Abstract

Free radicals are compounds that can cause damage to human body cells, which can be prevented with antioxidants. Antioxidants can be found in several natural ingredients, such as water guava leaves. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of an ethanol extract from water guava leaves (Syzygium aqueum Burm F). The water guava leaves used came from the Kempek Palimanan Cirebon area. Extraction was carried out using the maceration method using a 96% ethanol solvent until a concentrated extract was obtained. The extract was identified for secondary metabolite content using a reagent test. An antioxidant activity test was carried out using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. Analysis of the strength of antioxidant activity is carried out by calculating the IC50 value, which is based on the percent inhibition of free radicals by the test sample by comparing Vitamin C. Identification of active compounds in the concentrated ethanol extract of water guava leaves indicated the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins. The antioxidant activity of an ethanolic 96% extract of water guava leaves (Syzygium aquarium) in this study had an IC50 value of 6.89 ppm, which shows very strong antioxidant activity in warding off free radicals.

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
