Abstract

The relatively high rate of helminth infections in Indonesia has prompted scientists to explore the potential of plants as natural anthelmintics, aiming to replace synthetic options that are known to have side effects. This study aims to determine the potential of n-hexane extract from Momordica charantia leaves to cause mortality in Ascaris suum. This research is an experimental laboratory using post-test only control group design. There were seven treatment groups in this study, namely 2,500 ppm, 5,000 ppm, 10,000 ppm, 15,000 ppm, and 20,000 ppm of n-hexane extract of Momordica charantia leaves, a negative control group containing 0.9% NaCl, and a positive control group containing 8,000 ppm albendazole. Ascaris suum is obtained from pig intestines. Ascaris suum was incubated for 24 hours at 37oC. Data analysis was done using the pearson correlation and probit analysis. The extract causes Ascaris suum mortality with LC99 of extract = 23,940 ppm. Ascaris suum mortality with high concentration was strongly correlated (Sig. (2-tailed) 0.971). n-hexane extract from Momordica charantia leaves has the potential to cause Ascaris suum mortality.

Abstract

The use of traditional medicine has become widespread and deeply rooted in various cultures. One of the medicinal plants commonly used for wound healing is turmeric (Curcuma longa). This study aims to formulate and develop a topical cream from the 96% ethanol extract of turmeric rhizome as a wound healer by conducting phytochemical screening and evaluating the stability of the cream preparation. Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, which contribute to anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. The homogeneity test showed that the cream was uniform, with a distinctive turmeric aroma. The pH value was 5, which aligns with the safe range for skin applications (4.5–6.5). However, the spreadability test result was 3 cm, which is below the standard range of 5–7 cm, indicating that further optimization is needed. In conclusion, the formulated turmeric cream meets several quality standards but requires improvements in formulation, particularly in enhancing its spreadability by optimizing additional ingredients to achieve better performance.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the potential of Moringa oleifera secondary metabolites as inhibitors of the α-glucosidase enzyme using an in silico approach. The study employed molecular docking methods. The structure of the α-glucosidase enzyme was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 3TOP), while the structures of Moringa oleifera secondary metabolites were sourced from the literature. Docking simulations were conducted using AutoDock Vina, and interaction results were analyzed using Discovery Studio. The analyzed parameters included binding affinity values and the interactions between ligands and active site residues of the enzyme. The results showed that several secondary metabolites of Moringa oleifera, such as lutein and 4-(α-L-rhamnopyranosyloxy)benzyl glucosinolate, exhibited strong binding affinity values: -10.93 kcal/mol for lutein and -10.27 kcal/mol for 4-(α-L-rhamnopyranosyloxy)benzyl glucosinolate. Benzyl glucosinolate enhanced the stability of the ligand-protein complex, demonstrating its potential as a more effective α-glucosidase inhibitor compared to acarbose, the currently used antidiabetic drug. Based on molecular docking analysis, the secondary metabolites of Moringa oleifera indicate great potential for further development as antidiabetic agents.

Abstract

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is an infrared spectroscopy equipped with a Fourier transform for detection and analysis of spectral results. This method is used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze organic and inorganic molecules with a wavenumber range of 14000 cm-1–10 cm-1. Based on these wavenumbers, the infrared region is divided into three regions, namely near infrared, mid infrared, and far infrared. The tool used in this method is an FTIR spectrophotometer whose working principle based on the interaction between the energy and the material. This method are fast, non-destructive, simple sample preparation, ease of use, using little solvent so it is environmentally friendly when compared to other HPLC and spectroscopic methods. But the sampling space in this method is relatively small so that it can block infrared rays. The research method that used is systematic literature review (SLR) from 20 research articles in national and international journals with publication years between 2005-2023. Based on the results of quantitative analysis of amoxicillin, pentoxyphylline, ciprofloxacin, diclofenac sodium, sodium ceftriaxone, ibuprofen, valsartan, and cefadroxil compounds in drugs can be analyzed using this method because they include organic compounds and are analyzed in the mid infrared. All concentrations of compounds analyzed meet the content requirements according to the Indonesian Pharmacopoeia IV Edition, which is not less than 90% and not more than 110%.

Abstract

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. There are around 36 million deaths every year. An example of NCD, a non-communicable disease, is hypertension. Excessive consumption of sodium chloride (NaCl) is the main factor that can cause hypertension and organ fibrosis. A natural ingredient that has the potential to act as an antifibrosis agent against fibrosis is quercetin by increasing PPAR-γ expression. Based on research, one of the plants that contains quercetin is the herb of Patikan Kebo (Euphorbia hirta Linn). Collagen is a protein biomarker of fibrosis synthesized via the PPAR-γ signaling pathway. The aim of this research was to determine the organ protective effect of administration of Patikan Kebo herbal extract against renal fibrosis and heart in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced with 1.5% NaCl. The method involved 15 male Wistar rats aged 2.5 months with a body weight of 100-150 grams, which were divided into three groups (KI: control; KII: induced by 1.5% NaCl; KIII: induced by 1.5% NaCl + Patikan Kebo extract 200 mg/kg body weight. The induction was carried out for 8 consecutive weeks. On day 56, the kidneys and heart were removed in groups I and II, while in group III the treatment with the Patikan-Kebo extract from Patikan-Kebo at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight was continued for 28 days in Group III. Specifically, for group III, kidneys and heart were collected on day 84 after treatment with Patikan kebo extract on day 84. Collagen was stained with Giemsa stain. Data were analyzed using a Kruskal-Wallis test. The difference is considered significant if the probability value is p0.05. The result showed that there were significant differences between the control and treatment groups. Patikan Kebo extract can reduce collagen in rats with induced fibrosis with 1.5% NaCl.

Abstract

Drug Information Service (DIS) is an activity provided by pharmacists to patients. However, some aspects of DIS are often not implemented, resulting in non-compliance and failure of therapy in patients. Health center pharmacists often do not explain to patients about the side effects, interactions and contraindications of drugs. This study aims to determine the implementation of drug information services in health care facilities in two health centers in Karanganyar Regency, namely Colomadu II and Jaten II Health Centers. This study is a cross-sectional study conducted in July and August 2023 at two health centers in Karanganyar Regency, Indonesia, namely Colomadu II and Jaten II Health Centers. This study used a survey questionnaire given to patients seeking treatment at Colomadu II and Jaten II Health Centers. This study involved a total of 50 participants, with the same number of respondents from both Colomadu II and Jaten II Health Centers. The results of this study indicate that the DIS given to patients at the Health Center, in six aspects of information, namely name, preparation, dosage, use, storage, drug indications have been (100%) conveyed, but four of the ten indicators, namely contraindications, stability, side effects, and drug interactions have not been provided optimally (below 100%). that there is no significant difference in the two health centers in each variable because the p value 0.05. Based on the results of statistical analysis, it was found that there was no significant difference in the implementation of Drug Information Services between Colomadu II and Jaten II Health Centers in the implementation of PIO drug storage (p = 1.00), drug contraindications (p = 0.556), drug stability (p = 0.728), drug side effects (p = 0.222), and drug interactions (p = 0.095). This needs to be a concern for Pharmacists and pharmacy staff at the Health Center to support the safety of drug use and successful treatment.

Abstract

Indonesia is a tropical country that has a fairly high exposure to sunlight, but excessive sun exposure can cause skin damage such as dry skin with prevalence of 41,2% to 99,1% in the elderly adult population  . Therefore, it is necessary to make products that function to moisturize the skin. Yellow pumpkin is an alternative ingredient that can be used as a skin moisturizer because it contains flavonoid compounds, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and triterpenoids. The novelty in this study is that no one has researched yellow pumpkin fruit extract cream as a facial moisturizer, different measurement methods, substitution of ingredients in the formula from VCO to MCT and the addition of preservatives and fragrances. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of facial moisturizers, yellow pumpkin fruit extract creams, and the physical quality of preparations. In this study, the researcher used an experimental method. The extraction process uses a maceration method with a solvent of 96%, then a cream formula is made with a concentration of yellow pumpkin fruit extract of 5%, 10%, and 15%. The evaluation of facial moisturizing cream preparations includes organoleptis tests, homogeneity tests, pH tests, dispersion tests, adhesion tests, viscosity tests, and irritation tests. The tool used to measure skin moisture is Skin Analyzer CR-302 by looking at the percentage of moisture. The results of the effectiveness test of yellow pumpkin extract facial moisturizing cream (Cucurbita moschata D) for 28 days of use had a moisture percentage of 44.00% at an extract concentration of 5%, 48.67% at an extract concentration of 10%, and 55.00% at an extract concentration of 15%. The higher the concentration of the extract, the better the moisture level. The results of the effectiveness test of yellow pumpkin fruit extract cream preparations (Cucurbita moschata D) have effectiveness as a skin moisturizer with a sig value (0.008 0.050). The conclusion showed that the preparation of the moisturizing cream of yellow pumpkin fruit extract (Cucurbita moschata D) with the best concentration at a concentration of 15%. The preparation of the moisturizing cream of yellow pumpkin fruit extract (Cucurbita moschata D) meets the requirements of the evaluation test.
