Abstract

The complex compound of [Mn(salen)OAc] can serve as mSOD and its activity has been determined non-enzymatically in vitro through riboflavin photoreduction. The complex was synthesized from Mn(OAc)2.4H2O and H2salen. Based on the elemental analysis, the C=56.69%; H=4.21%; and N=7.52% content are corresponding to the chemical formula of MnC18H17N2O4. The functional groups and ionic species in the complex have been analyzed by infrared spectroscopy and ESI-MS. SOD activity was determined by mixing complex at various concentrations with riboflavin and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), then the mixture was lighted with 20 Watt tungsten lamp for 15 minutes in a closed box. Then the reduced NBT absorptions were measured at λ 560 nm. The difference of absorbance between standard and sample solutions (without and with riboflavin, respectively) was multiplied by 100% to obtain %inhibition of each various sample concentration against NBT. SOD activity was obtained from IC50 data defined as a 50% inhibition of the plot curve of % inhibition to the concentration of the complex. The result obtained for this compound is IC50 = 2.7 ± 0.05 µM as well as enzymatic method. Therefore, this method can be used to determine the SOD activity by giving more stability and accuracy of IC50 value.

Abstract

One of the main issues for women in the reproductive age range is leucorrhoea, which causes a woman ongoing distress, and occasionally be the first sign of several of the main gynecological disorders. The widespread use of fluconazole antibiotics has caused Candida sp to become resistant. Alternative non-pharmacological treatments based on natural products are needed, especially P. crocatum which has antioxidant, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory activities. This study analyzed the empirical study of P. crocatum used against leucorrhoea due to C. albicans. The empirical study presented that vaginal discharge was reduced after using P. crocatum formulations. The infection parameter of vaginal pH level, the intensity of pain, and itching were significantly recovered with p values of 0.008, 0.000, and 0.001, respectively, while the reducing C. albicans colonies was 0.001. P. crocatum decoction formulation is effective in reducing vaginal yeast infections in women, close to the results of the positive control, ketoconazole.

Abstract

The pathogenic bacteria P. gingivalis grows in the oral cavity. This bacterium could attack immune system which lead to inflammation of most tissues. P. gingivalis can cause a variety of serious and dangerous condition such as periodontitis, Alzheimer, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and pneumonia. Antibiotics have been used for years as a treatment against this bacterium, like metronidazole, amoxicillin, and clindamycin, however, P. gingivalis is reported to be resistant to these antibiotics, thus exploration to discover alternatives has been demanded. Natural product compounds are known to have antibacterial activity and cause fewer side effects. Turmeric, eucalyptus, and several other plants have been reported to have antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis with a MIC of 1g/mL from an ethyl acetate leaf extract of eucalyptus. Decent antibacterial activity could be used as a reference to discover new drugs as alternatives against P. gingivalis

Abstract

The ethyl acetate fraction separated from the stembark of Sonneratia caseolaris retrieved three phenolic compounds, including quercetin-3-O-glucoside (1), quercetin (2), and 1-O-(2,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)-β-D-glucopyranose (3). For the first time, compounds 1 and 3 were discovered from Sonneratia genus. Data from various spectroscopic techniques, including mass spectroscopy and one- and two-dimensional NMR, were used to identify their chemical structures. Antibacterial activity has also been assessed for all compounds against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25175 and Streptococcus mutans ATCC 6538. Compounds 1–3 displayed varying levels of antibacterial activity against S. aureus and S. mutans. However, all compounds exhibited lower efficacy compared to the control, with their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 71.25 to greater than 100 µg/mL. This study provides a foundation for optimizing S. caseolaris phenolic compounds as antibacterial agents and highlights the need for comparative studies within the Sonneratia genus to identify potent bioactive candidates through structural modification or synergistic approaches.

Abstract

The routine and long term use of chemicals to maintain oral and dental health have the potency to result in the emergence of side effects; therefore another strategy is needed as an alternative such as using antimicrobial agents extracted from plants. The purpose of this study is to review the effectiveness of lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel extract as an antibacterial in preventing biofilm formation. Biofilm is a component consisting of bacteria in a self-produced polymeric matrix, attached to an inert surface, alive, and can survive because of its ability to capture nutrients and withstand adverse environmental conditions. Lime peel contains flavonoids which are the largest group of polyphenol compounds that can work as antioxidants and antibacterial by denaturing bacterial cell proteins and damaging bacterial cells. Flavonoids can also inhibit glucosyltransferase (GTF) activity of Streptococcus mutans to prevent biofilm formation. Lime peel extract inhibits the formation of the activity of the enzyme Streptococcus mutans. As a conclusion lime peel extract contains compounds with therapeutic potential and has the effect of inhibiting the formation of the activity of the enzyme Streptococcus mutans so that it can be used to inhibit the formation of biofilms.

Abstract

Introduction: Fusobacterium nucleatum and Staphylococcus aureus, both associated with pulp and periapical diseases, must be effectively eliminated during irrigation. Natural agents are generally more biocompatible and less harmful to bodily tissues, making them a promising alternative to chemical irrigants such as sodium hypochlorite. Fractions of Moringa oleifera have demonstrated potential as an alternative irrigant due to their antibacterial and antibiofilm properties. This study aimed to analyze the antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy of Moringa oleifera fractions against Fusobacterium nucleatum and Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: The tube dilution method was used for antibacterial tests, while the biofilm assay method measured the optical density (OD) in a 96-well plate to evaluate antibiofilm effects against Fusobacterium nucleatum ATCC 25586 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Moringa oleifera fractions were tested at 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% concentrations. A one-way ANOVA test was applied for normally distributed data, and the Kruskal Wallis test was used for non-normally distributed data. Post-hoc analyses were conducted to determine significant differences between groups, with the significance level set at 0.05. Results: The antibacterial test revealed statistically significant differences between Moringa oleifera groups in eliminating Fusobacterium nucleatum (p=0.003, p<0.05) and Staphylococcus aureus with p value (p=0.001, p<0.05). The antibiofilm test also showed statistically significant differences among the concentration groups for both bacteria. Conclusion: The antibacterial and antibiofilm effectiveness of Moringa oleifera’s fractions against Fusobacterium nucleatum and Staphylococcus aureus, supporting its potential as an alternative irrigant.

Abstract

Introduction: Streptococcus sanguinis is a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria known as a pioneer that plays a role in creating the biofilm in the oral cavity. Strawberry fruit (Fragaria x ananassa) is an edible fruit widely used for the study as their active compound synergy to improve health. This study aims to analyse the antibacterial activity of strawberry fruit against S. sanguinis (ATCC 10556). Methods: An explorative study was conducted with high concentration methanol extract from strawberry fruit. Antibacterial activity was tested on the methanol extract; afterwards, the extract was fractionated and divided into three fractions: water, ethyl acetate, and hexane. Zone of inhibition was used to assess the most effective fraction among those three, then continued by testing for Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). Results: Inhibitory zone of the ethyl acetate fraction from strawberry fruit 1%, 2%, 3% ,4% and 5% sequentially were 7.3 mm,10.2 mm, 12.3 mm, 16.3 mm and 16.1 mm. Ethyl acetate fraction of 4% was the most effective to create the zone of inhibition with a size of 16.3 mm compared to the others. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) value was 0.25%. It was obtained by diluting a 4% ethyl acetate fraction on a microplate. The Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) was 2%. Conclusion: Ethyl acetate fraction was an effective fraction from strawberry fruit and had antibacterial activity against S. sanguinis with the inhibitory zone in the concentration of 4%, MIC of 0.25%, and MBC of 2%.

Abstract

Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is widely used in traditional medicine due to its rich content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds. However, the natural production of these metabolites is limited. Callus culture offers a controlled method to enhance their accumulation, with medium composition, particularly precursor supplementation, playing a critical role. Phenylalanine, an aromatic amino acid, is a key precursor in the biosynthesis of phenolics and flavonoids via the shikimate pathway. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of phenylalanine on callus growth and the accumulation of total phenolic and flavonoid compounds in basil. The experiment was conducted at the Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with phenylalanine concentrations of 0, 1.3, 1.6, and 2 g.L-1, each replicated six times. Results showed that phenylalanine treatments caused brown coloration, compact callus texture, and inhibited growth, as indicated by reduced fresh and dry weights. The 1.6 g.L-1 treatment produced the highest total phenolic content, while the 2 g.L-1 treatment yielded the highest flavonoid content. These findings suggest that phenylalanine can enhance secondary metabolite accumulation in basil callus, although it may suppress biomass growth.
