Abstract

Scaling up is one of the difficulties faced by the production process of the pharmaceutical industry. We must manufacture in higher quantities than a laboratory size with set requirements as we scale up. Understanding the crucial variables that affect the final product's specifications will aid in choosing appropriate upgrade settings. Fluidized-bed granulation is one of the most frequently used techniques to increase the scale of the pharmaceutical industry. The complex fluidized bed granulation process is influenced by several factors. The most important process variables were the intake air temperature and humidity, concentration of the binder solution, spray rate, atomizing air pressure, and air flow rate. Numerous investigations have examined the effects of large-scale fluid bed granulation. An improved fluid bed granulation technology was employed based on the relative droplet size and moisture content of the powder in the bed after the spraying cycle. These values are comparable, demonstrating that the granulation procedure can be enhanced by considering only the moisture content of the powder and relative droplet size. Keywords: fluid bed granulation, process parameters, scale up

Abstract

Empirically utilized medicinal plants include Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera L) and Karuk leaves (Piper sarmentosum Roxb. Ex. Hunter). Moringa leaves contain active compounds, such as vitamins, carotenoids, polyphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, alkaloids, glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, tannins, saponins, and oxalates. The leaves of karuk contain polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. This study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory activity of combination capsules of Moringa and Karuk leaf extracts in mice (Mus musculus). Anti-inflammatory agents are drugs that can suppress or reduce inflammation. The aim of the experimental method used in this study was to determine the optimal concentration for anti-inflammatory activity. Carrageenan as an inflammatory mediator in mouse paws. The anti-inflammatory test involved five groups of animals, each consisting of five mice. The negative control group received Na-CMC, the positive control group was administered diclofenac sodium, and the test samples involved a combination capsule of Moringa and Karuk leaf extract at doses of 350, 700, and 1,050 mg. Measurements were performed every hour for 6 hours after carrageenan induction. Data analysis employed the One-way ANOVA method to ascertain whether variations in the dose of the combination capsule of Moringa and Karuk leaf extracts affected anti-inflammatory activity in mice. The results indicate that the greatest inflammation inhibition occurs with the 1,050 mg dose, resulting in 23% inhibition, followed by 22% at 700 mg and 13% at 350 mg. Statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.048, which was less than 0.05. This suggests a significant difference in the anti-inflammatory activity among the test groups ...

Abstract

Acne is a skin disorder characterized by inflammation in the form of comedones, papules, pustules, and nodules. The disease is caused by the gram-positive bacterium,  Propionibacterium acnes. Treatment of the disease using antibiotic agents such as erythromycin and clindamycin has been reported to cause some side effects. Therefore, alternative antibacterial agents derived from natural products are required to reduce the occurrence of side effects. Kipahit (Tithonia diversifolia A. Gray) is one of the plants with pharmacological activities, such as antibacterial and antiprotozoal activities. The aim of this study was to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a 96% ethanolic extract of kipahit leaves on the growth of P. acnes. Kipahit leaves were extracted through the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using the liquid dilution method. A serial dilution was performed to prepare a series of extract concentrations: 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.13%, 1.56%, 0.78%, and 0.39%. Whereas, clindamycin and DMSO 1% were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Phytochemical  screening showed  that  the 96% ethanolic extract of kipahit leaves contains flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, steroids/triterpenoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds. In addition, the extract showed   inhibitory activity against P. acnes at concentrations ranging from 25% to 1,56%. In contrast, the extract showed  no inhibitory activity at concentrations of 0.78% and 0.39%. Further experiments confirmed that kipahit leaf extract acted as a bacteriostatic agent (inhibiting bacterial growth) at a minimum concentration of 1.56%.  Keywords: Acne, Propionibacterium acnes, Kipahit, MIC

Abstract

Fever is a medical condition characterized by an increased body temperature beyond the normal range of 36 – 37°C. If not managed appropriately, fever may lead to complications in therapy. The conventional treatment for fever involves using antipyretics such as paracetamol/acetaminophen, and ibuprofen. However, prolonged use of these synthetic medications may have adverse side effects. Consequently, more patients are turning to herbal medicine to manage fever. This review aims to identify medicinal plants with pharmacological activity as antipyretics. We conducted a systematic literature review using Google Scholar as the search engine database. Our search keywords were “tanaman herbal”, “antipiretik", “penurun demam", and "uji aktivitas antipiretik". In this review, a total of 18 articles were meticulously analyzed. The collective findings from these studies demonstrated that all tested medicinal plants exhibited antipyretic activity. Flavonoids, tannins, and terpenoids were the primary constituents responsible for the observed antipyretic activity. Medicinal plants with alkaloids and steroid content were also believed to exhibit antipyretic activity. Keywords: fever, antipyretics, medicinal plants

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia furfur One of the microbes that can cause folliculitis is the inflammation of the skin in the hair follicles. The use of natural ingredients as antimicrobials must be developed as an alternative to overcome the resistance and side effects of chemical drugs. Tigarun (Crataeva magna DC.) is a typical plant in South Kalimantan that can be developed as a natural antimicrobial agent for the treatment of skin infections. Previous studies have reported that tigarun has antimicrobial activity, but no studies have reported its potential antimicrobial activity against folliculitis-causing microbes. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the antimicrobial activity of 96% ethanol extracts of the flowers, leaves, and stem bark of tigarun (Crataeva magna DC.) against microbes that cause folliculitis, including Staphylococcus aureus and Malassezia furfur. Extraction was performed by the maceration method using 96% ethanol. The antimicrobial activities of the extracts were tested using the agar diffusion method. Based on the results of the antimicrobial activity test using the agar diffusion method, the tigarun flower extract showed better antimicrobial activity than the leaf and tigarun bark extracts. Flower extract activity at 200 mg/mL concentrations against Staphylococcus aureus (10.65 ± 0.25) and the fungus Malassezia furfur (7.40 ± 0.40) with moderate inhibition zone ketogenic  Keywords: Folliculitis, tigarun, antimicrobial, agar diffusion
