Abstract

Arabic Bidara Leaves (Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Desf.) contain flavonoids, including quercetin, which has SPF properties. The goal of this research was to examine the properties and SPF activity of crude extract, nanoparticle extract, and lyophilized powder of Arabian Bidara Leaves. Arabian Bidara Leaves were extracted using the UAE technique with 70% ethanol solvent. The crude extract was converted into nanoparticle extract using the ionic glass process and then freeze dried to produce lyophilized powder.  Then the properties and SPF value were investigated.  The study found that the crude extract of Arabian Bidara Leaves has a brownish green color, 10.42%±0.36 water content, 4.68±0.01 pH, and 19.98±0.15 SPF. The nanoparticle extract has a clear yellow color, distinct odor, liquid form, and can be stored for 5 days without sediment formation. It has a particle size of 268.6 nm±3.75, polydispersity index of 0.547±0.06, zeta potential of -6.07 mV, adsorption efficiency of 89.60%, spherical morphology, and an SPF value of 29.96±0.69. The lyophilized powder is brown, flake-shaped, and has an SPF of 29.27±0.76. The results of this investigation show that the leaves of the Arabian bidara have SPF activity in the ultra protection category.

Abstract

This literature review looks at how phytotherapy affects immune regulation in degenerative diseases like neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and metabolic disorders. We begin by outlining a theoretical framework that explains how chronic inflammation, caused by pathways such as NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome, plays a central role in these conditions. Next, we explore how different phytochemicals, including flavonoids, stilbenes, and phenolic acids, achieve their therapeutic effects by influencing these important inflammatory pathways, lowering cytokine production, and offering antioxidant support. The review applies this knowledge to specific diseases, emphasizing how compounds like curcumin and resveratrol may help reduce neuroinflammation and improve immune balance. Finally, we discuss the main challenges related to bioavailability and standardization, suggesting future research paths to realize the full potential of these natural compounds as effective strategies for managing chronic degenerative conditions.

Abstract

Binahong leaves are a herbal plant that is used to cure several diseases in Indonesia. Binahong leaves have flavonoids that can be potentially beneficial for antioxidants and sunscreen. The study aims to formulate an extract and a nanoparticle extract from binahong leaves into a gel and determine antioxidant and sunscreen activity. Binahong leaves were macerated using 70% ethanol and concentrated with a rotary evaporator. Then the extract was made into nanoparticles using the ionic gelation method. The nanoparticles were characterized for particle size, zeta potential, and morphological shape. The results showed that the nanoparticles were 192.7 nm in size, zeta potential of +25.3 mV, and spherical in shape. Antioxidant and sunscreen activity tests were analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Determination of antioxidant activity using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenger activity method. The binahong leaves extract and nanoparticles had IC50 values of 68.78 ppm (moderate) and 152.18 ppm (weak). The antioxidant gel binahong leaves had IC50 of Formula II (174.85 ppm) and Formula III (221.14 ppm). The sunscreen activity was analyzed by determining the SPF value. Binahong leaves extract and nanoparticles had SPF values of 16.92 and 21.55 (ultra category). The sunscreen gel binahong leaves extract (formula II) and nanoparticles (formula III) had SPF values of 2.61 and 3.3 (minimal category). Gel preparations were evaluated, including organoleptic, homogeneity, spreadability, viscosity, and pH test. Binahong leaves extract and nanoparticles extract had antioxidant activity and SPF value that could be formulated into a gel preparation.

Abstract

Colocasia esculenta has been reported in reputable journals to exhibit various bioactivities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacognostic characteristics and phytochemical profile of Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum corm (Araceae). The corms were collected, authenticated, oven-dried, and subjected to preliminary pharmacognostic and phytochemical analyses. Pharmacognostic evaluations included organoleptic, microscopic, and physicochemical examinations. The dried corm powder was extracted with distilled water, followed by qualitative phytochemical screening. The extract was found to contain saponins, flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenoids. Antimicrobial activity was further evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans, which were selected as representative pathogenic microorganisms for Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi, respectively. These microorganisms were chosen based on previous reports demonstrating that the ethanolic leaf extract of taro exhibited antifungal activity against Candida albicans and antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, and Escherichia coli. However, no inhibitory effect was observed in this study. All analyses were performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopeia. The findings provide reference data for the pharmacognostic identification of Colocasia esculenta corm and highlight its phytochemical constituents. Further investigations on other biological activities are required to validate its therapeutic potential.

Abstract

Curcumin has been widely recognized for its broad therapeutic potential, including its emerging role as an antiviral agent. However, its clinical translation is limited by poor aqueous solubility, rapid metabolism, and low oral bioavailability. To address these challenges, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have been proposed as a promising delivery system to enhance curcumin stability and systemic availability. This study aimed to formulate curcumin-loaded NLCs, optimize their physicochemical characteristics, and develop an oral tablet dosage form using the wet granulation method with super-disintegrant variation. The optimized NLC formulation was prepared and subsequently freeze-dried prior to compression into tablets. Particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, morphology, entrapment efficiency (EE), and loading capacity (LC) were evaluated. Tablets were formulated using starch, croscarmellose sodium (2% and 3%), PVP, aerosil, and Avicel PH 102, followed by assessment of physical quality parameters including weight uniformity, hardness, friability, disintegration, and dissolution profile. The optimized NLCs exhibited desirable nanoscale characteristics, with particle size of 70.95 nm, PDI 0.379, zeta potential −23.9 mV, spherical morphology, EE 99.75%, and LC 9.93%. The resulting tablets were yellow, bitter, and odorless, with acceptable pharmacopeial quality. Weight and size uniformity were within limits, hardness was 3.81 kg/cm² and 4.38 kg/cm², friability 1.45% and 0.50%, and disintegration times 1.86 min and 1.28 min for 2% and 3% super-disintegrant, respectively. Dissolution profiles indicated 26.12% and 25.79% release within the test period. Curcumin can be successfully formulated into stable NLCs with excellent encapsulation efficiency and incorporated into wet-granulated tablets meeting pharmacopeial standards. The use of 3% croscarmellose sodium provided the most favorable disintegration profile, suggesting its potential as an optimized oral dosage form to improve curcumin delivery and bioavailability.

Abstract

Black mulberry (Morus nigra) is rich in flavonoids and anthocyanins with antioxidant and conditioning properties that can improve hair health. However, its incorporation into a stable 2-in-1 conditioner-shampoo formulation remains limited. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physical stability of conditioner-shampoo preparations containing M. nigra ethanolic extract at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15% w/w using sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES) and cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) as surfactant bases. Each formulation was prepared by gradual mixing of aqueous and surfactant phases, followed by the addition of conditioning agents and active extract. Physical characteristics—including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, foam height, and viscosity—were evaluated before and after six cycles of a stability test at 4 °C and 40 °C. All formulas exhibited homogeneous brown appearance with peppermint aroma and acceptable foam stability. The initial pH decreased with increasing extract concentration (F1 = 6.74; F2 = 5.95; F3 = 3.97) and slightly decreased after cycling (F1 = 6.21; F2 = 5.84; F3 = 3.61). Viscosity values ranged from 44,000 to 70,000 mPas and decreased after temperature cycling, whereas foam height remained within acceptable limits (≈ 1.5–2.3 cm). Among the tested formulations, F2 (10% extract) showed the most balanced properties in terms of pH, viscosity, and foam stability. In conclusion, a 10% M. nigra ethanolic extract conditioner-shampoo demonstrated good physical stability and potential as a natural antioxidant and conditioning hair-care product.
