Abstract

Antioxidants can be given to the skin through cosmetics such as face toners. One source of antioxidants is obtained through the fermentation of butterfly pea flower kombucha (Clitoria ternatea L.), which has been proven to have better antioxidant activity than butterfly pea flower extract alone. This study aimed to determine the metabolite compounds in butterfly pea flower kombucha and create a facial toner formulation with good antioxidant activity. The butterfly pea flower kombucha was fermented for 6 days at room temperature. Facial toners were made with concentrations of 5%, 7,5% and 10%. Evaluation of the face toner includes organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, specific gravity, and viscosity tests. The antioxidant activity test used the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-pycrilhydrazil) method, with vitamin C as a positive control. The results showed that there were alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and terpenoid compounds in butterfly pea flower kombucha. Face toners with concentrations of 5%, 7.5%, and 10% could be prepared and met all evaluations (organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, specific gravity, and viscosity). Antioxidant test results on formula 1 IC50 50,21±SD 0,01 (strong), formula 2 IC50 44,32±SD 0,02 (very strong) and formula 3 IC50 38,62±SD 0,03 (very strong). The higher the concentration of butterfly pea flower kombucha, the higher the antioxidant activity. Butterfly pea flower kombucha (Clitoria ternatea L.) which is formulated as a face toner preparation has strong to very strong antioxidants, and the increasing concentration of active ingredients had an effect on antioxidant activity.  Keywords: face toner, butterfly pea flower kombucha, DPPH method, antioxidant activity

Abstract

Solubility is an important physicochemical property of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Poor water solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients leads to low bioavailability; therefore, efforts are needed to improve the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The goal of this study was to prepare and characterize novel multicomponent crystals of fenofibric acid (FA) using acid acetylsalicylic (ACE) as a coformer and to evaluate the solubility enhancement when prepared for multicomponent crystal formation.  Solid characterization of the novel multicomponent crystals was performed using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning diffraction (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), polarized microscopy, and solubility tests. Multicomponent crystals were prepared by the solvent drop grinding method using a few drops of an ethanol pro analyzer. The results showed that the solubility of multicomponent crystalline fenofibric acid was 4.7 times greater than that of pure fenofibric acid. Differential Scanning Calorimetry characterization results show the novel multicomponent crystals  with a sharp endothermic peak at 136,65 oC. The PXRD diffractograms show no new diffraction peaks and a decrease  in intensity. FT-IR spectroscopic analysis showed no new functional groups, and most of the transmittance peaks of the multicomponent crystals were superimposed between the peaks of fenofibric acid and acetylsalicylic acid. The novel multicomponent crystals fenofibric acid with acetylsalicylic acid as a coformer can improve the solubility of fenofibric acid  Keywords: Acetylsalicylic acid ; Fenofibric acid ; Multicomponent crystals ; Solubility

Abstract

Infectious diseases remain a major issue in tropical countries such as Indonesia. Infectious diseases can be caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi. Development of antibacterial agents from natural sources is essential to combat the growing issue of antibiotic resistance. One potential plant is black cumin seed (Nigella sativa L.) contains thymoquinone, a compound known for its antibacterial properties. In addition to thymoquinone, the essential oil of black cumin contains thymol, carvacrol, and p-cymene, along with metabolites such as alkaloids, saponins, and tannins. This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity of black cumin seed oil (Nigella sativa L.) against Extended Spectrum ?-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli ESBL). The antibacterial test in this study used the disc diffusion method at various concentrations, including 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. The extract was obtained by distillation, using pure water as the solvent. The test groups included a negative control, positive control using chloramphenicol, and negative control using pure water. The results of the antibacterial activity test showed that the positive control produced an average inhibition zone of 25 mm, classified as susceptible, whereas the negative control showed no inhibition zone (0 mm). At 100% concentration, the inhibition zone averaged 18,67 mm, at 75% it averaged 16 mm, at 50% it averaged 11,67 mm, and at 25%, the inhibition zone averaged 6,67 mm. The three lower concentrations were categorized as resistant.

Abstract

Inadequate menstrual hygiene can increase the risk of reproductive tract infections, including pelvic inflammatory disease, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. Therefore, the use of safe and effective menstrual products is essential. Currently, disposable pads are widely recognized products. Disposable pad waste is deemed environmentally detrimental, leading to an estimated annual production of 113,000 tons. Menstrual cups are a viable long-term alternative, since they can be reused for up to ten years, effectively prevent leaks, accommodate various activities, and diminish the risk of toxic shock syndrome. Examining Indonesian women's knowledge and attitudes about menstrual cups is crucial, as it substantially aids in advancing the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Procedure. This was a quantitative study utilizing anonymous web-based questionnaires. Outcomes.  Of the Indonesian women, 75.97% possessed limited knowledge, while only 24.03%weree well-informed about menstruation cups as eco-friendly menstrual devices. 85.06% of Indonesian women were disinclined to utilize menstruation cups, while only 14.94% expressed a willingness to adopt these environmentally friendly menstrual devices. The ?-value was 0.514>0.05, which represents statistical insignificance; hence, knowledge was not associated with attitude.  Keywords: attitude; knowledge; menstrual_cup; menstruation; women_health

Abstract

Purple leaves in Indonesia can be used as an anti-inflammatory medication and laxative to treat hemorrhoids, rheumatism, boils, and skin diseases. Purple leaves are also used as free-radical antidotes. This was due to the presence of secondary metabolite compounds in purple leaves. The right extraction method determines the amount of flavonoids that can be extracted and achieves a high flavonoid content. This study aimed to determine the total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of purple leaves using different extraction methods, namely maceration and Soxhletation. This study employed an experimental method of testing total flavonoid levels using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. The results showed that the maceration method yielded a total flavonoid level of 4,422 ± 0,047 ppm, which was higher than that obtained using the Soxhletation method (1,547 ± 0,027 ppm). In the antioxidant activity test, vitamin C was used as a comparator, with an IC50 of 2.263 ppm (very strong). The IC50 of purple leaf extract using the maceration method was 123,32 ppm (medium), while the soxhletation method yielded an IC50 of 104,42 ppm (medium). This shows that vitamin C has more potent antioxidant activity in counteracting free radicals than purple leaf extract, using maceration and Soxhletation methods. The  results showed a significant difference in total flavonoid levels using different extraction methods, while there was no significant difference in the antioxidant activity of purple leaf extract using maceration and  Soxhletation methods.   Keywords: antioxidant, extraction, flavonoid, maceration, purple leaf, soxhletation

Abstract

Hypertension is the primary cause of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), as it damages blood vessels in the kidneys. The most commonly used management for hypertension as monotherapy includes Calcium Channel Blockers (CCB) such as Amlodipine and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) such as candesartan. Patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis depend on dialysis machines, which impacts their economic burden. Therefore, a cost analysis review of drugs with the same therapeutic goals is necessary. This was a non-experimental study with a descriptive design. Data were collected through retrospective purposive sampling from January to December 2023 using medical records and payment data for inpatient treatments with hemodialysis that met the inclusion criteria. Direct medical costs included antihypertensive, other medication, service and facility fees, and medical support costs. Of the 100 samples that met the inclusion criteria from January to December 2023, amlodipine was the most commonly used antihypertensive (56%), followed by candesartan (38%). The average direct medical costs were IDR 184.350 for Amlodipine and IDR 561,339 for candesartan. The patient characteristics by gender showed a higher percentage of males (52%) than of females (48%). By age, the majority were in the late adult group (67%), whereas the elderly accounted for (33%). The Amlodipine group achieved more significant cost minimization than the candesartan group. Future studies should examine the potential of amlodipine in reducing the economic burden of limited resources.  Keywords: antihypertensive, CMA, CKD
