Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of black garlic extract (Allium satium Linn) on the growth of candida albicans fungus, which is known as an opportunistic pathogen in humans, black garlic produced through the process of heating garlic contains active compounds such as allicin, saponins, flavonoids and tannins that have the potential as antifungals. The method used in this study is a narrative review based on articles published in the last 10 years. The results show that black garlic extract can inhibit the growth of C. Albicans with a significant inhibition zone diameter at certain concentrations. In addition, black garlic has higher antioxidant activity than fresh garlic, making it a safe and effective alternative in the treatment of fungal infections, especially in the context of increasing antifungal resistance. This study recommends the formulation of black garlic in the form of a gel preparation as a safer and more effective preparation for applications in pharmaceutical preparations.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and associated with various complications, including diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), which may lead to infection, gangrene, amputation, and even death. Natural-based topical therapies have potential to support DFU healing; however, the limited solubility and permeability of active compounds, particularly polar phytochemicals, often reduce their therapeutic effectiveness. Nanophytosomes, a phospholipid–phytoconstituent complex system, are considered capable of enhancing the stability and penetration of herbal compounds. This study aimed to design and develop nanophytosomes containing a combination of bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum) and binahong leaf extract (Anredera cordifolia), characterize the system, incorporate it into a gel formulation, and evaluate its wound-healing activity in a diabetic wound model. The study involved preparation of nanophytosomes from the combined extracts followed by characterization of particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and particle morphology. The nanophytosome system was then formulated into a gel and evaluated for physical quality parameters including pH, viscosity, spreadability, and stability. Wound-healing activity was assessed using a diabetic wound model in experimental animals by observing wound closure and histological parameters. The expected results include the formation of nanophytosomes with favorable physicochemical characteristics, a stable gel formulation, and improved diabetic wound healing compared with the control group. It is anticipated that the nanophytosome gel combining S. polyanthum and A. cordifolia extracts may serve as a promising innovative topical therapy for DFU.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and characterize a nanophytosome system containing combined extracts of bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) and binahong leaf (Anredera cordifolia), and to evaluate its wound healing activity through in vivo study. The extracts were prepared by maceration using 96% ethanol and characterized through phytochemical screening and LC-MS/MS analysis. Nanophytosomes were formulated using phospholipid complexes with variations of surfactants, followed by homogenization and sonication. The formulations were evaluated for particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency. The results showed that particle size ranged from 16.30 to 927.18 nm, with the smallest size observed in Tween 80-based formulation. The polydispersity index ranged from 0.20 to 0.86, indicating better homogeneity in Tween 80 systems. Zeta potential values ​​were in the range of −6 to −17 mV, suggesting moderate stability. Entrapment efficiency was high in all formulations (92.5–97.3%), with the highest value observed in Cremophor-based formulation. In vivo evaluation demonstrated that the nanophytosome significantly accelerated wound healing compared to control groups, as indicated by faster wound contraction and improved tissue regeneration. In conclusion, the nanophytosome system enhanced the physicochemical properties and delivery of bioactive compounds, showing potential as an effective therapeutic approach for wound healing.
