Abstract

Arabica Coffee Cascara (CKA) has high potential as a source of bioactive compounds such as chlorogenic acid, which has antioxidant activity. The release of active compound can be optimized by combining ultrasonic and enzymatic methods, which are more efficient and environmentally friendly. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of ultrasound-enzymatic-assisted extraction (UEAE) using water as a solvent for chlorogenic acid compound from CKA using Response Surface Methodology Box-Behnken Design (RSM_BBD). Three extraction parameters, such as sonication temperature (35-45°C), enzyme concentration (10-20 mg/g), and enzymolysis temperature (40-60°C), were designed to obtain optimal chlorogenic acid content. Based on the general trend data, results indicated that the highest chlorogenic acid content was 42.55 mg/g of dry extract, and was achieved under specific conditions: a sonication temperature of 40°C, an enzyme concentration of 10 mg/g, and an enzymolysis temperature of 60°C. Verification tests showed a value of 44.17 mg/g dry extract within the model’s prediction range with a 95% confidence level. The current quadratic RSM model with the existing factor design is not yet a reliable predictive tool and only serves to explore the range of operational extraction conditions.

Abstract

Acne is a skin disorder characterized by chronic inflammation involving the sebaceous glands and excessive bacterial colonization. Management of acne generally requires external treatment, focusing on maintaining facial hygiene using facial cleansers supported by the use of anti-acne products. Anti-acne creams are cosmetic products formulated with active ingredients that help prevent and treat acne. One of the active ingredients commonly used in such products to improve acne-prone skin conditions is retinoic acid. Based on BPOM RI 2007, that use of retinoic acid requires a doctor’s prescription. The purpose of this study to identify the levels of retinoic acid in anti-acne cream product circulating in the Blora regency area. Qualitative testing using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) method obtained 1 sample out of 5 containing retinoic acid. Based on the calculating of validation parameters, the equation Y = 0.1488x – 0.0026 with a correlation coefficient (r)of 0.993, exLOD 0.554 ppm, LOQ 1.681 ppm, %RSD 1.8895% and %Recovery 83.823 – 109.503%. The calculating of the levels in sample that positive for containing retinoic acid, sample E obtained at 0.103036%, which exceeds the limit established in the National Formulary.

Abstract

Noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) is traditionally consumed for diabetes, yet in vivo evidence for water-based infusion remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the antihyperglycemic effect of a standardized noni fruit infusion in alloxan-induced male mice. Dried fruit simplicia were quality-controlled according to the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia. Mice were induced with alloxan (140 mg/kg, i.p.) and randomized (n=5/group) to vehicle (0.5% Na-CMC), metformin (1.3 mg/20 g BW), or noni infusion at low (103), normal (123), or high (144 mg/20 g BW) for 21 days in two divided doses per day. Fasting blood glucose was measured at baseline, day 0, and days 7, 14, and 21. Paired t-tests assessed within-group changes, while between-group comparisons used one-way ANOVA with Levene’s test (Tukey HSD) and Welch ANOVA as sensitivity analysis. Phytochemical screening indicated alkaloids, saponins, triterpenoids, and flavonoids. All groups showed significant reductions from day 0 to day 21 (p<0.05). From day 0 to day 14, the normal-dose infusion decreased glucose by 45.7% (172.8 to 93.8 mg/dL), compared with 33.3% for metformin (134.0 to 89.4 mg/dL). By day 21, reductions were 48.3–49.6% in the normal/high-dose infusion groups and 36.4% with metformin. Between-group differences were evident at days 7 and 14 but not at day 21 (p>0.05). Standardized noni infusion exhibits antihyperglycemic activity in the alloxan model; confirmation of mechanisms, additional metabolic endpoints, and subchronic safety evaluation are required before clinical relevance can be inferred.

Abstract

Aromatherapy is a form of complementary therapy that utilizes plant-derived essential oils to support physical and mental health. Chamomile essential oil (Matricaria recutita) possesses a characteristic calming aroma and has been reported to exhibit various pharmacological activities, including antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and sedative effects. Rose essential oil (Rosa alba) is also known for its antidepressant and anxiolytic properties, as well as its potential to reduce blood pressure and alleviate sleep disorders, migraines, and stress. This study aims to determine the optimal composition of chamomile and rose essential oils in an aromatherapy medicated oil formulation based on its physical characteristics. The formulation employed olive oil and red palm oil as carrier bases due to their high antioxidant content, particularly vitamin E and carotenoids. Optimization was conducted using a Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) approach with eight combination formulations. The prepared formulations were evaluated for pH, specific gravity, and displaced volume. The results demonstrated that the combination of chamomile and rose essential oils significantly influenced the physical characteristics of the formulation. Based on the optimization of physical parameters (pH, specific gravity, and displaced volume) the optimal formulation was obtained with a composition of 1.5% chamomile essential oil and 1.5% rose essential oil. This formulation exhibited acceptable physical characteristics.

Abstract

The liver plays an important role in the metabolism and detoxification of harmful substances in the body. One of the drugs that can cause liver damage if used excessively is paracetamol. Liver damage due to paracetamol is characterized by an increase in the levels of AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) enzymes as well as a decrease in albumin levels in the blood. The bark of the jamblang tree (Syzygium cumini) contains flavonoid compounds, tannins, and triterpenoids that have antioxidant properties and may possess hepatoprotective effects. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the n-hexane fraction of jamblang bark on liver function parameters in male Wistar strain white rats induced with paracetamol, and to determine the most effective dose. This study involved 20 rats divided into five treatment groups: negative control (paracetamol 1000 mg/KgBB), positive control (silymarin 50 mg/KgBB), and three test groups that were given n-hexane fraction at graded doses (50, 100, and 200 mg/KgBB). The treatment was given for 21 days, while paracetamol was administered from day 15 to day 21. The results showed that the levels of AST and ALT were significantly affected by the n-hexane fraction of jamblang bark at a dose of 50 mg/KgBB with p < 0.0001 for AST and p = 0.0002 for ALT. Meanwhile, albumin levels were significantly affected at a dose of 200 mg/KgBB with p = 0.0411. From the results, it can be concluded that the n-hexane fraction of jamblang bark has the potential as a hepatoprotective agent, especially at a dose of 50 mg/KgBW.

Abstract

Background: Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella typhi, remains a significant health burden. Chloramphenicol is a first-line antibiotic for its treatment; however, increasing bacterial resistance necessitates alternative therapeutic strategies. Combining antibiotics with natural compounds is a potential approach to overcome resistance and reduce antibiotic doses. Kersen leaves (Muntingia calabura L.) have been reported to contain bioactive compounds with antibacterial properties. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro interaction between ethanolic extract of kersen leaves and chloramphenicol against Salmonella typhi using the checkerboard assay method. Methods: The ethanolic extract was obtained through maceration. Phytochemical constituents were analyzed qualitatively using tube tests and Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) with silica gel GF254 as the stationary phase and a chloroform:methanol (8:2 v/v) mobile phase. The antibacterial activity, expressed as Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), was determined for both the single extract and chloramphenicol using the microdilution method with resazurin indicator. The interaction between the two agents was assessed using the checkerboard assay, and the Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) was calculated. Results: Phytochemical screening revealed that the ethanolic extract of kersen leaves contained alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The MIC value of chloramphenicol alone was 19.5 µg/mL, while the extract alone showed an MIC of >1000 µg/mL against S. typhi. The checkerboard assay results indicated an increase in the MIC of chloramphenicol in combination with the extract; however, the FICI value could not be definitively determined due to the inability to establish the extract's MIC in the combination. Conclusion: The ethanolic extract of kersen leaves contains various secondary metabolite groups. While chloramphenicol exhibited antibacterial activity, the extract alone did not show inhibitory activity at the tested concentrations. The combination test suggested a potential alteration in the effectiveness of chloramphenicol, but the interaction type (synergistic, additive, indifferent, or antagonistic) could not be conclusively classified. Further investigation using fractionated or isolated compounds from the leaves is recommended.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and epigenetic dysregulation. Emerging evidence indicates that butirat supplementation may improve metabolic homeostasis through histon deacetylase inhibition and modulation of gene expression involved in insulin signaling and inflammatory pathways. This review aims to evaluate preclinical and clinical evidence on the role of butirat as an epigenetic modulator in type 2 diabetes mellitus and to discuss its translational relevance, including perspectives for Indonesia. A structured literature search was conducted to identify original research articles published between 2015 and 2025. The selected studies demonstrate that butirat enhances insulin sensitivity, improves glycemic control, and attenuates inflammatory responses through increased histon acetylation. However, direct clinical evidence remains limited. In Indonesia, available data are largely derived from dietary or probiotic interventions that increase endogenous butirat production. Therefore, well designed controlled clinical trials are required to evaluate the therapeutic potential of direct butirat supplementation in populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Kalangkala (Litsea angulata) is an endemic plant of Kalimantan that has long been used in local traditional medicine to manage various health conditions. Phytochemical reports indicate that Kalangkala contains diverse secondary metabolites, including phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, steroids, and carotenoids. Therefore, selecting an appropriate extraction method is essential to maximize metabolite recovery while minimizing degradation. This experimental study compared the extraction yield of Kalangkala leaf extract obtained using maceration and ASE (Accelerated Solvent Extraction) methods. Each method was performed in three replicates and the percentage yield was calculated. Maceration produced yields of 2.10-2.18%, whereas ASE produced higher yields of 13.25-14.01%. the mean yield of maceration was 2.14 ± 0.04% (95% Cl: 2.04-2.24), while ASE achieved 13.64 ± 0.38% (95%Cl: 12.69-14.58). A two-tailed Welch’s t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference between methods (p = 0.00032), with a mean difference of 11.49% (95% Cl: 10.56-12.42). In conclusion, ASE provided a higher extraction yield than maceration under the conditions evaluated in this study.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health burden, and Indonesia is among the countries with the highest incidence and mortality rates. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective TB control; however, conventional diagnostic methods such as sputum smear microscopy, culture, chest radiography, and the tuberculin skin test continue to face limitations in sensitivity, specificity, turnaround time, and operational feasibility. This narrative review synthesizes global biotechnological developments in TB diagnostics and evaluates their potential applicability within the Indonesian healthcare system. A structured literature search was conducted using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, applying Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome (PICO) based inclusion and exclusion criteria. Key advances in molecular diagnostics include conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time PCR, automated nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) platforms such as GeneXpert, Xpert Ultra, and Truenat, as well as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Emerging innovations including CRISPR-based assays, biosensor platforms, microfluidic lab-on-chip devices, and nanotechnology-enhanced systems demonstrate improved sensitivity, portability, and testing speed, with potential for point-of-care implementation, although many require further field-based validation. No single diagnostic tool is universally optimal, as suitability depends on infrastructure availability, workforce capacity, and population needs. In Indonesia, persistent challenges include limited laboratory networks, high diagnostic costs, supply-chain constraints, and variability in human resource competence. Strengthening diagnostic systems, expanding decentralized testing, integrating digital health technologies, and supporting local production of diagnostic materials are critical to enable sustainable adoption and accelerate progress toward national TB elimination targets.
