Abstract

We examined antiimplantation effect of ethanol extract from ripening burahol flesh (Stelechocarpus burahol Hook f. & Thomson) using doses 1g and 0.5g per Kg Body Weight (BW) on White Female Rats Wistar Strain. The ethanol extract was given orally on daily basis from diestrus phase until 7th day of pregnancy. Two parameter used in this investigation were number of implants and number of born fetus. The fetus were examined by observing their morphology to identify the existence of teratogenic effect. The result showed that the two doses reduced both the number of implants and born fetus significantly. In addition, the burahol flesh as an antifertility agent has two functions: as antiimplantation and abortifacient. Lastly morphological examination on the fetus did not show any teratogenic effect.

Abstract

The influence of Avicel PH 102 as disintegrant on physical characteristic and dissolution rate of piroxicam Orally Disintegrating Tablet prepared by direct compression method was observed in this research. Concentration of Avicel PH 102 used were 5%, 10%, 15% and 0% as a control. Physical characteristics of the powder blend including flow rate and angle of repose showed good attributes. The powder blend was pressed into tablet by hydraulic press with a pressure of 1 ton and diameter of 8 mm. The physical characteristic of piroxicam orally disintegrating tablet including hardness, friability, disintegration time, and dissolution rate were examined. The hardness of all formulas were between 0,99 – 2,78 kP, friability were between 3,45% – 1,25%, disintegration time were between 223,67– 18,33 sec and drug released at 45 minutes were between 32,71%– 88,63%. The results showed that increasing the concentration of Avicel PH 102 would increase the hardness, and dissolution rate and decrease the friability and disintegration time of piroxicam orally disintegrating tablet . From statistical analysis (µ = 0,05), it could be seen that there was significant difference in physical characteristics and dissolution rate of all formulas. Among all formulas, it could be concluded that formula with 10% concentration of Avicel PH 102 was the optimum formula

Abstract

Antioxidant has been known to have an important role in the prevention and treatment of diseases. In recent years, many plants have been explored to obtain new antioxidants from natural products. Rice has been known rich in antioxidative compounds. However, there is little attention to the co- or by- products from rice (Oryza sativa) milling plant. One of the products is rice bran. In this study ten varieties of rice bran, which are commonly cultivated varieties in Indonesia were studied their antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. The antioxidant activity was examined by DPPH scavenging assay and total reducing power, while total phenolic content was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. The results of this study showed that the methanolic extract of IR-64 variety demonstrated the strongest DPPH radical scavenger activity with IC50 350.64 ppm, while in reducing power activity was exhibited by methanolic extract of IR-42 variety. However, the highest total phenolic content (71.85 mg gallic acid equivalent/gram) was found in methanolic extract of OM-4495 rice bran. These result indicated that the methanolic extract of rice bran might potentially be natural antioxidants.

Abstract

Eleusine indica Linn. Gaerth or Indian goose grass has been widely used as an alternative natural anti-hypertensive agent. However, the rationale behind this mechanism is still unknown. The purpose of this study is to confirm the presence of functional groups that may be responsible for its ACE inhibitory activity and its possible synergism. Each solvent-portioned fraction was analyzed by FTIR, individual ACE inhibitory activity, and combination of fractions. FTIR results of solvent- partitioned fractions revealed that O-H and C-H stretches were present in all fractions. In addition to this, C-O and C=O groups were also present in all fractions except in ethyl acetate. S=O groups were also present in chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol fractions. Other function groups such as N-O and C=C groups were present in ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions, respectively. The highest % inhibition obtained among the individual fraction is n-butanol at 96.031 % ± 0.004 at 500 ug/ml. The lowest % inhibition obtained among the individual fraction is chloroform at 32.544 % ± 0.011 at 500 ug/ml. The highest % inhibition among the combined fractions is ethyl acetate:butanol at 95.727% ± 20.847, while the lowest % inhibition in combination is hexane:chloroform at 89.626 % ± 19.577. The fraction with the lowest IC50 is hexane at 15.357, while the highest IC50 is chloroform at 168.207 ug/ml. Functional group present may be associated with the antihypertensive activity of the E. indica extracts. The more polar solvent-partitioned fractions of E. indica has a higher ACE inhibitory activity compared to its less polar solvent- partitioned fractions. The higher ACE inhibitory activity may be associated with the secondary metabolites present in the more polar fractions. There is also possible synergism present in the combined solvent-partitioned fractions as their % inhibition is higher than their individual effects.

Abstract

Cancer is a major health issue around the globe. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are no longer the standard treatments for patients as these remedies lead to many adverse effects. Thus, the development of alternative effective drugs from lead compounds, especially natural products is necessary. This study aimed to isolate cytotoxic phytochemical constituents from a plant Calophyllum inophyllum, which has been used as traditional medicine since ancient time. The root of C. inophyllum was extracted and subjected for phytochemical constituent isolation. A coumarin, benjaminin (1) was isolated successfully from the chloroform extract and its structural elucidation was performed by spectroscopy analyses of MS, IR and NMR. The anti-proliferative effect of 1 on four cancer cell lines, leukemia (K562), stomach (SNU-1), liver (Hep-G2) and lung (NCI-H23) cancers were evaluated by using colorimetric MTT assay. Benjaminin (1) exhibited cytotoxic effects towards all cancer cells and showed the strongest inhibition towards SNU-1 cell proliferation with an IC50 value of 70.42 μM. The outcome of this study revealed that 1 is a potential cytotoxic lead compound that could be further developed into anti-cancer drug. Thus, the study on the structure-activity relationship of 1 is highly recommended in due course to improve its anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells.

Abstract

The accurate measurement of thymidine absorbance in the presence of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) in ethanol and water systems at room temperature by UV-vis technique has been reported. The AOT concentrations varied from 0.0005 to 0.014 [mol/L] in ethanol whereas from 0.0002 to 0.042 [mol/L] in water. The concentration of thymidine was 0.0073 [mol/L] during UV-vis spectrum registration. The thymidine spectrum was examined in the presence of AOT concentration. Using a statistical method of non-linear regression (NLREG), thymidine binding and thymidine distribution constants were evaluated. A noticeable decrease in thymidine absorbance in the presence of AOT concentration was shown in the water system; whereas, in the ethanol system, just the opposite trend has been found. The results are discussed in the context of binding and distribution constants in the studied systems.

Abstract

A series of new core-shell fibers were developed containing anticancer drugs (5-fluorouracil or ferulic acid) and their cyclodextrin inclusion complexes, with a gadolinium-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. These were prepared by electrospinning, a simple method for producing ultra-fine fibers through the application of a strong electrostatic force on a polymer solution. The shell of the fibers was formed from Eudragit S100, and the drugs were loaded in the core. Scanning electron microscopy images showed the formation of smooth ribbon-like fibers, with diameters ranging from 1.4 to 5.1 μm, and transmission electron microscopy reveals a transparent interface between the core and shell compartments. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry data confirmed the encapsulation of the drug into the cyclodextrin cavity and the formation of amorphous solid dispersions in the fibers. Drug release from the systems at pH 1 and 7 showed that all the drug loading was released within one hour at pH 1. Based on these results, it is proposed that the relatively low molecular weight drugs were able to diffuse out of the system into the release medium at acidic pH, despite the insolubility of the shell polymer under these conditions. These findings have important implications for the design of electrospun drug delivery systems.
