Abstract

Blumea balsamifera from the Ie-Jue geothermal area in Aceh Province, Indonesia, has been reported to have a variety of secondary metabolites. However, there is limited information about the activity of these chemical metabolites from B. balsamifera. The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of these compounds using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Six selective compounds were thoroughly evaluated using molecular docking techniques for their inhibitory effects on both Coronavirus protease and human interleukin receptors. Additionally, druglikeness assessments based on the Lipinski rule of five were performed to evaluate these six ligands. Our results show that stigmasterol, a key component of B. balsamifera, has demonstrated low binding free energy values across four receptors. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the stability of the top ligand-receptor complex, particularly stigmasterol-1IRA, based on five parameters, indicating its stability as an inhibitor. This research highlights the potential of stigmasterol as a therapeutic agent derived from medicinal plants of B. balsamifera and underscores the value of our molecular approach in identifying opportunities for pharmaceutical development.

Abstract

When washing hands, handwashing is one way to prevent diseases caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, the most common bacteria that can cause infections. The production of handwash utilizing silver nanoparticles as an active antibacterial agent remains a relatively infrequent practice. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles from the leaves of Calotropis gigantea, which grows in the geothermal area of Ie Seu-um Aceh Besar, has been carried out using the green synthesis method and hybrid green synthesis with patchouli oil. Handwash with active ingredients such as silver nanoparticles was successfully formulated, evaluated, and tested against S. aureus and E. coli. The organoleptic characteristics, pH, viscosity, foam height measurements, density, irritation, and antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli were evaluated. The results showed that the organoleptic properties of the handwash with silver nanoparticles were not changed during a 30-day storage period, with pH values in the range of 9.7-10.3, and did not cause irritation upon using silver nanoparticle handwash. The best formula for handwashing with silver nanoparticles in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria was F2, with inhibition zones of 12.9 ± 2.85 mm and 10.95 ± 0.8 mm, respectively. The formulated handwash with silver nanoparticles met the requirements of good liquid soap according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) with potent antibacterial activity.

Abstract

Inflammatory diseases such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular conditions are driven by overproduction of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent inflammatory mediator. Leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) plays a critical role in converting leukotriene A4 into LTB4, making it a prime target for drug discovery. Despite ongoing efforts, developing effective LTA4H inhibitors has been challenging due to the complex binding properties of the enzyme and the structural diversity of potential inhibitors. Traditional drug discovery methods, like high-throughput screening (HTS), are often time-consuming and inefficient, prompting the need for more advanced approaches. Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) modeling, enhanced by ensemble machine learning techniques, provides a promising solution by enabling accurate prediction of compound bioactivity based on molecular descriptors. In this study, six ensemble machine learning methods—AdaBoost, Extra Trees, Gradient Boosting, LightGBM, Random Forest, and XGBoost—were employed to classify LTA4H inhibitors. The dataset, comprising 636 compounds labeled as active or inactive based on pIC50 values, was processed to extract 450 molecular descriptors after feature engineering. The results show that the LightGBM model achieved the highest classification accuracy (83.59%) and Area Under the Curve (AUC) value (0.901), outperforming other models. XGBoost and Random Forest also demonstrated strong performance, with AUC values of 0.890 and 0.895, respectively. The high sensitivity (95.24%) of the XGBoost model highlights its ability to accurately identify active compounds, though it exhibited slightly lower specificity (61.36%), indicating a higher false-positive rate. These findings suggest that ensemble machine learning models, particularly LightGBM, are highly effective in predicting bioactivity, offering valuable tools for early-stage drug discovery. The results indicate that ensemble methods significantly enhance QSAR model accuracy, making them viable for identifying promising LTA4H inhibitors, potentially accelerating the development of anti-inflammatory therapies.

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, with the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques playing a key role in its progression. Beta-Secretase 1 (BACE1) is a crucial enzyme in Aβ production, making it a prime therapeutic target for AD treatment. However, designing effective BACE1 inhibitors has been challenging due to poor selectivity and limited blood-brain barrier permeability. To address these challenges, we employed a machine learning approach using Support Vector Regression (SVR) in a Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) model to predict the inhibitory activity of potential BACE1 inhibitors. Our model, trained on a dataset of 7,298 compounds from the ChEMBL database, accurately predicted pIC50 values using molecular descriptors, achieving an R² of 0.690 on the testing set. The model's performance demonstrates its utility in prioritizing drug candidates, potentially accelerating drug discovery. This study highlights the effectiveness of computational approaches in optimizing drug discovery and suggests that further refinement could enhance the model’s predictive power for AD therapeutics.

Abstract

The rise in antimicrobial resistance has prompted the search for potent antimicrobial agents, with plants from unique environments, such as geothermal areas, offering potential due to their diverse phytochemical profiles. This study evaluated the antiplanktonic and antibiofilm activity of M. edule fractions from the geothermal area, Jaboi, Sabang. Crude extracts of M. edule were sequentially fractionated using hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. The resulting fractions were further analyzed for their phytochemical content and antiplanktonic and antibiofilm activities. The ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated superior antiplanktonic and antibiofilm activities compared to other fractions, inhibiting 50% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa planktonic and biofilm formation at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. The most potent fraction exhibited the phenolic content, 672.84 mg GAE/g extract, surpassing the other fractions. The GC-MS analysis shows the presence of pyrogallol, hexadecanoic acid, cedran-diol, and sitosterol. These findings highlight the potential of the ethyl acetate fraction of M. edule as a source of bioactive compounds with promising antiplanktonic and antibiofilm properties, laying the groundwork for future research into its therapeutic applications against biofilm-associated infections.

Abstract

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, primarily managed by lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). Carbonic Anhydrase-II (CA-II) inhibitors play a crucial role in this treatment by reducing aqueous humor production. However, existing CA-II inhibitors often suffer from poor selectivity, side effects, and limited bioavailability, highlighting the need for more efficient and targeted drug discovery approaches. This study uses machine learning-driven Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) modeling to predict CA-II inhibition based on molecular descriptors, significantly enhancing screening efficiency over traditional experimental methods. By evaluating multiple machine learning models, including Support Vector Machine, Gradient Boosting, and Random Forest, we identify SVM as the most effective classifier, achieving the highest accuracy (83.70%) and F1-score (89.36%). Class imbalance remains challenging despite high sensitivity, necessitating further improvements through resampling and hyperparameter optimization. Our findings underscore the potential of machine learning-based virtual screening in accelerating CA-II inhibitor identification and advocate for integrating AI-driven approaches with traditional drug discovery techniques. Future directions include deep learning enhancements and hybrid machine learning-docking frameworks to improve prediction accuracy and facilitate the development of more potent and selective glaucoma treatments.
