Abstract

Propionibacterium acnes is a bacteria which causes acne. This bacteria is hypothesized to be inhibited by Staphylococcus epidermidis. Prebiotics have been shown to enhance the number of S. epidermidis and decrease the growth of P. acnes. The prebiotic action of starch and pectin from diverse plant sources is known in the skin microbiome. The prebiotic activity of Ambon banana peel starch and pectin on skin microbiota has not been researched. This study aims to investigate the prebiotic activity of starch and pectin from Ambon banana peels on skin microbiota, represented by S.epidermidis and P.acnes. The results showed that starch, and pectin have a prebiotic activity because they promoted the growth of S. epidermidis while suppressing the growth of P. acnes. P. acnes inhibitor percentages were 1.62% for starch and 65.07% for pectin. Negative inhibition values were -184.95% for starch and -5.80% for pectin suggesting an increase in S. epidermidis proliferation.

Abstract

Purple sweet potatoes are recognized for their prebiotic properties including againts Lactobacillus casei and L. bulgaricus bacteria. This prebiotic effect is due to the high starch content in purple sweet potatoes. The amylose content in starch which is difficult to digest in gastointestinal tract, functions as a prebiotic. To enhance the prebiotic effect of purple sweet potato starch, modification into resistant starch can be performed. Resistant starch exhibits a higher prebiotic effect compared to regular starch because it cannot be broken down by digestive enzymes, allowing it to reach the large intestine in significant amounts. Additionally, the prebiotic effect can be further enhanced by creating mucoadhesive granule formulations that increase the contact time of a substance on the mucosa of the digestive tract. This study aims to evaluate the prebiotic effect of resistant starch from purple sweet potatoes and to develop its mucoadhesive granule formulation. The resistant starch from purple sweet potatoes was prepared using the heat moisture treatment method. The prebiotic activity of resistant starch was tested against Lactobacillus acidophilus and Escherichia coli. The granule formulation was prepared by varying the concentration of polymers used, namely a combination of HPMC and carbopol as mucoadhesive polymers. The results showed that resistant starch from purple sweet potatoes had a prebiotic index of 0.930. The granule formulation F3 with an HPMC and Carbopol polymer ratio of 1:2 was identified as a good mucoadhesive granule formulation. It met pharmaceutical evaluation with a mucoadhesive percentage value of 40%.

Abstract

Background: The incidence and mortality of cancer are rapidly growing worldwide. Modification on drug delivery systems based on nanotechnology was applied to improve the effectiveness and safety of treatment. Nanoencapsulation, a part of nanotechnology, was known can be involved in cytotoxic agents. Objective: This research was conducted to determine the type of polymers for nanoencapsulation of cytotoxic agents and analyze the effect of nanoencapsulation on the cytotoxic activity. Methods: The study was performed by systematic literature review using selected articles from reputable databases that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The results show that many cytotoxic agents have been developed in nanocapsules systems due to their low water solubility, chemical instability, and low bioavailability. The nanoencapsulation process was carried out using synthetic or natural polymers such as polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), PEGylated PLGA, polycaprolactone (PCL), chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate, chitosan-sodium alginate, heparin-poly(l-lysine), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Those polymers are widely used for nanoencapsulation related to their biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic, and providing the desired coating properties. The nanoencapsulation on cytotoxic agents significantly increases the in vitro cytotoxicity, marked by the decrease of IC50 value in the range 1.4-15.4 folds compared to pure drugs. The increase in cytotoxicity could be caused by particle size reduction, modification of particle surface properties, and enhancement of drug stability. Conclusion: It can be concluded that nanoencapsulation can be applied for cytotoxic agents to increase their activity using the appropriate coating polymer.

Abstract

Diabetic foot infection (DFI) is a common complication of diabetes, most frequently caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Green tea contains antibacterial compounds and may serve as a potential supportive therapy for DFI. This study aimed to develop a spray gel formulation containing green tea ethanol extract and evaluate its antibacterial activity against S. aureus. The extract was obtained using 96% ethanol through the reflux method and subsequently tested for antibacterial activity using the agar well diffusion method. The extract was incorporated into a spray gel formulation with Viscolam MAC 10 as the gelling agent. The resulting spray gels were evaluated for their physical properties and antibacterial activity. Green tea extract demonstrated antibacterial activity against S. aureus with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.1%. Furthermore, the ethanol extract was successfully formulated into a spray gel using 5% Viscolam MAC 10, meeting quality requirements in terms of organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, spray pattern, spray weight, drying time, and adhesion time. Formulations containing 0.75% and 1% GTE exhibited potent antibacterial activity against S. aureus. In conclusion, a green tea–based spray gel formulation with good physical characteristics and potent antibacterial activity has been successfully developed.

Abstract

Despite its inherently high aqueous solubility, caffeine demonstrates inconsistent oral bioavailability due to formulation and processing-related limitations. This study aimed to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of caffeine by formulating solid dispersions using polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 (PVP K-30) via the solvent evaporation method. Solid dispersions were prepared at drug-to-polymer ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1, and characterized using hot-stage microscopy (HSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis. Solubility and dissolution testing were conducted in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). The results showed that the 1:2 ratio formulation yielded the most significant improvement, with solubility reaching 22.3 mg/mL and a dissolution rate of 97.6% within 30 minutes, representing a substantial enhancement compared to pure caffeine. FTIR and DSC indicated the presence of hydrogen bonding and the absence of caffeine melting peak, while PXRD confirmed amorphization. These findings suggest that solid dispersion with PVP K-30 is a viable strategy for overcoming the bioavailability challenges of caffeine and similar compounds, warranting further investigation into in vivo performance and long-term stability.
