Abstract

Advanced drug delivery systems are required due to the increasing advancement in science and technology, with a common example being microencapsulation. This system is affected by the manufacturing conditions and slow release of bioactive compounds inside microcapsule. In general, phytochemicals in the edible plant, Cosmos caudatus Kunth, specifically flavonoids, offer several health benefits but are susceptible to degradation which reduces biological activities. Therefore, this study aimed to encapsulate extract using spray drying method, which can be used as wall material in Gum Arabic. Microencapsulated product was also tested for biological activities. The effect of microcapsule production was investigated, including the concentration of wall material and the stirring speed. Furthermore, the optimal conditions of microcapsule were selected based on the highest encapsulation efficiency. The results showed that a concentration of 4% (w/v) Gum Arabic and a stirring speed of 800 rpm were the optimal conditions, leading to a percentage release of 71.87%. Microcapsule under these conditions produced an IC50 value of 55.09 ± 0.57 ug/mL as an inhibitor of alpha-amylase enzyme. The characterization by scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed spherical forms with a mean diameter of 152.00 um. The bioactive substance in microcapsule was released at pH 2.2 and pH 7.4 for 30 to 120 min, with a percentage release of 38.05% and 95.14%, respectively. In conclusion, this study confirmed that microencapsulation played a crucial role in the development of plant extract with retained biological functions.

Abstract

The reaction of nitropyridine derivatives and tributylphosphine (Bu3P) with the existence of nucleophilic solvent gives ring expansion product as diazepines in medium yield. Reaction mechanism subjected the formation of phenylnitrene, followed by intramolecular electrophilic insertion reaction to pyridine ring and subsequent ring enlargement. The intermediate in the reaction confirmed by computational calculation using B3LYP/6-31G* level. The intramolecular insertion reaction of pyridylnitrene is considered suppressed by the low HOMO (-9.932 eV) energy level of pyridine ring compared to that of benzene (-9.653 eV), hence 1,4-diazepine is obtained when employed 3-nitro-2,6-lutidine as starting material. The formation of diazepines was confirmed by the analysis of 1H NMR data. Separation of the product mixture using column chromatography on SiO2 was carried out and found to give expected diazepine along with the reduction product.

Abstract

Alpha-pinene is the main compound in turpentine oil and is widely used as a fragrance, fine chemistry, flavour, and antibacterial. Due to the presence of unsaturated double bonds in its structure, this compound’s chemical properties are relatively active. Hydrogenation is a common method for saturating compounds and nickel has shown good activity in this process as catalysts. However, it often shows reaction conditions such as high pressure. The research method added nickel chloride to a suspension mixture of NaBH4 in isopropyl alcohol until a black colloidal solution and a-pinene reagents were added. Hydrogen gas was added in different conditions, with a pressure of 2-4 atm at the temperature of 50-60 oC 24h. The result showed a nickel formed at a nanoparticle size of 34-81 nm. Furthermore, FT-IR results show a difference in intensity at wavelengths of 1600 and 3000 cm-1, indicating the formation of hydrogenation products. The GC-MS shows a new peak at a retentivity of 5.503, which characteristics show that it is identified as a pinane compound with the highest percentage of 63% at a reaction condition of 4 atm.

Abstract

Ruellia tuberosa L. leaf and root extracts have been investigated for their biological activity and potential health advantages, including their antidiabetic, antioxidant, and antidiuretic qualities. This research evaluates the freeze-drying microencapsulation of R. tuberosa L. extracts using gum Arabic, maltodextrin, and their combination as coating materials. The resulting microcapsules were tested for encapsulation efficiency, biological activity, and controlled release. Characterization techniques included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and particle size analysis (PSA). The choice of encapsulant significantly influenced encapsulation efficiency, morphology, and biological activity. Microcapsules using a combination of gum Arabic and maltodextrin exhibited more spherical shapes and smaller particle sizes than those using either material alone. Alpha-amylase inhibition tests showed that microcapsules effectively inhibit the enzyme, with the coating combination performing best, followed by gum Arabic and then maltodextrin. All microcapsules exhibit moderate antioxidant activity, again in the same order. The active compound release was greater at pH 7.4 compared to pH 2.2 from 0 to 120 min. Therefore, freeze-drying microencapsulation with biodegradable polymers is a viable method for delivering the health benefits of R. tuberosa L. extracts, yielding a convenient powder form suitable for drug delivery systems.

Abstract

Breast cancer's increasing prevalence globally underscores the urgent need for effective and gentle therapies, positioning the exploration of herbal remedies as a critical pursuit. Daruju (Acanthus ilicifolius L.) emerges as a compelling candidate due to its inherent bioactive components. This research pioneers the application of advanced computational techniques to unveil the latent anti-breast cancer potential within A. ilicifolius. Our in-silico investigation commenced by cataloging A. ilicifolius compounds using the KNApSAcK database and existing literature. These compounds underwent rigorous screening for drug-like characteristics via SWISS-ADME and potential biological activity using PASS ONLINE. Protein targets relevant to breast cancer were predicted through SWISS Target and the STRING database, integrated with Cytoscape for network visualization. Molecular docking, performed with PyRx 0.8, assessed the binding strength between the identified compounds and target proteins, with the most promising interactions selected for further scrutiny. The stability of these crucial interactions was then evaluated through molecular dynamics simulations using YASARA. This comprehensive computational strategy aims to pinpoint potential anti-breast cancer agents derived from A. ilicifolius. Initial analysis of 17 compounds from A. ilicifolius, based on chromatography, databases, and prior studies, narrowed down to five that adhered to Lipinski’s Rule of Five for drug-likeness: 4-O-beta-D-glucosyl-4-coumaric acid, (-)-lyoniresinol, α-amyrin, adenosine, and p-coumaric acid. These compounds were predicted to directly interact with key breast cancer-related proteins across pathways like estrogen signaling, JAK/STAT, and PI3K/AKT. Notably, molecular docking revealed strong binding affinities for α-amyrin with CDK4, ER, and EGFR (-7.5 kcal/mol, -9.5 kcal/mol, and -8.7 kcal/mol, respectively), comparable to known inhibitors. Molecular dynamics simulations further corroborated the stability of these complexes, analyzing RMSD and binding affinity parameters. Consequently, α-amyrin stands out as a promising anti-breast cancer agent within A. ilicifolius, exhibiting potential to inhibit proteins crucial for breast cancer cell proliferation and survival, including CDK4, ER, and EGFR.
