Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a degenerative condition due to increased blood uric acid levels from purine metabolism, often occurring in the elderly. Avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill.) contain flavonoids with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can inhibit xanthine oxidation. This study evaluated the effectiveness of its extract in reducing uric acid levels in potassium bromate-induced male mice. Mice were divided into six groups: negative control (Na CMC 0.5%), positive control (allopurinol 10 mg/kg BW), three treatment groups (avocado seed extract 120, 150, and 180 mg/kg BW), and normal group. Uric acid levels were measured for seven days using one-way ANOVA test and BNT test LSD method. The results showed that doses of 120-180 mg/kg BW effectively reduced uric acid levels, with the optimal dose of 150 mg/kg BW reducing hyperuricemia by 37.3% (p = 0.118).

Abstract

Diabetic ulcers, a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus, result from long-term uncontrolled blood sugar levels and are characterised by infection-prone foot wounds. Staphylococcus aureus is often found as the bacteria that cause infection in these wounds. Antibiotic resistance has become a serious challenge in medicine, so alternatives such as orange peel (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) were investigated for their metabolite content with antibacterial potential. This study was designed experimentally with a Posttest Only Control Group Design approach. Orange peels were processed through sorting, drying, extraction using 96% ethanol, and fractionation with ethyl acetate. Antibacterial activity test was conducted by disc method against Staphylococcus aureus, using ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction. DMSO and mupirocin were used as negative and positive controls, with concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 75%. The results showed that the ethanol extract had antibacterial activity, with a concentration of 75% producing the largest inhibition zone (13.56 mm), including the medium category. However, the ethyl acetate fraction did not show antibacterial activity at all concentrations, presumably due to the low levels of extractable semipolar metabolites. Environmental factors such as UV light, humidity, and high temperature during drying are also thought to affect metabolite levels. It was concluded that ethanol extract of orange peel was more effective than ethyl acetate fraction in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus.
