Abstract

Background: Serum is a preparation with a high concentration of active ingredients and low viscosity, which delivers a thin film of active ingredients to the skin surface. The use of Fibraurea tinctoria has been carried out since ancient times by the Dayak, Banjar, and Kutai tribes as a traditional treatment for liver disease, diabetes, and to increase the body's immunity from various causes of disease such as bacteria. Fibraurea tinctoria is believed to be able to ward off the negative effects caused by free radicals such as antioxidants.Methods: This experimental study investigated the antioxidant activity of Fibraurea tinctoria extract serum with varying concentrations of hydroxyethyl cellulose 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% using the DPPH methods, which is simple, easy, fast, and sensitive, and requires a small sample. This method provides information on the reactivity of the tested compound with a stable radical. Evaluations of the Fibraurea tinctoria extract serum preparation was carried out by observing the results of physical quality tests, including organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, pH tests, adhesion tests, and spreadability tests. The serum preparation was tested for 3 days and stored at room temperature. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing it with the Indonesian National Standard.Results: The results showed that the serum extract preparations of Fibraurea tinctoria F1st, F2nd, and F3rd showed varying IC₅₀ values, where lower values ​​indicated stronger antioxidant potential. Formulation F3rd showed the lowest IC₅₀ value (3.11 ppm), F2nd (3.74 ppm) and F1st (4.67 ppm), all of which were stronger than the base (5.11 ppm).Conclusion: In this research, formulations F1st, F2nd, and F3rd had the highest antioxidant activity, with F3rd at a concentration of 2.0%. The identified strong antioxidant activity is the main basis for the potential of Fibraurea tinctoria extract serum as an active antioxidant ingredient.

Abstract

Background: MDA-MB-231 is a breast cancer cell line derived from metastatic adenocarcinoma and classified as a triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype. This breast cancer subtype is highly aggressive, has a high recurrence rate, and offers limited treatment options due to the absence of estrogen, progesterone, and HER-2 receptor expression. Therefore, the development of advanced therapeutic strategies is urgently needed to inhibit the metastasis of TNBC cancer cells. This study aimed to investigate the potential of the methanol extract of Vernonia amygdalina leaves as a natural chemotherapeutic agent for metastatic breast cancer therapy, with a focus on inducing cell death through apoptosis mechanisms. Methods: This study is an experimental research that began with the collection and identification of raw materials, followed by the preparation of simplicia, extraction processes, and phytochemical screening. Subsequently, cytotoxicity testing was conducted using the MTT assay, cell cycle analysis was performed using the PI-staining assay, and apoptosis was assessed using the Annexin V/PI-staining assay, all of which were analyzed through flow cytometry.Results: The methanol extract of Vernonia amygdalina demonstrated a moderate cytotoxic effect with an IC₅₀ value of 109.36 µg/mL. The extract induced S-phase cell cycle arrest in a dose-dependent manner, indicating its ability to reduce cell viability by inhibiting DNA replication. In the apoptosis assay, the highest percentage of cell death (3.12%) was observed at the concentration of 54.5 µg/mL, suggesting that this dose produced the strongest apoptotic response among the treatments tested. Conclusion: The methanol extract of Vernonia amygdalina leaves shows potential as a natural chemotherapeutic agent for metastatic breast cancer. The extract can induce cancer cell death through apoptosis, indicating its promise for further development as a supportive anticancer therapy.
