Abstract

Latar belakang: Kanker masih menjadi salah satu penyebab kematian di dunia. Salah satu alternatif metode untuk mengobati kanker adalah dengan obat herbal yang mempunyai khasiat sebagai antikanker. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk manganalisis efek sitotoksik esktrak Capsium annuum pada sel WiDr. Metode: Kemampuan sitotoksik ekstrak Capsium annuum diuji secara in vitro pada sel WiDr menggunakan metode MTT tetrazolium reduction assay. Hasil: Hasil uji MTT menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak Capsicum annuum menghambat proliferasi sel WiDr seiring dengan peningkatan konsentrasi (400, 800, dan 1600 ppm), dengan persentase penghambatan sel tertinggi diperoleh pada konsentrasi 800 ppm dari setiap kelompok terapi 24, 48, dan 72 jam. Nilai inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) terendah dihasilkan oleh kelompok waktu terapi 48 jam, yaitu 651,18 ppm. Simpulan: Nilai IC50 ekstrak Capsicum annuum untuk sel WiDr memiliki nilai yang tinggi yang menunjukkan belum efektif sebagai obat antikanker. Penelitian lebih lanjut dibutuhkan untuk mendapatkan dosis terbaik agar dapat menghambat pertumbuhan sel WiDr secara maksimal.

Abstract

Background Nigella sativa L., commonly known as black cumin, is a medicinal plant widely recognized for its therapeutic properties. However, limited pharmacological evidence supports its antidiarrheal potential when prepared as an infusion. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition and antidiarrheal efficacy of Nigella sativa infusion in mice. Methods A total of 30 mice were divided into five groups: negative control (Tween 80 [1%]), positive control (Loperamide HCl), and treatment groups receiving Nigella sativa infusion at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 100%. Antidiarrheal activity was assessed using the intestinal protection method, with parameters including defecation frequency, stool consistency, diarrheal onset time, and diarrheal duration. Results Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins in Nigella sativa infusion. The infusion demonstrated significant antidiarrheal activity across all tested concentrations (25%–100%), with the 50% concentration showing the highest efficacy, comparable to Loperamide in reducing defecation frequency, improving stool consistency, delaying diarrheal onset, and shortening diarrheal duration. Conclusion Nigella sativa infusion at 50% concentration exhibits promising antidiarrheal potential and warrants further development as a herbal remedy.

Abstract

Background Enhancing stimulation efficiency in mice supports the application of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) for species conservation. Objective This study compared the stimulatory potential of two ART-supporting hormone protocols: the conventional PMSG-hCG combination and recombinant gonadotropins (rFSH-rhCG), a newer generation produced by genetic engineering. Methods Sixty-three female mice from four distinct estrous phases were used in this study. Both hormone regimens, with FSH- and LH-like activities, were administered sequentially between 4:00 and 5:00 pm, at a 47–48 h interval. Stimulation success was evaluated based on the proportion of females showing a positive response and the number of oocytes retrieved. Results The diestrus phase yielded the highest response for both treatments. Approximately 60% of the females responded to PMSG-hCG, and 80% responded to recombinant hormones. The number of oocytes recovered reached 239 in the PMSG-hCG group and 137 in the recombinant group. Interestingly, recombinant hormone administration during estrus induced ovulation of 400 oocytes; however, the efficiency ratio was lower than that during diestrus (30.8 vs 34.3). Conclusion Both PMSG-hCG and recombinant gonadotropins effectively stimulate ovulation. The diestrus phase provides the most consistent results; therefore, diestrus is recommended as the optimal stage for superovulation protocols in mice.
