Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to pose a significant global health burden, highlighting the urgent need for safer and more effective therapeutic agents with minimal adverse effects. One promising strategy involves targeting α-glucosidase, a key enzyme in postprandial glucose regulation, using bioactive compounds derived from medicinal plants. Acalypha indica, a tropical species widely used in traditional medicine, contains diverse flavonoids with potential antidiabetic activity; however, their molecular mechanisms remain insufficiently explored. This study employed an in silico approach to systematically evaluate the α-glucosidase inhibitory potential of five flavonoids from A. indica—mauritanin, repandusinic acid, hesperetin, glucogalin, and acaindinin. Molecular docking analysis using AutoDock revealed that all compounds exhibited favorable binding affinities toward the α-glucosidase enzyme (PDB ID: 5NN8), indicating spontaneous interactions at the active site. Among them, mauritanin demonstrated the highest binding affinity (–10.3 kcal/mol), forming multiple stabilizing hydrogen bonds with critical catalytic residues, including ASP69, HIS279, and GLU411. Notably, both mauritanin and repandusinic acid showed stronger binding interactions compared to the standard inhibitor acarbose, suggesting superior inhibitory potential. Further interaction analysis using LigPlot+ and Discovery Studio Visualizer confirmed stable ligand–enzyme complex formation, while ADMET predictions using SwissADME indicated favorable pharmacokinetic properties, including good oral bioavailability, low toxicity risk, and absence of major cytochrome P450 inhibition. Overall, these findings identify mauritanin and repandusinic acid as promising lead compounds for α-glucosidase inhibition and support the therapeutic potential of A. indica as a natural source for antidiabetic drug development. This study provides a strong computational foundation for future experimental validation and drug design efforts.

Abstract

Aspergillus niger is one of the fungi that can produce citric acid and is often used in some studies because of its resistance to very low acidic conditions. Potato Dextrose Agar medium is a common medium for culturing fungi in the laboratory. Alternative media are media that use materials from nature whose content is not yet known in detail. Rubber cassava has a carbohydrate content of 98.4674%. The carbohydrate content of white sweet potato is 28.78%. Rice bran has a carbohydrate content of 84.36%. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of the growth diameter of Aspergillus niger fungi on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media and alternative media made from cassava, sweet potato, and rice bran. The research used a pure experimental method. Aspergillus niger isolates were observed microscopically, after which they were planted on PDA media and alternative media, incubated at 37°C for 72 hours, then the diameter of fungal growth was measured. The results showed that the alternative media that had the largest Aspergillus niger fungal growth diameter compared to PDA media as a control was alternative media from rice bran with the smallest diameter of 40 mm and the largest diameter of 80 mm.

Abstract

Burdock (Arctium lappa L.) is a medicinal plant that contains active compounds such as flavonoids, lignans, and phenolic acids, which act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and hepatoprotective substances. This study aimed to evaluate the blood biochemical profile following the administration of burdock root extract in white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The study was conducted experimentally using eight male and female rats, divided into four groups: a negative control group (aquadest) and three treatment groups receiving doses of 150, 300, and 450 mg/kgBB orally for 28 days. Blood biochemical parameters were examined on day 36, including albumin, total protein, globulin, glucose, urea, amylase, cholesterol, ALT, ALP, total bilirubin, creatinine, and creatine kinase. The results showed that most biochemical parameters remained within the normal range, although significant changes were observed in some groups. Urea, amylase, and total bilirubin levels remained stable, while total protein, globulin, and ALP levels tended to be higher in female rats. Elevated glucose, cholesterol, and ALT levels in most treatment groups indicated potential disturbances in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, while increased creatinine levels in some groups suggested possible nephrotoxic effects. Administration of burdock root extract influenced the biochemical blood profile, particularly related to glucose and lipid metabolism as well as liver function. Further studies are needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and evaluate the long-term safety of burdock root extract.

Abstract

Exposure to cigarette smoke is known to trigger oxidative stress and trigger an inflammatory response in lung tissue. Lung organs are highly susceptible to damage due to continuous exposure to pollutants, especially free radicals. This condition has the potential to cause pathological changes in the structure of lung cells. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in histological changes in rat lungs between the group not exposed to conventional cigarette smoke (control group) and the group exposed to cigarette smoke accompanied by the administration of burdock root extract, ethanol solvent, methanol, and vitamin E. Exposure was carried out 7 times for 14 days, using one cigarette for each treatment session. The results of the observation showed that all the groups that received exposure had lung tissue damage. Based on the average histopathological score, the rate of lung damage was grouped as follows: K1 (negative control) of 4.6; K2 (positive control) of 7; P1 (treatment with ethanol) of 5.6; P2 (treatment with methanol) of 8.6; and P3 (treatment with vitamin E) by 6.6. The group with the highest level of damage was P2 (methanol) which fell into the severe damage category, while the lowest level of damage was found in P1 (ethanol), which fell into the light category.

Abstract

Pemeriksaan mikroskopis Basil Tahan Asam (BTA) merupakan metode yang tetap digunakan dalam pemantauan pengobatan tuberkulosis (TBC) di fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan yang belum memiliki akses ke Tes Cepat Molekuler (TCM). Kualitas pemeriksaan sangat dipengaruhi oleh mutu pembuatan dan pembacaan sediaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kualitas sediaan mikroskopis TBC di Kabupaten Cilacap tahun 2024 berdasarkan enam indikator standar, serta menilai akurasi pembacaan melalui uji silang sebagai bagian dari Pemantapan Mutu Eksternal (PME). Penelitian menggunakan desain deskriptif evaluatif menggunakan pendekatan evaluasi program secara retrospektif. Data uji silang triwulan I–IV dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil menunjukkan tingkat partisipasi yang tinggi (91,67–97,92%), peningkatan kualitas spesimen, serta akurasi pembacaan yang sangat tinggi (99,23–100% tanpa kesalahan besar). Namun, indikator ketebalan, ukuran, dan kerataan masih belum optimal pada sebagian fasilitas. Kesimpulannya, mutu pembuatan dan pembacaan sediaan mikroskopis TBC di Kabupaten Cilacap telah memenuhi standar nasional, namun masih diperlukan peningkatan kompetensi teknis dan penguatan pembinaan serta pemantapan mutu untuk menjaga konsistensi hasil pemeriksaan.
