Abstract

Syzygium aromaticum contains bioactive compounds that may serve as natural alternatives to synthetic mosquito control agents. This study aimed to evaluate the mosquitocidal activity of stem, leaf, and bud extracts of S. aromaticum, formulated as vaporizer mats, against Aedes aegypti and to identify potential molecular targets of the major compounds in these extracts through computational analysis. Volatile extracts from stems, leaves, and buds were prepared by ethanol maceration and formulated into vaporizer mats at concentrations of 0.5% and 1%. A total of 525 adult A. aegypti (F330 strain) were exposed under controlled laboratory conditions in accordance with WHO guidelines. Mortality, LT50, and LT90 values were recorded after exposure. Molecular docking was performed against odorant-binding protein AaegOBP1 and pyruvate kinase (PK1), followed by molecular dynamics simulation. Among all treatments, bud extract at 1% produced the highest mortality (33%), compared with 2% in the negative control. LT50 and LT90 values for this treatment were 1.468 minutes and 50.543 minutes, respectively, indicating prolonged biological activity. Docking analysis showed that β-caryophyllene had the strongest affinity toward AaegOBP1 (-8.4 kcal/mol), while chavicol showed the strongest interaction with PK1 (-6.5 kcal/mol). Molecular dynamics simulation confirmed stable ligand-receptor interactions with RMSF values below 3 Å. These findings indicate that S. aromaticum bud extract has moderate mosquitocidal potential in vaporizer mat formulation and may act through olfactory disruption and metabolic interference in A. aegypti.

Abstract

Chronic wounds pose a significant healthcare challenge in Southeast Asia, with prevalence rates reaching 50.8%. Conventional systemic therapies often fail due to persistent inflammation and bacterial biofilm formation. This study presents a novel approach that combines chitosan, a hydrophilic scaffold that maintains optimal moisture and prevents microbial contamination, with Ageratum conyzoides, which is rich in flavonoids with anti-inflammatory and pro-proliferative properties. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of chitosan combined with A. conyzoides in a hydrogel patch formulation on wound healing as a comprehensive approach to the TIME (Tissue, Inflammation, Moisture, Epithelization) concept. The standardized plant material was formulated into patches by a solvent‐casting method using three extract‐to‐chitosan ratios: F1 (2:0), F2 (1:1), and F3 (2:1). Evaluation encompassed physical characterization, acute dermal irritation, and wound‐healing activity assessment. Plant material met the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopeia standards, yielding 9.96 ± 0.10% total flavonoid content, with phytochemical screening confirming flavonoids, phenolics, and quinones. All formulations demonstrated favorable physical characteristics: thickness of 0.08–0.11 mm, folding endurance of 64–479 folds, and moisture absorption of 6.12–9.39%, with no acute dermal irritation observed in rabbits. In a 14-day linear incision wound model using male Wistar rats, F3 achieved superior healing efficacy (97% closure, rate constant 0.2972 day⁻¹), reaching 90% closure by day 7.75, significantly outperforming the positive control (Bioplacenton®, 89%) and negative control (79%). These results highlight F3's synergistic effects via anti-inflammatory and proliferative mechanisms, following first-order kinetics and comprehensively addressing the TIME framework to enhance wound healing.

Abstract

Pneumonia is one of the respiratory infections that is still a public health problem and requires appropriate antibiotic therapy. However, irrational use of antibiotics has the potential to increase resistance and worsen patient clinical outcomes. This study aims to analyze antibiotic use in outpatient pneumonia patients at the X Blitar Health Center using the Defined Daily Dose (DDD) and Gyssens methods. This study employed a cross-sectional approach, utilizing secondary data from 109 medical records and prescriptions for pneumonia patients (ICD-10 codes J12-J18) from February 2024 to May 2025. Quantitative analysis was conducted using the DDD/1,000 patients per day method, while qualitative analysis of prescriptions was performed using the Gyssens method. The results showed that Amoxicillin (J01CA04) was the most widely used antibiotic, namely 232.42 DDD/1,000 patients per day, followed by Cefadroxil (87.04 DDD/1,000 patients per day), Ciprofoxacin (18.35 DDD/1,000 patients per day), and Azithromycin (15.29 DDD/1,000 patients per day). Gyssens' analysis revealed that most prescriptions fell into categories IIA (33.94%), IVA (29.36%), and V (27.52%). Inaccurate dosage and suboptimal antibiotic selection were the leading causes of irrational antibiotic use. Additionally, 30 pneumonia patients were identified who did not receive antibiotics despite having clinical indications for them. The results of this study emphasize the need for rationalization training in therapy, prescription audits, and the strengthening of clinical guidelines implementation in primary care facilities.

Abstract

Cinnamaldehyde is a major aromatic compound utilized in the pharmaceutical industry due to its diverse biological activities, including anticancer potential. This study aims to develop a rapid and controlled synthesis method for cinnamaldehyde and ethyl cinnamate using microflow reactor technology, followed by structural elucidation and cytotoxic evaluation against HeLa, MCF-7, and T47D cancer cell lines. The synthesis of cinnamaldehyde was performed via aldol condensation of benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde (1.3:1 molar ratio) at 70°C, while ethyl cinnamate was synthesized through a two-step process involving Pinnick oxidation and Fischer esterification. The results demonstrated that microflow synthesis achieved a cinnamaldehyde yield of 52% with high purity (100% based on HPLC relative area), and ethyl cinnamate with 99% purity. In cytotoxic assays, synthesized cinnamaldehyde exhibited moderate activity, most notably against HeLa cells with an IC₅₀ of 95 µg/mL, whereas ethyl cinnamate showed lower potency (IC₅₀ > 200 µg/mL). Although the synthesized compounds were less potent than the standard cinnamaldehyde (IC₅₀ 1.56 µg/mL) and Doxorubicin control, this study confirms that microflow reactor technology is a highly effective and time-efficient method for producing high-purity cinnamate derivatives.

Validating Bioactive Prospects and Chemodiversity in Regional Ecosystems A significant portion of this issue is dedicated to the scientific validation of Southeast Asia's rich terrestrial and marine heritage, particularly focusing on optimal compound recovery and therapeutic applications for chronic metabolic and non-communicable diseases: pH-Modulation and Marine Extraction: Research on Rhizophora stylosa (Mangrove) leaves demonstrates that altering solvent alkalinity influences metabolite solubility, showing that a pH 10 ethanolic system maximizes phenolic yields and radical-scavenging capacity while maintaining structural chromophore integrity. Complementing marine discovery, an evaluation of carrageenan extracts from nine edible seaweed species native to the Western Visayas catalogs distinct phytochemical fingerprints and free-radical-scavenging potential profiles via DPPH assays. Preclinical Validation of Antidiabetic and Anti-inflammatory Potency: Combining empirical profiling with computer models, a study on Tithonia diversifolia (Insulin leaf) identifies key therapeutic flavonoids (hispidulin, luteolin, and genistein) and demonstrates their superior ability to inhibit α-amylase and intercept glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) formation compared to standard glibenclamide. Additionally, the in vivo anti-inflammatory efficacy of Syzygium polyanthum (Salam) leaf extract is validated in animal models, demonstrating consistent reductions in carrageenan-induced paw edema. Breakthroughs in Computational Chemistry and Bioinformatics Moving beyond laboratory assays, this issue highlights the growing role of advanced data mining, virtual screening, and structural mathematical simulations in accelerating drug discovery: High-Throughput Docking and QSAR Modeling: Research on Pluchea indica (Beluntas) uses an in silico library to screen 110 phytoconstituents, identifying competitive natural inhibitors of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) to treat hypertension. Similarly, structural molecular docking combined with Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) mathematical frameworks evaluates newly synthesized N-(ethylcarbamothioyl)benzamide derivatives as dual estrogen-α and progesterone receptor inhibitors for targeted breast cancer therapy. Pharmacokinetic and Genomic Simulations: A short communication maps the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) parameters of critical antiviral agents, such as Remdesivir and Favipiravir, and optimizes data on their active clearance and metabolite elimination profiles. Furthermore, an in silico bioinformatics pipeline analyzes deep genomic repositories (Ensembl, Haploreg, GTEx) to pinpoint specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and structural variants driving neuropathic pain pathways in diabetic neuropathy. Innovations in Chemical Synthesis and Topical Formulations Connecting raw starting blocks with targeted delivery systems, researchers in this issue present key structural and formulation optimizations: Reflux Kinetics in Chemical Synthesis: A study investigating the Knoevenagel-Doebner condensation reaction optimizes reflux timelines using malonic acid and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, defining the precise reaction durations needed to maximize the yield and analytical purity of synthesized 4-hydroxycinnamic acid. Polymer Base Optimization and Safety Screening: In pharmaceutics, an optimization matrix evaluates the combination of HAMINT™ and HPMC K100M polymers to enhance the physical stability and topical delivery of diclofenac sodium gel creams. Parallel to base optimization, the safety profile of facial cleansing gels containing ethyl acetate and ethanol fractions of Citrus amblycarpa peel is established using the in vivo Hen's Egg Chorioallantoic Membrane (HET-CAM) vascular assay to assess potential systemic mucosal irritation. Advancing Clinical Pharmacy and Public Health Screening In the clinical and community practice sectors, this issue features structural validation matrices and proactive screening tools designed to directly improve patient outcomes: Osteoporosis Screening in Community Pharmacy: A cross-sectional pilot study in Malaysia utilizes the Malaysian Osteoporosis Screening Tool (MOST) within community pharmacies, effectively categorizing bone health risks in post-menopausal women while tracking the direct impacts of dietary intake and lifestyle choices. Medication Error Assessment in Geriatric Care: Transitioning to Institutional Patient Safety, research outlines the formal expert validation of a structured Medication Error Assessment Tool within the Integrated Medicine Management (IMM) model. Utilizing multi-disciplinary expert panels, this framework establishes a reliable tool to significantly reduce clinical medication errors in geriatric patients suffering from Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
