Abstract

Cigarette smoke exposure triggers oxidative stress in the respiratory system through an increase in free radicals and a decrease in endogenous antioxidant activity, which contributes to lung damage and chronic diseases such as COPD and lung cancer. This study aims to investigate the potential of species from the Asteraceae family as a source of natural antioxidants in protecting the lungs and trachea from damage caused by exposure to free radicals in cigarette smoke. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with reference to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were conducted systematically through the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases until June 2025. The inclusion criteria included in vivo studies using Asteraceae plant extracts in animals with induced oxidative stress in the respiratory system, as well as involving the measurement of biomarkers such as MDA, GSH, SOD, and CAT. Of the 198 articles found, 10 articles met the criteria and included species such as Tridax procumbens, Chromolaena odorata, Pulicaria petiolaris, and Baccharis retusa. The results showed that these species had significant antioxidant activity through their flavonoid, polyphenol, and triterpenoid compound content. However, most studies did not use a direct cigarette smoke exposure model. In conclusion, the Asteraceae family has great potential as a source of natural antioxidants to protect the respiratory system from oxidative stress, although further research with more relevant exposure models is needed. Toxicology and metabolomics approaches are also needed to strengthen the evidence for practical application in the treatment of lung diseases caused by cigarette smoke.

Abstract

Patchouli oil (PO) contained patchoulol, which has antioxidant activity, making it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging products. However, this oil is volatile and chemically unstable. Therefore, it needs to be formulated into a Nanostructured Lipid Carriers based gel (NBG). This study aims to observe the effect of PO’s concentration on the physical characteristics and skin irritation of NBG preparations. NBG consists of 50% NLC and 50% gel. There are three formulas observed in this study, namely NBG-0 (0% PO), NBG-2 (2% PO), NBG-4 (4% PO). NLC prepared using the High Shear Homogenization method. Based on the physical characteristics test, it is known that all formulas have differences in the aroma aspect, where NBG-0 odorless, while NBG-2 and NBG-4 have a patchouli scent. All formula do not have differences in color and consistency. All formula have a pH in the range of 5.92 - 6.21. Statistically, increasing the concentration of PO decreases the pH of NBG. The three formulas have a viscosity in the range of 4.493 - 9.880 cP. Statistically, viscosity of NBG increasased by increasing concentration of PO. Based on in vivo skin irritation tests using white mice, it is known that all formulas have the same IIP (Primary Irritation Index) value. Based on the study, it can be concluded that the concentration of PO (0%, 2%, 4%) affects the aroma, pH and viscosity aspects but does not affect the color and consistency of NBG. Increasing the PO concentration in NBG up to 4% did not cause skin irritation.

Abstract

Elephantopus mollis is a common weed found in West Sumatra, known for its diverse traditional uses and rich phytochemical content. This study aimed to isolate phenolic compounds and evaluate the antioxidant activity of the polar extract of E. mollis herb. The polar extract was obtained through successive extraction using solvents of increasing polarity. Separation of the polar extract was carried out using Amberlite XAD-4 resin chromatography with methanol and water eluents, followed by isolation through silica gel column chromatography using a step-gradient polarity elution system. The separation and isolation processes were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Total phenolic content was determined by the Folin–Ciocalteu method, while antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Structural identification of the isolated compound was performed using UV-Vis, IR, NMR, and LC-MS spectroscopic techniques. Subfraction D of the polar extract exhibited a high phenolic content of 618.06 ± 3.38 mg GAE /g. From subfraction D, a phenolic compound designated D3a was isolated as a yellowish-white powder (95.30 mg) with an Rf value of 0.64, producing a dark blue color upon reaction with 10% FeCl₃. The antioxidant activity of compound D3a was classified as very strong, with an IC₅₀ value of 12.42 ppm. Based on physicochemical characterization, compound D3a was identified as caffeic acid with a molecular formula of C₉H₈O₄ and a molecular weight of 180.049.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is an acute infection of the lung tissue caused by various microorganisms, exposure to chemicals, or physical lung damage. The mucolytic N-acetylcysteine (NAC), administered in varying numbers of dosage forms, is frequently used as an adjunctive therapy in the management of pneumonia. Objective: This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) mucolytic therapy using two versus three NAC dosage forms in ICU patients with comorbid pneumonia, by analyzing clinical improvement, ICU length of stay, and drug costs. Methodology: A retrospective observational study was conducted at the Prof. Dr. dr. Mahar Mardjono National Brain Center Hospital, involving medical record data from 88 pneumonia patients, who received two or three NAC dosage forms. Result: Of the patients, 51.1% had a length of stay (LOS) exceeding 9 days, with a higher proportion in the three-dosage-form group (73.7% vs. 45.0%, P = 0.083). Medical records and radiological findings indicated greater clinical improvement in the three-dosage-form group (31.6% vs. 16.0%, P = 0.001). The Average Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ACER) was Rp20,932 for two dosage forms and Rp27,961 for three dosage forms per 1% effectiveness, demonstrating a lower cost per unit of effectiveness for two dosage forms. The Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) was Rp35,169 per 1% additional effectiveness, with an additional cost of Rp548,637 for a 15.6% effectiveness increase in the three-dosage-form group. Conclusion: Therapy with three dosage forms of N-acetylcysteine yields better clinical improvement compared to two dosage forms, but is associated with a longer ICU length of stay and higher drug costs.

Abstract

Acalypha indica L., commonly known as Indian copperleaf, is a wild medicinal plant typically found along roadsides and in gardens. Its leaves contain various bioactive compounds, including saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins. Traditionally, the plant has been used for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties, which help combat oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ethanol extract of Acalypha indica L. leaves in treating gastric ulcers in male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). This research was a true experimental study involving the extraction of Acalypha indica L. leaves using ethanol, preparation of the extract suspension, and induction of gastric ulcers in rats using aspirin at a dose of 800 mg/kg body weight (BW) administered orally. A total of 30 male Rattus norvegicus rats were divided into six groups. Three control groups is Ulcer control, Negative control, Positive control. Three treatment groups receiving ethanol extract of Acalypha indica leaves (EEAIL) at doses of: EEDAA 50 mg/kgBB, EEDAA100 mg/kg BB, EEDAA 200 mg/kgBB. Ulcer induction was carried out daily until surgical examination was performed on days 4, 9, and 14. Macroscopic observations of the stomach were conducted to assess the number of ulcers and ulcer scores. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post hoc test to determine significant differences between groups. Macroscopic examination showed that the ethanol extract of Acalypha indica leaves (EEAIL) reduced the number of gastric ulcers. Complete healing of ulcers was observed in the positive control group, as well as in the groups receiving EEAIL at 200 mg/kg BW and 100 mg/kg BW, by day 14. In contrast, the 50 mg/kg BW group and the ulcer control group showed no signs of healing by the end of the observation period. The most effective dose was 200 mg/kg BW, demonstrating the highest capacity to reduce the number of gastric ulcers.
