Abstract

Momordica charantia L fruit provides an immunomodulatory effect by stimulating certain components of the body's immune system. Bioactive phytochemicals from M. charantia L function as anti-inflammatory agents by reducing levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion including IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, NF-kB. This research looks at the insilico mechanism of action of the active ingredient of the EtOAc fraction of M. charantia L fruit as an immunostimulant and anti-inflammatory. The materials and methods used were an Intel Core i7 10 Th Gen laptop, Chem Office Professional 17.1, Chem 2D, Chem 3D software, PDB code (6W9K) and ligand (TUA), Stigmastan-3,6 dione (C29H48O2) from the EtOAc fraction of fruit M. charantia L was docked using MVD software, RMSD and RMSF values ​​were viewed using Yasara Software, pkCSM online tool to predict compound toxicity, toxicity prediction (LD50) was used by Protox online tool. The results of molecular docking of standard compounds, namely Methylprednisolone and Prednisolone and Stigmastan-3,6-dione, have Rerank Score values of -120.62, -121.47, -79.50, respectively. The lower the Rerank score value, the lower the binding energy between the protein and the ligand, causing the protein and ligand bonds to be more stable and it is predicted that the activity of the compound will be greater. The movement of RMSD values ​​between 0.6-1.9 Å for the 3 (three) compounds, is still within stable limits and does not undergo conformation. The RMSF value of the 3 (three) compounds has the same amino acid residue pattern. The insilico toxicity prediction for the 3 (three) compounds is still within safe limits. The EtOAc fraction of M. charantia L fruit with the active compound Stigmastan-3,6-Dione in its mechanism of action in silico shows activity as an anti-inflammatory and immunostimulant that works on the NF-kB pathway.

Abstract

Nigella sativa is one of the medicinal plants that are efficacious for treating diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to damage of insulin action, insulin production, and/or both. In this study, the molecular structure similarity analysis of the compounds in Nigella sativa to acarbose and the correlation analysis of the similarity with its activity as antidiabetic with the mechanism of maltase glucoamylase (MGAM) inhibition was carried out. Similarity analysis has been done used Tanimoto coefficient. The prediction of MGAM inhibitory activity has been done using molecular docking with molegro virtual docker. The Kaempferol 3-glucosyl-(1-2)-galactosyl-(1-2)-glucoside; (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene; Quercetin 3-glucosyl-(1-2)-galactosyl-(1-2)-glucoside; Oleic Acid has activity as an inhibitor of MGAM with rerank score -107.8770, -102.1760, -95.7338, -92.4246 respectively and these has Tanimoto score 0.426, 0.319, 0.413, 0.357 respectively. The correlation analysis obtained that there is a significant relationship between the Tanimoto Coefficient and Rerank Score with the opposite relationship because the correlation value is negative. Greater the degree of molecular structure similarity of Nigella sativa’s compounds to acarbose more likely has the similar biological activity as MGAM inhibitory

Abstract

The okra fruit (A esculentus fructus) is renowned for its significant antioxidant properties, attributed to its rich content of bioactive compounds. Despite its high antioxidant activity, which has been extensively documented, its potential as a component in cosmetic formulations particularly lip balm preparation remains underutilized. This study seeks to address this gap by incorporating okra fruit extract into lip balm formulations and evaluating the resulting physical and functional attributes. Lip balm formulations were developed with three varying concentrations of Ethanol okra fruit extract: F1 (1%), F2 (3%), and F3 (5%). A series of comprehensive evaluations were conducted to assess the physical stability and performance of the lip balms, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, melting point, spreadability, and overall stability. Stability was monitored over a 28-day period at room temperature to simulate typical storage conditions. The antioxidant efficacy of the okra extract was quantified using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay, which yielded an IC50 value of 10.06 µg/ml, reflecting its potent free radical scavenging capacity. In comparison, the lip balm formulations demonstrated higher IC50 values, with Formulation I (FI) at 46.35 µg/ml, Formulation II (FII) at 40 µg/ml, and Formulation III (FIII) at 30.23 µg/ml, indicating a reduction in antioxidant activity in the formulated products compared to the pure extract.. The lip balm formulations exhibited a distinct okra aroma, smooth texture, and uniform color variations ranging from light brown (F1), brown (F2), to dark brown (F3). pH values ranged from 5.40 to 5.81, and melting points were between 49.6°C and 52.9°C, all within the acceptable range as per SNI 16-4769-1998 standards. ANOVA statistical analysis revealed no significant changes (p > 0.05) in melting point and spreadability over time. However, significant differences (p < 0.05) were noted in pH values, with further analysis indicating that formulations F2 and F3 differed significantly from F1 (p < 0.05). These results demonstrate that okra fruit extract not only enhances the antioxidant properties of lip balm but also maintains its stability and functionality, supporting its potential as a valuable ingredient in cosmetic formulations.

Abstract

Sungkai (Peronema canescens Jack) (PCL) contains flavonoid compounds that can absorb UV light therefore having the potential to be developed as a raw material for cosmetics that functions as a sunscreen. The research aims to formulate PCL extract into a sunscreen cream. Sungkai leaves are macerated using 96% ethanol solvent. Specific and non-specific parameter tests were carried out on the extract as well as antioxidant tests using the DPPH method and SPF tests using the Mansur method. The results of this research showed that 96% ethanol extract of PCL had a blackish-green color, pH 5.25; the ethanol and water-soluble essence levels were 6.25% and 5.17%. The water content obtained is 27.4%; drying shrinkage is 0.46%; total ash content is 0.12% and acid insoluble ash content is 0.1%. The antioxidant value obtained was 35.06 ppm. Three cream formulations were prepared (FI of 0.1753%, FII of 0.3506%, and FIII of 0.5259%) and evaluated for organoleptic, homogeneity, cream type, viscosity, pH, particle size, and spreadability tests for one month at 25℃ and 40℃. The organoleptic test results of the cream have a soft texture, with varying colors; light green (FI), green (FII), and dark green (FIII) color. Other evaluation test results show that the cream has a pH of 5.16 - 6.73, a spreadability of 6.47 - 8.07 cm, a viscosity of 15466.67 - 38933.33 cPs, a particle size of 9.88 - 16.17 µm and an SPF of 17.68 (FI), 27.46 (FII), and 33.64 (FIII) with ultra protection on all three. PCL extract after being formulated into creams shows high SPF activity with F3 as the best formula. PCL extract can be formulated into a cream form that meets physical and chemical quality parameters.
