Abstract

Papaya plants (Carica papaya L.) can be used as traditional medicine. The parts of the plant commonly used as medicine are the seeds and leaves. Assurance of the quality of the extract obtained needs to be carried out by testing specific and non-specific parameters. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the percentage of ethanol solvent concentration on specific parameters (organoleptic, phytochemical screening, and total phenolic content) and non-specific parameters (moisture content, ash content, and specific gravity) of papaya seed extract (Carica papaya L.). This type of laboratory experimental qualitative research was done to determine the effect of the percentage of ethanol solvent concentration (70% and 95%) on specific and non-specific parameters. Specific and non-specific parameter testing is based on work procedures listed in the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia. The results of testing the specific parameters on organoleptics showed no difference in the extract obtained, which was viscous and dark brown in color with a characteristic odor. Based on qualitative phytochemical screening, 70% ethanol extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. However, the 95% ethanol extract was only positive for alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins. The phenolic content test of 70% ethanol and 95% ethanol extracts was 4.31 ± 0.65 mg GAE/g and 2.69 ± 0.41 mg GAE/g, respectively (Sig 0.022 < 0.05). Extract non-specific parameter test results. The ash content test for 70% and 95% ethanol extracts was 9.5% ± 0.21% w/w and 8.5% ± 0.06% w/w (Sig 0.043 < 0.05). The respective water contents were 8.7 ± 0.11% w/w and 9.7 ± 0.26% w/w (Sig 0.046 < 0.05). The specific gravity of each obtained was 0.88 ± 0.006 % g/ml and 0.75 ± 0.006% g/ml (Sig 0.043 < 0.05). The conclusion of this study is that the concentrations of 70% ethanol  and 95% ethanol in papaya seed ethanol extract have an effect on specific parameters, namely the measurement of total phenolic content. While the non-specific parameters affect the water content, total ash content, and specific gravity.

Abstract

Cancer is a problem in the health sector because this disease has an increasing incidence of morbidity and mortality. While the treatment still leaves some drug side effects, which cause discomfort for cancers sufferers. The arises because most cancer drugs work non-selectively. Because of some of the problems above, it is necessary to encourage the search for alternative drugs treatment of cancer. Voacanga foetida (Blume) Rolfe (Apocynaceae) is a species of plant from the genus Voacanga known as the tampa badak from West Sumatra. This plant is known to be source of indole alkaloids and also bis-indole alkaloids potential as cancer drugs. Therefore, in this study we are interested to explore the potency of this plant as natural product sources with potential cytotoxic activity. The study was started from the isolation process and continued by characterization of the isolated compounds and then testing their cytotoxic activity T47D breast cancer cell line. The isolation process of alkaloid compounds were performed by acid-base extraction, liquid-liquid fractionation, and followed by separation using column chromatography. Then,the potency of cytotoxic activity of the isolates were screened through Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method and evaluated by MTT assay. The structure of three isolated alkaloids (VFB-DB1.1; VFB-DB2.1; and VFB-DB2.2) were charachterized using spectroscopic analyses, including UV and FT-IR. One isolated compound (VFB-DB1.1) was also characterized using 1H NMR spectroscopy. Based on the similarity of 1H NMR spectra of isolated compound when compared with the literature, compound VFB-DB1.1 was identified as voacangine. Then, the BSLT and MTT assay result showed that VFB-DB1.1 exhibited LC50 value of 15.8 µg/mL againt Artemia salina L.and IC50 value of 8.9 µg/mL against T47D breast cancer cells, respectively.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country located in the tropics with sun exposure throughout the season. Sun exposure is the best source of vitamin D and there have been no cases of vitamin D intoxication due to excessive sun exposure. Pharmacy students tend to lack knowledge of vitamin D. Changes in lifestyle and modernization lead to high use of sunscreens which can lead to a decrease in the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin. This research was conducted to determine the differences in knowledge and attitudes towards sun exposure using cross sectional method on 100 first semester pharmacy students and 100 final semester students. Test differences in aspects of knowledge and attitudes using odds ratios. The results of the knowledge aspect odds ratio test are 1,000 and the attitude aspect odds ratio test results were 0.583 so that it can be concluded that both knowledge and attitudes towards sun exposure have the same risk tendency for first semester and final semester pharmacy students.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder defined as chronic hyperglycemia. In addition to the symptoms associated with hyperglycemia itself such as thirst, polyuria and weight loss, it can also cause acute hyperglycemia emergencies that are potentially life threatening. One of the traditional plants that has potential as an antidiabetic drug is the taro plant (Colocasia esculenta L) because it contains chemical compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and polyphenols which are known to have antidiabetic effects. This study aims to determine the effectiveness and what dose of Taro Leaf Extract gives the best effect of reducing blood glucose levels in zebrafish. This study used zebrafish (Danio rerio) induced with alloxan and glucose to raise blood glucose levels. The 20 test animals used were divided into 6 groups, namely group 1 without treatment (normal), group 2 control (-) alloxan induction 0.1% + glucose 1%, group 3 control (+) metformin, group 4 taro leaf extract 200 mg, group 5 taro leaf extract 300 mg, group 6 taro leaf extract 400 mg. Then glucose levels were measured using a glucometer. Data analysis was carried out statistical tests. The results showed that a dose of 400 mg/2L had the ability to reduce blood glucose levels that were not significantly different from normal zebrafish glucose levels.

Abstract

Pharmacophore Enhanced Shape Alignment (PheSA) compares the similarities of compounds based on their pharmacophoric and geometrical  characteristics. Ligand efficiency is a notion used to maximize the potency and effectiveness of medication candidates by taking into account their molecular weight and binding affinity. This study mainly focused on Cycloguanil analogues to evaluate the association between PheSA scores and ligand efficiency in the identification of effective antimalarials. Information on 36 PfDHFR inhibitors, their structures and biological activity was retrieved from the ChEMBL database. Based on shape and pharmacophore similarity, the PheSA algorithm was used to compare the 3D structures of the inhibitors. Based on a de novo synthesis method, 257 new compounds with greater PheSA similarity scores that have a striking resemblance to cycloguanil were created. The PheSA score and ligand efficiency have a moderately positive link (correlation coefficient of 0.675) according to the analysis. However, the virtual screening of cycloguanil analogues based on PheSA similarity scores offers a useful initial evaluation of structural similarity, directing further experimental studies to find interesting substances for the creation of effective antimalarial drug.

Abstract

Erlangea tomentosa (Oliv. & Hiern) S. Moore's leaves, which are in the Asteraceae family, were tested for acute and subacute toxicity in experimental Wistar rats.  Lorke’s (bi-phasic) method was used to evaluate the acute toxicity profile of the plant extract. In phase 2, twelve rats of both sexes were administered a maximum dosage of 5000 mg/kg of extract. Observations of toxicity signs were made and recorded for 2 hours consecutively, for 24 hours intermittently, as well as for the next 14 days. For the subacute study, rats were orally administered water and plant extract daily for 28 days. Toxicological effects were recorded daily, and body weights were documented weekly. Hematological, biochemical, and histopathological tests as well as relative organ weights were evaluated at the conclusion of the study. In phase 2 of the acute toxicity study, it was found that the plant extract was toxic at doses of 1600, 3100, and 5000 mg/kg, with only one death at the highest dose. In the subacute toxicity study, animals that were administered 800 mg/kg of extract for 28 days showed symptoms of toxicity. The weight of the kidneys increased; urea and ALT levels increased; as well as total protein and albumin levels decreased compared to the control group. At the same dose, histopathology examination revealed alterations of the liver and kidneys, while hematopoietic cells were significantly disrupted compared to the control animals. Based on the findings, the methanol-extracted leaves of E. tomentosa showed a moderate level of acute toxicity. The administration of the extract at a dose of 400 mg/kg was safe, but 800 mg/kg was toxic. This caused damage to their livers and kidneys. This led to an increase in ALT and ALP, changes in blood parameters like Hb, RBC, and PLT, as well as the development of inflammatory cells.
