Abstract

Tindarung fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, namely DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid). Therefore, tindarung fish oil has the potential to be developed as a cholesterol drug. This study aims to determine the activity of HMG-CoA reductase from fatty acids of tindarung fish oil using an in silico study with molecular docking. The receptor used was the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase (PDB ID: 1HW9) with the native ligand simvastatin prepared using YASARA. The fatty acid compounds were drawn using MarvinSketch at pH 7.4 with 10 confirmations. In the molecular anchoring process, the PLANTS program was used and visualized in 2D with Discovery Studio Visualizer and in 3D with Pymol. The native ligand showed a docking value of -76.4052. Compounds 1,2,3,8,11, and 12 had relative values for simvastatin of more than 95%. These compounds have molecular anchoring activity similar to simvastatin so it is predicted to be able to reduce cholesterol levels by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme.

Abstract

This study developed a Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) to enhance its stability and bioavailability. 8 formulations (F1–F8) were tested with varying Tween 80 : PEG 400 ratios (Smix 4.5 mL). Formula F7 (2.8 : 1.8 mL) produced a water-clear emulsion with pH 5.20 ± 0.02 and excellent stability for 28 days. PSA results showed droplet size 20.33 ± 0.57 nm, PDI 0.430 ± 0.053, and zeta potential −19.58 ± 1.50 mV. These findings indicated that F7 is the optimum, physicochemically stable SNEDDS formulation, potentially improving solubility and oral bioavailability of red ginger’s active compounds as a phytopharmaceutical antidiabetic candidate Keywords: red ginger, SNEDDS, nanoemulsion, physicochemical stability
