Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an urgent global health concern, prompting the need for alternative therapeutic agents. This study evaluated the antimicrobial potential of ethyl acetate extracts from five medicinal plant species (Memecylon edule, Garcinia dioica, Syzygium sp., Memecylon caeruleum, and Aporosa octandra) collected from the geothermal Jaboi Crater in Aceh, Indonesia. Phytochemical profiling was performed using thin layer chromatography (TLC), and antimicrobial activity was assessed via TLC-bioautography against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. The results revealed the presence of phenolic and terpenoid compounds, with antibacterial activity observed only against E. coli. No inhibition was detected against S. aureus or C. albicans. The study highlights the selective antimicrobial potential of geothermal plant extracts and underscores the relevance of bioautography as a rapid screening tool. While preliminary, these findings support further investigation into geothermal flora as a source of antibacterial compounds and call for advanced studies to isolate active constituents and explore their mechanisms of action.

Abstract

Cancer remains a major global health burden, with angiogenesis playing a central role in tumor growth and progression. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) is a key mediator of angiogenesis and an attractive therapeutic target, but existing inhibitors are limited by reduced efficacy, toxicity, and resistance, creating a need for more effective predictive models in drug discovery. In this study, an interpretable machine learning based QSAR approach was developed using a curated dataset of 10,221 VEGFR-2 inhibitors from ChEMBL represented by 164 molecular descriptors. Four algorithms, kNN, AdaBoost, Random Forest, and XGBoost, were compared, and XGBoost achieved the best results with an accuracy of 83.67 percent, sensitivity of 91.38 percent, specificity of 71.73 percent, F1-score of 87.17 percent, and AUC of 0.9009. Model interpretation with LIME identified molecular descriptors related to hydrogen bonding, electrostatics, and lipophilicity as key contributors to activity. These results indicate that interpretable ensemble models can combine strong predictive performance with mechanistic insights, supporting rational design and optimization of novel VEGFR-2 inhibitors for anticancer therapy.

Abstract

Bone waste is a sustainable, calcium-rich resource for the production of hydroxyapatite (HA), a biomaterial widely used in dental and bone tissue engineering. This systematic review evaluates recent advances in the extraction, transformation, and biological performance of HA derived from bone waste. A total of 20 records were initially identified, of which 11 full-text articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in the qualitative synthesis. The reviewed studies demonstrate that bone waste can be effectively converted into HA through several routes, including thermal-based extraction (calcination, annealing, and sintering at 600–1000°C), alkaline hydrolysis, and hydrothermal or microwave-assisted methods, enabling the production of micro- and nano-sized HA with high purity. Post-extraction functionalization, such as ion doping (Mg²⁺, Na⁺, Co²⁺), drug loading, and composite formation, further enhances osteogenic, antimicrobial, and mechanical properties. Physicochemical characterization using XRD and FTIR consistently confirmed the formation of non-stoichiometric, ion-substituted HA with Ca/P ratios ranging from 1.6 to 1.9, closely resembling biogenic apatite. The presence of multiscale porosity (25–65%) and nano-scale features promotes protein adsorption, ion exchange, and cellular interactions. In vitro studies confirmed cytocompatibility, while ALP activity and mineralization assays demonstrated strong osteogenic potential. Overall, bone waste–derived HA offers biomimetic, functional, and environmentally sustainable alternatives for dental and maxillofacial applications.

Abstract

The Beta-2 Adrenergic Receptor (ADRB2) is a well-characterized G protein–coupled receptor widely studied in pharmacology and drug discovery. In this study, quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models were developed using molecular descriptor–based machine learning approaches to predict the activity of ADRB2 ligands. A curated dataset of 745 compounds with experimentally determined IC₅₀ values was obtained from the ChEMBL database. Two-dimensional molecular descriptors were calculated and preprocessed to remove low-variance and highly correlated features, resulting in a refined feature set for model development. The dataset was categorized into active and inactive compounds and divided into training and testing subsets. Four machine learning algorithms. Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Gradient Boosting, and Random Forest were implemented and evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC metrics. Among the models, Random Forest achieved the best performance, with an accuracy of 89.26%, F1-score of 89.87%, and AUC of 0.926, followed by Gradient Boosting with an accuracy of 87.92% and AUC of 0.922. Analysis of physicochemical descriptors indicated that hydrogen-bond donor capacity (nHD) shows a statistically significant association with variations in compound activity toward ADRB2, while lipophilicity (LogP) and hydrogen-bond acceptor count (nHA) do not exhibit statistically significant differences between activity classes. Overall, the results demonstrate that molecular descriptor–based machine learning models, particularly ensemble methods, provide an effective framework for predicting ADRB2-related compound activity and support the prioritization of candidate molecules in computational drug discovery.
