Abstract

Nanoemulgel is a combination of two different formulation systems, known as nanoemulsion preparation with gel matrix. In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of topical nanoemulgel preparations because they are easy to apply and can avoid damage to various drugs in the body. Although topical nanoemulgel preparations have some limitations, they are capable of delivering lipophilic drugs topically. The purpose of this review is to summarize the potential of nanoemulgel formulations for topical drug delivery against various physiological challenges and limitations of the formula. Through the publication search, as many as 124 articles were obtained based on the screening results of 29 articles that met the inclusion criteria and were used as a review. The analysis of data for this article was conducted through a narrative review. This preparation may improve the permeability of the drug into the skin by penetrating the stratum corneum through intercellular and intracellular pathways, depending on the components used: oil phase, surfactants, co-surfactants, and gelling agents. Surfactants are responsible for damaging the structure of the skin layer by lowering the surface tension, and gelling agents are responsible for increasing the viscosity and adhesiveness of the skin. Nanoemulgel formulations for topical drug delivery can be used to treat several diseases, such as inflammation, arthritis, wounds, fungal infections, bacterial infections, and psoriasis. The nanoemulgel formulation may provide promising potential in delivering lipophilic drugs topically in the future Keywords: Nanoemulgel, nanoemulsion, gel, topical drug delivery

Abstract

Dental caries and periodontal diseases are the most common diseases affecting the oral cavity. This can be prevented by maintaining oral hygiene. Toothpaste plays an important role in the reduction of plaque bacteria and inflammatory conditions. Rambutan honey has potential as a natural ingredient to make toothpaste with antibacterial and antioxidant properties owing to the presence of hydrogen peroxide and catalase enzymes, pH, osmolarity, and flavonoid content. The purpose of this study was to obtain a rambutan honey toothpaste formulation that effectively inhibits Streptococcus mutans growth. The laboratory experimental research method was used to combine CaCO3, glycerin, Na CMC, SLS, sodium benzoate, saccharin, menthol, and aquadest as the toothpaste base, which served as the control group. Subsequently, natural ingredients of rambutan honey at concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60% were added to the toothpaste base to create rambutan honey toothpaste. The formulation of the rambutan honey toothpaste was followed by an antibacterial activity test using the Kirby Bauer method of disc diffusion, where the inhibition zones formed on Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) medium were calculated. Data were analyzed using one-way and post hoc Tukey’s tests (p<0.05). The results showed that the formulation of rambutan honey toothpaste with a concentration of 60% had the greatest inhibition with 13.88±0.13 mm with a significant difference in each group (p = 0.000), so it can be concluded that rambutan honey toothpaste can inhibit the formation of Streptococcus mutans.  Keywords: antibacterial, formulation, rambutan honey, toothpaste, Streptococcus mutans

Abstract

Hair loss, or alopecia, is a common dermatological condition that affects up to 2% of the world's population. It is often caused by genetic factors, such as male or female pattern baldness, but can also be attributed to various environmental factors, an imbalanced diet, or chronic illnesses. While hair loss is not life-threatening, it can lead to significant anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues, ultimately affecting one's quality of life. Various treatments for baldness, including synthetic drugs like minoxidil and finasteride, or herbal remedies, have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Although synthetic drugs are effective, they may come with potential side effects. Natural remedies have been proposed as a viable option for treating baldness because many chronic disorders can lead to alopecia. Therefore, this review focuses on identifying efficient alternative treatment agents with limited side effects. Specifically, it considers medicinal plants as potential healing agents for treating baldness. To gather relevant information for this study, several databases were searched, including Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Comprehensive searches were conducted using various search terms, such as "baldness," "alopecia," "natural remedies for baldness," "herbal treatment for baldness," and others, to extract relevant scientific articles. Many medicinal plants and natural compounds have shown potential for reducing baldness, thanks to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. According to existing literature, extracts of medicinal plants and formulations derived from plants, such as Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk, Arctium lappa L., Centella asiatica L., Morinda citrifolia, Acorus calamus var. angustatus, Alpinia zerumbet, ...

Abstract

Metformin is a first-line biguanid drug for type 2 of diabetes mellitus. Metformin potentially causes liver fibrosis in long-term use, its decrease it in their effectiveness of antidiabetic. Combining metformin with antidiabetic a-glucosidase enzyme inhibitors can increase the effectiveness of metformin. Mahkota dewa fruit is a natural ingredient that has antidiabetic activity with the mechanism of action of inhibiting a-glucosidase enzyme. This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of mahkota dewa fruit extract (EEMF) with metformin on the effectiveness of reducing blood glucose levels in diabetic rats. A total of 20 rats were grouped into 4, namely, group I: given distilled water (negative control); group II: given metformin 45 mg/kgBW; group III: given EEMF 50 mg/kgBW; group IV: given a combination of metformin 45 mg/kgBW and EEMF 50 mg/kgBW. The study was conducted by determining blood glucose levels using the GOD-PAP method. The results showed that the combination of EEMF with metformin had an average decrease per day from after induction to day 7 of 42,9 mg/dL and from day 7 to day 14 of 0,45 mg/dL. It can be concluded that the combination of EEMF dose 50 mg/kgBW with metformin 45 mg/kgBW is not recommended to be used together, because the large decrease has the risk of hypoglycemia effect.  Keywords: antidiabetic, alloxan, metformin, fruit of mahkota dewa.

Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is one of the most prevalent lipid disorders worldwide. In the pursuit of drug discovery and development, animal modeling is crucial to elucidate the mechanisms underlying a disease. One form of animal model of NAFLD involves the induction of a high-fat diet (HFD). However, most HFDs exhibit complexity in the formulation, and commercial HFDs tend to be costly. This study aimed to formulate an HFD feed with minimal ingredients that are capable of inducing liver steatosis. This study commenced with the development of 4 dietary formulations (F1, F2, F3, and F4) comprising various food components with specific proportions and treatments. A proximate analysis was conducted for each formulation. Subsequently, the most promising formulation was administered to the rats for 14 days. On day 15, liver organs were harvested for histological analysis. The results showed that among the four formulations developed, HFD F4 exhibited the best physical appearance and nutritional proximate components, characterized by its stability in form and high fat (41.8%), high protein (21.5%), and low carbohydrate (23.2%) content. Histology examination revealed that two weeks of administration of F4 administration led to severe degeneration, inflammation, and necrosis in rat hepatocytes compared to the normal group (p < 0.001), thus confirming that HFD F4 may be developed as an inducer of steatosis in rats.  Keywords: experimental animal model; high-fat diet; liver steatosis ; NAFLD
