Abstract

Caffeine consumption by pregnant women at doses above 300 mg/day was suggested to cause skeletal damage. Propolis with high flavonoids concentration could increase the number of osteoblasts. This research aims to evaluate the effect of propolis and milk administration on fetal skeletal of caffeine-induced female mice (Mus musculus). Mice were divided into six groups: negative group, positive group of caffeine (a dose of 75 mg/kg BW), positive group of propolis (a dose of 1400 mg/kg BW), positive group of milk (200 ml), group D1 (caffeine 75 mg/kg BW and propolis 1400 mg/kg BW) and group D2 (caffeine 75 mg/kg BW and milk 200 ml). Data were processed using one-way ANOVA. The results showed that administration of propolis and milk on caffeine-induced mice during pregnancy does not affect the mice body weight, the number of fetuses and fetal weight significantly (P> 0.05). No skeletal defects detected in group D1 and D2 (observation with Alizarin solution) compared to the negative group. In conclusion, the admnistration of propolis at the dose of 1400 mg/kg BW and 200 ml of milk can repair skeletal damage caused by caffeine induction.

Abstract

Biohydrogel has gathered great interest in the pharmaceuticals field. This natural polymers were biodegradable, non-toxic, biocompatible, and its specific ability to response environment change can be considered for the controlled released matric of bioactive compound. In this study, the biohydrogel was synthesized by graft-copolymerization of acrylic acid onto carboxymethyl starch (CMS) and chitosan. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of CMS-chitosan ratio on the biohydrogel characteristic. The acrylic acid was grafted on to the backbone (3:1) using cerric ammonium nitrate as the inisiator.A standarded curcumin was applied to test the binding potency of matrix. A higher CMS ratio in the polymer mixture (4:1) revealed the highest swelling power (16.9 w/w) and percentage of curcumin absorption (17.34%). All samples have pH-responsive swelling properties, with the swelling trend was observed in the order of distilled water >HCl solution > phosphate buffer solution. FTIR spectra and SEM micrographs has confirmed the graft-copolymerization of PAA/CMSCs biohydrogel by describing the appearance of peak around 1600 cm-1and the morphology of granular structure, respectively. The graft-copolymerization of acrylic acid onto the two anionic natural polymer by cerric ammonium nitrate as the initiator has resulted a pH-dependent swelling biohydrogel, and it has the ability to deliver curcumin in stomach-targeted system.

Abstract

A cough is a protective physiological mechanism that is useful for removing and clearing the respiratory tract from sputum and foreign particles that can cause infection. Treatments for cough disorders using medicinal plants were conducted because medicinal plants were widely known to have less side effects than synthetic drugs. Basil leaves (Ocimum sanctum L.) and red betel leaves (Piper crocatum Ruiz and Pav) have been used traditionally to treat a cough. The purpose of this study was to determine the mucolytic activity, and the effective concentration of the combination of basil and red betel leaves ethanol extract. The mucolytic activity was performed by measuring the decrease of viscosity of mucous from the cow intestinal mucosa. Mucolytic activity was evaluated upon treatment by each extract (concentration 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1%) and the combination of both. Results showed that ethanol extract of basil leaves or ethanol extract of red betel leaves could reduce viscosity of artificial sputum at the dose of 0.5% each. Moreover, the combination of these extracts synergistically decreases the viscosity. Combination of ethanol extract of basil leaves and red betel can be an alternative medicine for cough treatment.

Abstract

The combined use of natural materials and antibiotic compound is one of treatment that can be done against infections caused by bacteria. This combination is expected to be more potent to inhibit the bacteria with lower side effects. FICI (Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index) is an index that can indicate the activity of a combination of natural ingredients and antibiotic compounds. FICI would indicate that the combination has a synergistic effect, additive, indifferent or antagonistic. The aim of this study is to determine the FICI to the combination of Aloe vera leaves skin (Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f.) ethanol extract and gentamicin sulphate againts Escherichia coli. FICI was determined by disc diffusion method. Combination of Aloe vera leaves skin (Aloe vera(L.) Burm.f.) ethanol extract and gentamicin sulphate with concentration of 1.25 mg/mL + 2,5 µg/mL was not form zone of inhibition; while the concentration of 2.5 mg/ml + 5 µg/ mL formed zone of inhibition of 6.95 mm; 6.75 mm; and 6.65 mm. The results showed that the combination of Aloe vera leaves skin (Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f.) ethanol extract and gentamicin sulphate against the Escherichia coli has the indifference effect on Escherichia coli, and FICI to this combination is 2.
