The Medical Sains journal is a scientific publication media published by the Muhammadiyah Cirebon College of Pharmacy which is published 4 (four) times in 1 (one) year, namely January-March, April-June, July-September and October-December. The journal contains research in the field of pharmacy covering the fields of formulation, pharmacology, communication pharmacy, A natural chemical chemistry, pharmacognomy and other health sciences which is a means for lecturers and researchers in the health sector to share knowledge and establish cooperation in implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. Purpose and Scope The objective of the publication of the Medical Science journal is to publish articles in the field of pharmacy and other health as well as application of pharmaceutical . Based on this, the editorial board of Medical Sains invites lecturers and researchers to contribute to submit research articles related to the following themes: 1. Pharmaceutical formulation technology 2. Pharmacology 3. Community pharmacy 4. Clinical Pharmacy 5. Natural material chemistry 6. Pharmacognosy 7. Pharmaceutical Analysis and Medicinal Chemistry . All papers submitted to medical science journals will be examined by peer review partners who are tailored to their respective fields.

Abstract

Purnajiwa (Kopsia arborea Blume.) contains diverse phytochemicals with notable antibacterial potential. This study aimed to characterize and quantify the phytochemicals of Kopsia arborea fruit extracts obtained by maceration and Soxhlet extraction with methanol and evaluate their antibacterial activity against MRSA through phytochemical screening, GC-MS analysis, spectrophotometric quantification of flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenolics, and disc diffusion assay at 100 ?g/mL concentration. The findings indicated that the Soxhlet extraction produced a superior yield (19.47 ± 0.58%) compared to maceration (11.09 ± 0.65%). Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids, with no qualitative differences between the two extracts. Quantitative analysis demonstrated higher concentrations of alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolics in the Soxhlet extract, with values of 88.58 ± 3.76, 46.50 ± 1.04, and 57.87 ± 0.44 ?g/mL, respectively, compared to the maceration extract (50.46 ± 3.86, 26.22 ± 0.27, and 30.49 ± 0.31 ?g/mL, respectively). GC-MS analysis identified 13 alkaloid compounds in the Soxhlet extract and 12 in the maceration extract. Antibacterial assays revealed that the mean inhibition zone diameter against MRSA was 11.69 ± 0.28 mm for the Soxhlet extract and 12.61 ± 0.27 mm for the maceration extract, respectively. In conclusion, Soxhlet extraction yielded higher concentrations of alkaloids, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids; however, GC-MS analysis revealed that the macerated extract exhibited a higher AUC of alkaloid compounds than that of Soxhlet extraction. Moreover, the macerated extract demonstrated superior antibacterial activity, indicating that maceration has greater potential for development as an antibacterial agent than Soxhlet extraction.

Abstract

Chronic diseases are a major global health challenge and remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. Sustained adherence to long-term pharmacological therapy is essential but is often suboptimal. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of medication adherence among patients with chronic diseases at RSUD Kota Yogyakarta using structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS). A cross-sectional survey was conducted between January and February 2025 with 120 purposively selected outpatients. Medication adherence was assessed using the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS) and additional questionnaires measuring therapeutic regimens, patient perceptions, socioeconomic factors, and healthcare system attributes. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS 4. The results showed that 74.2% of patients had low adherence and 25.8% had moderate adherence, with none achieving high adherence. SEM-PLS analysis indicated that therapy complexity (?=0.262, p<0.01), patient perception (?=0.381, p<0.01), socioeconomic status (?=0.265, p<0.01), and healthcare system support (?=0.199, p<0.01) were significant predictors, explaining 66% of adherence variance (R²=0.660). In conclusion, medication adherence among patients with chronic diseases in Yogyakarta was low and was strongly influenced by regimen burden, perception, socioeconomic status, and healthcare support. Targeted interventions addressing these factors are essential for improving adherence and long-term health outcomes.  Keywords: chronic disease, therapy adherence, ARMS, SEM-PLS, Yogyakarta
