Abstract

Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the progression of various degenerative diseases through increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), driven in spart by the activity of redox related enzymes such as NADPH:FMN oxidoreductase. Bioactive compounds from jackfruit leaves are known to possess antioxidant potential, yet their molecular mechanisms against specific enzymatic targets remain insufficiently elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the potential interaction of jackfruit leaf flavonoids morin, oxyresveratrol, and artocarpin with NADPH:FMN oxidoreductase using molecular docking analysis. The 1BKJ protein structure was prepared following standard protocols, and all ligands were optimized prior to performing redocking for method validation. AutoDock Vina 1.2.7 was employed with a 20×20×20 Å grid box area. Redocking produced an RMSD of 0.1469 Å, confirming the reliability of the docking parameters. Docking results revealed that morin (–7.848 kcal/mol) and oxyresveratrol (–7.577 kcal/mol) exhibited stronger binding affinities compared with vitamin C (–5.713 kcal/mol) and artocarpin (–5.577 kcal/mol). The dominant interactions involved Arg15, Arg169, Tyr128, Tyr199, and Tyr200, residues that contribute to the stabilization of ligand protein complexes in silico and may be located near functionally relevant regions associated with redox activity. These findings suggest that jackfruit leaf flavonoids may serve as promising candidates for further investigation as potential modulators of redox related enzymes based on predictive in silico evidence.

Abstract

Preserving dental and oral hygiene is essential to maintain the overall function of the oral cavity. Essential oil extracted from Pontianak orange peel shows potential as a safe and effective component for oral healthcare when incorporated into a mouthwash formulation. This research was conducted to evaluate the potential of Pontianak orange peel essential oil as an antibacterial mouthwash effective against Streptococcus mutans. The study was conducted by formulating mouthwash preparations using different concentrations of Pontianak orange peel essential oil: 3%, 4%, and 5%, followed by evaluation of physical properties including organoleptic characteristics, homogenity, pH level, sedimentation, specific gravity, and viscosity. The antibacterial properties were tested using  the disc diffusion method.The physical evaluation results showed that the mouthwash had a sweet taste, green color, a citrus peel aroma with a hint of mint; it was homogeneous, with no sedimentation; had a pH value ranging from 5.13 ± 0.02 to 5.25 ± 0.02; specific gravity ranging from 0.9968 ± 0.06 to 1.0424 ± 0.00 g/ml; and viscosity ranging from 1.717 ± 0.02 to 1.920 ± 0.01mPa.s. All formulations met the physical property requirements of a good mouthwash to ensure comfort during use. The largest inhibition zone was observed at the highest essential oil concentration (5%), with a diameter of 8.04 ± 1.05 mm, which falls under the category of moderate antibacterial activity. This study indicates that a mouthwash containing 5% Pontianak orange peel essential oil is effective in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans.
