Abstract

The increasing global incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) emphasizes the need for effective treatments, particularly for the elderly. Conventional OA treatments pose administration challenges, leading to patient discomfort due to difficulties in administration. Herbal formulations offer an alternative to mitigate these issues. Kaempferia galanga (KG) contains ethyl p-methoxycinnamate, a compound displaying anti-inflammatory properties that hold promise for OA treatment. This study explores the formulation of a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SNEDDS) of Kaempferia galanga extract (KGE) and evaluates its anti inflammatory efficacy, subsequently developing it into a fast disintegrating tablet (FDT) dosage form. Initially, a liquid SNEDDS (L-SNEDDS) was prepared with varying surfactant and co surfactant concentrations. The optimal formula of L-SNEDDS (FL2) using tween 80: cremophor RH 40: PEG 400 in a ratio of 1:1:2 demonstrated favorable characteristics, including transmittance of 86.93 ± 1.16%, emulsification time of 28 ± 2.65 s, particle size of 27.79 ± 2.00 nm, PDI of 0.21 ± 0.014, and zeta potential of -12.57 mV. FL2 was solidified using aerosil 200 to produce S-SNEDDS and tested for anti-inflammatory efficacy in vivo using a carrageenan induced rat model. Results showed enhanced anti-inflammatory efficacy of KGE via S-SNEDDS, marked by reduced edema volume. Afterward, FDT S-SNEDDS were prepared using the direct compression method by comparing different types of superdisintegrants. The formulation using the combination of crospovidone and croscarmellose sodium (FT2) demonstrated excellent flow properties, tablet disintegration time of 63 s, wetting time of 34.01 ± 7.87 s, friability of 0.19%, and hardness of 3.53 ± 6.16 kg/cm2. The dissolution test indicated a better dissolution profile for FT2 compared to other formulations. In conclusion, this research presents the potential of FDT S-SNEDDS as a promising drug delivery system for enhancing the therapeutic effects of Kaempferia galanga extract in treating inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis.

Abstract

The COVID-19 vaccine is one of the most important approaches for preventing SARS-CoV-2 virus transmission and spread. Oral vaccines are a promising option for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection because it can activate both the mucosal and cellular immune systems. Previous research has shown that administering oral and intranasal vaccines can induce an immune response in mice. The effectiveness of the SARS-CoV-2 oral vaccine was evaluated in this study by combining spike protein with a carrier of food-grade recombinant Lactococcus lactis bacteria and a retinoic acid adjuvant. Mice were divided into three groups: a negative control (no treatment), a positive control (L. lactis recombinant), and a third group (L. lactis recombinant plus 300 μg retinoic acid). The vaccines were given three times, with a three-week interval between each. The serum levels of IgG, IgA, and IgE were determined using the ELISA method at the end of the study. CD4 and CD8 cellswere detected using immunofluorescence. While not statistically significant, the results showed that the retinoic acid groups had the highest anti-spike antibody levels of the three groups. In comparison to the control group, CD4 and CD8 cells increased in the spleens of mice given retinoic acid. There was no difference in temperature or IgE levels between vaccinated and non-vaccinated mice, indicating that the vaccine caused no allergic reaction. This study’s findings suggest that retinoic acid adjuvant can stimulate the cellular and humoral immune system.

Abstract

Ultraviolet-B (UVB)-induced photoaging accelerates collagen degradation, disrupts dermal structure, and compromises epidermal integrity. Natural extracts, such as Andrographis paniculata, Syzygium aromaticum, and Pogostemon cablin demonstrated antioxidant and anti-aging properties to mitigate these damages. This study investigated the protective effects of serum and moisturizer containing A. paniculata extract, S. aromaticum oil, and P. cablin oil on UVB-induced photoaging rats, by integrating network pharmacology and in vivo experiment. Compounds and photoaging-associated targets were retrieved through online databases. Enrichment analyses were performed using Metascape. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) construction and herbs-compounds-targets-pathways disease network were performed using STRING and Cytoscape 3.10.0, respectively, followed by molecular docking. An in vivo study was conducted to evaluate epidermal thickness, collagen density, and dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ) structure. Eleven key phytoconstituents and twelve core targets were identified in anti-photoaging molecular mechanisms using network pharmacology. Molecular docking analysis revealed that 7-O-methylwogonin demonstrated favorable binding against ten photoaging-associated targets. KEGG enrichment analysis showed potential inflammation processes inhibition, including photocarcinogenesis, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, and TNF-α expression. Furthermore, treatment with serum, moisturizer, or combination of both significantly reduced epidermal thickening and enhanced collagen density compared to the UVB-exposed only group. Although no significant difference was observed in DEJ interdigitation index across groups, treated groups exhibited a trend towards better preservation of DEJ structure relative to the UVB group. In summary, serum and moisturizer containing A. paniculata, S. aromaticum, and P. cablin extracts demonstrated potential anti-photoaging effects by reducing epidermal thickness and preserving collagen density in UVB-exposed rats. These findings support these botanical-based formulations potential as effective anti-aging skincare.
