Abstract

Halitosis is an oral malodor condition in the oral cavity that comes from the breakdown of protein by anaerobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Some bacteria that are often found in cases of halitosis are Solobacterium moorei, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, Treponema denticola, dan Streptococcus mutans. Medicinal plants to treat various diseases have shown minimal side effects. Indonesia is one of the countries that has used plants as traditional medicine since ancient times. As many as 7,000 species of medicinal plants in Indonesia have been studied to address health problems. Among the medicinal plants that have been studied are Green Betel (Piper betle L.), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Star Anise (Illicium verum), Mint (Mentha piperita) dan Oregano (Origanum vulgare) which have been shown to cure various diseases. This review article describes the potential of plants as an antibacterial against halitosis. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of ethnomedicine and the potential effects of antibacterial medicinal plants that can be used in cases of halitosis.

Abstract

Background: The demand for natural-based cosmetic products has increased substantially, driven by consumer awareness of safety, efficacy, and sustainability, with facial serums being preferred for anti-aging and skin-brightening applications. Objective: This review aimed to synthesise scientific evidence on the potential of resveratrol, marine collagen, and jicama (Pachyrhizus erosus) extract as key actives in multipurpose facial serum formulations with antioxidant, anti-ageing, and skin-brightening claims. Methods: A narrative review was conducted using original research articles published between 2015 and 2025 retrieved from PubMed and Crossref databases, focusing on quantitative outcomes including antioxidant and antityrosinase IC₅₀ values, changes in skin elasticity and hydration, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and molecular biomarkers of skin ageing. Results: Of 1,393 identified records, 20 studies met the inclusion criteria (resveratrol n=6; collagen n=8; P. erosus n=6). Resveratrol shows strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities that mitigate UV-induced photoaging; marine collagen, particularly hydrolysates, improves skin hydration and elasticity; and jicama extract provides antioxidant activity, including phenolic- and flavonoid-rich compounds, with tyrosinase inhibitory effects. Conclusion: Integrating these three actives may offer synergistic multi-target benefits; however, further formulation studies and clinical evaluations are required to confirm stability, compatibility, and combined efficacy within a single serum product.

Abstract

Betel leaf (Piper betle) contains antibacterial compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids. Endophytic fungi within plant tissues can produce similar bioactive metabolites. This study aimed to isolate, identify, and evaluate the antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi from young betel leaves against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. This was experimental research. Endophytic fungi were isolated from young betel leaves on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and identified macroscopically and microscopically. Antibacterial activity was tested using the paper disk agar diffusion method. Three endophytic fungal isolates were obtained: Isolate 1 (Trichoderma sp.), Isolate 2 (Rhizoctonia sp.), and Isolate 3 (Fusarium sp.). Against P. aeruginosa, Isolate 2 produced an average inhibition zone of 7.33 mm, and Isolate 3 produced 8.00 mm. Against S. aureus, Isolate 1 produced 7.33 mm and Isolate 3 produced 7.33 mm. No inhibition was observed for the negative control (DMSO). Endophytic fungi from betel leaves, particularly isolates resembling Rhizoctonia sp., Fusarium sp., and Trichoderma sp., show weak to moderate antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus under the tested conditions. Further studies using molecular identification and purified extracts are recommended.

Abstract

The present study was conducted to assess the acute oral toxicity of a copigment complex formulated from extracts of black rice (Oryza sativa L., indica) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Despite extensive individual pharmacological investigations of these botanical sources, no safety data have previously been documented for their combined copigment complex intended as a functional beverage constituent. Following the Acute Toxic Class methodology (OECD 423), the complex was orally administered as a single dose at 300, 2000, or 5000 mg/kg body weight (BW) to female Swiss Webster mice (n=3 per dose group), alongside a vehicle control group administered 1% Na-CMC. A comprehensive 14-day monitoring program assessed mortality, a range of clinical indicators (including tremor, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, lethargy, locomotion, coat condition, and ocular appearance), and body weight at Days 0, 7, and 14. No animal deaths occurred across any group. Transient, mild hypoactivity was noted in animals receiving 5000 mg/kg at 1–2 hours post-dose, which resolved completely by 4 hours post-administration. No additional adverse clinical manifestations or weight loss were detected. Based on these findings, the median lethal dose (LD50) is projected to surpass 5000 mg/kg BW, corresponding to GHS Category 5 (practically non-toxic). The results collectively establish a safety foundation for the use of this copigment complex as a functional ingredient in isotonic beverage products, while acknowledging the need for further subchronic and chronic toxicological investigations.

Abstract

Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease that contributes to increased morbidity and mortality rates. Pharmacological therapy often causes side effects and decreases patient compliance, so a safe and effective complementary treatment approach is needed. Therapy is known to have physiological effects on the cardiovascular system, while aromatherapy has relaxing and vasodilatory effects. The development of aromatherapy in the form of nanoemulsion is expected to increase the stability and effectiveness of therapy, especially when combined with cupping therapy. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of nano aromatherapy cupping on mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate in hypertensive patients. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sampling method used random sampling, as many as 30 hypertensive patients were divided into two groups: the intervention group that received cupping therapy and aromatherapy nanoemulsion, and the control group that only received cupping therapy. The dependent variables included mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate measured before and after the intervention. Data analysis used the T test. The results showed a significant decrease in MAP and heart rate in both groups after the intervention (p < 0.05). However, the results of the inter-group test showed that the difference in the decrease in MAP and heart rate between the intervention and control groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The conclusion of this study shows that cupping therapy with aromatherapy nanoemulsion is effective in reducing MAP and heart rate in hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Antosianin merupakan pigmen alami yang berperan penting sebagai antioksidan namun stabilitasnya relatif rendah terhadap faktor lingkungan seperti cahaya, pH dan suhu. Upaya untuk meningkatkan stabilitas antosianin dapat dilakukan melalui mekanisme kopigmentasi dengan senyawa polifenol. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh kopigmentasi antara antosianin beras hitam (Oryza sativa L. indica) dengan polifenol yang diperoleh dari rebusan kacang kedelai (Glycine max L.) terhadap kestabilan warna dan aktivitas antioksidan. Ekstraksi antosianin dilakukan menggunakan pelarut asam sitrat, sedangkan polifenol kacang kedelai diperoleh melalui ekstraksi maserasi dari rebusan kacang kedelai yang diperkaya senyawa fenolik. Kopigmentasi dilakukan dengan variasi rasio perbandingan 1:1, 1:2 dan 1:3, kemudian dianalisis melalui spektrofotometri UV-Vis untuk menentukan pergeseran λmaks, intensitas warna, serta kestabilan pigmen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan polifenol kacang kedelai mampu meningkatkan intensitas warna pada antosianin beras hitam. Selain itu, aktivitas antioksidan menunjukkan peningkatan dibandingkan antosianin tunggal, menandakan adanya sinergi antara kedua senyawa bioaktif. Dengan demikian, kopigmentasi antosianin beras hitam dengan polifenol kacang kedelai berpotensi meningkatkan kestabilan pigmen alami, dengan rasio 1:1 menunjukkan keseimbangan terbaik antara stabilitas warna dan aktivitas antioksidan.
