Abstract

Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. or Sembung is a flowering plant belonging to the genus Blumea of the family Asteraceae. Many pharmacological activities of this plant show potential in human therapy. In this study, an investigation was conducted on the ethanolic extract of B. balsamifera collected from a geothermal area known as Ie-Jue, in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of B. balsamifera contained secondary metabolites of flavonoids and tannins. Chemical constituents of ethanolic extracts B. balsamifera further analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) show that active compounds from this plant was Proximadiol (C15H28O2) with relative area 41.76%. This research underscores the compelling potential of the Ie-Jue geothermal area as a promising reservoir of flora owing to the plant's adaptability to geothermal extremities.

Abstract

The issue of kidney health has emerged as a global public health concern. Kidneys play a vital role in eliminating toxic substances and maintaining fluid and chemical balance in the body. Preserving kidney health is tantamount to safeguarding overall bodily health, as kidney damage can adversely affect other organs and organ systems. This can give rise to various ailments and compromise one’s physical condition. Throughout ancient history, plants have been employed for medicinal purposes in treating a wide array of ailments with one such plant being tea (Camellia sinensis L). Tea is renowned for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It contains bioactive compounds, notably polyphenols, which contribute to enhancing health. Polyphenols serve as therapeutic agents for the kidneys and can prevent the onset of other degenerative disease. Prior research has demonstrated that EGCG, a derivative of polyphenols, can safeguard the kidneys against ischemia-reperfusion injury, kidney fibrosis, and inflammation. Catechins, a subcategory of polyphenols, act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and anti-apoptotic agents, thereby shielding kidney cells.

Abstract

Uncovering the therapeutic potential of secondary metabolites produced by plants, animals, and microbes constitutes the foundation for the development of novel medications. The objective of this investigation is to discern the classes of secondary metabolites and assess the antibacterial properties of endophytic fungal extracts obtained from Chrysanthemum indicum L. flowers. Through the isolation process, five isolates designated as JEC1, JEC2, JEC3, JEC4, and JEC5 were identified. The cultivation of endophytic fungal isolates spanned a three-week period before undergoing extraction with ethyl acetate. The phytochemical tests revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, and tannins in the ethyl acetate extract. Antibacterial activity was determined using the agar well diffusion method, with ciprofloxacin serving as a positive control. Notably, all ethyl acetate extracts from endophytic fungi exhibited antibacterial activity. The most substantial inhibitory diameter against Staphylococcus aureus was recorded as 19.1±0.8 mm for the JEC3 endophytic fungi, while Escherichia coli exhibited an inhibitory diameter of 16±1.1 mm for the JEC2 endophytic fungi.

Abstract

Prostate cancer remains one of the most prevalent malignancies in men worldwide, while current therapeutic strategies are often associated with adverse effects and the emergence of drug resistance, highlighting the need for safer and more effective alternatives. This study aimed to elucidate the multitarget molecular mechanisms of bioactive compounds derived from Moringa oleifera leaves against prostate cancer using an integrated in silico network pharmacology approach. A total of 137 bioactive compounds were collected from LC–MS/MS profiling data and phytochemical databases, of which 20 compounds with high predicted biological activity were prioritized based on Way2Drug PASS analysis. Potential protein targets were predicted and intersected with prostate cancer–associated genes to identify shared targets. Protein–protein interaction network analysis revealed 536 overlapping targets, with ten hub proteins, ESR1, AKT1, SRC, EGFR, TP53, HSP90AA1, PIK3CA, HSP90AB1, PIK3R1, and MAPK1, identified as central nodes. Pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated that these targets were predominantly involved in cancer-related signaling pathways, including pathways associated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance. Pharmacokinetic and toxicity assessments indicated that several compounds, such as isorhamnetin, kaempferol, tocopherol, and afzelin, exhibited favorable drug-likeness properties and low predicted toxicity. Overall, these findings suggest that bioactive compounds from Moringa oleifera leaves exert anticancer effects through a multitarget and multi pathway mode of action rather than single-protein modulation. This study provides systematic insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti–prostate cancer potential of Moringa oleifera leaves and supports their relevance as candidates for further experimental validation and drug development.
