Abstract

Bidara arab leaf (Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Desf) is one of the plants that have the potential as an anti-acne. The content of secondary metabolites contained in bidara arab leaves include alkaloids, polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. These secondary metabolites can inhibit the growth of acne causing bacteria, namely Propionibacterium acnes. The purpose of this study was to create a good gel dosage form of the ethanol extract of bidara arab leaves and to test the antibacterial activity of the gel formulation against Propionibacterium acne. This research method was carried out experimentally on a laboratory scale, namely ethanol extract of bidara arab leaves made in the form of anti-acne gel preparations with several concentration, including F1(1%), F2 (3%), and F3 (5%). Then proceed with the evaluation of the preparation with organoleptic test, homogenity test, pH test, adhesion test, and dispersion test. Anti-acne gel preparations had antibacterial activity based on a concentration of 1% of 12.46 mm (strong), 3% of 13.66 mm (strong), and 5% of 14.71 mm (strong), negative control had no inhibition zone and positive control 20.92 mm (very strong). strong) So, it can be included that the formulation of anti-acne gel preparations able to inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes.

Abstract

Orange purut leaves (Citrus hystrix) are one of the shrubs that have high economic value because they contain vitamin C and are often used as a food flavoring. The aim of this research is to determine whether orange purut leaf extract contains phytochemicals and to characterize the properties of orange purut leaf extract. Phytochemical screening of orange purut leaf extract (Citrus hystrix) included the examination of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids/triterpenoids, alkaloids, and glycosides. Phytochemical screening was conducted on both simplicia powder and simplicia extract, and characterization of the simplicia was carried out. The water content of orange purut leaves was found to be 8%, the water-soluble juice content was 37.9%, the ethanol-soluble juice content was 19%, the total ash content was 7.6%, and the acid-insoluble ash content was 0.6%. Orange purut leaf extract positively contains alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids/triterpenoids, and glycosides.

Abstract

Antioxidants play a crucial role in neutralizing free radicals, thereby helping to prevent cell damage and maintain overall health. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the aqueous fraction of Tetanus (Leea aequata L.) leaf extract using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The extraction process was carried out through maceration using ethanol as a solvent, followed by aqueous fractionation. Antioxidant activity was measured based on the extract’s ability to scavenge DPPH free radicals, expressed as the IC₅₀ value. The results showed that the aqueous fraction of Tetanus leaf extract exhibited high antioxidant activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 30.23 mg/L. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents in the aqueous fraction were 460.70 mg GAE/100g and 12,621.14 mg QE/100g, respectively. These findings align with pre vious studies indicating that the ethanolic extract of Leea angulata leaves also possesses strong antioxidant activity with a similar IC₅₀ value. Therefore, the aqueous fraction of Tetanus leaf extract has the potential to be an effective natural antioxidant source and can be further developed as a raw material for health supplements or pharmaceutical products.

Abstract

Antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections are caused by the opportunistic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The purpose of this study is to use the disc diffusion method to assess the antibacterial efficacy of Tetanus (Leea aequata L.) leaf ethanol extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antibacterial activity was evaluated at 25%, 50%, and 75% concentrations after the leaves were extracted by maceration with 96% ethanol. The findings indicated that the antibacterial activity was depending on concentration, with respective minimum inhibition level measuring 12.97 mm, 16.7 mm, and 21.06 mm. The negative control (DMSO) displayed no inhibition zone, but the positive control (gentamicin) displayed KHM measuring 25.03 mm. The data distribution did not differ significantly, according to statistical analysis (p > 0.05). Bioactive substances that can harm bacterial cell structures, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins, were thought to be responsible for this antibacterial action. According to these results, tetanus leaf extract may be used as a natural antibacterial agent and as a substitute for antibiotics in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections

Abstract

Degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, stroke, and cancer, are increasingly common in modern society, with free radicals as one of the main causes. Both natural and artificial sources of antioxidants are available. However, natural antioxidants are a better choice due to concerns over the negative effects of synthetic antioxidants. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract from titanus (leea aequata L.) leaves using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. titanus leaves are known to contain secondary metabolites that have potential as antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenols. This type of research is an experimental method. The extraction process was carried out by maceration method using 96% ethanol, followed by fractionation using solvents with different polarities to obtain ethyl acetate fraction. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction showed the ability as a free radical antidote with an IC50 value of 11.309 ppm, which indicates significant antioxidant activity. These results indicate that titanus leaf extract has the potential to be used as a source of natural antioxidants in the prevention of degenerative diseases.

Abstract

Free radicals play an important role in oxidative stress, which can lead to a number of degenerative diseases, including heart disease, cancer and premature aging. Natural and artificial ingredients can be used to make antioxidants. The use of synthetic antioxidants is starting to be limited because excessive use can cause negative side effects, such as the accumulation of toxins in the body. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity of tetanus (Leea aequata L.) leaf extract using DPPH method. Free radicals generated during metabolism can cause cell damage and contribute to various degenerative diseases. Therefore, it is important to find effective sources of antioxidants. In this study, Tetanus leaves were extracted using 96% ethanol solvent through maceration method. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring the IC50 value against DPPH radical. The results showed that tetanus leaf extract had an IC50 value of 39.484 ppm, which indicated significant antioxidant activity. These results indicate that tetanus leaf extract can function as a free radical scavenging agent, which could potentially serve as a raw material in the development of herbal medicine to prevent oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that requires appropriate drug management to achieve optimal blood glucose control. Appropriateness of drug and dose is essential to ensure the effectiveness of therapy. while cost-effectiveness analysis is needed to assess the efficiency of resource use in its management. This study aims to assess the appropriateness of the use of drugs and doses of type 2 antidiabetics based on PERKENI 2021 clinical guidelines and analyze the cost-effectiveness of therapy in hospitalized patients. This study used a retrospective descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted in January-February 2025 using purposive sampling technique.The result of the 43 patients. the majority were female (55.8%) and aged 56-65 years (48.8%). The suitability of drug use in accordance with PERKENI 2021 reached 100%. but there was a dose discrepancy of 1.36%. namely the drug sitagliptin. Based on ACER and ICER parameters. the most cost-effective monotherapy is Glimepirid with an effectiveness value of 100%. an ACER value of IDR 83.886.43. while the most cost-effective combination therapy is Pioglitazon + metformin with an effectiveness value of 100%. an ACER value of IDR 100.639.21 and an ICER value of IDR 76.734.39 and IDR 13.317.37. Most of the therapies are in accordance with the PERKENI 2021 guidelines. but dosage accuracy still needs to be improved.
