Abstract

Skin aging caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet is known as photoaging. The mechanism underlying skin photoaging relates to collagen degradation in the extracellular matrix (ECM) by overexpression of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (MMP-1). Gallic acid is a phenolic antioxidant found in many types of plants and can be used as an anti-photoaging agent due to its antioxidant activity. This study aims to determine the potential effect of gallic acid as an anti-photoaging against MMP-1 using in silico molecular docking. The stages included gallic acid structure optimization using the HyperChem 8, preparation of protein target MMP-1 (PDB ID: 966C) using the Chimera1.10.1, validation the molecular docking protocol, and docking gallic acid on MMP-1 with the Autodock 1.5.6. The results showed that gallic acid had an affinity for MMP-1 with a binding energy of -6.0 kcal/mol. There are similar amino acid residues in hydrogen bonds between the native ligand RS2 with MMP-1 and gallic acid with MMP-1, namely ALA 182, LEU 181, and HIS 218. The results suggest that gallic acid has the potential as the anti-photoaging agent through the inhibition of the MMP-1 enzyme.

Abstract

COVID-19 infection induces inflammation by increasing cytokines such as IL-1b, IL-6, IL-18, IFN-γ, and TNF-α. IL-1b is generated by the involvement of caspase-1. Therefore, caspase-1 inhibitor can be potential for inflammation therapy caused by COVID-19 infection. This study aims to determine the potential of blumeatin and luteolin as anti-inflammatory agents by inhibiting caspase-1 using a molecular docking approach. This study was carried out by caspase-1 (PDB ID: 1RWK) preparation, blumeatin and luteolin structure optimization, docking protocol validation, and docking of blumeatin and luteolin on caspase-1. Bluematin and luteolin had a binding affinity of -5,63 kcal/mol and -5,93 kcal/mol, lower than Q158 native ligand (-3.92 kcal/mol). Similar amino acid residues in hydrogen bonds interaction were observed between Q158 native ligand, blumeatin, and luteolin with caspase-1 (GLN 283 and ARG 179). Blumeatin and luteolin are potentially anti-inflammation agents through the inhibition of the caspase-1 in silico.

Abstract

Hyperpigmentation is a skin problem caused by excessive melanin production due to continuous ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Kojic acid inhibiting melanin synthesis by tyrosinase enzyme is a prevalent treatment for hyperpigmentation. This study aims to determine the potential of chlorogenic acid and kojic acid as an anti-hyperpigmentation against tyrosinase using in silico molecular docking. The docking process involved optimizing chlorogenic acid and kojic acid structures, preparing tyrosinase protein (PDB ID: 5M8O), validating the molecular docking method, and docking of chlorogenic acid and kojic acid on tyrosinase. The binding energy of chlorogenic acid and kojic acid were -4.59 kcal/mol and -3.75 kcal/mol, while the binding energy of 0TR native ligand was -5.02 kcal/mol. The interaction of chlorogenic acid to tyrosinase involved ARG 321 and ARG 374 residues. The results suggest that chlorogenic acid and kojic acid has the potential as anti-hyperpigmentation agents through inhibition of the tyrosinase enzyme.

Abstract

A green coffee bean contains phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant activity, such as chlorogenic acid. Fermentation is one of the ways to increase the antioxidant activity of coffee beans by using microorganisms. This review aims to study the antioxidant activity of fermented green coffee beans and the factors involved in the fermentation process. We selected original research articles providing data on the antioxidant activity of fermented green coffee beans published from 2015 to 2021. Fermented green coffee beans shows stronger antioxidant activity compared to the controls. The amount of substrate, yeast (as a starter), and fermentation duration influence the antioxidant activity of the fermented green coffee beans. The fermented green coffee beans with yeast had significantly higher antioxidant activity than those in unfermented coffee.

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

Soy-based beverages offer numerous health benefits, but the presence of lipoxygenases causes an unpleasant off-flavor sensation that hinders acceptability. The addition of a suitable flavoring agent has been shown to enhance the acceptability of soy-based beverages. This study aimed to investigate preferences towards two flavored variants of soy-based beverages: original chocolate made from cocoa powder and vanilla made from vanilla essence. Before comparing the sensory parameters, which included appearance, taste, odor, texture, and overall assessment, the ratio of basic components such as soy and cow milk powder, sugar, and maltodextrin was studied. Fifty-seven untrained panelists evaluated the three flavored variants of soy-based beverages. The chocolate-flavored soy-based beverage received a significantly higher score in taste, odor, texture, and overall assessment (α = 0.05). Hence, adding cocoa powder as a flavoring agent in soy-based beverages effectively improved the sensory attributes.
