Abstract

Averrhoa bilimbi, a plant native to Indonesian, exhibits antioxidant, sunscreen, and tyrosinase inhibitory activities due to its polyphenol and flavonoid content. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-aging efficacy of a topical cream containing A. bilimbi fruit extract through a human clinical trial. The extract was obtained by maceration using 70% ethanol and formulated into a water-in-oil (W/O) cream at concentrations of 1% (F1), 3% (F2), and 5% (F3). Each formulation was evaluated for its physical characteristics, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, and viscosity. Irritation tests were conducted on animals and human volunteers. A total of 24 human subjects applied the cream for 30 days. Skin condition parameters—sebum, moisture, pigmentation, pore size, elasticity, and collagen fibers—were assessed before and after treatment using a skin analyzer. The results showed that the F3 formulation produced the most notable improvements, including increased skin moisture and elasticity, and decreased pigmentation and pore size. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements (p < 0.05) in pore size and elasticity for the F3 group. These findings indicate that the 5% A. bilimbi extract cream is a safe and effective anti-aging topical formulation.

Abstract

Purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) leaves are traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory remedy. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of purple sweet potato leaf ethanolic extract and its formulation into tablet dosage forms with varying concentrations of polyvinylpyrrolidone and amylum as binders. The extract was obtained through maceration using 96% ethanol and tested for anti-inflammatory activity using the bovine serum albumin denaturation method. The extract showed strong anti-inflammatory activity with an IC₅₀ value of 62.628 ppm compared to sodium diclofenac with an IC₅₀ of 57.326 ppm. The extract was then formulated into tablets with binder ratios of 1:0, 0:1, 1:1, 2:3, and 1:4 (polyvinylpyrrolidone: amylum) using wet granulation. Evaluation of physical properties indicated that the 1:1 binder ratio produced tablets that met quality requirements, including hardness, friability, and disintegration time. These results suggest that I. batatas leaf extract has potent anti-inflammatory properties and is suitable for development into a tablet formulation with appropriate binder ratios.

Abstract

Secang (Caesalpinia sappan L.) wood contains flavonoid compounds such as brazilin, 3'-O-methylbrazilin, sappanin chalcone, and sappan chalcone, which act as primary and secondary antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that can inhibit oxidation reactions by neutralizing free radicals. Enhancing the antioxidant potential of C. sappan wood can be achieved by developing a topical dosage form. Peel-off gel masks are an ideal form due to their ability to improve skin health and provide ease and comfort in application. This study aimed to formulate a peel-off gel mask containing C. sappan extract and evaluate its physical properties and antioxidant activity. The formulations were prepared using 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% extract with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, and propylene glycol as the base. The resulting masks were assessed for physical characteristics (pH, viscosity, spreadability, adhesiveness, and drying time) and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. The results indicated that increasing the extract concentration significantly (p < 0.05) increased viscosity, adhesiveness, and drying time, while decreasing pH, spreadability, and IC₅₀ value. All formulations demonstrated strong antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ between 50–100 µg/mL), with IC₅₀ values of 88.71 µg/mL, 81.58 µg/mL, and 79.04 µg/mL, respectively.

Abstract

Orthosiphon stamineus has demonstrated antihypertensive potential, but the specific bioactive compounds involved remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate selected phytochemicals from O. stamineus as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) targeting protein 4ZUD using in-silico methods. Molecular docking was conducted to assess binding affinity, while ADMET analysis evaluated pharmacokinetics and toxicity. Salvianolic acid E showed the strongest binding affinity with a rerank score of −134.02 kcal/mol, surpassing olmesartan (−124.52 kcal/mol). Key interactions were observed with amino acid residues Arg167, Tyr92, and Asp281. ADMET predictions revealed that Salvianolic acid E has good aqueous solubility, moderate intestinal absorption (HIA 45.99%), and low membrane permeability (Caco-2 < 0.4). It does not inhibit major cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and is predicted to be non-hepatotoxic, suggesting favorable safety and metabolic profiles. These findings highlight Salvianolic acid E as a promising phytochemical candidate for antihypertensive drug development.

Abstract

The fruit of Pandanus tectorius, commonly known as screw pine or sea pandan, contains various secondary metabolites with significant therapeutic potential but remains underutilized in clinical applications. This review summarizes findings from 2014 to 2025 regarding its phytochemical composition and pharmacological effects. Sixteen bioactive compounds have been identified, including pandanusin A, bergapten, scoparone, scopoletin, several lignans, isoamericanin A, kaempferol, chrysin, phenolic acids, betulinic acid, and β-sitosterol. These constituents demonstrate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Mechanistic actions include inhibition of alpha-glucosidase, reduction of oxidative stress, and induction of cytotoxicity in cancer cells. The ethyl acetate fraction, in particular, exhibits strong activity against HeLa cells. Novel delivery systems, such as nanoemulsions, are being explored to enhance solubility and bioavailability. Additionally, preclinical studies suggest roles in immune modulation, wound healing, and pain relief. Although promising, further clinical validation and formulation standardization are needed. This review highlights the potential of P. tectorius fruit as a candidate for evidence-based phytotherapeutic development.

Abstract

Productive cough is a common symptom of bacterial respiratory infections. Red hanjuang (Cordyline fruticosa L.) leaves have been traditionally used to relieve such conditions. This study aimed to standardize red hanjuang leaf plant material and evaluate the antibacterial activity of its 70% ethanol extract against Staphylococcus aureus. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, polyphenols, quinones, steroids, monoterpenoids, and sesquiterpenoids. Antibacterial activity was tested using the well diffusion method at concentrations of 10%, 25%, 35%, and 50%, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests ranging from 10% to 0.8%. Specific and non-specific standardization showed water-soluble extract at 34.593%, ethanol-soluble extract at 31.663%, moisture content at 4.67%, drying loss at 9.57%, total ash content at 7.70%, and acid-insoluble ash at 0.89%. The extract demonstrated strong antibacterial activity at all tested concentrations. The lowest active concentration was 10%, with an MIC value at 8%, forming an inhibition zone of 2.43 mm. These findings support the potential of red hanjuang leaves as an herbal antibacterial agent.

Abstract

Schleichera oleosa L. is traditionally used in herbal medicine and has shown pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial effects. Its antioxidant capacity is attributed to polyphenols, which neutralize free radicals and contribute to liver protection. This study evaluated the hepatoprotective effect of S. oleosa leaf extract against paracetamol-induced liver injury in rats. Antioxidant activity was measured using the DPPH method, yielding an IC₅₀ of 11.43 µg/mL, indicating strong activity. Rats were administered 50, 100, or 150 mg/kg body weight of extract, followed by 1000 mg/kg paracetamol to induce liver damage. SGOT and SGPT levels were significantly reduced in all extract groups compared to the negative control, with the 100 mg/kg dose being the most effective. However, curcumin showed superior protection. These results suggest that S. oleosa has hepatoprotective potential, but further studies are needed to confirm its long-term safety and efficacy.
