Abstract

Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (DRTB) is a significant global health issue due to its rapid transmission and high morbidity. The variety of medications used in DRTB treatment increases the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), which can contribute to patient nonadherence and adversely affect treatment outcomes. This study aimed to describe the occurrence of ADRs, quantify medication adherence rates, and assess treatment outcomes among patients with drugresistant tuberculosis (DRTB). Furthermore, it sought to analyse the associations between ADRs, demographic and clinical variables, medication adherence, and the associations between ADRs and treatment outcomes. Using a cross-sectional design, this study utilized medical records data and the Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) of adult DRTB patients treated at Universitas Indonesia Hospital from April 1, 2022, to February 28, 2023. A total sampling method was employed to select the research participants. Of the 65 patients, 60 (95.24%) experienced ADRs, and the Medication Refill Adherence method indicated an 89.23% adherence rate. Two patients (3.08%) were classified as successful or cured during the data collection period. Chi-square tests revealed no significant relationship between ADRs and medication adherence (p = 0.373) or treatment outcomes (p = 0.120). All demographic and clinical factors (age, gender, comorbidities, treatment combinations, and potential drug interactions) also showed no significant relationships with adherence (p > 0.05). In contrast, treatment combinations showed significant relationships with treatment outcomes (p = 0.013). These findings highlight the importance of medicines optimisation strategies, including proactive ADR management and adherence support, to improve treatment outcomes in DRTB patients.

Abstract

Tapak dara Catharanthus roseus (L.) Don extract possesses promising properties that could counteract the detrimental effects of UV-B exposure. Its inherent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities suggest its potential as a therapeutic agent for managing UV-B-induced skin damage. This study aims to analyze the effect of tapak dara extract ointment on IL-6 and MMP-1 levels in photodamaged skin. Twenty-five healthy male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: a healthy control group (n = 5) and a UVB-exposed group (n = 20). The UVB-exposed rats received 1 MED for 8 minutes per day, for 10 sessions over 14 days. Skin tissue was collected on day 15 to assess skin damage and validate collagen loss using immunohistochemistry. After validation, photodamaged skin rats were divided equally into four experimental groups: placebo (P2), vitamin E (P3), tapak dara extract 10% (P4), and 20% (P5). The rats were sacrificed at the end of the study, and the skin tissues were analyzed for IL-6 and MMP-1 using ELISA. Based on the analysis results, groups P4 and P5 produced average levels of IL-6 and MMP-1 that were significantly lower than those in P2 (p < 0.050). IL-6 and MMP-1 levels in group P5 reached 188.60 ± 40.60 pg/mL and 1,611 ± 344 pg/mL, respectively. This is likely due to the secondary metabolite content of tapak dara, which acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, suggesting it has potential as a photodamaged skin therapy. As many as 20% tapak dara extract cream effectively reduces IL-6 and MMP-1 levels in UV-B-exposed skin tissue. However, this study did not evaluate changes in skin tissue after treatment with tapak dara extract. Therefore, further research is needed to analyze and validate collagen synthesis following treatment with tapak dara extract.

Abstract

Avocado oil (AVO) is a natural source of many unsaturated fatty acids that can help protect the skin from harmful UV radiation. The high content of unsaturated fatty acids in avocado oil can affect product stability. One way to overcome the stability of avocado oil for topical preparation is by formulating it into a gel base using Carbopol 980. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical stability and SPF value of avocado oil nano-emulgel (NE) with variations of Carbopol 980 as a gel base for 28 days of storage. AVONE was made with 5% AVO and Carbopol 980 base variation of 0.5% (NE1), 1.0% (NE2;), and 1.5% (NE3.) AVONE was stored in a climatic chamber at 30° ± 2°C with RH 65% ± 5%. The samples were tested for physical and SPF values before storage on days 7, 14, 21, and 28. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using one-way Anova. The AVONE on organoleptic parameters were stable; the resulting colour is broken-white with a distinctive oil aroma and thick and homogeneous texture. The pH value ranged from 6.21 ± 0.02 - 7.21 ± 0.02, with all formulas stable during storage. The viscosity value ranged from 13.28±0.23 - 47.22±0.89 dPa.s; the viscosity of NE3 was stable during storage. Adhesion and spreadability showed good ability to adhere to the skin. The SPF values ranged from 8.95±0.43 – 22.41±0.21, and NE3 was stable during storage. Avocado oil nano-emulgel with Carbopol 980 concentration of 1.5% was stable during storage.

Abstract

The global monkeypox (MPOX) outbreak, which has resulted in more than 100,000 confirmed cases across over 120 countries, underscores the urgent need for effective therapeutic strategies. MPOX, caused by a virus belonging to the Orthopoxvirus genus, poses significant clinical and public health challenges, particularly in regions with limited healthcare capacity. Although the World Health Organization declared MPOX a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in 2022, no specific antiviral treatment has yet been formally approved. While vaccination remains essential for long-term prevention, its impact is constrained by limited availability and unequal global distribution. Consequently, drug repurposing has emerged as a practical, rapid, and cost-efficient strategy to address immediate therapeutic demands during active outbreaks. This narrative review evaluates key repurposed antiviral agents including tecovirimat, brincidofovir, and cidofovir were originally developed for other Orthopoxvirus infections. A structured literature search using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar (2014–2024) identified studies providing clinically relevant evidence regarding their therapeutic roles in MPOX. Tecovirimat demonstrated consistent potential to improve viral clearance, shorten symptom duration, and reduce severe manifestations. Brincidofovir exhibited a more favorable safety profile, albeit with limited clinical data, whereas cidofovir showed antiviral activity but remains restricted by its nephrotoxicity. Collectively, current evidence suggests that drug repurposing offers a timely and resource-efficient option for managing MPOX and mitigating disease burden while vaccine accessibility continues to vary globally. When integrated with targeted public health interventions, repurposed drugs may serve as a crucial interim strategy to reduce transmission and enhance outbreak response capacity.

Abstract

A diet high in saturated fat and fructose leads to dyslipidemia, increasing atherosclerosis risk. Although lipid-lowering medications are available, they have certain limitations. Flaxseed, rich in ALA, lignans, and phytosterols, may improve lipid profiles and act as an antioxidant. This study evaluated the effectiveness of flaxseed in preventing LDL cholesterol elevation and aortic foam cell formation in male Wistar rats fed a high-fat, high-fructose (HFHF) diet.This actual experimental study used a post-test-only control group design for 35 days. Twenty-five male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups: N (normal control, standard diet), K (negative control, HFHF diet), and three treatment groups (P1, P2, P3, HFHF diet) receiving flaxseed ethanol extract at doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kgBW/day. LDL cholesterol levels (mg/dL) and aortic foam cell counts (cells/HPF) were measured. Data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk and Levene tests for normality and homogeneity, followed by one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Tukey-HSD post hoc tests. LDL cholesterol levels in groups N, P1, P2, and P3 were significantly lower than in group K (p = 0.007), with P2 showing the most significant inhibition (p = 0.035). Foam cell counts were lower in treatment groups than in group K (p = 0.257), but no significant differences were found among them. Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) ethanol extract at 400 mg/kgBW/day was the most effective in preventing an increase in LDL cholesterol. However, the extract at all three doses was ineffective in preventing an increase in aortic foam cells in male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) fed an HFHF diet.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a significant global health problem that is often encountered in women. Kaempferol from Moringa is known to control breast cancer cells. This study explores the in silico potential of kaempferol compounds derived from Moringa oleifera as breast cancer drug candidates. The results showed that kaempferol compounds have anticarcinogenic potential, with a high Pa value of 0.715, via the target proteins CYP1B1 and HSD17B2. The prediction of physicochemical properties indicates that kaempferol is a viable oral medication candidate, as it adheres to Lipinski's rule of five. However, it is dangerous if swallowed because it is classified as toxicity class 5. Molecular docking analysis indicates that kaempferol has high affinity for the target proteins CYP1B1 and HSD17B2. It can significantly contribute to breast cancer progression, with binding energies of -7.1 kcal/mol and -6.8 kcal/mol, respectively. Hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions predominated the molecular interactions between kaempferol and the target proteins. These findings suggest that kaempferol from Moringa oleifera is a promising lead compound for the development of breast cancer treatments. Despite its potential, further studies are required to mitigate its toxicity risks, as indicated by the pharmacokinetics, drug-likeness, and toxicity assessments.

Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia, which has not met the requirements of the WHO, makes stunting a national problem. In line with the nutritional intervention in 2020-2030, UNICEF developed SQ-LNS products as a food paste. As an effort to prevent stunting as well as improve product stability, the formulation of Small-Quantity Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements (SQ-LNS) from soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr) in tablet form is proposed to be a solution for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Microencapsulation technology is used to entrap soybean oil as the lipid source of this supplement. This study aims to obtain the best concentration of maltodextrin, soy protein isolate, and carboxymethyl cellulose as a soybean oil coating for felting into SQ-LNS tablet preparation. The best microcapsule is produced from a 40% formula with a percent yield of 28%, encapsulation efficiency of 79.83%, PSD microcapsule of 1.003 μm, and round agglomerated particles with a smooth surface without any residual oil seen under the SEM, and obtained the best formulation and evaluation of SQ-LNS tablets so that they meet the quality standards of good stunting supplement tablets.
