Abstract

Skin damage caused by ultraviolet radiation has become a major health concern, prompting the search for natural photoprotective agents. This study aimed to determine the sun protection factor of ethanol-based Mangifera indica L. var. arumanis leaf extract and its topical gel formulations. Fresh mature leaves were dried, powdered, and extracted using maceration with 96% ethanol. The extract was subsequently formulated into gels with varying concentrations and evaluated for physical properties including pH, viscosity, spreadability, adhesion, homogeneity, and organoleptic characteristics. The sun protection factor was measured using UV-Visible spectrophotometry and calculated via the Mansur equation. Results showed that the ethanol extract provided ultra-level photoprotection at all tested concentrations, while gel formulations containing higher extract concentrations achieved enhanced sun protection, with optimal physical stability observed at intermediate concentrations. Excessive extract concentration resulted in reduced homogeneity and decreased adhesion. These findings demonstrate that Mangifera indica L. var. arumanis leaf extract is a promising natural sunscreen ingredient and that careful formulation is required to balance biological efficacy with physical stability. The study provides a basis for developing safe and effective natural sun protection products.

Abstract

Sea grapes (Caulerpa racemosa) are a species of seaweed with considerable potential as a source of bioactive compounds; however, their utilization in Indonesia remains limited. This study aimed to describe the preparation process of crude extract from sea grapes using the maceration method and to determine its yield. The procedure involved drying the seaweed in a drying cabinet at 45 °C for 23 hours, grinding the dried material into simplicia powder using a chopper, macerating the powder with 96% ethanol at a ratio of 1:5 for three consecutive 24-hour periods, and evaporating the solvent with a rotary evaporator at 40 °C. The obtained extract was further concentrated using a water bath until a paste form was achieved. From 3 kg of fresh material, 100 g of dried simplicia was produced, yielding 5.595 g of crude extract with a yield value of 5.595%. The maceration method was selected due to its efficiency, simplicity, and minimal requirement for specialized equipment. Ethanol 96% was chosen as the solvent because of its ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar active compounds and its safety for consumable products

Abstract

Strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) contain non-polar flavonoids and function as antioxidants. Nanotechnology can increase drug bioavailability, has a kinetically stable system, has the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin, lowers viscosity, and delivers the active substance to the skin surface to form a thin layer. The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of Tween 80 as a surfactant on the fruit extract nanoemulsion formulation. Nanoemulsion is made from Tween 80 surfactant, PEG 400 cosurfactant, and virgin coconut oil oil phase. The concentration of Tween 80 used by F1, F2, and F3 was 20%, 30%, and 40%. The preparations were tested for organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, transmittance and droplet size on the formula with the smallest droplet size. The organoleptic of the resulting nanoemulsion is in the form of a clearer brown colour, a characteristicic odour, and a, and a liquid form,form, and there is no separation phase. The effect of varying the concentration of Tween 80 in the nanoemulsion formulation of strawberry fruit extract: the higher the concentration of Tween 80, the higher the pH value, % transmittance and viscosity of the preparation. The droplet sizes on F1, F2, and F3 were 5722.77 ± 1.53 nm, 3328.5 ± 0.00 nm, and 25.97 ± 0.90 nm with a polydispersity index of 16.312 ± 4.32, 9.927 ± 0.00, and 1.060 ± 0.11. Nanoemulsions of strawberry fruit extract with a concentration of 40% can produce good preparations. The antioxidant testing findings utilising the ABTS method revealed that the strawberry extract nanoparticle formulation exhibited an IC50 value of under 50, signifying exceptionally potent antioxidant activity.

Abstract

Exposure to free radicals caused by oxidative stress is a major factor in cellular damage and contributes to the development of degenerative diseases, highlighting the need for safe and effective natural antioxidants. Oxidative stress is triggered by excessive production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), in which cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays a key enzymatic role in ROS formation. Cayenne pepper leaves (Capsicum frutescens L.) are known to possess antioxidant potential, with capsaicin identified as an important secondary metabolite. The antioxidant potential of capsaicin was evaluated using an in-silico approach by analyzing its binding affinity and molecular interactions with the COX-2 enzyme. This research aimed to assess capsaicin from cayenne pepper leaves as a potential natural antioxidant candidate through in silico interaction analysis with COX-2. Molecular docking was performed using AutoDock software to determine binding affinity values and optimal ligand conformations at the active site of COX-2. Interaction visualization and amino acid residue analysis were conducted using Discovery Studio Visualizer. The docking results were compared with the native ligand based on binding affinity and inhibition constant (Ki) values to evaluate inhibitory potential. Capsaicin exhibited a binding affinity of −7.41 kcal/mol and a Ki value of 3.73 µM, indicating stable interaction with COX-2. Although its binding affinity was lower than that of the native ligand, capsaicin demonstrated sufficient interaction strength to be classified as a potential natural COX-2 inhibitor. These findings suggest that capsaicin derived from cayenne pepper leaves may possess natural antioxidant activity based on in silico analysis.

Abstract

Heart failure represents a major public health challenge in Indonesia, characterized by high hospitalization rates and substantial healthcare costs. This study compared the economic efficiency of sacubitril-valsartan and ramipril in hospitalized heart failure patients through cost-minimization analysis. This study was conducted in a retrospective cross-sectional at RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang from January to December 2024, Analyzed 98 patients who received sacubitril-valsartan or ramipril in conjunction with beta-blockers and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and did not undergo minor or major surgery during hospitalization, with data sourced from medical records, hospital systems, pharmacy, and finance departments. Patient baseline characteristics showed no significant differences in sex, occupation, or length of stay, though sacubitril-valsartan patients had more comorbidities and different insurance and education profiles. Length of stay averaged 5.78 days for ramipril and 6.18 days for sacubitril-valsartan, with no statistical difference. Total hospital costs reached 12,379,257 IDR per patient for ramipril versus 12,174,742 IDR for sacubitril-valsartan. Sacubitril-valsartan proves economically comparable to ramipril, offering a slight cost advantage from the payer perspective under equivalent clinical effectiveness. These findings support its integration into Indonesian heart failure protocols to optimize resource use amid budget constraints.

Abstract

Acne is a common chronic skin disorder among adolescents in Indonesia, with a prevalence of approximately 80–85%, particularly in individuals aged 15–18 years. One of the main microorganisms associated with acne pathogenesis is Propionibacterium acnes. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract of green spinach (Amaranthus viridis) leaves against P. acnes. This experimental study was conducted using a well diffusion method. The green spinach leaf extract was prepared through maceration using 96% ethanol as the extraction solvent. Phytochemical screening was performed to identify the presence of bioactive compounds, and antibacterial activity was assessed at extract concentrations of 50%, 60%, and 70%, with clindamycin used as a positive control and sterile distilled water as a negative control. The phytochemical screening results showed that the ethanol extract contained flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. However, the antibacterial assay demonstrated that the extract at all tested concentrations did not produce inhibition zones against P. acnes. In contrast, clindamycin produced a clear inhibition zone with a diameter of 19.25 mm, while the negative control showed no inhibitory effect. These findings indicate that, under the experimental conditions applied in this study, the ethanol extract of green spinach leaves does not exhibit antibacterial activity against P. acnes. Further investigations using higher extract concentrations, alternative extraction methods, or different solvents are necessary to explore the potential antibacterial properties of green spinach leaves more comprehensively.
