Abstract

Antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections are caused by the opportunistic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The purpose of this study is to use the disc diffusion method to assess the antibacterial efficacy of Tetanus (Leea aequata L.) leaf ethanol extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antibacterial activity was evaluated at 25%, 50%, and 75% concentrations after the leaves were extracted by maceration with 96% ethanol. The findings indicated that the antibacterial activity was depending on concentration, with respective minimum inhibition level measuring 12.97 mm, 16.7 mm, and 21.06 mm. The negative control (DMSO) displayed no inhibition zone, but the positive control (gentamicin) displayed KHM measuring 25.03 mm. The data distribution did not differ significantly, according to statistical analysis (p > 0.05). Bioactive substances that can harm bacterial cell structures, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins, were thought to be responsible for this antibacterial action. According to these results, tetanus leaf extract may be used as a natural antibacterial agent and as a substitute for antibiotics in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections

Abstract

Degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, stroke, and cancer, are increasingly common in modern society, with free radicals as one of the main causes. Both natural and artificial sources of antioxidants are available. However, natural antioxidants are a better choice due to concerns over the negative effects of synthetic antioxidants. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract from titanus (leea aequata L.) leaves using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. titanus leaves are known to contain secondary metabolites that have potential as antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenols. This type of research is an experimental method. The extraction process was carried out by maceration method using 96% ethanol, followed by fractionation using solvents with different polarities to obtain ethyl acetate fraction. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction showed the ability as a free radical antidote with an IC50 value of 11.309 ppm, which indicates significant antioxidant activity. These results indicate that titanus leaf extract has the potential to be used as a source of natural antioxidants in the prevention of degenerative diseases.

Abstract

Free radicals play an important role in oxidative stress, which can lead to a number of degenerative diseases, including heart disease, cancer and premature aging. Natural and artificial ingredients can be used to make antioxidants. The use of synthetic antioxidants is starting to be limited because excessive use can cause negative side effects, such as the accumulation of toxins in the body. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity of tetanus (Leea aequata L.) leaf extract using DPPH method. Free radicals generated during metabolism can cause cell damage and contribute to various degenerative diseases. Therefore, it is important to find effective sources of antioxidants. In this study, Tetanus leaves were extracted using 96% ethanol solvent through maceration method. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring the IC50 value against DPPH radical. The results showed that tetanus leaf extract had an IC50 value of 39.484 ppm, which indicated significant antioxidant activity. These results indicate that tetanus leaf extract can function as a free radical scavenging agent, which could potentially serve as a raw material in the development of herbal medicine to prevent oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract

The degenerative disease of memory that most attacks the frontal lobe is Alzheimer's. Therapy for Alzheimer's is mostly done by targeting an increase in the amount of acetylcholinesterase in the synapse cleft by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative study of vitexifolin E compounds from the vitexium plant family with donepezil to obtain more precise and targeted drug candidates in Alzheimer's therapy. The results showed that donepezil compounds have a more active probability (0.53) of being carcinogenic compared to vitexifolin E with the web-based application Protox II. Tests with in silico studies found that the hydrogen bonding results of vitexifolin E had values close to those of donepezil drugs, as well as RMSD results with receptors between donepezil and vitexifolin E (1,781; 1,281) and free energy obtained (-6.9; -7.8). Based on these results, it can be concluded that vitexifolin E compounds can have good enough potential to be developed in implementing the treatment of Alzheimer's disease therapy.

Abstract

Indonesia is renowned for its rich natural resources, particularly medicinal plants with significant therapeutic potential. This study examined how the ethanolic extract of curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) can act as an antioxidant and antibacterial agent against Propionibacterium acnes, the primary cause of acne vulgaris. This study used phytochemical screening to identify secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and glycosides, which are associated with biological activities such as killing bacteria and protecting cells from damage. The DPPH method for testing antioxidants showed that the extract had an IC50 value of 45.88 mg/L, which is not significantly different from quercetin as a reference, at 23.7 mg/L. This result is still significant for the strong antioxidant category. We assessed antibacterial efficiency using a disc diffusion technique, which showed a zone of inhibition corresponding to the extract concentration. The widest zone of inhibition, measuring 17.77 ± 0.15 mm, was recorded at a concentration of 250 mg/mL, classifying its activity as strong by existing standards. These findings underscore the extract's promise as a natural acne therapy, addressing bacterial growth and oxidative stress. Furthermore, these results support the development of safe and efficacious pharmaceutical or cosmetic products derived from natural components. Future investigations should examine synergistic formulations and enhance bioavailability to optimize therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract

One plant that has been shown to aid wound healing is turmeric. Turmeric has been scientifically proven to have choleretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric contains curcumin, which has antibacterial and antioxidant qualities that can accelerate the migration and re-epithelialization of cells useful in wound healing, including myofibroblasts, fibroblasts, and macrophages. This study aimed to determine the effect of turmeric mother extract gel on wound healing in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus). This study was conducted using experimental tests. Turmeric extract was prepared using 96% ethanol solvent with a maceration process. A 2 cm long incision wound was made on the back of white rats. The test animals were then divided into five groups to receive different treatments. Groups 3, 4, and 5 received turmeric mother extract gel with concentrations of 1%, 5%, and 10%, while Group 1 was negative control and Group 2 was positive control. The results showed that the incision wounds in male white rats could heal faster - on average, about 7.10 days - when treated with 96% ethanol extract of turmeric mother with doses of 1%, 5%, and 10%. This study concludes that a 10% turmeric mother extract gel is the best method to accelerate wound healing.

Abstract

Antibacterials are substances that can interfere with the growth or even kill bacteria and have the side effect of antibacterial resistance. One effort to reduce resistance is choosing to use natural bacterial ingredients. One plant that can potentially contain antibacterial activity is malacca leaves (Phyllanthus emblica). The contents of this plant include flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and steroids/triterpenoids. This research aimed to prove the antibacterial activity test of malacca leaf extract. The stages in this research included phytochemical screening and testing the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract from Malacca leaves for Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria using the diffusion method using paper discs. The characteristics of malacca leaf simplicia obtained were water content of 4.6%, water-soluble content of 28%, ethanol-soluble essence content of 23.33%, total ash content of 2.00%, and insoluble ash content of 0.5%. The results of phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, glycosides, and steroids/triterpenoids. The antibacterial test results of malacca leaf extract at concentrations of 500 mg/ml, 400 mg/ml, 300 mg/ml, and 200 mg/ml have an antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and there is no difference in the effectiveness of the inhibitor against gram-positive and negative grams.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a formulation of mango fruit juice (Mangifera indica L.) as a moisturizing agent in the form of hand cream. The main component of mango, sucrose, has the ability to attract moisture from the air due to its hydroxyl groups, which helps reduce water evaporation from the skin. Mango juice was obtained by blending the mango pulp using a juicer, followed by the addition of 0.1% sodium metabisulfite as an antioxidant. The extract was then concentrated using a freeze-drying technique at -40°C and 2 atm pressure. The cream formulation developed was an oil-in-water (m/a) emulsion type, with mango fruit juice concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%. These were compared to cream containing 2% glycerin and a blank formulation. Various tests were conducted to evaluate the physical quality of the cream, including homogeneity, pH, stability, emulsion type, and irritation tests using a moisture-checker. The results showed that mango fruit juice was successfully formulated into a homogeneous m/a cream, with a pH ranging from 5.55 to 7.04, and remained stable for up to 12 weeks of storage. The cream formulated with mango juice was proven to increase skin moisture without causing irritation. The higher the concentration of mango fruit juice, the greater the moisturizing effect. The 2.5% concentration provided a moisturizing effect comparable to cream containing 2% glycerin. The best moisturizing effect was achieved at a 10% concentration, which increased skin moisture by up to 14.4% after 4 weeks of use. This mango juice is effectively used in m/a type creams as a skin moisturizer. Keyword: Mango fruit juice, cream, skin moisturizer
