Abstract

Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the world. Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of cancer patients worldwide increases by 6.25 million people, or about 12% of the global population each year. White turmeric contains turmerone, essential oil, and curcuminoids. Curcuminoids have activity against P-388 murine leukemia cells and can inhibit the growth of cancer cells. One of the solid pharmaceutical preparations that is often used is capsules. Capsules require a quick disintegration time immediately after swallowing, and they must be absorbed in the digestive tract to provide bioavailability effects. Therefore, additional materials are needed for the capsule to dissolve quickly after contact with gastric fluid. The population in this study consists of disintegrating agents with various brands. The samples used were sodium starch glycolate, Ac-Di-Sol, and SD600 with a concentration of 4%. The research used an experimental method with a post-test control group design, with four formulations with different disintegrant materials. (sodium starch glycolate, Ac-Di-Sol, dan SD600). The research results show that all formulations meet the requirements for physical quality tests of capsules except for the flow rate test. There is a significant difference between the disintegration time of formula 3 with SD600 and the disintegration time of formula 4 with Ac-Di-Sol. Formula 4 with the disintegrant Ac-Di-Sol has the fastest disintegration time, 15.70 minutes. The factors that influence the results are the moisture and hygroscopicity of the powder.

Abstract

Cascara refers to the dried husk of coffee cherries. It has garnered significant attention in recent research due to its phytochemical composition and potential health benefits. Several studies have highlighted the presence of bioactive compounds and the antioxidant activity exhibited by cascara. This study aims to investigate the phytochemical content and antioxidant potential of cascara. The cascara was extracted using the maceration method with 96% ethanol, followed by phytochemical screening for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, steroids, and quinones using standard color reactions in test tubes. Antioxidant activity was assessed via the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay, with ascorbic acid as a reference compound. The phytochemical profile of the extract was identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The findings indicated that cascara contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids. GC-MS analysis identified caffeine, hexadecanoic acid (methyl ester), and hexadecanoic acid (ethyl ester) as the predominant compounds in cascara. The antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method demonstrated that the ethanol extract of cascara possesses moderate antioxidant potential, with an average IC50 value of 108.49 ± 1.28 ppm. Ascorbic acid, the reference compound used in this study, yielded an IC50 of 2.53 ppm, categorized as very strong. This research underscores cascara’s potential as a valuable source of antioxidants with significant health benefits, influenced by geographic factors affecting its bioactive compound profile. Consequently, cascara holds promise for further development as a raw material for functional health-promoting products.

Abstract

Loloh is a traditional herbal beverage specifically produced by the Balinese community to prevent and treat various ailments. One example of loloh used for health maintenance can be formulated from a mixture of jempiring leaves (Gardenia jasminoides), pegagan leaves (Centella asiatica), katuk leaves (Breynia androgyna), and coconut water (Cocos nucifera). A major challenge in loloh production is the risk of microbial contamination. This study aims to examine the physical characteristics, bioactive compound profile, and microbiological quality of loloh formulated from a combination of jempiring leaves (G. jasminoides), pegagan leaves (C. asiatica), katuk leaves (B. androgyna), and coconut water (C. nucifera). The research employed an experimental design with a descriptive approach. Observed variables included organoleptic characteristics (color, form, odor), pH, microbiological parameters (total plate count [TPC] and yeast and mold count [YMC]), and phytochemical screening of the loloh preparation. The samples used in this study were loloh packaged in 250 ml bottles. A total of six bottles were used, with five allocated for microbiological testing and one for phytochemical screening. The resulting loloh exhibited a brown color, a distinctive odor, and a pH of 6. All five microbiological samples showed microbial contamination exceeding the permissible limits, with TPC values surpassing 10⁶ CFU/g and YMC values exceeding 10⁴ CFU/g. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids. It can be concluded that loloh is rich in bioactive compounds; however, hygienic practices and microbiological safety must be carefully considered, particularly during production and packaging processes.

Abstract

  Cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao L.) are rich in flavonoids that exhibit antioxidant, antidiarrheal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic activities. Quercetin is one of the marker compounds commonly used in the quantification of flavonoid compounds in natural materials. This study aimed to determine the quercetin content in the n-butanol fraction of cocoa bean extract using the thin-layer chromatography (TLC) - densitometric method. Extraction was performed by maceration with 96% ethanol, yielding 118 g, followed by fractionation using n-butanol to obtain 7 g. The mobile phase consisted of toluene:ethyl acetate:formic acid (4:3:0.4). Based on curve calibration of quercetin standard produced a regression equation of y = 0.000016x + 0.0014 with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9882. The mean quercetin content in the n-butanol fraction was 0.115 ± 0.039 mg/100 g with a relative standard deviation. The TLC spots exhibited Rf values averaging 0.55, consistent with the quercetin standard. These findings indicate that the n-butanol fraction of cocoa bean extract contains quercetin. The presence indicate n-buthanol fraction contain of quercetin as flavonoid composition of cocoa beans, supporting their potential use as a natural antioxidant source in traditional medicine formulations.

Abstract

Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) represent a valuable natural resource with numerous benefits, particularly in the field of cosmetics. These leaves exhibit remarkable pharmacological properties, notably antibacterial effects against acne-causing bacteria. Such antibacterial activity is attributed to the presence of secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins. From the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence, any substance derived from natural sources is considered halal; therefore, Moringa oleifera holds strong potential as a halal cosmetic ingredient. This study aimed to evaluate the antiacne activity of Moringa oleifera leaves as a prospective halal cosmetic agent. The research employed a literature review method using a narrative, unsystematic review model. The reviewed literature comprised scientific articles published between 2018 and 2022 in either Indonesian or English. A total of 1,104 articles were initially identified, of which 31 met the inclusion criteria. The findings revealed that Moringa oleifera leaves demonstrate significant antibacterial activity against acne-associated bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. This antibacterial potential is closely related to the presence of various secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, steroids, alkaloids, saponins, benzyl isothiocyanate, and benzyl glucosinolate.
