Abstract

Stelechocarpus burahol (Kepel) is widely distributed in Indonesia, where its fruit has traditionally been consumed and used as a natural body fragrance from ancient times to the present. In recent decades, this species has attracted growing interest in the health sector due to its rich content of bioactive compounds. However, the natural population of S. burahol has declined over time and is currently regarded as a conservation species. This article presents an overview of the therapeutic potential of S. burahol and highlights in vitro cultivation strategies aimed at optimizing the production of bioactive metabolites. The review is based on an extensive analysis of scientific journals, conference proceedings, theses, and reference books, using keywords such as S. burahol, Kepel, bioactive compounds, and in vitro culture. Available evidence indicates that S. burahol represents a promising target for bioprospecting in the health sector, particularly due to its reported anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, anti-acne, antidiabetic, antihyperuricemic, and anti-implantation activities. Furthermore, in vitro cultivation approaches offer a viable alternative to conventional field cultivation, which remains limited, for the enhanced production of bioactive compounds from this species.

Abstract

Oxidative stress constitutes a major pathophysiological mechanism in conditions ranging from exercise-induced muscle fatigue to chronic organ damage including diabetic nephropathy and ischemic stroke. Medicinal plants offer therapeutic potential through bioactive compounds that modulate cellular defense pathways. This systematic review evaluated the molecular mechanisms and clinical efficacy of medicinal plants (Kaempferia galanga, Nigella sativa, Panax ginseng, and other herbal formulations) in managing oxidative stress across diverse health contexts. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using reputable databases. Studies measuring oxidative stress biomarkers (MDA, SOD) and cellular signaling pathways (Nrf2, NF-κB, PI3K/AKT) were included. Results showed that N. sativa and K. galanga supplementation in athletes significantly reduced MDA levels and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6), accelerating post-exercise recovery. Bioactive compounds including Ginsenoside Ro and Kaempferide demonstrated organ-protective effects through Nrf2/HO-1 activation, autophagy promotion, and mitochondrial protection in ocular and renal tissues. These findings indicate that medicinal plants exert cytoprotective effects by activating endogenous antioxidant systems. The therapeutic spectrum spanning athletic performance enhancement to chronic organ protection underscores the translational potential of herbal interventions as promising antioxidant agents.
