Abstract

Research on the bioactivity of Antarctic organisms has garnered significant attention due to the continent's unique environmental conditions and the potential therapeutic value of its inhabitants. This study delves into the bioactivity of Pagodroma nivea, commonly known as the Snow Petrel, found in Antarctica, aiming to explore its medicinal potential. Despite previous research highlighting the bioactivity of various organisms in extreme environments, specific investigations into Pagodroma nivea remain scarce. Farmacoantarctic Research offers a promising avenue for exploring the therapeutic properties of Antarctic organisms, including Pagodroma nivea, traditionally used for medicinal purposes by local communities. Understanding the biochemical adaptations of organisms to Antarctica's extreme conditions is crucial, as these adaptations may yield bioactive compounds with pharmacological potential. The research not only seeks to uncover the bioactivity of Pagodroma nivea but also aims to contribute to drug development and environmental conservation efforts. In a parallel discussion, the study examines Mumijo, a traditional remedy found in various regions, including Antarctica. Chemical analysis of Mumijo extract, particularly the ester wax fraction, reveals its potential biomedical applications, including wound healing, skin diseases, and neuroprotection. The presence of glycerol-related ethers in Antarctic Mumijo suggests further avenues for exploration in neuroprotection and antimicrobial properties. By investigating the bioactivity of Antarctic organisms like Pagodroma nivea and Mumijo, this research offers insights into their therapeutic potential and underscores the importance of conservation efforts to preserve these unique ecosystems.

Abstract

Botanical studies form a cornerstone in pharmacy, providing insights into the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants. Acalypha indica L., commonly known as "Anting-anting," holds a significant place in traditional medicine. This research focuses on the macroscopic and microscopic analysis of Acalypha indica L. simplisia, aiming to contribute to its pharmacognostic profile and enhance the standardization of herbal formulations. The exploration encompasses its historical context, traditional uses, chemical constituents, and in vitro anti-arthritis activity. The study employs advanced tools, including optical and electron microscopes, for a comprehensive examination. The macroscopic analysis involves meticulous observation of external features, while the microscopic examination delves into cellular and tissue structures. This research aligns with contemporary pharmacognosy, bridging traditional knowledge with scientific approaches, fostering a deeper understanding of medicinal plant potential
