Abstract

The Mane plant (Vitex pinnata L.) is traditionally used as medicine in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This study aimed to predict the pharmacokinetic parameters of compounds in the ethanolic extract of Mane leaf (EEML), including the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET), by in-silico approach. The method used was to analyze the compounds using a web-predictor server and molecular docking. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) analysis of EEML showed the presence of active compounds, including phytol (60.93%), acorenol (8.56%), n-hexadecanoic acid (4.89%), trans-Z-alpha-bisabolene epoxide (2.7%) and cedrane (2.03%). Lipinski's rule of five states that all compounds had a deviation of less than 2. Pharmacokinetic parameters suggested that phytol was moderately absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and had a toxicity level of 5 with lethal doses (LD50) >5000 mg/kg. Molecular docking results showed that phytol could be used against the targeted enzyme Staphylococcus aureus. In conclusion, our study suggests that the active compounds of EEML may have potential as a drug candidate.

Abstract

The lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation, located in Ie Seu-um village, Aceh Besar District, harbors several medicinal plants that exhibit potential for the treatment of infectious diseases. This study aims to assess the secondary metabolite content and in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans of medicinal plants inhabiting the geothermal region. Medicinal plants, namely Pluchea indica (L.) Less., Acrostichum aureum L., Acacia mangium L., and Calotropis gigantea (L.) Dryand., were collected within a range of 100-150 meters from the hot springs in the lower area. Methanol extracts of these medicinal plants underwent phytochemical screening and were tested for antimicrobial activity using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method at a concentration of 50%. The results of phytochemical screening demonstrated positive variations in alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and tannins for each medicinal plant. The antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts noticeably inhibited the growth of S. aureus compared to E. coli and C. albicans. The largest inhibition zones were observed for the leaf part of A. mangium (12.70 ± 2.30 mm) against S. aureus, the aerial part of A. aureum (11.57 ± 2.01 mm) against E. coli, and the aerial part of P. indica (9.89 ± 1.11 mm) against C. albicans. Based on the research findings, medicinal plants originating from the lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation exhibit potential as antimicrobial agents, particularly against gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract

Pogostemon cablin Benth also known as a patchouli plant, is a member of Lamiaceae family, and the source of patchouli essential oil. This plant is an important herb which possesses many therapeutic properties. In traditional medicinal practices, patchouli oil is used to relieve depression, stress, calm nerves, control appetite and to improve sexual interest. Up to the present moment, almost 200 volatile and non-volatile compounds have been isolated and identified from Pogostemon cablin including flavonoid, phytosterols, glycosides, terpenes, sesquiterpenes, organic acids, and others. Modern studies revealed that the patchouli plant have been used for various applications such as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidepressant, antithrombotic, antiplatelet, fibrinolytic, antiemetic, antimutagenic, and aphrodisiac. In aromatherapy, this plant is believed to be able to improve blood circulation and sexual interest. The flavonoid compounds, such as acacetin and apigenin are believed to play an important role as an aphrodisiac. The mechanisms of action of this plant as an aphrodisiac is believed by increasing androgens and estrogen levels in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which further increases arousal sexual desire. However, some uses need to be verified and may require standardizing and authenticating the bioactivity of purified compounds through scientific methods. This perspective study discusses the aphrodisiac potential of Pogostemon cablin Benth, including their chemical constituents, health benefit, mechanism action, and the role of main bioactive compound as an aphrodisiac.

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

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

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

Cocoa fruit (Theobroma cacao) is one of Indonesia's most important commodities and is widely used as a raw material in various industries. Until now, cocoa fruit has primarily been used for its seeds, while its skin has not been widely explored. This study aims to formulate a peel-off mask from cacao husk and determine its antioxidant activity. The antioxidant test method used was the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay. Analysis results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction contained secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, tannins, and steroids. However, the peel-off mask formulation made with a combination of the ethyl acetate fraction of cocoa husk and polyvinyl alcohol was unstable due to changes in its characteristics during storage. Nevertheless, the resulting peel-off mask exhibited relatively strong antioxidant activity, with IC₅₀ values of 6.819 ppm for the ethyl acetate fraction and 11.596 ppm for the mask. These results suggest that cocoa husk contains bioactive compounds that support strong antioxidant activity. Therefore, cocoa husk has great potential as an active ingredient in cosmetic formulations. However, further formula optimization is needed to improve the formulation's stability while maintaining optimal antioxidant activity.
