Abstract

Medicinal plants are recognized as valuable sources of secondary metabolites with therapeutic potential. Candidiasis caused by Candida albicans is a common health problem in tropical regions. The prolonged use of synthetic antifungal agents may lead to resistance, highlighting the need for effective natural alternatives. Curry leaves (Murraya koenigii (L) Spreng) are known to contain flavonoids and alkaloids with potential antifungal activity. This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of the 96% ethanol extract of curry leaves against Candida albicans ATCC 14503. The extract was prepared by maceration using 96% ethanol as the solvent. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids and saponins. The antifungal activity was tested using the disc diffusion method at concentrations of 6,25%, 12,5%, 25%, and 50%. Ketoconazole was used as positive control, while 96% ethanol served as a negative control. The test was performed in triplicate, and the inhibition zones were measured and averaged. The results showed that the 96% ethanol extract of curry leaves at all tested concentrations did not exhibited antifungal activity against C. albicans as indicated by the absence of inhibition zones on the media. It can be concluded that the extract, under the given conditions, was not effective in inhibiting fungal growth. This suggests that the extraction method and tested concentrations may not have been sufficient to isolate or concentrate the active compounds. Further studies using alternative extraction techniques, higher concentrations or isolated compounds are needed to better evaluate the antifungal potential of M. koenigii.

Abstract

Red rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) is an ornamental plant that is rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenols, vitamin C, tannins, and saponins that function as natural antioxidants. The purpose of this article is to review research results related to the antioxidant activity of red rose flowers in various dosage forms and extraction methods. This review was conducted through a literature review of 10 selected scientific articles in the range of 2015-2025 using the exclusion and inclusion method. The results showed that most of the red rose flower extracts showed very strong antioxidant activity, characterized by IC₅₀ values < 50 ppm, even in some studies reaching < 20 µg/mL. Antioxidant activity is influenced by the type of solvent, temperature and processing time, as well as the combination of ingredients such as bengkoang or mint leaves. Polar extracts such as ethanol and methanol tend to give the best results, while high temperature treatment and long heating times tend to reduce the effectiveness of active compounds. Thus, rose red flowers have great potential as a source of natural antioxidants that can be utilized in functional food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products.

Abstract

Chronic inflammation contributes significantly to various degenerative diseases, with Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) being a central target for anti-inflammatory drug development. Syzygium myrtifolium, a native Indonesian plant, is known to contain a variety of bioactive compounds with pharmacological potential. This study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of S. myrtifolium active compounds on COX-2 using a molecular docking approach. The tested compounds include avicularin, betulinic acid, ursolic acid, and two flavanones modeled and docked against the COX-2 protein (PDB ID: 5F19) using YASARA. Docking simulations were performed using YASARA software via a blind docking method and visualized through Discovery Studio. The results revealed that four compounds demonstrated stronger binding affinity than celecoxib, with (2S)-7-Hydroxy-5-methoxy-6,8-dimethylflavanone showing the most stable interaction with 9.0450 kcal/mol binding energy. Toxicity prediction suggests these compounds are generally safe based on LD50 values and toxicity class. These findings support the potential of S. myrtifolium as a natural source of COX-2 inhibitors.

Abstract

Apple cider vinegar and rosemary oil have an acaricidal effect on R. sanguineus ticks. Both ingredients offer health benefits. This study aimed to observe the effect of a spray preparation containing apple cider vinegar and rosemary oil at various concentrations on the mortality of R. sanguineus ticks. The study was conducted from February 2025 to April 2025. It used 75 R. sanguineus ticks, divided into 5 groups, with each group having three repetitions. K1, the negative control, was treated with pure distilled water. K2, the positive control, was treated with Fipronil 3% (Frontline brand). K3 was given bergamot oil 5%, rosemary oil 10%, and apple cider vinegar 5%. K4 was given bergamot oil 5%, rosemary oil 10%, and apple cider vinegar 10%. K5 was given bergamot oil 5%, rosemary oil 10%, and apple cider vinegar 15%. Each treatment group consisted of 5 ticks. Observations were made at 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes post-contact. The results showed that the group treated with bergamot oil 5%, rosemary oil 10%, and apple cider vinegar 15% achieved a Lethal Time 50 (LT50) at 106 minutes. The conclusion indicates that apple cider vinegar at a concentration of 15% required the least amount of time to kill the ticks
