotometry. The isolation of flavonoid compounds was carried out using vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) and column chromatography (CC), with thin-layer chromatography (TLC) employed to monitor the separation results. The total flavonoid content of the Gajah, UJ-3 (Thailand), UJ-5 (Katsesart), Cimanggu dan Kaspro varieties were found to be 1.029 ± 0.003 mgQE/g, 0.746 ± 0.006 mgQE/g, 0.970 ± 0.009 mgQE/g, 0.936 ± 0.004 mgQE/g and 1.220 ± 0.003 mgQE/g, respectively. The Kaspro variety exhibited the highest flavonoid content. Isolation and characterization of the flavonoid from Kaspro leaves yielded a yellowish powder with absorption maxima at 269 nm (Band II) and 334 nm (Band I). Further analysis using shift reagents identified the isolated compound as apigenin, a member of the flavone group.

Abstract

Ascorbic acid and its derivatives with nicotinamide are often used as skin lightening, anti-aging, and anti-pigmentation agents. Combining these two active substances may increase the risk of instability due to degradation. This research was conducted to determine the effect of nicotinamide concentration on the degradation process of ascorbic acid and its derivatives, and to determine the degradation products formed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The study was conducted by combining nicotinamide concentrations ranging from 5 to 15 micrograms per milliliter with incubation times of 1, 2, 3, and 24 hours to react with ascorbic acid and its derivatives. The spectral shape and maximum wavelength were analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Samples that showed changes in chemical structure were subsequently analyzed by LC-MS to identify degradation products. The results showed that only the combination of ascorbic acid and nicotinamide shifted the maximum wavelength and generated a new peak at 310 nm after 24 hours of incubation. Nicotinamide can accelerate the degradation process of ascorbic acid. The LC-MS analysis results show that the degradation products formed from the combination of ascorbic acid and nicotinamide samples are dehydroascorbic acid and 3-hydroxy-2-pyrone. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating stabilizing agents into cosmetic formulations containing unstable active ingredients, such as ascorbic acid, to ensure product stability during storage and use.
