Abstract

Creatine monohydrate has been developed as a neuroprotective agent and can penetrate in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier. However, its delivery is hampered by its limited capacity of creatine transporter. The floating system is known to increase the residence time of drugs in the stomach; thus, the active substances can be absorbed more optimally. Therefore, this study is aimed to develop creatine monohydrate floating tablets by optimizing the proportion of HPMC K100M and NaHCO2 and evaluating the quality of floating tablets. The formula was designed Simplex Lattice Design method. Tablets were prepared by the wet granulation method and evaluated for granule and tablet parameters. The results showed that HPMC K100M significantly increased flow time, absorption rate, hardness, floating time, swelling index; decreased index tap, fragility, and floating lag time. Meanwhile, an increase in NaHCO2 significantly affects an increase in floating lag time. The optimum formula obtained was 18.87% HPMC K100M and 21.12% NaHCO2. Verification of the optimum formula showed that tablet parameters were not significantly different from the predicted formula. The studies suggest that this prototype can be developed to increase creatine residence time in the stomach.

Abstract

Antiobesity with a lipase inhibitor mechanism will block the hydrolysis of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol, while antioxidant compounds are very useful in conditions of obesity to prevent excess damage from degenerative diseases. Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb extract has been proven to have the effect of inhibiting pancreatic lipase so further effects will be seen at the fraction level. The purpose of this research is to investigate the phytochemical components ,antioxidant activity and pancreatic lipase inhibition of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb fractions. Ethanolic extract of the Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb rhizome was separated using the solid-liquid chromatography with 3 different solvents (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol) to give n-hexane (HF), ethyl acetate (EAF), and ethanol (EF), and the insoluble (IF) fractions. Each fraction detected phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids/steroids. EF has the highest total flavonoid and phenolic content. Antioxidant activity of all fractions were measured using DPPH reduction, ABTS, and FRAP methods. The best antioxidant activity of all fractions using the DPPH method was EF with IC50 21.93 ± 3.39µg/mL, ABTS method was HF with IC50 24.56±1,03 µg/mL and FRAP method was IF with IC50 20.79±1,03 µg/mL. Totals of phenolics and flavonoids in EF strongly support the antioxidant activity of the DPPH method. The highest inhibition of pancreatic lipase was found in EAF at 35.16±0.24 % (100 µg/ml). There was significant difference between EAF and xenical (orlistat) (p
