Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) continues to be a major cause of mortality and metabolic complications in developing nations, highlighting the urgent need for safer and more accessible therapies. Herbal bioactives from Syzygium polyanthum (SYPOL) have gained attention due to their traditional use in managing blood glucose levels. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying their antidiabetic effects remain poorly understood. This study employed an integrative in silico approach to evaluate the interactions between SYPOL-derived compounds and ten key protein targets involved in T2DM pathogenesis, including HK2, AKT1, PYGL, INSR, PYGM, IGF1R, PPARG, SLC2A1, MAPK3, and GCK. Ethanolic leaf extracts of SYPOL were analyzed using Liquid Chromatography–High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS) for phytochemical profiling. Detected compounds were screened for structural availability, toxicity, ADME properties, and compliance with Lipinski's Rule of Five prior to molecular docking. From 9.834 detected phytochemical features, 31 compounds met the selection criteria and were docked against the ten diabetes-related targets. The simulations revealed stable interactions within active site regions, primarily driven by hydrogen bonding and favorable binding energies, suggesting potential modulation of glucose metabolism and insulin signaling pathways. ADME profiling indicated acceptable pharmacokinetic properties, with most compounds satisfying Lipinski's parameters. Toxicity prediction showed a 54.83% probability of nephrotoxicity, emphasizing the importance of safety validation in future studies SYPOL contains multi-target bioactive compounds with potential to regulate glucose homeostasis. This computational analysis provides a mechanistic basis for subsequent experimental research and supports the development of SYPOL-based phytotherapeutics for T2DM management.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in Indonesia (25.8%) and remains a leading cause of death globally, accounting for approximately three million deaths annually. Poor patient adherence to antihypertensive therapy continues to be a major challenge in achieving optimal blood pressure control and preventing cardiovascular complications. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of pharmacist-led homecare interventions on medication adherence, drug-related problems (DRPs), clinical outcomes, and quality of life among hypertensive patients at Sei Mencirim Primary Health Center. Methods: A pre- and post-cohort study was conducted involving 38 hypertensive patients aged over 55 years between April and June 2024. Medication adherence was assessed using the MASES-R (Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale-Revised) questionnaire, DRPs were identified according to the PCNE V9.0 classification, clinical outcomes were evaluated through blood pressure measurements, and quality of life was measured using the SF-36 (Short Form-36) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Results: The majority of respondents were female (76.3%) and aged 56–66 years (71.0%). The mean adherence score significantly increased from 16.29 ± 2.35 to 40.97 ± 10.03 (p < 0.001), with adherence rates improving from 0% to 76.3%. A significant reduction was observed in drug-related problems, dropping from 14 to 2 cases, while adverse drug reactions decreased from 18 to 4 cases. The patients’ systolic blood pressure declined from 166.13 ± 17.85 mmHg to 129.07 ± 5.39 mmHg, and diastolic pressure decreased from 86.28 mmHg to 79.26 mmHg (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the average quality-of-life scores increased across all dimensions, including physical function (19.74–87.76), general health (2.19–90.46), and social functioning (4.28–94.41). Conclusion: Pharmacist-led homecare interventions involving continuous education, counseling, and patient support were proven effective in significantly improving medication adherence and quality of life among hypertensive patients. These findings suggest that such interventions should be implemented routinely in primary healthcare settings.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder with a continuously increasing global prevalence and remains a major health problem, characterized by hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, including elevated Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and decreased High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of tocotrienol rich fraction administration on blood glucose levels and lipid profile in rats induced with streptozotocin and a high fat diet. The study used 24 white rats divided into six groups: a negative control group, a positive control group treated with glibenclamide, and four treatment groups receiving tocotrienol rich fraction at doses of 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weight. The measured parameters included blood glucose, HDL, and LDL levels. The results show that tocotrienol rich fraction significantly reduces blood glucose levels and improves the lipid profile compared to the negative control group. The highest dose demonstrates the most optimal effect and approaches that of the positive control. Tocotrienol rich fraction increases HDL levels and decreases LDL levels in a dose dependent manner. These findings indicate that tocotrienol rich fraction significantly lowers blood glucose levels and improves lipid profile in streptozotocin induced and high fat diet rats in a dose dependent manner. Therefore, tocotrienol rich fraction has potential as an alternative therapeutic agent for diabetes mellitus with dyslipidemia.

Abstract

This study evaluates the hepatoprotective effects of ethanol extract of mobe leaves (Artocarpus lacucha Buch-Ham.) in rats induced with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). The objective was to determine the extract's efficacy in reducing liver damage markers, specifically total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, and to assess liver macropathology. The ethanol extract was prepared by maceration using 96% ethanol. Results showed that administering 400 mg/kg body weight (BW) of the extract significantly reduced total bilirubin, ALT, and AST levels in CCl4-induced rats. Additionally, liver macropathology observations indicated improved liver conditions in the treatment group. Phytochemical screening revealed bioactive compounds like flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids, and glycosides, which are potential antioxidants and hepatoprotective agents. The significant contribution of this research is providing a scientific basis for using mobe leaf extract as a natural hepatoprotective agent, highlighting its potential for safe and effective herbal medicine. Further research and clinical trials are recommended to validate these findings and explore the extract's therapeutic applications.

Abstract

Background: Liver injury due to exposure to hepatotoxic chemicals remains a major problem in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) is a classic hepatotoxic agent that induces oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and hepatocyte necrosis through free radical formation. Mobe leaves (Artocarpus lacucha Buch-Ham.) contain bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids and phenolics, which possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties with potential hepatoprotective effects. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ethanol extract of mobe leaves (EEML) on the liver histopathology of rats induced with carbon tetrachloride. Methods: This experimental study used a post-test only control group design. Twenty-five male rats were divided into five groups: negative control (CMC-Na 1% + CCl₄), positive control (silymarin 100 mg/kgBW + CCl₄), and three treatment groups receiving EEML at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kgBW + CCl₄. Hepatotoxicity was induced by intraperitoneal injection of CCl₄ (1 mL/kgBW) twice weekly for 14 days. Liver tissue was processed for hematoxylin-eosin staining, and histopathological changes (hepatocyte degeneration, necrosis, and inflammatory cell infiltration) were assessed semi-quantitatively using a scoring system (0-3). Results: CCl₄ induction caused severe liver damage in the negative control group, characterized by diffuse hydropic degeneration, extensive necrosis, and marked inflammatory infiltration (score 3 for all parameters). EEML administration significantly reduced liver injury in a dose-dependent manner. The 200 mg/kgBW dose showed the most pronounced hepatoprotective effect, with degeneration score 2, necrosis score 1, and inflammation score 2, approaching the protective effect of silymarin (score 1 for all parameters). Conclusion: Ethanol extract of mobe leaves demonstrated hepatoprotective activity against CCl₄-induced liver damage in rats, with the optimal effect at 200 mg/kgBW. These findings support the potential of mobe leaves as a natural hepatoprotective agent.
