Abstract

This study aims to determine the side effects of porang flour solution added with Aluminum Sulfate on AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) as an indicator of liver function in Wistar rats. This research was conducted in a laboratory with a completely randomized design with 3 replications. Treatment of porang flour solution was added with Aluminum Sulfate 3% (w/v) then added 3 g of porang flour. The rats before treatment were induced by gastric ulcers of rats with 12.5% acetic acid for 3 days. Treatment of porang flour solution was carried out for 21 days with a sonde. Parameters observed were movement, morphology, body weight (growth) and AST (U/L) on 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment. Data analysis was performed using Statistica 6 at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that porang flour treatment mice had a much lower body weight, were healthy, agile and moved a lot, indicating that porang flour plus aluminum sulfate can be developed as an alternative diet food. AST levels after 21 days of treatment with porang flour solution decreased. The recovery of Wistar rats induced by 12.5% acetic acid wounds for 3 days can be healed after 21 days given a 2 mL porang flour solution by sonde based on the results of morphological observations and decreased levels of AST.

Abstract

Kardiovaskular adalah Penyakit tidak menular yang menyerang masyarakat di negara maju hingga negara berkembang seperti Indonesia, salah satu dari penyakit kardiovaskular adalah hipertensi yang disebut sebagai penyumbang kematian terbanyak di dunia setiap tahunnya, seorang dengan tekanan darah abnormal dapat mengalami beberapa penyakit seperti gagal jantung, gagal ginjal, diabetes dan stroke. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui potensi Carica Papaya dalam penanganan hipertensi dan perkembangan penelitian terhadap potensi Carica Papaya. Subjek review ini adalah artikel nasional dan internasional yang terindeks secara nasional dan international 10 tahun terakhir yang membahas kemampuan antihipertensi pada Carica Papaya dengan melakukan klasifikasi berdasarkan metode pengujian yang digunakan, mekanisme kerja senyawa kimia yang berperan aktif dalam aktivitas hipotensi dan bagian tumbuhan yang digunakan dalam pengujian. Pada studi literatur didapatkan bahwa Carica Papaya memiliki berbagai mineral dan metabolit sekunder yang mampu menurunkan tekanan darah melalu mekanisme yang mirip dengan obat konvensional, Carica Papaya memiliki senyawa saponin, alkaloid, flavonoid dan kalium yang mampu menurunkan tekanan darah dengan mekanisme vasodilatasi, ACE Inhibitor dan diuretik. Carica Papaya memiliki kemampuan antihipertensi yang baik pada seluruh bagian tumbuhan namun perlunya studi lebih lanjut secara spesifik pada senyawa aktif dan mekanisme kerja yang belum diteliti.

Abstract

African leaves (Vernonia amygdalina) are known to be one part of the plant that has antibacterial activity that has the potential to be developed as a traditional medicine. This study aims to determine antibacterial activity, the effect of increasing extracts and the most effective concentration on the inhibitory power of the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. The antibacterial activity of african leaf ethanol extract with concentrations of 5%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 80% was tested using the disc diffusion method by observing the diameter of the inhibitory zone compared to Ciprofloxacin as a positive control and CMC as a negative control. The results of measurements of the diameter of the inhibition zone concentrations of 5% (7.0 mm), 10% (9.2 mm), 20% (11.5 mm), 40% (13.8 mm), 80% (15.7 mm) in S. aureus bacteria, 5% (8.1 mm), 10% (9.1 mm), 20% (11.6 mm), 40% (13.1 mm), 80% (15.1 mm) in P. aeruginosa bacteria have provided activity to inhibit the growth of test bacteria. The results were analyzed using One Way ANOVA and continued with the Duncan test. Research shows that the higher the concentration of the extract, the greater the diameter of the inhibitory zone of bacterial growth. An extract concentration of 80% is the most effective concentration for inhibiting S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria.

Abstract

ABSTRACTDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that interferes with the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This study aims to determine the types of bioactive compounds contained in bitter melon extract and to analyze interaction of targeted compounds against the α -glucosidase enzyme using the in silico approach. The results of the analysis using Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) used to obtain information on bioactive compounds that will be used as ligands to be attached to the α-glucosidase enzyme. Furthermore, the potential ability of each compound as antidiabetic was test using PyRx application and Acarbose was its control. The results of the GCMS analysis of this study contained 23 compounds detected in the methanol extract of bitter melon. This research proves that the compound Spirost-8-en-11 one, 3 hydroxy, (3ß,5a,14ß, 20ß, 22ß, 25R) with a binding affinity of -9.0 kcal/mol and Cholesta-8,24-dien -3-ol, 4-methyl-, (3ß,4a)- with a binding affinity of -8.3 kcal/mol have a good conformation. This research can be concluded that the two compounds can be developed as antidiabetic.  Keywords: Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia), antidiabetic, α - Glucosidase enzyme, molecular docking
