Abstract

Acne is one of the skin problems that, without our realizing it, can reduce self-confidence, despair, and even depression among teenagers and young adults. The incidence of bacterial infections is increasing with the increasing cases of resistance of bacteria, such as Propionibacterium acnes, to the side effects of anti-acne drugs. Indonesia has many plants that are beneficial to humans and have properties for treating and improving health, one of which is the eggplant. The purpose of this study is to test whether eggplant has antibacterial activity against P. acnes. The eggplant was extracted using a maceration extraction method. For antibacterial activity, well diffusion agar was used with extract concentrations of 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%. The inhibition zones of the ethanol extract of S. melongena at 60%, 70%, and 80% concentrations were 13,76 mm, 18,63 mm, and 20,79 mm, respectively, with the highest inhibition zone at 90% concentration at 20,64 mm. The ethanolic extract of S. melongena has a strong inhibitory effect on P. acnes.  Keywords: antibacterial activity, Solanum melongena L, maceration, Propionibacterium acnes.

Abstract

Acne is a skin disorder characterized by inflammation in the form of comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules. The disease is caused by the gram-positive bacterium,  Propionibacterium acnes. Treatment of the disease using antibiotic agents such as erythromycin and clindamycin has been reported to cause some side effects. Therefore, alternative antibacterial agents derived from natural products are required to reduce the occurrence of side effects. Kipahit (Tithonia diversifolia A. Gray) is one of the plants with pharmacological activities, such as antibacterial and antiprotozoal activities. The aim of this study was to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a 96% ethanolic extract of kipahit leaves on the growth of P. acnes. Kipahit leaves were extracted through the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using the liquid dilution method. A serial dilution was performed to prepare a series of extract concentrations: 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.13%, 1.56%, 0.78%, and 0.39%. Whereas, clindamycin and DMSO 1% were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Phytochemical  screening showed  that  the 96% ethanolic extract of kipahit leaves contains flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, steroids/triterpenoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds. In addition, the extract showed   inhibitory activity against P. acnes at concentrations ranging from 25% to 1,56%. In contrast, the extract showed  no inhibitory activity at concentrations of 0.78% and 0.39%. Further experiments confirmed that kipahit leaf extract acted as a bacteriostatic agent (inhibiting bacterial growth) at a minimum concentration of 1.56%.  Keywords: Acne, Propionibacterium acnes, Kipahit, MIC

Abstract

Fever is a medical condition characterized by an increased body temperature beyond the normal range of 36 – 37°C. If not managed appropriately, fever may lead to complications in therapy. The conventional treatment for fever involves using antipyretics such as paracetamol/acetaminophen, and ibuprofen. However, prolonged use of these synthetic medications may have adverse side effects. Consequently, more patients are turning to herbal medicine to manage fever. This review aims to identify medicinal plants with pharmacological activity as antipyretics. We conducted a systematic literature review using Google Scholar as the search engine database. Our search keywords were “tanaman herbal”, “antipiretik", “penurun demam", and "uji aktivitas antipiretik". In this review, a total of 18 articles were meticulously analyzed. The collective findings from these studies demonstrated that all tested medicinal plants exhibited antipyretic activity. Flavonoids, tannins, and terpenoids were the primary constituents responsible for the observed antipyretic activity. Medicinal plants with alkaloids and steroid content were also believed to exhibit antipyretic activity. Keywords: fever, antipyretics, medicinal plants

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia furfur One of the microbes that can cause folliculitis is the inflammation of the skin in the hair follicles. The use of natural ingredients as antimicrobials must be developed as an alternative to overcome the resistance and side effects of chemical drugs. Tigarun (Crataeva magna DC.) is a typical plant in South Kalimantan that can be developed as a natural antimicrobial agent for the treatment of skin infections. Previous studies have reported that tigarun has antimicrobial activity, but no studies have reported its potential antimicrobial activity against folliculitis-causing microbes. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the antimicrobial activity of 96% ethanol extracts of the flowers, leaves, and stem bark of tigarun (Crataeva magna DC.) against microbes that cause folliculitis, including Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia furfur. Extraction was performed by the maceration method using 96% ethanol. The antimicrobial activities of the extracts were tested using the agar diffusion method. Based on the results of the antimicrobial activity test using the agar diffusion method, the tigarun flower extract showed better antimicrobial activity than the leaf and tigarun bark extracts. Flower extract activity at 200 mg/mL concentrations against Staphylococcus aureus (10.65 ± 0.25) and the fungus Malassezia furfur (7.40 ± 0.40) with moderate inhibition zone ketogenic  Keywords: Folliculitis, tigarun, antimicrobial, agar diffusion

Abstract

The prevalence of self-medication in Indonesia is 84.23%, a figure that has been increasing over the past three years. The increase in self-medication in Indonesia, the availability of drugs that can be taken alone without a doctor's prescription, the perception of mild illness, and the relatively low price of drugs. The potential risks of self-medication are incorrect diagnosis of disease, delay in seeking necessary treatment, disease becoming more severe, wrong method administration, and wrong dose. Knowledge of rational use of drug self-medication still lacks students at 55.5%. It is important to know that student self-medication, in which students can overcome minor complaints of their own illness, does not have an impact on health and academic achievement. The incidence of headaches in students is 11-40% and mild headache levels interfere with academic performance. This study measures level knowledge behavior  to determine the relationship between level knowledge and rational headache self-medication behavior  by students at Muhammadiyah Lamongan University. The research design was cross-sectional descriptive analytics. Data were collected using online questionnaires. The sample included 166 Fike students using a purposive sampling technique. The results indicated level of knowledge: students classified sufficient (59.0%) and rational head pain self-medication behavior  classified as good (57.8%). The results of the Spearman Rho test analysis showed a p-value of <0.001 and correlation coefficient of 0.256. This study concluded that there is a relationship between level of knowledge and rational headache self-medication behavior  with low correlation strength.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder present in the top ten diseases that cause death. Diabetes treatment usually uses conventional drugs, such as gliclazide, which is the first choice in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are intolerant to metformin. In addition to conventional medicine, herbal medicines are in great demand and have become a focus of research to obtain an alternative treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. One herb that has been widely used and studied is the bitter melon. This study aimed to determine the effects of bitter melon extract (BME) on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of gliclazide when used simultaneously. The study was conducted on three groups of rats with alloxan-induced diabetes. Group 1 received a single dose of gliclazide (33 mg/kg BW, n = 3), group 2 received aqueous extracts of bitter melon fruit (341 mg/kg BW, n = 4), and group 3 received a combination of gliclazide and an aqueous extract of bitter melon (n = 4). The pharmacokinetic profile of gliclazide is affected by BME, where interactions occur during the absorption phase. The blood glucose levels were measured using a glucometer. Decreased blood glucose levels following administration of gliclazide, extract of bitter melon, and a combination of gliclazide and extract of bitter melon 6 hours after dosing were 74.73%, 82.977%, and 86.457%, respectively. This study demonstrated the interactions between gliclazide and BME in the absorption phase of gliclazide and its effect on blood glucose levels.
