Abstract

The study of the combination of herbal plant extracts has become the subject of intensive research to increase the effectiveness of antibacterials in the application of traditional medicine utilization. The study of the combination of herbal plant extracts has become the subject of intensive research to increase the effectiveness of antibacterials in the application of traditional medicine utilization. This study aims to determine the inhibitory power of the combination of medicinal plant ethanol extracts, namely the combination of bidara leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana L.): suruhan herb (Peperomia pellucida L. Kunth); and basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum Linn.):suruhan herb (Peperomia pellucida L. Kunth) against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. This study is an experimental laboratory study with phytochemical testing, microbiological testing using the disc diffusion method, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the inhibitory power of the combination of medicinal plant ethanol extracts, namely the combination of bidara leaves:suruhan herb and basil leaves:suruhan herb, against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. The results of the phytochemical test showed that the extracts of bidara leaves, basil leaves, and suruhan herbs contain secondary metabolite compounds, namely alkaloids, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, and phenolics. The combination of suruhan herb:bidara leaves (HS:DB) and suruhan herb: basil leaves (HS:DK) extracts has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, as indicated by the formation of an inhibition zone in each comparison. The mix of HS:DB and HS:DK extracts is the most effective at killing Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, with an inhibition zone diameter of 16.07 mm for HS:DB and 15.5 mm for HS:DK. The average area of the inhibition zone is half the area of the inhibition zone in the positive control (ciprofloxacin), with an average of 32.70 mm. The results of the one-way ANOVA test continued with the Duncan test, which stated that each single treatment and combination of extracts were able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, which showed a P value of 0.05.

Abstract

The sun emits ultraviolet radiation and can produce free radicals. If these free radicals continue to come into contact with the skin excessively, they can damage cells and eventually cause cancer. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a substance that protects the skin from ultraviolet rays. The capacity of a product to shield the skin is indicated by its SPF rating. Soap is a type of formulation that individuals frequently utilize. Red betel leaf extract can protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals and is expected to increase the soap's ability to protect the skin from exposure to sunlight and maintain skin health. The methods include making transparent soap, testing physical quality, and determining the sun protection coefficient at various red betel leaf ethanol extract concentrations. The result is a transparent black-green soap with a pH of 9, a foam height of 57-65 mm, and a water content of <15%. At a concentration of ethanol extract of 0%, the SPF value is 3, and the SPF values are 7.5 (10%), 12.28 (30 and 50%), 18.2 (70%), and 25 (90%). From this information, it can be inferred that clear soap created with red betel leaf extract possesses excellent physical attributes and effectively protects against sun exposure.

Abstract

Cancer is one of the biggest health problems in the world, including in Indonesia. Previous studies have found that DHPM compounds have various pharmacological activities such as anticancer, antifungal, antibacterial, antituberculosis, and antioxidant. Based on this potential, it is interesting to conduct further research with the aim of synthesizing and developing new Dihydropyrimidinone (DHPM) compound derivatives that have potential as anticancer. The synthesis of DHPM derivatives was carried out to obtain ethyl 4-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (M1). Then the compound was developed by Mitsunobu reaction using a sonicator to obtain a new compound ethyl 4-(3,5-dimethyl-4-phenoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (C2) which will be tested for cytotoxic activity against T47D cancer cells. Characterization of the compound was done using FT-IR, LC-MS, and melting point. Cytotoxic test against T47D cells as anticancer agent using MTT method [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay. The test results of compound C2 had cytotoxic activity with IC50 of 202.22 µg/mL. The results showed that compound C2 has cytotoxic activity but it is mild because the IC50 produced is high. These findings suggest that compound C2 has anticancer potential, but further structure optimization is needed to increase its effectiveness.

Abstract

Cisplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapy agent used for the treatment of various types of cancer. However, the use of cisplatin as a chemotherapy agent is limited by drug resistance and side effects due to the formation of inactive metabolites from the conjugation reaction between cisplatin and Glutathione S-Transferase (GST). Thus, Glutathione (GSH) and Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) are essential in controlling cisplatin resistance. This study aims to evaluate the use of a combination of cisplatin with GSH-depleting agents and GST inhibitors to overcome or reduce cisplatin resistance in various cancer cell types in vitro and enhance cisplatin's cytotoxic activity. This research was conducted using a systematic literature review method, with a literature search across two international databases, PubMed and Science Direct, for publications from 2013 to 2024. From 15 selected journals, various GSH-depleting agents and GST inhibitors were found to improve the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin, as analyzed based on data on the levels of GSH and GST in the cells and the percentage of viable cells (% cell viability), which showed a significant decrease. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights into the development of cancer therapies using cisplatin as a chemotherapy agent.

Abstract

Tonsillitis is an inflammation and swelling of the palatine tonsils, which is part of an upper respiratory tract infection. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are approximately 287,000 cases of tonsillitis in children under 15 years of age. In Indonesia, the prevalence of tonsillitis is reported to be 214,666 cases, or about 23%. Several factors increase the risk of developing tonsillitis, such as age, food consumption, oral hygiene, and environmental factors. This study aims to examine the relationship between age, food consumption, and oral hygiene with tonsillitis symptoms in children at SDN 1 Banda Sakti, Lhokseumawe City. This is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires completed by 100 children, selected using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The results showed that the majority of respondents were between 6 and 9 years old, female, had risky food consumption habits, maintained good oral hygiene, and exhibited symptoms of tonsillitis. The Chi-square test results indicated a significant relationship between age and tonsillitis symptoms (p = 0.001), food consumption and tonsillitis symptoms (p = 0.025), and oral hygiene and tonsillitis symptoms (p = 0.026). These findings suggest a significant relationship between age, food consumption, and oral hygiene with tonsillitis symptoms in children at SDN 1 Banda Sakti, Lhokseumawe City.

Abstract

Background: 4T1 breast cancer is a type of Triple-Negative murine breast cancer (TNBC) that has a strong ability to metastasise. Plant metabolite compounds are one of the strategies that must be explored to develop breast cancer treatments. Red ginger rhizome is one of the candidate plants that have anticancer activity. Previously, cytotoxic studies have been conducted on Widr and HeLa cancer cells. However, research on breast cancer cells is still lacking, so it needs to be developed. Materials and Methods: This study aims to determine the potential cytotoxicity in vitro using the MTT test. The red ginger rhizome extract is obtained by maceration using 96% ethanol solvent, which is then analysed for secondary metabolite compounds. Results: The results showed that red ginger rhizome extract contains flavonoids, phenolic, alkaloid, saponin, and tannin compounds. While in the cytotoxic test, red ginger rhizome extract and doxorubicin have good cytotoxic potential with IC50 values of 69.86 µg/ml and 0.4 µg/ml, respectively. The red ginger rhizome extract and doxorubicin are classified as active and highly active cytotoxics. Conclusion: It can be concluded that red ginger rhizome extract shows cytotoxic potential as a therapeutic candidate that can inhibit the growth of 4T1 breast cancer cells by 50%. Therefore, red ginger rhizome extract has the potential to be further developed as a chemotherapeutic agent.
