Abstract

Nowadays cosmetics are an important commodity and the market for halal cosmetics is seeing growth. Cosmetics that contain porcine-derived ingredients are typically the source of halal problems. Gelatin and collagen are porcine derivatives that are extensively used in cosmetics. Hence, verifying the presence of porcine derivatives in cosmetics by developing analytical methods is critical. Despite this urgency, determining porcine-derived components in cosmetics is challenging, since cosmetics are quite complex with variable matrix forms. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, there are only a few papers on developing porcine derivatives analysis in cosmetic items. This mini-review objective is to depict the current understanding of determining porcine collagen and gelatin in cosmetic matrixes. The findings revealed that the LC-MS/MS method is superior for determining gelatin and collagen sources in complex matrixes due to its sensitivity and accuracy. PCR and ELISA methods have challenges with the marker degradation problem since the derivatives undergo extensive processing conditions, thus lowering the methods’ specificity and sensitivity, especially in complex matrixes. The SDS-PAGE method applications are limited and the method is suitable for a relatively simple matrix. This review highlights findings that support future advancements in cosmetic analysis for halal authentication.

Abstract

Valsartan, Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class II drug, exhibits pH-dependent solubility in the gastrointestinal tract, which increases at pH levels above 5. Its low solubility results in a bioavailability of only 23%, necessitating efforts to enhance it. This study aims to improve the solubility of valsartan using a solid dispersion system. Polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate 64 (PVP VA 64), a hydrophilic polymer, was incorporated to inhibit the recrystallization of valsartan, while poloxamer 188 and poloxamer 407, used as surfactants, aimed to enhance valsartan’s solubility and intrinsic dissolution rate. Valsartan solid dispersions were prepared using the spray drying method, and the optimal formulation was determined using the Simplex Lattice Design (SLD). The composition of PVP VA 64, poloxamer 188, and poloxamer 407 were optimized factors, while saturated solubility, melting point, and intrinsic dissolution rate at pH 1.2 and 4.5 as optimized responses. The valsartan solid dispersions were characterized using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Powder X-Ray Diffractometry (PXRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The optimal composition of the valsartan solid dispersion was 40 mg of valsartan, 100 mg of PVP VA 64, 10 mg of poloxamer 188, and 30 mg of poloxamer 407. The results indicated that the solubility of valsartan solid dispersion was 27 times higher than that of the pure drug. Furthermore, the intrinsic dissolution rate of the valsartan solid dispersion at pH 1.2 and 4.5 exceeded that of pure valsartan.

Abstract

Obesity has a 15-fold higher risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetes mellitus. Microalga isone of the natural resources that potentially treat obesity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the total phenolic contents (TPC), antioxidant, and anti-obesity properties of ethanolic extract of microalgae strain MRB-2. The TPC was determined using the Follin-Ciocalteu method. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, and the anti-obesity was analyzed using an anti-lipase pancreatic assay. The morphology of microalga cells was also determined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that the TPC of ethanolic extract from the ultrasound extraction method was higher than the maceration method with the value of 2.75±0.26 mg GAE/g. While the scavenging activity toward DPPH radicals of ethanolic extract from the maceration method was higher than ultrasound, with a value of 38.92±1.94% at 0.8 mg/mL. The lipase inhibitory activity of extract from the maceration method was higher than ultrasound with a value of 20.81±2.24% at 0.38 mg/mL. Our results indicate that ethanolic extract of MRB-2 was potentially developed for anti-obesity foods and health-functional foods derived from new peatland microalgae.

Abstract

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are powerful therapeutic agents known for their high specificity and effectiveness in treating complex diseases. Yet, one of their major challenges is their tendency to aggregate, which can reduce treatment efficacy and even trigger unwanted immune responses. This review focuses on how pharmaceutical excipients can help prevent antibody aggregation, particularly during the drug administration process, a phase often overlooked. We conducted a systematic literature search using Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, targeting studies on excipients and aggregation in therapeutic proteins. After applying the selection criteria, six original research articles were analyzed. The findings reveal that several excipients—such as L-arginine, polysorbates, trehalose derivatives, proline analogs, and cyclodextrins—can effectively stabilize mAbs. They work by reducing interfacial stress, minimizing protein–protein interactions, and preserving antibody structure during stress conditions like infusion or inhalation. These insights highlight the importance of choosing the right excipient based on the administration route to ensure antibody stability and therapeutic impact. By shifting the focus from formulation to administration, this review provides a practical perspective that can support the development of safer and more effective mAb therapies.

Abstract

Goat’s milk proteins can undergo hydrolysis during digestion, producing peptides that may inhibit α-amylase and help treat type 2 diabetes with minimal side effects. Identifying the amino acid composition of these peptides is essential for determining their inhibitory potential. Recent in silico digestion methods have been developed to generate specific peptides. This study aims to identify α-amylase inhibitory peptides from goat’s milk casein hydrolyzate using in silico digestion, followed by peptide synthesis and activity assay. Peptides were derived from goat’s milk casein hydrolyzed using in silico digestion. Molecular docking was employed to predict protein-peptide interactions utilizing the HADDOCK2.4 server, CABS-dock, and PepSite 2 server. Peptides EDVPSER and TNAIPYVR could inhibit α-amylase with IC50 values of 14.16 ± 0.65 and 76.58 ± 2.13 µM, respectively. In vitro evaluation confirmed that EDVPSER from αS1-casein exhibited α-amylase inhibitory potential. This peptide could be developed as a potential therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetes, offering a natural and targeted approach to α-amylase inhibition. Peptide EDVPSER may serve as a basis for further research and development of antidiabetic treatments derived from goat’s milk proteins.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by cognitive decline resulting from decreased acetylcholine (ACh) levels due to excessive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Current therapies, such as galantamine, have several side effects. Bioactive peptides derived from marine Echinozoa (sea urchins and sea cucumbers) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents owing to their structural diversity and diverse bioactivities. Previous studies identified peptides from sea cucumbers and sea urchins collected along the southern coast of Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta (VLCAGDLR, SWIGLK, MNGKKITVRPR, and KTKDLK), which exhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity. However, the therapeutic use of these peptides is challenged by blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration and stability issues. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify candidate peptides through in silico analysis and to evaluate their stability in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) as potential AChE inhibitors.METHODS: Molecular docking was conducted to evaluate peptide binding affinity to the active site. The best candidate peptides were synthesized and tested in vitro for AChE inhibition using a colorimetric method. Stability was assessed in PBS by monitoring aggregation through turbidity and Congo Red assays.RESULTS: The sea cucumber peptide SWIGLK showed strong binding affinity (–10.2 kcal/mol) and 12.11% inhibition at 0.19 mM, while the sea urchin peptide KTKDLK exhibited –8.2 kcal/mol and 11.50% inhibition at 0.19 mM. Both peptides remained stable in PBS without aggregation for up to 48 h.CONCLUSION: SWIGLK and KTKDLK demonstrate the most significant AChE inhibitory activity and maintained structural stability, hence supporting their potential as peptide-based candidates for Alzheimer’s therapy.KEYWORDS: Alzheimer, AChE inhibitor, holothuroidea, echinoidea, bioactive peptide, peptide stability

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

ABSTRACT. Chrysanthemum indicum flower is known as a Chinese medicinal plant and is consumed as a tea or food supplement. Several research reported the profiling metabolites of this flower using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (LC-MS). However, there is a limitation of those methods, which are the yields several formula obtained by searching in database based on parent masses so give less effectiveness identify of compound. This study aimed to identify the metabolites in the ethanolic extract of C. indicum using a de-replication strategy by coupling Liquid Chromatography Orbitrap HRMS with a molecular network approach. This study also evaluated the total phenolic contents (TPC) using Folin-Ciocalteu method, Fourier Transfer Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, while the scavenging activity against DPPH radical method was used to determine the antioxidant activity and the inhibition of α-glucosidase was conducted using α-glucosidase assay. The studies showed that there were diverse families of metabolites were putatively identified in C. indicum such as flavonoids and derivates, amino acids, fatty acids and derivates, phenol and derivates, terpenoids, and glucose. The detailed metabolites in extract were approached using application of molecular networking. In agreement with the molecular networking, the extract exerted strong antioxidant activity with % inhibition value of 76.20±1.35 at 100 µg/mL. Whereas, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity showed good activity with % inhibition value of 83.04±0.52 at 50 µg/mL. The results of this study provide a new metabolite library for C. indicum ethanol extract as well as the confirmation of some of its biological activities.
