Abstract

The purpose of this research is to separate gadolinium(III) from terbium(III), by the liquid-liquid extraction method, with the extractant dibutyl dithiophosphate. Gadolinium(III) and terbium(III) have been selected in this study to see if the two metallic ions still could be separated although they have only one difference in atomic number, and in fact, terbium (65Tb) is the next to gadolinium(64Gd), in the lanthanide series. Also besides, the two metals have been found together in the same mineral such as gadolinite, and in some other minerals in Indonesia. Extraction parameters have been firstly selected and extraction conditions have been optimized as well, using the experimental design of Plackett Burman. Thus, experiments have been done to select which of the nine parameters (i.e. Gd(III) and Tb(III) concentrations, the concentration of the extractant (dibutyl dithiophosphate), pH, volume ratio of aqueous phase to the organic phase, extraction temperature, shaking rate, shaking time, resting time (after shaking), have their significant effect on the extraction efficiency and separation. The data resulted from this study show that there were five of the nine factors studied that determine the extraction efficiency and separation. They were (with its respective optimum value in the bracket): Gadolinium concentration [Gd(III)](5 ppm), terbium concentration [Tb(III)](5 ppm), pH(3.0), shaking time (10 minutes), and rest time after shaking (10 minutes).

Abstract

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common female cancer worldwide and results in over 300000 deaths globally. Given that HPV prophylactic vaccines do not exert a therapeutic effect in individuals previously infected, it is unlikely that HPV-associated cancers will be eradicated in the coming years. Therefore, there is an emerging need for the development of anti-HPV drugs. The purpose of this study is to find out Monascus sp. as cervical anticancer using molecular docking and dynamics methods. The results of docked with AutodockTools were visualized with Pymol, analyzed the effectiveness using the Ramachandran plot. The docking results show that there are 2 pigments that have lower G than raloxifen in estrogen receptor beta with the lowest G indicated by the pigment Monascin and Ankaflavin, which is -6.94 kcal/mol with Ki value of 39.49 nM and -6.22 kcal/mol with Ki value of 27.78 nM. The results of molecular dynamics, Ankaflavin and Monascin have good stability at estrogen receptor beta because the outlier area has a value 11.722% and 10.256%. And the amino acid residues in the most preferred area were 68.864% and 70.330%. In addition, Monascopyridine B and Monascuspiloin pigments showed good and stable results at the EGFR receptor because the outlier areas were 14.692% and 10.623%. And the amino acid residues in the most-favored region were 65.403% and 73.260%. Based on the results of this study, we predict that Ankaflavin, Monascin, Monascopyridine B and Monascuspiloin can be used as new cervical anticancer candidates after validated with in vitro and in vivo tests.

Abstract

Asthma is a heterogeneous disease which is also one of the major health problems in the world. Uncontrolled asthma symptoms will exacerbate asthma, which is the biggest cause of the patient into the ER. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that belonged to the short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA), which is an obligatory choice in the management of asthma exacerbations. Unlike the aminophylline group in Indonesia which is still often used widely and rarely appear in the side effects of its use. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of nebulized salbutamol versus intravenous aminophylline for reduction in asthma symptoms, improvement in lung function, and a long hospital stay. The study involved 57 adults asthma exacerbation patients without complication who received treatment in the ER, were studied by using quasi-experimental methods in this study cost-effectiveness analysis to compare intravenous aminophylline (n:27) versus nebulized salbutamol (n:30) therapy to determine the most cost-effective. Intravenous aminophylline therapy was more cost-effective than nebulized salbutamol in reducing the symptoms of asthma and PEF value improvement. Clinical outcome of the length of hospital stay outcome both had the same effective, and cost analysis results showed intravenous aminophylline (US$5.38) cheaper than nebulized salbutamol (US$5.71). intravenous aminophylline was more effective in reducing asthma symptoms than nebulized salbutamol (Pvalue=0.001). Meanwhile, the average decrease in lung function intravenous aminophylline than nebulized salbutamol, although not significantly different (Pvalue=0.507). Aminophylline therapy was more cost-effective in reducing asthma symptoms and improvement in lung function compared nebulized salbutamol in exacerbations asthma patients. But cost-effectiveness researchers need to measure substance abuse outcomes in terms of Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY), as this will make their findings more relevant to the development of treatment policy.

Abstract

The issue of water quality is becoming ever more serious as freshwater resources are severely degraded across the world. Water quality in rivers, streams, lakes, and subterranean aquifers is deteriorating, posing a threat to human life and ecological sustainability. A proper study of the physico-chemical properties of the water samples give us insight into the quality of life in a specific region, as poor water quality not only affects the aquatic life but the surrounding ecosystem as well. In the present study, 30 different water samples were collected from different regions of district Mardan and they were analyzed for their physico-chemical properties such as pH, total suspended solids, conductivity, total dissolved solids, nitrates concentration, sulphates concentration, chlorides concentration, dissolved oxygen, and biochemical oxygen demand. The results of the analysis show that most of the parameters have significantly higher values than the WHO permissible limits. From the analysis of water samples, the researchers have been able to designate the study area with poor water quality and to propose future advice for sustaining the water quality in the region.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to study the synergistic effect on the nitric oxide scavenging activity of mangosteen pericarp and the stingless bee (Tetragonula laviceps) propolis extracts and their phytochemical constituents. The propolis and mangosteen pericarp were extracted by reflux method with ethanol. TPC and TFC of propolis extract were 123.73±2.80 mg GAE/g extract and 70.65±11.21 mg QE/g extract, respectively, and mangosteen pericarp extract was 387.93±15.10 mg GAE/g extract and 87.00±5.06 mg QE/g extract, respectively. The ESI-LC-MS data displayed that both extracts have a variety of phytochemical constituents, such as xanthones, flavonoids, and miscellaneous. The synergistic effect of Nitric oxide scavenging activities of propolis and mangosteen pericarp extracts showed higher activity than individual extracts with various concentrations. Thus, the synergistic effect of propolis and mangosteen pericarp extracts may be an alternative source of inflammatory drug development in the future.

Abstract

The study aimed to determine genistein content and tyrosinase inhibition activity of 70% ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of edamame (Glycine max) with an extraction time of 15, 30, and 60 minutes. Extraction was performed using the ultrasonication method. Determination of genistein content was carried out using TLC-densitometry. Furthermore, all samples were tested for their tyrosinase inhibition activity using the spectrophotometric assay. Ethyl acetate extract with 60 min of extraction time exhibited the highest extraction yield (6.414% w/w), the highest genistein content (0.169 ± 0.007% w/w), and the highest tyrosinase inhibition activity (IC50 = 72.420 ± 0.550 µg/mL). It was known that the genistein content of 70% ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts affected tyrosinase inhibition activity with correlation coefficient (r) values of 0.9973 and 0.9826, respectively. G. max was suggested as a tyrosinase inhibitor agent from natural sources for skin whitening product development due to its isoflavones content, mainly genistein.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to design an implant for a ciprofloxacin-based drug delivery system by combining bovine hydroxyapatite and collagen with genipin as the crosslinking agent. The production of ciprofloxacin implants using bovine hydroxyapatite:collagen blend (70:30). In addition, this synthetic preparation was made using three various concentrations of genipin (0.6, 0.8, and 1.0%). The pellets were created by compressing the implants. The tablets are cylindrical with a diameter of 4.0 mm and a weight of 100.0 mg. Ciprofloxacin cultures were characterized for swelling rate, porosity, density, compressive strength, morphology (SEM), dose, and drug release in vitro. The addition of genipin as a crosslinking agent may maintain ciprofloxacin release consistent with in vitro therapeutic levels of ciprofloxacin. These results are supported by compressive strength data, where the addition of genipin concentrations induces higher implant stiffness and scanning electron microscopy photomicrographs reveal small pore sizes and BHA adhere to collagen fibers so that ciprofloxacin is completely dispersed in the implant after cross-linking with genipin. As a drug delivery system for osteomyelitis, it can be concluded that the use of genipin as a cross-linking agent can sustain ciprofloxacin release commensurate with in vitro therapeutic levels of ciprofloxacin for 30 days.
