Abstract

Seiring dengan kemajuan teknologi, semakin banyak sediaan farmasi yang dikembangkan. Ini termasuk inhaler, pen insulin, suppositoria, obat mata, telinga, dan lain-lain.  Tetes mata (oculoguttae), salep mata (oculenta), pencuci mata (colyria), dan bentuk lain dari obat mata dikenal sebagai optalmika. Penggunaan obat dengan alat khusus ini dapat menimbulkan efek samping dan hal yang tidak diiinginkan jika tidak digunakan secara benar. Hal ini disebabkan kurangnya informasi tentang penggunaan obat, cara penyimpanan dan lama penyimpanan obat pada masyarakat di Desa Kolam. Penyuluhan mengenai penggunaan obat dengan alat khusus ini untuk mencegah terjadinya efek samping atau hal yang tidak diinginkan. Kegiatan pengabdian dilakukan di Dusun I Desa Kolam, masyarakat dilibatkan dalam kegiatan yang dibantu oleh Kader Posyandu Kamboja dan pihak terkait lainnya.  Penyuluhan ini menggunakan ceramah, diskusi, dan pemutaran video. Selain itu, untuk mengetahui seberapa puas masyarakat dengan materi yang disampaikan, dan kuesioner. Pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan tim diharapkan dapat memberikan pemahaman yang baik kepada masyarakat, serta cara penggunaan obat dengan alat khusus secara tepat dan benar. Informasi akan pentingnya penggunaan obat, cara penyimpanan obat dan lama penyimpanan obat setelah kemasan dibuka. Hal ini akan berhubungan dengan efek terapi yang diharapkan serta untuk mencegah terjadinya efek samping obat.

Abstract

Free radicals induce oxidative stress, which plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of various degenerative diseases. Abelmoschus manihot L., locally known as green gedi, is recognized for its rich secondary metabolite content with potential antioxidant properties. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the hydroalcoholic extract of green gedi leaves using the Cupric Ion Reducing Antioxidant Capacity (CUPRAC) method. Extraction was conducted via maceration using a 90% hydroalcoholic solvent, followed by comprehensive phytochemical screening and simplicia characterization. The antioxidant capacity was quantified by determining the IC50 value through linear regression analysis of inhibition percentage versus concentration. Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, and triterpenoids/steroids. The hydroalcoholic extract exhibited "very strong" antioxidant activity, yielding an IC50 value of 41.65 ± 0.30 µg/mL. Although this potency was slightly lower than the pure quercetin standard, it demonstrates a significant capacity for free radical neutralization. These findings underscore the potential of Abelmoschus manihot L. as a robust natural antioxidant source, supporting its further development into phytopharmaceuticals or functional health supplements for the prevention of oxidative stress-related conditions.

Abstract

Carrageenan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii), possesses a high water-holding capacity and has been widely investigated for its potential application as a skin moisturizing agent. This study aimed to formulate isolated carrageenan into a topical cream and to evaluate its physicochemical characteristics and moisturizing efficacy. Carrageenan was isolated through sequential soaking, decantation, extraction, isolation, drying, and milling processes. The isolated material was characterized in terms of solubility, viscosity, loss on drying, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Cream formulations containing carrageenan at concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% (w/w) were prepared and compared with a 2% glycerin cream and a blank control. Physical quality evaluations included homogeneity, pH, emulsion type, stability testing for 12 weeks, skin irritation assessment, and in vivo moisturizing activity in 18 human volunteers. The isolated carrageenan complied with the requirements of USP XXX. All carrageenan-based creams exhibited acceptable homogeneity, skin-compatible pH, and satisfactory physical stability throughout the storage period. No signs of skin irritation were observed. Moisturizing efficacy increased proportionally with carrageenan concentration, with the 2.5% carrageenan cream demonstrating a moisturizing effect comparable to that of the 2% glycerin formulation. These findings support the potential of carrageenan derived from Kappaphycus alvarezii as an effective natural moisturizing agent in topical cream formulations.
