Abstract

Inflammaging is a systemic inflammation caused by the aging process without any infection from the outside and it is a very high factor affecting the morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Pterostilbene contained in blueberries can prevent inflammation and oxidation. However, pterostilben has low water solubility and stability, so that to improve stability and acceptability is by making Pterostilbene Transfersome. Transfersome consisted of phospholipid in the form of phosphatidylcholine as a forming component of vesicles, surfactants as Edge activators, which increased transfersome’s flexibility. The composition of lecithin as phospholipid and surfactant was variable that effecting the optimization of Transferome. This study aimed to determine the effect of the ratio between soy lecithin as phospholipid and sodium cholate as surfactants to particle size. Comparison used was soybean lecithin 94%: 6% sodium cholate (F1); 95% soybeans: 5% sodium cholate (F2); and soybean 96%: 4% sodium cholate (F3). The prepared formulations were characterized for organleptic, pH, particle size analysis and potential zeta analysis. The characterized were statistically analyzed with SPSS One-way ANOVA followed by Post Hoc Turkey, and Paired T-Test. Transfersom had whitish-yellow color with clarity were cloudy and soya-flavored, the particle size were <400nm with pdi <0.5 and zeta potential values> -30 mV. Based on the results, optimum transfersome formulation was  95% soybeans: 5% cholic acid (F2).

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease associated with articular and systemic effects. This disease affects synovial joints covered by a special tissue called synovium. Curcumin has a potent antioxidant, antiinflammatory agent, antiangiogenic and anticarcinogenic. Curcumin can downregulate the expression of various proinflammatory cytokines and is reported beneficial effects in arthritis, but has a poor solubility dan bioavailability as well. The purpose of this research was to study the potential of liposomes topikal curcumin in reducing athritis score, reducing the expression of TNF-α and histopathological synovium hyperplasia of hind paw on Wistar rats with CFA that had been treated with topical curcumin. In this study, rats were divided into 7 groups: positive control, negative control, rheumatoid arthritis with topical curcumin therapy of 90 mg/kg BW, rheumatoid arthritis with topical curcumin therapy of 110 mg/kg BW, rheumatoid arthritis with topical curcumin therapy of 200 mg/kg BW, rheumatoid arthritis with methotrexate therapy, rheumatoid arthritis with placebo therapy. Results from this experiment indicated that topical curcumin has no significant to the arthritis score, significantly effect to percentase expression of TNF-α (p<0.05) and could decrease synovium hyperplasia based on histophatology examination. It could be concluded that therapy of topical curcumin could decrease the expression of TNF- α and synovium hyperplasia in rheumatoid arthritis rat.

Abstract

Radiasin sinar UV yang berlebih dapat menyebabkan kerusakan kulit hingga melanoma, khususnya sinar UVB. Efek kronis dari paparan sinar UVB yang berlebih dapat menginduksi mutasi gen, karena langsung menyebabkan kerusakan pada DNA seluler dengan memproduksi ROS di epidermis, dermis dan sel epitelium kulit. Penggunaan tabir surya sangat diperlukan untuk mencegah terjadinya hal tersebut. Tabir surya yang mengandung antioksidan sangat direkomendasikan untuk menangkal radikal bebas dari sinar UVB. Pterostilben merupakan salah satu senyawa fenolik, yang memiliki aktivitas farmokologi antioksidan dan UV filter menjadi salah satu senyawa yang direkomendasikan untuk komponen tabir surya. Untuk meningkatkan efek farmakologi pterostilben pada penggunaan topikal, pterostilben perlu diformulasikan sistem penghantaran. Niosom merupakan vesikel surfaktan non ionik menjadi salah satu sistem pembawa amfifilik yang dapat  membawa bahan aktif bersifat hidrofobik seperti pterostilben, diharapkan mampu meningkatkan efek farmakologi dengan meningkatkan penetrasi pterostilben ke kulit. Pembuatan niosom pterostilben menggunakan surfakan non ionik (span 80 dan span 60) dengan metode hidrasi lapis tipis. Tujuan dari pengembangan formulasi niosom pterostilben adalah untuk melihat pengaruh konsentrasi surfaktan non ionik (span 80 dan span 60), yaitu 2, 4, dan 6 g terhadap ukuran partikel yang dihasilkan dan menentukan formulasi optimum. Hasil uji karakteristik ukuran partikel niosom pterostilben dianalisis statistik menggunakan One-Way ANOVA dengan p<0,05. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ukuran niosom pterostilben semakin kecil dengan peningkatan konsentrasi span 60. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, didapatkan formulasi optimum niosom pterostilben yaitu pada penggunaan span 60 dengan konsentrasi 6 g.

Abstract

Current anti-breast cancer drugs have limited efficacy and often cause severe side effects, highlighting the need for bioactive agents that could overcome these limitations. Curcumin, a phenolic compound from Curcuma domestica, has antineoplastic activity but has low solubility in physiological media, while moringa oil is a key component of the oil-phase nanocarrier and also possesses anticancer properties. The aim of this study was to develop a moringa oil-based nanocarrier system containing curcumin and to analyze its anticancer effects on MDA-MB-231 cell lines, focusing on the underlying mechanisms involving B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) proteins. Additionally, the study investigated the side effects of the nanocarrier system following acute administration in animals. The anticancer effects were evaluated in vitro using MDA-MB-231 cell lines, while the acute toxicity assessment was conducted in healthy female Wistar rats. The nanocarrier system was formulated using moringa oil, Cremophor RH40, and PEG 400. Its cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 cells was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay. DNA fragmentation, apoptosis, and the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins were analyzed via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays, flow cytometry, and western blotting. Acute toxicity was further evaluated in female Wistar rats. The results demonstrated that the moringa oil-based nanocarrier system containing curcumin inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells. Curcumin suppressed tumorigenesis by modulating Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression. Our data indicated that the combination of curcumin and moringa oil in a nanocarrier system had greater anticancer potential than either component alone. Moreover, administration of the nanocarrier system did not result in any clinically significant changes in body weight, behavior, or organ weight indicative of toxicological effects. No treatment-related histopathological abnormalities were observed at terminal necropsy. In conclusion, this novel combination of curcumin and moringa in nanocarrier system has better anticancer potential; nevertheless, further studies are needed to confirm this in cancer animal models.
