Abstract

Incision wounds are a type of open wound that requires treatment to prevent infection and accelerate healing. Using natural ingredient-based creams has become a more practical alternative to conventional ointments. Melon rind (Cucumis melo) contains active compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, and phenols that have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, potentially accelerating wound healing and reducing the risk of infection. This study aims to test the effectiveness of melon rind ethanol extract cream on incision wound healing in white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The study used an experimental method with three treatment groups: control (bacitracin), 15% melon peel extract cream (P1), and 25% melon peel extract cream (P2). Mice were adapted for 7 days before the treatment test. The cream was applied three times a day for 14 days, and wound diameter and body weight were observed every two days. Observation data were analysed using one way ANOVA test version 26.0. The results showed that melon rind extract cream had physical characteristics that met the standards. ANOVA and LSD tests on wound diameter showed significant differences between control and treatment, although there was no significant difference between P1 and P2. Meanwhile, the ANOVA and LSD test results on body weight showed significant differences between groups. Group P2 showed a steady increase in body weight, indicating the safety of the cream.

Abstract

Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) contains bioactive compounds, such as caffeine that have the potential to affect the digestive system and anxiety levels. This study aims to evaluate the effects of robusta coffee extract on gastric histopathology and anxiety levels in mice (Mus musculus). The method used involved 4 treatments, K1: negative control (without treatment), K2: positive control with aspirin 10.84 mg/20gr body weight of mice, K3: coffee extract 6.72 mg/20gr body weight of mice, K4: coffee extracts 13 mg/20gr body weight of mice. The results showed that robusta coffee extract impacted the histological structure of the stomach, with indications of changes in the gastric mucosa. In addition, there was a tendency for changes in the level of anxiety in mice analyzed through the behaviour test, Elevated Plus Maze test. This study provides insight into the potential physiological effects of robusta coffee consumption and its implications for gastric health and psychological conditions.

Abstract

Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) are plants that contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phytoestrogens that resemble the hormone estrogen, so they have the potential to affect the reproductive system. One of the indicators of the balance of reproductive hormones in female animals is the etrus cycle. An imbalance of the hormones estrogen and progesterone can cause changes in the duration of the etruscan cycle. This study aims to determine the effect of cucumber extract administration on the estrus cycle of female rats (Mus musculus). This study is an experimental study with Complete Random Design (CRD). A total of 9 female rats were divided into three groups, namely the control group, the treatment group with a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight, and the treatment group with a dose of 300 mg/kg body weight. Cucumber extract is administered orally for 15 days. Observation of the estrus cycle is carried out daily by the vaginal swab method. The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance test. The results showed that the average duration of the estrus cycle of the control group was 4.8 days, the 200 mg/kg BB dose treatment group was 6.1 days, and the 300 mg/kg BB dose treatment group was 4.6 days. The results of statistical analysis showed that the administration of cucumber extract did not have a significant effect on the estrus cycle of female mice (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that administration of cucumber extract at doses of 200 mg/kg BB and 300 mg/kg BB did not have a significant effect on the estrus cycle of female rats, although there is a tendency to alter the length of the estrus phase in some individuals.

Abstract

Cherry (Muntingia calabura L.) leaves contain primary secondary metabolites in the form of flavonoids that have the potential to inhibit fertility by interfering with ovarian, uterus, or vaginal function. One of the parameters that can be used to assess the antifertility potential of a compound or herbal extract is the estrous cycle. This study aimed to determine the effect of cherry leaves ethanol extract intake on the estrous cycle in female mice (Mus musculus). This study used a Complete Random Design (CRD) with 3 treatments, namely control of Na CMC 1% (C), cherry leaves extract at a dose of 125 mg/kg of mice body weight (T1), and 250 mg/kg of mice body weight (T2), each with 3 replicates. The results showed that cherry leaves ethanol extract did not have a significant effect on the length of the estrous cycle of mice analyzed by the Kruskal–Wallis test (Asymp value. Sig > 0.05), although there is a tendency for the estrous cycle in the treatment group to be longer than the control group. This study provides insights for follow-up research with more diverse doses, treatment duration, and reproductive parameters in determining the antifertility activity of an herbal metabolite compound.
