Abstract

Chronic kidney failure is a condition characterised by a gradual deterioration of renal function over months to years, resulting in the replacement of normal cells by fibrous tissue, impairing the kidneys' ability to effectively filter waste products from the bloodstream. This review article is to examine medications that demonstrate effective therapeutic outcomes in accordance with treatment guidelines for patients with chronic renal failure, based on the criteria of appropriate patient, appropriate drug, appropriate indication, and appropriate dosage. The employed methodology is a narrative literature review, encompassing an examination of 14 papers published between 2015 and 2025. Literature searches were performed using the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct databases. The search employs the terms "Chronic Kidney Failure" and "Hemodialysis". The journal review indicates that pharmacological interventions in hospitalised chronic kidney failure patients aim to optimise renal filtration rates, avert the exacerbation of chronic kidney failure, and ameliorate physiological disturbances resulting from renal impairment. The hospital treatment adheres to the precision of diagnosis, indications, pharmacological selection, dosage, administration method, awareness of adverse effects, and evaluation of the patient's state in accordance with established therapeutic recommendations.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition of uric acid levels that have increased beyond normal limits in the blood. The prevalence of gout in Indonesia has increased by 11.9% and generally the highest prevalence is at the age of ≥ 75 years at 54.8%. Based on information, gout sufferers in women are higher (8.46%) compared to men (6.13%). The utilization of medicinal plants has been widely practiced by the community in dealing with the problem of gout. This article discusses several plants of the Myrtaceae family that are widely used by the community as traditional medicine in dealing with uric acid problems or as antihyperuricemia. The literature search method was carried out online to get articles from national and international journals. The results of the literature search obtained several plants of the Myrtaceae family, namely Salam (Syzygium polyanthum Wight.), guava (Psidium guajava L.), jamblang (Syzygium cumini L.), cloves (Syzygium cumini L.), and clove (Syzygium cumini L.). ), cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), Kupa (Syzygium polycephalum), guava rose (Syzygium jambos L.), and red shoots (Syzygium myrtifolium Walp.) that have antihyperuricemia activity through In vivo and In vitro testing. This review article can provide information about the potential of the Myrtaceae family that has activity as antihyperuricemia.

Abstract

TB is one of the oldest infectious diseases ever suffered by humans. The infection caused by the Mycrobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria, known as tuberculosis, usually attacks the lungs, but these bacteria can also infect the bones, brain, or kidneys. One of the obstacles hindering tuberculosis (TB) treatment efforts is adherence. There may have been a decrease in TB cases in recent years due to the increased adherence to TB treatment. Improving tuberculosis (TB) patients' adherence to TB treatment can be achieved through various means, including family communication, healthcare professionals via telemedicine, healthcare professionals with home pharmacy care, and much more. This narrative review method uses primary journal data sources directly collected from the Pubmed and Google Scholar websites. Individuals, families, environments, and medical personnel are factors that influence the success of therapy in TB patients.

Abstract

Inflammation is the body’s response to harmful stimuli, and it plays a crucial role in boosting immunity. However, if inflammation is not managed properly, it can lead to degenerative diseases. This research aims to analyze the potential of Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R. Br. leaves as an anti-inflammatory agent. The study employs an in silico molecular docking method, using the active compound from the plant as the test ligand and the COX-2 receptor as the target. The results indicate that the test ligand, Antosianin, shows the best interaction as an inhibitor of the target receptor, as demonstrated by its superior affinity energy value compared to the other test ligands.

Abstract

Cinnamon has long been used in traditional medicine and is gaining increasing attention in modern scientific circles due to its bioactive compounds, such as cinnamaldehyde, polyphenols, and flavonoids, which play a role in antihyperglycemic effects and improving insulin sensitivity. Several clinical trials have shown that cinnamon supplementation (1–6 grams per day for 8–16 weeks) can reduce fasting blood glucose levels by 10–29 mg/dL and HbA1c by 0.4–0.7% in patients with type 2 diabetes.This study aims to evaluate the potential of cinnamon as an antidiabetic agent by reviewing scientific evidence related to its mechanism of action, effectiveness, and safety of long-term consumption. A literature search was conducted through the PubMed and Google Scholar databases using the keywords “Cinnamon” AND “Antidiabetes” for articles published in the period 2003–2023. The included articles included in vitro, in vivo, and clinical trial experimental studies, while review articles and meta-analyses were excluded. A total of 30 articles that met the criteria were analyzed descriptively.The review results suggest that cinnamon works through the mechanism of inhibiting the enzyme α-glucosidase and increasing insulin sensitivity, which contribute to lower blood glucose and HbA1c levels. However, heterogeneity in the type of cinnamon used, variation in dosage, method of consumption, and the lack of long-term studies on its safety are limitations that need to be considered. Therefore, further research is needed, especially large-scale clinical trials with longer duration, to confirm the efficacy and safety of cinnamon in the management of diabetes.

Abstract

Pneumonia is an acute respiratory tract infection caused by various pathogenic bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance among these pathogens highlights the need for alternative therapeutic strategies derived from natural products. This study aimed to review the antibacterial potential of medicinal plants against pneumonia-causing bacteria and their underlying mechanisms. A systematic literature review was conducted by searching scientific articles in Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and MDPI. Articles were selected based on inclusion criteria covering antibacterial activity, active compounds, and reported mechanisms of action. A total of 30 eligible articles were analyzed descriptively. The medicinal plants reviewed include Etlingera elatior, Cassia alata, Morinda citrifolia, Melaleuca leucadendra, Momordica charantia, Guazuma ulmifolia, Artocarpus altilis, Acacia nilotica, Gynura procumbens, Trigona incisa propolis, and Ficus carica. These plants contain secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and phenols, which exhibit antibacterial activity by disrupting cell membranes, inhibiting protein synthesis, interfering with essential enzymes, and inducing oxidative stress in bacteria. The findings indicate that medicinal plants hold great potential as complementary or alternative therapies for pneumonia caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria; however, further research, particularly in vivo and clinical studies, is required to confirm their efficacy and safety.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the joints, resulting in progressive damage and a decreased quality of life for patients. Conventional therapies such as NSAIDs and DMARDs are indeed effective, but their long-term use carries the risk of serious side effects and high costs. Therefore, safer and more affordable alternative therapies are needed, one of which is through the use of medicinal plants. This study aims to examine the potential of herbal plants as an additional or alternative therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. The method employed is a literature study, involving the search and analysis of 31 scientific journals retrieved from academic databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and MDPI. The articles analyzed were selected based on certain criteria and contained information about the content of active compounds, pharmacological activity, and the mechanism of action of plants on the RA inflammation process. The results of the study showed that various herbal plants such as Zingiber officinale, Curcuma longa, Boswellia serrata, and Nigella sativa have significant anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. The active compounds in these plants work by inhibiting the inflammatory pathway and reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In conclusion, medicinal plants have great potential to be used as additional therapy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. However, further research is needed, especially clinical trials, to ensure the long-term safety and effectiveness of their use.
