Abstract

DNA barcoding and mini-barcoding are widely used to study insect biodiversity, including ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). This study evaluated the effectiveness of both approaches for species identification and phylogenetic inference in ants, with particular attention to the performance of universal primers during PCR amplification. Full-length DNA barcode (658 bp) and mini-barcode (127 bp) regions of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene were retrieved from GenBank, aligned, and analysed with maximum-likelihood phylogenetics (1,000 bootstrap replicates) under the Tamura-Nei model. The universal DNA barcoding primers (Folmer's LCO1490 and HCO2198) showed generally good alignment with ant COI sequences. However, multiple nucleotide mismatches were observed in LCO1490, including one critical mismatch located within the GC clamp region. In contrast, the universal mini-barcoding primers (UniMinibarF1 and UniMinibarR1) showed critical mismatches at their 3′ ends, likely reducing PCR efficiency. Despite limitations associated with primer mismatches, both DNA barcoding and mini-barcoding are reliable for species identification. DNA barcoding and mini barcoding are both capable of distinguishing ants at the species level, regardless of the length of the sequences being compared. The same sequences have also been used for phylogenetic analysis, showing good ability to distinguish ant species based on phylogenetic tree reconstruction. The comparison of DNA barcoding and mini-barcoding in ants showed that longer sequences offered superior resolution for species identification and phylogenetic reconstruction. These findings underscore the need for primer optimisation in ant-specific applications and highlight the utility of both barcoding strategies for taxonomic and evolutionary studies.

Abstract

ntention towards natural essential oils from medicinal plants has increased rapidly over the past decade as these oils have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties against various chronic diseases. One essential oil source with antimicrobial properties is the essential oil from Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth. This review aims to provide information on using patchouli oil as an antimicrobial against bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens in the last five years. There were 37 articles found in the PUBMED database by June 15, 2023. After searching, 6 of them were duplicates. A total of 2 papers were inaccessible, 4 were not research articles, and five were excluded because they were irrelevant to the scope of this study. This review shows that research related to patchouli as an antimicrobial in the last five years involves Pogostemon cablin leaf samples as silver nanoparticle bioreductors. Patchouli oil is used in membrane, nanocomposite film, and starch hydrogel manufacturing. Patchouli oil is a prestigious antimicrobial agent because it can fight numerous pathogenic microbes from bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

Abstract

The increased interest in exploring alternative treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus is accompanied by a rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pineapple peel is one of the by-products of pineapple fruit and is known to possess potential for anti-diabetic activity. In this study, the n-hexane extract of pineapple peel was analyzed using network pharmacology methods to ascertain its potential in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. The GC-MS analysis of the n-hexane extract of pineapple peel revealed the presence of 42 compounds, with 8 of them considered safe as they met the Lipinski Rule of Five criteria for drug-likeness and were classified as safe with toxicity levels in classes IV and V. The pineapple peel extract targeted 55 proteins related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2), potentially affecting DMT2 through the AGE-RAGE pathway in diabetes complications and insulin resistance. Network pharmacology analysis identified five genes targeted by pineapple peel, namely MAPK1, JAK2, MAPK8, PRKCD, and PPARA. Among these genes, MAPK1 exhibited a higher overall score than the others. Apart from its role in diabetes, MAPK1 is also implicated in cancer.

Abstract

Blumea balsamifera from the Ie-Jue geothermal area in Aceh Province, Indonesia, has been reported to have a variety of secondary metabolites. However, there is limited information about the activity of these chemical metabolites from B. balsamifera. The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of these compounds using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Six selective compounds were thoroughly evaluated using molecular docking techniques for their inhibitory effects on both Coronavirus protease and human interleukin receptors. Additionally, druglikeness assessments based on the Lipinski rule of five were performed to evaluate these six ligands. Our results show that stigmasterol, a key component of B. balsamifera, has demonstrated low binding free energy values across four receptors. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the stability of the top ligand-receptor complex, particularly stigmasterol-1IRA, based on five parameters, indicating its stability as an inhibitor. This research highlights the potential of stigmasterol as a therapeutic agent derived from medicinal plants of B. balsamifera and underscores the value of our molecular approach in identifying opportunities for pharmaceutical development.

Abstract

Kualitas sperma merupakan salah satu parameter penting dalam menilai tingkat fertilitas pria. Salah satu faktor yang semakin diperhatikan dalam memengaruhi kualitas sperma adalah gangguan pola tidur yang dapat memengaruhi proses spermatogenesis melalui mekanisme seperti stres oksidatif, disregulasi hormonal, dan gangguan ritme sirkadian. Penggunaan Multiple Platform Method (MPM) pada tikus memungkinkan peneliti untuk menginduksi gangguan tidur secara terkontrol dan mengamati dampaknya terhadap kualitas sperma. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran gangguan pola tidur sleep deprivation terhadap kualitas sperma tikus dengan Multiple Platform Method. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif eksperimental menggunakan tikus (Rattus norvegicus) jantan strain Wistar yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan dengan gangguan pola tidur sleep deprivation menggunakan MPM. Sperma diambil dari kauda epididimis dan dianalisis menggunakan mikroskop cahaya untuk menilai motilitas, konsentrasi, dan morfologi berdasarkan pedoman pemeriksaan sperma WHO. Hasil penelitian ini terdapat Gangguan pola tidur sleep deprivation dengan Multiple Platform Method pada kelompok perlakuan menunjukkan penurunan motilitas progresif, konsentrasi, dan proporsi morfologi normal sperma tikus. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini yaitu gangguan pola tidur memberikan gambaran perubahan pada seluruh parameter kualitas sperma yang diperiksa, ditandai dengan penurunan motilitas, konsentrasi, dan morfologi normal
