Abstract

Virgin coconut oil (VCO) and crude palm oil (CPO) are products of Indonesia’s natural wealth with significant antioxidant activity and potential as lip balm sticks to treat dry lips caused by sun exposure. This study aims to determine the formulation of lip balm stick preparations containing VCO and CPO that have sunscreen activity and acceptable physical characteristics. This study included the phases of testing, formulation of lip balm stick, sunscreen activity test, and evaluation of physical properties. The compositions were melted using a water bath, and the sunscreen’s efficacy was evaluated using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. VCO and CPO concentrations varied between 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15% (w/w). The F1 formula containing 5% VCO and 15% CPO (w/w) had the highest sun protection factor (SPF) value of 15.438. The evaluation of the formula activity test revealed that the higher the CPO content, the greater the sunscreen activity. Formula F1 has stable physical properties while stored at room temperature for 28 days. Formula F1 has a yellow color, chocolate scent, semi-solid consistency, homogeneous, 3.35 cm dispersion, 56 oC melting point, and 64-gram hardness. Formula F1 provides excellent sun protection and physical properties. It may be further evaluated as a lip balm stick sunscreen formulation for chapped lips.

Abstract

Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors have significantly improved the prognosis for patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer, including those with metastatic or advanced breast cancer (mBC/ABC). Recent research has focused on developing CDK4/6 inhibitors with diverse structural frameworks, including isatin-based compounds. Isatin and its derivatives have shown promise in inhibiting CDK4/6, with potential efficacy against breast cancer cell lines. Studies have also indicated that isatinyl-2-aminobenzoylhydrazone (ISABH) complexes, particularly those with transition metals like nickel (Ni-ISABH), exhibit strong binding affinities to CDK6 and fulfill key pharmacokinetic criteria.

Abstract

Candles can serve a dual purpose of not only providing light but also acting as a means of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy, which involves the use of essential oils, such as calamansi peel (Citrus x microcarpa Bunge), is an alternative form of treatment. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal concentration of essential oil, evaluate the characteristics of aromatherapy candles, and assess their appeal. The pre-experimental technique employed a one-time case study/post-test design, with soy wax used as the candle's wax base. The preference test for aromatherapy candles involved 30 untrained individuals. The candles exhibited a uniform color, with no cracks, defects, fractures, or air bubbles. The candle with a 3% formulation demonstrated the longest burning time and quickest melting point. Furthermore, candles containing 3% essential oil were preferred both before and during burning. Additionally, this formulation displayed the fragrance promptly, with the quickest perceived effect time.

Abstract

Photoaging occurs when the skin ages due to ultraviolet light exposure. Phenolic compounds generally possess antioxidant activity, which helps prevent the formation of free radicals caused by sunlight exposure. This study explores the potential of pinostrobin and pinocembrin as antiphotoaging agents through molecular docking against matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs): MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9. We utilized Hyperchem 8 to prepare and optimize the test compound and Chimera 1.11.1 for protein preparation. Validation and docking procedures were conducted using the AutoDockTools 1.5.6 application, with validation confirming that the method was valid with an RMSD value ≤ 3 Å. Both pinostrobin and pinocembrin exhibited an affinity for the target protein, although their affinity was slightly less than that of the native ligand and retinol. In conclusion, pinostrobin and pinocembrin demonstrate an affinity for MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9, indicating their potential as anti-photoaging agents by obstructing the mechanisms of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9.

Abstract

This study explores the interaction of rutin, catechins, and epicatechins with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and caspase-3, focusing on their potential role in modulating the apoptotic mechanisms in colorectal cancer cells. The experimental approach included the preparation of ALK (PDB ID: 5USQ) and caspase-3 (PDB ID: 2XZT), validation of the docking process, optimization of the test compounds, and docking analyses. The molecular docking methodology was validated with an RMSD value of ≤ 3 Å. The docking outcomes revealed that rutin, catechins, and epicatechin exhibited lower binding affinity to ALK, with binding energies of -8.58 kcal/mol, -8.41 kcal/mol, and -7.82 kcal/mol, respectively, compared to ALK's native ligand (-10.27 kcal/mol). Conversely, these compounds demonstrated higher affinity to caspase-3 than its native ligand (-2.54 kcal/mol), with binding energies of -6.03 kcal/mol for rutin, -5.28 kcal/mol for catechins, and -4.95 kcal/mol for epicatechin. These findings suggest that rutin, catechins, and epicatechins hold promise as colorectal anticancer agents by potentially modulating the activity of ALK and caspase-3 through inhibition and activation mechanisms, respectively.
