Abstract

Background: Acne is a chronic skin inflammation caused by blockage of the sebaceous glands in the skin and hypercolonization of the acne-causing bacteria Propionibacterium acnes. Cocor bebek leaves (Kalanchoe pinnata) are known to contain various secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, with antibacterial activity. Objective: In an effort to prevent side effects from using oral and topical antibiotics to treat acne, an alternative acne treatment that is safer and more effective with a strong drug delivery system is needed: microneedle patch technology containing natural ingredients. Methods: A microneedle patch formulation of Cocor bebek leaf extract was developed using a combination of HPMC and PVP polymers. The evaluation of microneedle patches included irritation tests with rat test animals and antibacterial activity tests against Propionibacterium acnes. The results showed the formation of yellow microneedle patches with uniform needles. The evaluation results showed that the microneedle patch has an irritation index value classified as non-irritant and has antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes, with the highest inhibitory diameter at an extract concentration of 30% with a moderate inhibition category. Conclusion: The microneedle patch cocor bebek leaf extract shows potential as an effective drug delivery system for the treatment of acne that is safe for use on the skin.

Abstract

Demam tifoid merupakan penyakit yang sering terjadi di Indonesia, disebabkan oleh bakteri Salmonella typhi yang menyebar melalui jalur fecal-oral. Prevalensi demam tifoid di Indonesia mencapai 1,60%, dengan prevalensi tertinggi pada anak-anak berusia 5 hingga 14 tahun karena kebiasaan jajan sembarangandan kurangnya perhatian terhadap kebersihan diri . Pengobatan demam tifoid melibatkan pemberian antibiotik yang tepat dan perawatan suportif. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisisefektivitas antibiotik dalam mengurangi durasi terapidemam tifoid, dengan fokus pada antibiotik seperticeftriaxone, cefotaxime, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, kloramfenikol, dan tiamfenikol. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian initermasuk dalam jenis penelitian systematics literature review. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ceftriaxone lebih efektif dari pada kloramfenikol dalam mengatasi demam tifoid, dan kombinasi antibiotik seperti tiamfenikol dan ceftriaxone dapat mengurangi lama rawat inap. Azitromisin juga efektif untuk kasus tanpa komplikasi. Penggunaanantibiotik yang tepat penting untuk mengurangi case fatality rate. Terapi kombinasi dapat memperluas spektrumaktivitas antimikroba dan mencegah resistensi. Studi ini memberikan wawasan tentang pengobatan demam tifoiddengan antibiotik yang efektif, seperti ceftriaxone, azithromycin, dan kombinasi antibiotik tertentu. Pentingnya edukasi tentang kebersihan pribadi dan lingkungan juga disorot untuk mencegah penyebaran infeksi lebih lanjut. Dengan pemahaman yang lebih baiktentang efektivitas antibiotik dalam pengobatan demam tifoid, diharapkan dapat meningkatkan penanganan kasusdemam tifoid dan mengurangi dampak negatifnya.Kata kunci: Demam tifoid, Lama pengobatan, Terapi antibiotik, Efikasi obat, dan Efektivitas perbandingan

Abstract

Breast cancer is a type of cancer with a high prevalence rate, especially in women, which contributes significantly to the global death rate from cancer. This disease is characterized by abnormal cell growth that attacks body tissues and is often difficult to treat due to the limitations of effective treatment and minimal side effects. Although treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy are available, significant side effects, including impaired patients' quality of life, remain a major challenge. Therefore, a new approach is needed to find drug candidates with high efficacy and lower side effects.  This study aims to compare the activity of chemical compounds that have the potential to be used as a breast cancer drug using the in silico method. The method involves computer simulations to evaluate molecular interactions with cancer receptors, such as ER-α and HER-2, as well as verify their pharmacokinetic feasibility through compliance with Lipinski's rules. This review literature draws on eight relevant recent studies, showing that some compounds have significant activity against cancer receptors and meet pharmacokinetic criteria for oral administration. The results of the analysis revealed that Longipinocarvone compounds had the best affinity for ER-α receptors (-8.20 kcal/mol), while Galagin showed the best affinity for HER-2 (-7.79 kcal/mol). Both also meet Lipinski's rule, indicating the potential to be developed into an oral drug. This in silico simulation provides efficient and cost-effective initial insight into the drug discovery process. The study concluded that both compounds have the potential to be promising breast cancer drug candidates, although further validation through in vitro and in vivo trials is needed to support these results.
