Abstract

Background: Premature aging has become a serious concern, especially among women. The aging process can occur at any time and progress rapidly. This condition may be caused by exposure to sunlight, which induces the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in the skin. When the amount of ROS exceeds the antioxidant defense capacity of skin cells, it can lead to dryness, thinning, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. The swamp eel (Monopterus albus) is commonly used as food by the community. Previous studies have shown that eel extract has been used to treat incision wounds, gastric ulcers, and anemia. It contains vitamin A, vitamin B, and selenium. This species is abundantly found in rice fields and muddy ponds in the Lubuk Pakam area. The formulation of the extract into nan chitosan derived from shrimp shells has been reported to improve the delivery of antioxidant effects into the skin layers. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the activity of a hydrogel combining swamp eel extract with nanochitosan, evaluate its antioxidant activity, and assess the physical stability of the hydrogel formulation as an anti-aging preparation. Methods: Extraction was carried out using the maceration method. The nanochitosan-based hydrogel formulation was designed to enhance the delivery of the eel’s active compounds. Antioxidant activity was tested using the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, and the physical stability of the hydrogel was evaluated. Results: The physical evaluation showed that the nanochitosan hydrogel containing swamp eel extract maintained good stability during storage. Organoleptic tests indicated a consistent yellowish-white color, characteristic aroma, and uniform texture (homogeneity) from day 0 to day 4. The pH value remained stable at 5.2 throughout weeks 0 to 4, within the physiological range of skin pH. Viscosity measurements were 10,350 cps for F1, 11,750 cps for F2, and 23,650 cps for F3. These findings suggest that the formulation possessed good physical stability and an appropriate consistency for topical application. Conclusion: Skin elasticity and biological activity tests showed an increase in skin firmness, likely due to the collagen, flavonoid, and antioxidant content in the swamp eel extract. Irritation and panelist preference tests confirmed its safety and user acceptability. Therefore, this hydrogel shows potential to be developed as a natural, safe, and consumer-friendly anti-aging formulation.

Abstract

Inflammation is a body defense mechanism by the presence of cell damage against harmful stimuli caused by pathogens, toxic compounds, or irradiation. Drugs that have been used have adverse side effects for the body. The use of natural ingredients is an alternative, one of which is natural ingredients from the sea, namely Rhabdastrella sp. The sponge genus Rhabdastrella has various bioactivities such as anticancer, antimalarial, antibacterial, chemopreventive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective, insecticidal, antidiabetic, cytotoxic. Other species of the Genus Rhabdastrella, such as the sponge Rhabdastrella sp. has never been studied. The purpose of this study was to determine the antiinflamation activity of the ethanol extract of the sponge Rhabdastrella sp. The research method was carried out using the method of denaturation of chicken egg protein. The sponge Rhabdastrella sp. was extracted with 96% ethanol. The anti-inflammatory test with protein denaturation used spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 660 nm. concentrations of sample are 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 150 ppm, 200 ppm, and 250 ppm. The positive control comparison used sodium diclofenac with concentrations are 3.12 ppm; 6.25 ppm; 12.5 ppm; 25 ppm; and 50 ppm. The results showed that the ability to inhibit protein denaturation of 20% ethanol extract of Rhabdastrella sp. was obtained at 70.29 ppm, while the IC50 of the ethanol extract obtained was 280.33 ppm. These results were significantly different from the positive control of sodium diclofenac, which was 36.51 ppm. The anti-inflammatory activity of the sample sponge extract was very small because the content of compounds that have anti-inflammatory abilities, including flavonoids, was only about 2%. Based on this, the sponge extract of Rhabdastrella sp. is not potential as an anti-inflammatory.

Abstract

Background: Inflammation is the body's natural response to tissue injury caused by internal or external stimuli, with the aim of neutralizing the agent causing damage and repairing injured tissue. Initial treatment of inflammation is generally done by eliminating local triggering factors, such as pain relievers through the use of chemical drugs. However, this therapy often causes unwanted side effects. The use of natural ingredients that have anti-inflammatory activity is a safer alternative than modern drugs. Objective: to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of ethanol extract of turmeric rhizome (Curcuma longa L.). Method: using a model of edema on the soles of the feet of male white mice induced by 1% carrageenan. A total of 24 mice were divided into 6 treatment groups, one group was not given treatment as a comparison, three groups received doses of ethanol extract of turmeric rhizome (100, 200, and 300 mg/kgBW), one negative control (Na CMC 0.5%), and one positive control (6.5 mg/kgBW Na diclofenac). Results: showed that after carrageenan induction, all test groups experienced a progressive decrease in inflammation levels from the 60th to the 360th minute. After the extract dose groups of 100 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW, 300 mg/kgBW, and Na diclofenac, the Na CMC group had the highest percentage of inflammation at the 120th minute. The Na diclofenac group showed the highest percentage of inflammation inhibition, followed by extract doses of 300, 200, and 100 mg/kgBW. In contrast to the Na CMC group which did not show anti-inflammatory activity, these data indicate that the ethanol extract of turmeric rhizome at a dose of 300 mg/kgBW has the highest anti-inflammatory efficacy after Na diclofenac, followed by doses of 200 mg/kgBW and 100 mg/kgBW. Conclusion: turmeric rhizome extract has the potential to reduce inflammation in the soles of mice's feet.

Abstract

One of the formulations commonly used in treating acne is cream. However, most creams contain chemicals that can irritate the skin. Therefore, an alternative solution should be to use natural antibacterial ingredients. There is scientific evidence that chrysanthemum leaves (Spaghneticola Trilobata) have antimicrobial activity due to their secondary metabolite content consisting of terpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids. In this study, Chrysanthemum Leaf extract will be formulated into a physically stable anti-acne cream. To make chrysanthemum leaf ethanol extract cream, the concentration of stearic acid and TEA was varied. The amount of extract used to make the cream is 2.5%. Different concentrations of TEA:Stearic acid, namely F1 (0.2%:5%), F2 (0.4%:10%), and F3 (0.6%:15%). Type M/A cream that extracts ethanol from chrysanthemum leaves produces a semi-solid texture, olive green color, and characteristic odor of chrysanthemum leaves. After homogeneity test, the cream is said to be homogeneous because there are no coarse particles. The pH value of this cream is around 6-7, so it is safe to apply on the face. The spreadability test of Formula I, which reached 5.65 cm, met the standard for good cream spreadability, and the stickiness test, which lasted for 4.57 seconds, showed that this cream met the criteria for good stickiness. Formula I (F1) is the best formula that meets the criteria for a quality cream, according to the physical stability test results.

Abstract

Background: Leaf Ara Sungsang, also known as Asystasia gangetica, is a plant that has been used for a long time to treat different health issues, including inflammation. This plant has compounds called flavonoids and tannins, which are thought to help reduce inflammation by stopping certain chemicals that cause it. Objective: This study looked at how well the ethanol extract from Asystasia gangetica leaves works as an anti-inflammatory treatment in male white mice that had been given 1% carrageenan to induce inflammation. Methods: The study used 25 mice, which were split into five groups. One group received sodium diclofenac at 6.5 mg per kg of body weight as a positive control. Another group got 0.5% Na-CMC as a negative control. The other three groups received different doses of the ethanol extract: 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, and 250 mg/kg. All the mice were given 1% carrageenan to create inflammation. Result: The highest level of inflammation was seen at 6 hours. The strongest anti-inflammatory effect was found in the group that received sodium diclofenac. The groups that received the ethanol extract also showed some anti-inflammatory effects, with the highest dose (250 mg/kg) being the most effective. The Na-CMC group did not show any significant anti-inflammatory effect. The data was analyzed using One Way ANOVA, and there were significant differences in the percentage of inflammation reduction between the different treatment groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion:  Based on the percentage of inhibition, it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of ara sungsang leaves at a dose of 250 mg/kgBB has the best anti-inflammatory effect after sodium diclofenac.

Abstract

Cigarette smoke contains oxidants or free radicals and approximately 4,700 hazardous chemicals. Elevated levels of free radicals in the body can trigger the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. This condition arises when there is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants. During this process, oxygen (O2) leakage occurs, resulting in the formation of superoxide radicals (*O2), which can subsequently induce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of green apple juice supplementation on superoxide dismutase (SOD) and IL-6 levels in male Wistar rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The study employed a Post-Test Only Control Group Design. A total of 20 male rats that met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to four groups: K1, K2, K3, and K4. Group K3 received standard feed supplemented with green apple juice at a dose of 13.5 grams per day, while group K4 received standard feed supplemented with green apple juice at a dose of 27 grams per day. Both groups were exposed to cigarette smoke for 14 consecutive days. On the 15th day, blood samples were collected from the male Wistar rats to measure SOD and IL-6 levels using the ELISA method. Data were analyzed using a One-Way ANOVA test, followed by Tukey's Post Hoc test. The results showed that the highest average SOD level was observed in group K2 (1.76 ng/L), while the highest IL-6 level was recorded in group K1 (4.08 ng/L). The One-Way ANOVA test indicated significant differences in SOD and IL-6 levels among the groups, with a p-value of <0.05.
