Abstract

Paracetamol is a widely used analgesic–antipyretic drug; however, it exhibits poor flowability and compactibility, requiring suitable excipients in tablet formulation. This study aimed to formulate paracetamol tablets using porang tuber starch (Amorphophallus muelleri) as a filler and to evaluate the effect of its concentration on the physical properties of granules and tablets. Tablets were prepared by the wet granulation method using three concentrations of porang tuber starch: 10 mg (F1), 15 mg (F2), and 20 mg (F3). Granule evaluation showed moisture content ranging from 2.1–3.4%, flow time of 4.8–6.2 seconds, angle of repose of 25.6–30.4°, and compressibility index of 11.2–15.6%, indicating good flow and compressibility properties. Tablet evaluation demonstrated acceptable weight uniformity with deviations < 5%, hardness values of 5.1–7.8 kg, friability of 0.32–0.78%, and disintegration times of 3.4–6.8 minutes. The formulation containing 20 mg of porang tuber starch (F3) exhibited the most optimal characteristics, with the highest tablet hardness (7.8 kg) and the lowest friability (0.32%), while maintaining disintegration time within pharmacopeial limits. Therefore, porang tuber starch shows strong potential as a natural filler in paracetamol tablet formulations.

Abstract

Antioxidants play an important role in warding off free radicals that can cause oxidative stress and various degenerative diseases. One potential source of natural antioxidants is red ginger leaves ( Zingiber officinale var. rubrum ). This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of red ginger leaves using the DPPH method. Extraction was carried out using ethanol solvent, then the antioxidant activity was tested at various concentrations of 20, 30, 40, and 50 ppm. The parameters observed included absorbance value, inhibition percentage, and IC ₅₀ value . The results showed that the inhibition percentage increased with increasing extract concentration. The IC₅₀ value obtained was 45.50 ppm , indicating that the ethanol extract of red ginger leaves has very strong antioxidant activity. Based on these results, it can be concluded that red ginger leaves have the potential as a source of natural antioxidants that can be developed in the fields of health and functional foods.

Abstract

Breadfruit leaves (Artocarpus altilis L.) area plant with various health benefits due to their natural chemical compounds, one of which acts as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are compounds that can halt the oxidation process by donating electrons, there by protecting normal cells, fats, and proteins from damage caused by free radicals. The concentration of an antioxidant that causes a 50% reduction in DPPH activity is referred to as the IC50.  The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of ethanol extract from breadfruit leaves in combating oxidation using the DPPH method. The results showed an IC50 value of 6.66 ppm for the extract, indicating very strong antioxidant activity, although it was more effective compared to vitamin C, which served as a positive control with an IC50 value of 1.15 ppm. This difference in effectiveness is influenced by the amount of phenolic compounds present and the potential pro-oxidant effects at higher concentrations. In summary, breadfruit leaves have high potential as asource of natural antioxidants and can be used to develop pharmaceutical products to treat degenerative diseases.
