Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to cognitive decline and memory loss, eventually impairing daily activities. Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) has neuroprotective potential due to its curcumin content, which possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. This study aims to examine the effect of different doses of turmeric rhizome extract on the histopathological features of brain cells in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced with Alzheimer’s disease. An experimental study with a post-test only control group design was conducted using simple random sampling. A total of 24 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: K1 (Alzheimer-induced without treatment), K2 (administered 20 mg/kgBW memantine), P1 (Alzheimer-induced with 36 mg/kgBW turmeric extract), and P2 (Alzheimer-induced with 54 mg/kgBW turmeric extract). The results showed the highest percentage of cell necrosis in K1 (19.7%), while the lowest was in K2 (1.67%), followed by P2 (2.5%) and P1 (5%). The Kruskal-Wallis test indicated a significant difference between groups p = 0.030 (p < 0.05). The Post Hoc Mann-Whitney test revealed a significant difference between K1 and both K2 and P2. These findings suggest that turmeric rhizome extract at a dose of 54 mg/kgBW has a neuroprotective effect by reducing neuronal necrosis in Alzheimer-induced rats. However, no significant difference was observed between the memantine-treated group and the turmeric extract-treated groups. There was no significant difference between the group given memantine treatment and the group given turmeric rhizome extract (Curcuma Longa L.).

Abstract

Mulberry leaves extract (Morus alba L.) has an IC50 of 8.35 µg/mL which is classified as a very strong antioxidant so it can be used as an active substance in cosmetic preparations such as Peel Off gel masks. An important component in Peel Off gel preparations is Gelling Agent. The type and concentration of each Gelling Agent can affect the characteristics of the preparation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different Gelling Agents on the physical characteristics of Peel Off gel mask preparations from mulberry leaf extract. Mulberry leaves were extracted using the maceration method with 70% ethanol solvent. Peel Off gel mask preparation is made in 9 formulas, namely formula 1-3 using Gelling Agent gelatin, formula 4-6 using Gelling Agent HPMC, formula 7-9 using Gelling Agent Carbopol 940. Physical characterization of the preparation includes organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesive power, viscosity and stability test Cycling Test. The results showed that all formulas had the same organoleptic before and after the stability test, formula 1-3 showed inhomogeneity after the stability test was carried out. The pH of formula 1-6 is in the good pH range (5.62-6.37) while F7-9 has a pH value of 7.04-7.31, the spreadability of the preparation decreased along with the increase in the concentration of Gelling Agent, namely from 17 g.cm/sec to 12 g.cm/sec for a load of 150 g, and the increase in the concentration of Gelling Agent affects the results of adhesive power and viscosity of the preparation. The viscosity values of F1-F3 are 3,666-110,000 mPa.s, F4-F7 with a range of 11,333-49,666 mPa.s, and F7-F9 44,333-162,333 mPa.s. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the difference in Gelling Agent in Peel Off gel mask preparations can affect the physical characteristics of the preparation.

Abstract

Background: Anting-anting herb (Acalypha indica L.) has been traditionally known for its antidiabetic properties. Its mechanism of action is presumed to involve the regeneration of damaged pancreatic β-cells; however, its effect on the expression of GLUT-2, a key glucose transporter in insulin secretion, remains to be further investigated. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of ethanol extract of Anting-anting herb on GLUT-2 protein expression in pancreatic β-cells of Streptozotocin–Nicotinamide–induced diabetic rats. Methods: This laboratory experimental study used 25 male rats (Rattus norvegicus), randomly assigned into five groups: normal control, negative control (diabetes + 1% CMC), positive control (diabetes + glibenclamide 0.45 mg/kg BW), treatment 1 (diabetes + extract 100 mg/kg BW), and treatment 2 (diabetes + extract 200 mg/kg BW). Diabetes was induced intraperitoneally with Streptozotocin (50 mg/kg BW) and Nicotinamide (110 mg/kg BW). The treatments were administered orally for 14 days. GLUT-2 expression in pancreatic tissue was quantitatively analyzed using immunohistochemistry, and protein density was measured with ImageJ software. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results: Phytochemical analysis revealed that the extract contained flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. The group treated with 200 mg/kg BW extract showed a significant increase in GLUT-2 protein density (11,608,400 molecules/µm²) compared with the negative control group (5,074,533 molecules/µm²) (p < 0.05). This value was even higher than that of the positive control (glibenclamide), which showed a density of 10,626,864 molecules/µm². Conclusion: Administration of ethanol extract of Anting-anting herb at a dose of 200 mg/kg BW significantly increased GLUT-2 expression in pancreatic β-cells of diabetic rats. This enhancement is strongly presumed to contribute to the antidiabetic mechanism of Anting-anting herb.

Abstract

Lead (Pb) is a hazardous substance that has the potential to damage human health and the environment. This article evaluates the effectiveness of two sample preparation methods, namely wet digestion and dry digestion, in analyzing lead using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) through a literature review, obtaining data using Google Scholar's “Publish or Perish” feature with the keywords lead, AAS, sample preparation, and method validation. Inclusion criteria are journals published within the last 10 years, while exclusion criteria are  journals that use methods other than AAS, focusing on other metals, or do not involving sample preparation methods involving destruction. The wet destruction method involves dissolving the sample in acid, while the dry destruction method uses high-temperature heating to form dry ash. The dry destruction method demonstrates better analytical performance than wet destruction, based on the parameters of recovery (98.5–104.2%), accuracy (absolute deviation <2%), and precision (%RSD <5%). These results indicate that dry destruction provides more accurate, precise, and consistent analysis, as well as more reliable quantification of elements such as heavy metals, compared to wet destruction, which tends to produce variations between replicates. Therefore, the dry destruction method is recommended for lead analysis using SSA because it is more effective and efficient.

Abstract

Chalcones are flavonoid compounds that have attracted attention in the development of antibacterial agents. This literature review aims to examine the synthesis and effectiveness of chalcone compounds and their derivatives as antibacterials. Through descriptive analysis, chalcone synthesis was carried out using several methods, one of which was the condensation between benzaldehyde and acetophenone, followed by structural modification to produce various chalcone derivatives. The antibacterial activity of chalcone compounds and their derivatives was tested against bacteria such as S. aureus, E. coli, B. substillis, and other types of bacteria. The results of the review of several literatures obtained online through Google, Google Scholar, and Publish or Perish were carried out using the keywords "Synthesis", "Chalcone", and "Antibacterial" with publications from the last 10 years (2014-2024) with a total of 8 references used. The study showed that changes in the structure of chalcones, such as the addition of hydroxyl and methoxy groups, can affect antibacterial activity. Some chalcone derivatives also showed promising antibacterial activity, although their effectiveness varied depending on the type of bacteria tested.

Abstract

Background: The rising consumption of coffee in Indonesia necessitates reliable methods for caffeine analysis to ensure product quality and safety. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a simple, effective, and polarity-based technique widely used for the qualitative identification of compounds like caffeine in coffee. However, the results of TLC analysis are highly dependent on several methodological parameters. Objectives: This literature review aims to identify and analyze the critical parameters of the TLC method—including the mobile phase, stationary phase, visualization techniques, and sample preparation—that influence the effectiveness of caffeine identification in coffee. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using online databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and Crossref). Articles from the last ten years were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in nine primary studies for in-depth analysis. Results: The review confirms that silica gel 60 F254 is the most effective stationary phase. The composition of the mobile phase is crucial; a mixture of dichloromethane:methanol (9.5:0.5) was found to be optimal for separating caffeine, yielding Rf values within the ideal range of 0.3–0.7. Visualization under UV light at 254 nm successfully detected caffeine as dark spots. Sample preparation techniques, particularly reflux and ultrasonic extraction, significantly enhanced extraction efficiency and detection sensitivity. Factors such as mobile phase stability, spotting technique, and sample matrix were also identified as key influencers on the chromatographic results. Conclusion: TLC is an efficient and cost-effective method for the qualitative identification of caffeine in coffee. Its success is determined by the optimization of critical parameters, primarily the mobile phase composition. While excellent for initial screening, TLC requires complementary techniques for precise quantitative analysis. Future work should focus on standardizing these parameters to improve the reproducibility and reliability of caffeine analysis using TLC.

Abstract

Background: Spider lily leaves (Crinum asiaticum L.) contain bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Developing a convenient topical formulation like a stick balm could provide an effective and practical alternative for treating inflammation. Objective: This study aimed to formulate a stick balm containing ethanol extract of spider lily leaves (EESL) and evaluate its physical quality and anti-inflammatory activity. Methods: The extract was obtained by macerating the leaves in 96% ethanol. Stick balm formulations were prepared with varying concentrations of EESL: F0 (base), F1 (1%), F2 (3%), and F3 (5%). The physical quality of the formulations (homogeneity, pH, spreadability, melting point) was evaluated. Anti-inflammatory activity was tested on 24 male white rats induced with carrageenan. The rats were divided into six groups: negative control (induced only), positive control (commercial Geliga balm), F0, F1, F2, and F3. Paw edema volume was measured every hour for 6 hours. Results: All stick balm formulations met the physical quality standards. The anti-inflammatory test showed that the F3 formulation (5% EESL) exhibited the highest activity, with an edema reduction of 0.007 mm, which was equivalent to the positive control group (0.007 mm). The anti-inflammatory effect was concentration-dependent, with lower efficacy observed in the F2 and F1 groups. Conclusion: The ethanol extract of Crinum asiaticum L. leaves can be successfully formulated into a stable stick balm. The 5% EESL stick balm demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory activity that was comparable to a commercial product, making it a promising natural alternative for topical anti-inflammatory therapy.

Abstract

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic condition characterised by the formation of regenerative nodules and fibrotic tissue resulting from prolonged liver damage. This condition is frequently accompanied by comorbidities and complications, often leading to the use of multiple medications (polypharmacy). Polypharmacy increases the risk of potential drug interactions, which may worsen clinical outcomes. This study aimed to describe the patterns of possible drug interactions and the sociodemographic characteristics of hospitalised patients with cirrhosis at Dr M. Djamil Central General Hospital in Padang. A cross-sectional study was conducted using prospectively collected data from patient medical records. A total of 579 medications used by 50 patients were classified into three categories: cirrhosis-specific drugs (48.9%), symptomatic treatments (43.2%), and medications for comorbid conditions (7.95%). Analysis with drugs.com showed potential drug interactions in 96% of patients, most commonly moderate–to–minor combinations (48%), followed by major, moderate, and minor interactions (22%). In comparison, moderate interactions only and major moderate combinations occurred in 18% and 9% of patients, respectively.  In terms of sociodemographic characteristics, most patients were male (58%), under 65 years old (64%), had more than one comorbidity (52%), had a basic education level (32%), were still employed (56%), and did not engage in high-risk social behaviors such as smoking or alcohol consumption (48%).
