Abstract

Water is an important part of the body. As much as 50-60% of an adult's body weight consists of water. Water functions in the body include as a means of transporting substances, regulating body temperature, regulating body pH, forming body structures, solvents for the body's chemical reactions, and helping the body's mechanical functions, such as lubrication (Insel et al. 2004; Asamadi 2008). In the event of water deficiency, the body will become dehydrated which able to cause cell death to individual death (Stanfield and Hui 2008). Recently, there are alkaline pH drinking water products that are commercially popular that have pH around 8-10 (alkaline water). Some parties claim that alkaline water can help neutralize the level of acidity (pH) of blood due to free radicals, while also having micro cluster technology that can increase oxygen solubility. According to Shirahata et al. (2012) alkaline water is beneficial for health because it can suppress oxidative stress.This study aims to know the effect of alkaline pH drinking water reviewed through histopathological studies of the digestive organs of mice (stomach, intestine, and pancreatic exocrine glands).

Abstract

Inclusion complex is a complex formed between drug molecules which act as guest or located inside the cavity of host molecule. Host molecules are commonly originated from the derivative group of cyclodextrin. Among cyclodextrin groups, beta cyclodextrin (BCD) is mostly used in formula development and drug delivery system [1].Andrographolide (AG) is a pure isolate chemically syntesized from sambiloto herbs (Andrographis paniculata Nees), in the form of needle cystal-like which is colorless and extremely bitter. AG has variety of medical properties, particularly as anti-inflamation to treat skin burns [2]. However AG has poor solubility in water. This will result in low abillity to solute, penetrate membrane, and distribute the drug when applied transdermally in burn skin. In burn skin, there is tendency to skin damage, especially in stratum corneum which acts as semipermeable barrier. The ability of drugs that applied transdermally tends to be high.Formation of inclusion complex using AG and BCD to increase the ability of AG in penetrating membrane should be done. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is a fast technique to confirm the formation of drug or inclusion complex by  comparing the shape and particle size [3]. Study on percutaneous penetration of AG-BCD inclusion complex is produced through solvent evaporation method at mole ration 1:2 in viscolam gel preparation.
