Abstract

Background: Papua has high biodiversity with significant potential as a source of traditional medicinal plants, including Nelambo suon (Rubiaceae), which has been empirically used by local communities. However, scientific information regarding the active compounds in its stem bark remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to identify the secondary metabolite groups present in the ethanol extract of Nelambo suon stem bark through phytochemical screening. Methods: The research was conducted experimentally using the maceration method with 80% ethanol as the solvent. The stem bark simplicia was extracted and qualitatively screened for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins using specific reagents. Results: The results showed that the ethanol extract of Nelambo suon stem bark contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, indicated by characteristic color changes, precipitate formation, and foam production. Conclusion: These findings suggest that Nelambo suon stem bark is a potential source of bioactive compounds and may be further developed as a herbal medicinal material based on local wisdom.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia and has been linked to immune dysregulation, including increased pro-inflammatory TNF-α and reduced anti-inflammatory IL-4 activity. Nutrient-dense polyherbal supplementation may provide a complementary strategy to support nutritional status and immune function. This experimental study investigated the nutritional composition and immunomodulatory activity of polyherbal honey (PHH) formulated with curcuma xanthorrhiza, black cumin seeds, and honey. Vitamins, minerals, and bioactive constituents were characterized using laboratory assays. The immunomodulatory effects of PHH were subsequently evaluated in HTB-183 cells by measuring IL-4 and TNF-α expression after exposure to different formulation concentrations. The analysis confirmed the presence of vitamins A, C, and E; calcium and potassium; and several bioactive compounds in the PHH formulation. PHH exposure increased IL-4 expression and reduced TNF-α expression relative to untreated cells, although the magnitude of these responses varied across concentrations. These findings demonstrate that PHH contains nutritional and phytochemical constituents with potential immunomodulatory activity. Further preclinical and clinical investigations are required to determine its efficacy and safety as complementary nutritional support for children with stunting.

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) requires individualized pharmacotherapy because reproductive and metabolic manifestations vary among patients. This study evaluated the associations of age, documented menstrual complaints, and pregnancy-related presentations with medication-count category among patients with PCOS at Kencana Clinic, Sorong City. A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 118 eligible records selected by computer-generated simple random sampling from 412 records dated January 2022-December 2023. Associations were analyzed using the chi-square test and expressed as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Patients aged >25 years were more likely to receive >2 medications than those aged ≤25 years (40/73 vs 16/45; OR = 2.197; 95% CI = 1.022-4.721; p = 0.042). Menstrual complaints and pregnancy-related presentations were not significantly associated with medication-count category (p = 0.297 for each comparison). Older age was associated with greater medication-count complexity, but did not establish causality. Treatment planning should integrate age with metabolic status, comorbidities, and reproductive goals.
