Abstract

Prostate cancer is characterized by abnormal growth of prostate gland cells due to uncontrolled cellular proliferation. Brazilin, a homoisoflavonoid compound derived from Caesalpinia sappan L., is known for its anticancer activity. This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of brazilin on DU145 prostate cancer cells through an in vitro assay employing the WST-8 method. The results showed that both brazilin and cisplatin significantly reduced the cancer cell survival rate compared to the negative control group (p < 0.05). Although no significant difference was observed between the two compounds at the highest concentration (ns), their IC₅₀ values differed significantly (p < 0.05), recorded at 18.92 ppm for brazilin and 0.03569 ppm for cisplatin; both were classified as highly active. These findings suggest that brazilin possesses cytotoxic potential comparable to cisplatin at elevated concentrations and may be developed further as a naturally derived anticancer agent.

Abstract

Coelogyne pandurata Lindl., a black orchid endemic to Kalimantan, contains valuable antioxidant compounds. This study optimized its extraction using a Simplex-Centroid Mixture Design with ethanol, methanol, and acetic acid as solvents. Responses evaluated were total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant capacity (DPPH). The highest TPC was obtained with 100% ethanol (2.52 mg GAE/g), TFC with equal parts of all solvents (6.41 mg QE/g), and antioxidant activity with 100% methanol (10.33 µmol TE/g). Ethanol yielded the optimal extraction condition, with verification values of 2.27 mg GAE/g (TPC), 3.42 mg QE/g (TFC), and 10.22 µmol TE/g (DPPH), and a desirability of 0.739. Although regression models were not statistically significant (p > 0.05), the results provide preliminary insights into solvent efficiency for extracting bioactive compounds. Further studies with expanded experimental designs and validation are required to enhance model accuracy and extraction reliability.

Abstract

The skin is the body’s primary barrier against free radicals, which can induce oxidative stress and premature ageing. Antioxidants neutralize these radicals. This study aims to formulate and evaluate a cream containing ethanol extract of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) seed coat. Four formulations were prepared with extract concentrations of 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. Physical evaluations included organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, cream type, spreadability, and adhesiveness. Antioxidant activity was measured using the DPPH method. All formulations met physical standards, and formula F4 (25%) showed the highest antioxidant activity with an IC₅₀ value of 79.49 ppm. These findings indicate the potential of mung bean seed coat extract as an active antioxidant agent in topical preparations.

Abstract

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis mill) and chamomile (Matricaria recutita) contain active compounds in the form of aloin and apigenin, which function as moisturizers with soothing and antioxidant effects that can neutralize free radicals that cause oxidative stress on the skin. This study aims to determine the optimal formula for a moisturizing stick that combines Aloe vera and chamomile extracts, based on physical properties, effectiveness as a moisturizer, and antioxidant activity. The dry extract was obtained by percolation with 96% ethanol and dried using a spray dryer. The dry extract will be standardized for specific and non-specific tests. The optimum moisturizing stick formula was obtained using the factorial design method. The factors used were aloe vera extract with a concentration of (-1) 10% and a concentration of (+1) 20%, as well as chamomile extract with a concentration of (-1) 5% and a concentration of (+1) 15%. Determination of the optimum formula was carried out using a factorial design method using the following responses: hardness, spreadability, moisture [AUC], and antioxidant activity (IC50). The moisturizing stick formulation uses a hot melt extrusion method. The data from the parametric experiments between batches and formulas will be analyzed using the One-Way Anova (Yate's Treatment). The results showed that increasing aloe vera extract increased the spreadability and moisture, while increasing chamomile extract increased the antioxidant activity. The interaction between the extracts had a significant effect on all parameters. The optimum formula was obtained at a concentration of 18.711% aloe vera and 8.167% chamomile, which met the quality and effectiveness criteria.

Abstract

Garlic peel (Allium sativum L.) is a household waste that contains bioactive compounds with potential antibacterial activity. This study aimed to formulate an emulgel containing ethanolic garlic peel extract and evaluate its physical characteristics and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes. The emulgel was evaluated for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, and viscosity. Antibacterial activity was tested using the agar diffusion method. The formulation showed acceptable physical characteristics for topical use. The emulgel inhibited the growth of both bacteria, with inhibition zones of 12.16 mm against S. aureus and 11.02 mm against P. acnes. The antibacterial activity may be related to the presence of flavonoids, saponins, phenolic compounds, and allicin in garlic peel extract. These results suggest that garlic peel extract can be formulated into an emulgel with potential antibacterial activity.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Morus alba leaves contain bioactive compounds with potential antidiabetic activity. This study evaluated the hypoglycemic and β-cell protective effects of ethanolic M. alba leaf extract (EMA) in diabetic rats. The extract was obtained through maceration, yielding 12.14%. Wistar rats were divided into normal control, negative control, positive control, EMA100 (100 mg/kg BW), and EMA200 (200 mg/kg BW). Diabetes was induced using a high-fat diet, 2% sucrose solution, and low-dose streptozotocin. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) and pancreatic histopathology were analyzed. EMA significantly reduced FBG and improved pancreatic β-cell morphology, particularly at 200 mg/kg BW. These findings suggest that EMA has potential as a therapeutic candidate for T2DM by improving glycemic control and preserving pancreatic β-cell integrity.

Abstract

Legundi (Vitex trifolia) has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity; however, the specific bioactive compounds responsible for this effect remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory potential of bioactive compounds from V. trifolia against cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2; PDB ID: 5KIR) using an in silico molecular docking approach, along with the analysis of their pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles. The results showed that persicogenin exhibited the lowest binding affinity of −9.2 kcal/mol and formed hydrogen bonds with key amino acid residues, namely THR 212, HIS 207, and TYR 385. ADMET prediction results indicated that persicogenin met the drug-likeness criteria for an oral drug candidate, demonstrated good intestinal absorption (HIA: 92.29%), high membrane permeability (Caco-2 permeability > 0.9), low volume of distribution (VDss < 0.45), inhibitory activity against CYP2C19 and CYP3A4, and no hepatotoxic potential. These findings suggest that persicogenin may serve as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Abstract

The present study aimed to develop and evaluate a topical gel containing ethanolic red rose flower extract as a potential natural anti-acne and anti-aging preparation. The extract was screened for phytochemicals, and the gel was formulated with varying concentrations of Carbopol 940 (0.25-1.25%). The gels were characterized for their organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and in vitro antibacterial activity against Cutibacterium acnes. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, quinones, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids, and anthocyanins in the extract. Organoleptic evaluation showed that Formulas 2 (0.5% Carbopol) and 3 (0.75% Carbopol) had the most suitable characteristics for a cosmetic gel, with moderate viscosity, non-greasiness, rapid absorption, and user comfort. Viscosity testing confirmed pseudoplastic flow behavior, with Formulas 2 and 3 exhibiting an optimal balance between physical stability and ease of application. Spreadability and adhesiveness tests further supported the suitability of these formulas. The pH of all formulas ranged from 7.02 to 7.08, requiring further optimization to match the skin's physiological pH. Antibacterial testing revealed that all gel formulas containing 1% extract showed strong inhibition against C. acnes (inhibition zones of 15.0 ± 1.2–1.3 mm), attributed to the presence of flavonoids, tannins, and other bioactive compounds. The results suggest that the red rose flower extract gel, particularly Formulas 2 and 3, has promising potential as a natural anti-acne and anti-aging preparation, offering a balance of physical stability, user comfort, and antibacterial activity.

Abstract

Lampung Province is one of Indonesia’s major robusta coffee–producing regions, and green coffee beans contain bioactive compounds with potential biological benefits. This study analyzed the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract of Lampung green robusta coffee beans and evaluated its effects on hematological parameters and liver–kidney serum markers in lead acetate–induced mice. Phytochemical screening revealed alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids. Quantitative analysis showed total phenolics of 122.76 mg GAE/g extract, flavonoids of 12.23 mg QE/g extract, tannins of 208.86 mg TAE/g extract, and saponins of 1.32%. The extract exhibited very strong antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ = 21.99 ppm). Lead acetate exposure (20 mg/kg BW for 14 days) decreased erythrocyte counts and increased leukocyte and urea levels. Administration of the extract (400 mg/kg BW) improved erythrocyte counts, modulated leukocyte levels, and reduced urea concentrations.

Abstract

Indonesia is rich in mangrove species, including Avicennia marina (brayo) and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (lindur), whose fruits contain bioactive metabolites with potential anti-obesity activity. This study evaluated pancreatic lipase inhibition by brayo and lindur fruit flour extracts (raw and boiled) using in vitro and in silico approaches. Extracts were prepared by remaceration with 70% ethanol. Lipase inhibition was measured using a multimode microplate reader, while metabolites were identified by LC-HRMS and evaluated by molecular docking. Raw brayo showed the highest inhibition (84.29 ± 4.24%), followed by boiled brayo (83.01 ± 4.59%), raw lindur (75.24 ± 3.02%), and boiled lindur (73.88 ± 4.00%). Docking indicated strong binding of luteolin (−8.23 kcal/mol), 9-oxo-10(E),12(E)-octadecadienoic acid (−6.75 kcal/mol), and methyl eleostearate (−6.59 kcal/mol) to pancreatic lipase. These findings support mangrove fruit flour as a natural source of lipase inhibitors for obesity management.
