Abstract

ABSTRAK Penelitian terkait efektivitas klozapin pada populasi Asia, baik sebagai monoterapi atau kombinasi, masih sangat terbatas. Selain itu, potensi interaksi antar-obat sering dijumpai pada pasien skizofrenia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis respon terapeutik klozapin dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya, serta interaksi obat-obat yang bersifat potensial. Penelitian cross-sectional retrospektif ini menggunakan data sekunder dari rekam medik pasien di rumah sakit jiwa rujukan di Jawa Tengah, Indonesia. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-square atau Fisher’s exact dengan SPSS versi 23. Studi melibatkan 149 pasien skizofrenia dengan mayoritas laki-laki dan terdiagnosis undifferentiated schizophrenia. Sebanyak 89,93% pasien mengalami perbaikan gejala klinis, sesuai yang dinyatakan dokter pada rekam medik, baik pada penggunaan klozapin tunggal maupun kombinasi terutama dengan risperidon. Respon terapeutik klozapin dipengaruhi secara signifikan hanya oleh usia (p<0,05). Sementara itu, interaksi obat potensial dengan klozapin berkategori mayor ditemukan pada 8,1% pasien. Penggunaan bersama risperidon diidentifikasi sebagai interaksi obat mayor terbanyak (79,25%) yang berisiko menimbulkan permasalahan kardiovaskular atau pernapasan. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan studi prospektif dengan penilaian efektivitas klozapin menggunakan PANSS-ES maupun dampak klinis interaksi obatnya. Kata Kunci: Klozapin, Skzofrenia, Efektivitas, Faktor Yang Memengaruhi, Interaksi Obat-Obat  Studies on clozapine effectiveness among Asian populations, either as monotherapy or in combination, are quite limited. In addition, potential drug-drug interactions (DDI) are common in schizophrenic patients. This study aimed to analyze the therapeutic response to clozapine, its influencing factors, and the potential DDI.  A cross-sectional study design retrospectively collected secondary data from medication records at the referral psychiatric hospitals in Central Java, Indonesia. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test in SPSS version 23.   This study included 149 patients, predominantly male, who were diagnosed with undifferentiated schizophrenia. As many as 89.93% of patients experienced symptom improvement, as stated by the physician in the medical record, either as monotherapy or in combination, especially with risperidone. The therapeutic response to clozapine was significantly influenced only by age (p<0.05). Meanwhile, potential major drug interactions were found in 8.1% of patients. The combined use of clozapine with risperidone has been identified as having the most significant risk for drug interactions (79.25%), which can lead to cardiovascular or respiratory problems. This study recommends conducting prospective studies on the effectiveness of clozapine using the PANSS-ES scale and examine the clinical impact of the drug interactions.

Abstract

Cat's whiskers (Orthosiphon stamineus Benth.) is an herbal plant known for its significant antioxidant activity, making it a valuable resource in traditional medicine. This study aims to investigate the effects of different drying temperatures and durations on the antioxidant activity of cat's whiskers using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) reagent. The research was conducted through a systematic analysis of drying temperatures of 40, 50, and 60°C over 1, 2, and 3 days, to establish a correlation between drying parameters and antioxidant activity. Statistical analysis using two-way ANOVA revealed that drying conditions significantly influenced antioxidant activity, whereas water content remained stable across all treatments. Based on the results, the optimal drying condition is 60°C for 1 day, which exhibited the highest antioxidant activity, with an IC50 of 13.62 μg/mL and a water content of 3.69%. This study advances scientific knowledge, particularly regarding the most effective drying methods for cat's whiskers to preserve the stability of the plant's bioactive compounds. Ultimately, these findings provide a scientific basis for developing standardized drying protocols to maximize the therapeutic benefits of cat's whiskers in health applications.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus Tipe 2 (DMT2), ditandai dengan resistensi insulin dan hiperglikemia. Penelitian ini mengevaluasi potensi 30 senyawa golongan fenolik dan flavonoid dari Eichhornia crassipes sebagai agen antidiabetes melalui studi in silico, meliputi uji toksisitas (ToxTree 3.1.0, ProTox 3), analisis ADME (SwissADME), dan molecular docking (AutoDock 4.2.6). Struktur ligan uji diperoleh dari PubChem, sedangkan reseptor PPAR-γ (PDB ID: 5Y2O) dan α-Glukosidase (PDB ID: 3TOP) diunduh dari RCSB Protein Data Bank. Sebelum docking, analisis toksisitas dan ADME dilakukan. Hasil docking menunjukkan Tricin (flavonoid) berinteraksi baik dengan kedua reseptor dan memiliki nilai energi Gibbs -7.53 kcal/mol untuk PPAR-γ dan -5.19 kcal/mol untuk α-Glukosidase, mendekati ligan asli Pioglitazone (-10.03 kcal/mol) dan Acarbose (-6.86 kcal/mol). Interaksi ligan-reseptor Tricin melibatkan ikatan hidrogen dan kontak hidrofobik dengan residu kunci (misalnya, ARG288 dan TYR pada PPAR- γ, residu GLN1561 dan GLN1372 pada α-Glukosidase), mencerminkan interaksi ligan asli. Prediksi toksisitas mengklasifikasikan Tricin sebagai senyawa dengan risiko toksisitas rendah (Cramer Rules Kelas I, Kroes TTC). Selanjutnya, evaluasi ADME menunjukkan bahwa Tricin memenuhi Lipinski's Rule of Five, yang mengindikasikan penyerapan dan bioavailabilitas oral yang baik. Secara keseluruhan, senyawa Tricin dari E. crassipes menunjukkan potensi signifikan sebagai kandidat agen antidiabetes melalui penghambatan PPAR-γ dan α-Glukosidase yang selanjutnya memerlukan validasi dnegan pengujian in vitro dan in vivo. Kata Kunci: Eichhornia crassipes, Molecular Docking, Antidiabetic, PPAR-γ, α-Glucosidase Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), is characterized by insulin resistance and persistent hyperglycemia. This study investigated the antidiabetic potential of 30 phenolic and flavonoid compounds derived from Eichhornia crassipes using in silico approaches, including toxicity assessments (ToxTree 3.1.0, ProTox 3), ADME analysis (SwissADME), and molecular docking (AutoDock 4.2.6). Ligand structures were retrieved from PubChem, while PPAR-γ (5Y2O) and α-Glucosidase (3TOP) receptors were obtained from the RCSB Protein Data Bank. Toxicity and ADME analyses were conducted prior to molecular docking, which employed the Genetic Algorithm with 50 conformations. Docking results revealed that Tricin (a flavonoid) exhibited strong interactions with both receptors, with Gibbs free energy values of -7.53 kcal/mol for PPAR-γ and -5.19 kcal/mol for α-Glucosidase. These values are comparable to those of the native ligands Pioglitazone (-10.03 kcal/mol) and Acarbose (-6.86 kcal/mol). Tricin formed hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts with key active site residues including, ARG288 and TYR327 in PPAR-γ, GLN1561 and GLN1372 in α-Glucosidase), mirroring the interactions of the native ligands. Toxicity predictions classified Tricin as low risk (Class I Cramer Rules, Kroes TTC). Furthermore, ADME evaluation showed that Tricin (aglycone) is fully compliant with Lipinski's Rule of Five, suggesting favorable properties for oral absorption and bioavailability. In conclusion, Tricin from E. crassipes demonstrates significant potential as an antidiabetic candidate and warrants further in vitro and in vivo validation.

Abstract

Manis Rejo (Vaccinium variangiaefolium (Bl.) Miq.) is a plant that dominates at the Tangkuban Parahu area and grows in mountainous regions. Its leaves contain flavonoids with various benefits. The ethyl acetate extract of these leaves has demonstrated cytotoxic activity, making it a potential active compound in nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of variations in the glutaraldehyde concentration on the characteristics of the gelatination nanoparticles encapsulating the Manis Rejo leaf extract. The organoleptic properties, moisture content, and solubility of the extract were evaluated and then developed into nanoparticles (NPs) using the desolvation method with glutaraldehyde concentrations of 100 µl, 200 µl, and 300 µl. The characterization included the nanoparticle stability, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, and morphology. The results showed that the extract was green, had a distinctive odor, a dry texture, a moisture content of 4.31%, and was soluble in ethyl acetate (1:10). The nanoparticles remained physically stable for 20 days at room temperature (25 oC), with particle sizes of 343.4±4.4 nm, 226.3±23.1 nm, and 199.7±1.6 nm, and PDIs of 0.381±0.0234, 0.446±0.0895, and 0.177±0.0195, respectively. The zeta potential values ranged from 15.8±1.1 to 17.8±1.1 mV. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis of formula III revealed a spherical morphology supporting the nanoparticle stability. Glutaraldehyde variation significantly influenced the particle size and PDI.

Abstract

Captopril, an ACE inhibitor, is commonly prescribed as first-line therapy for hypertension. In practice, patients often combine synthetic drugs with herbal remedies such as bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum), raising concerns about potential interactions. This study investigated the effect of bay leaf infusion on the pharmacokinetic profile of Captopril in white rats (Rattus norvegicus). Ten rats were divided into two groups: group 1 received 25 mg of Captopril, while group 2 received the same dose in combination with bay leaf infusion. Blood samples were collected via the tail vein at 0; 0.5; 1; 2; 4; 6; 12 and 24 hours, and analyzed using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer (205 nm). Pharmacokinetic parameters assessed included absorption rate constant (ka), elimination rate constant (ke), half-life (t½), peak time (tmax), maximum concentration (Cpmax), and area under the curve (AUC). Results showed that bay leaf infusion increased Cpmax (2.646 → 3.105 µg/ml), prolonged t½ (3.347 → 16.116 h), and elevated AUC (23.382 → 56.479 µg·h/ml). These findings indicate that bay leaf infusion significantly alters the pharmacokinetic profile of Captopril.

Abstract

Obesitas adalah kondisi patologis akibat akumulasi lemak berlebih yang meningkatkan risiko gangguan metabolik, termasuk disfungsi endotel yang ditandai oleh penurunan produksi Nitric Oxide (NO) sintesis oleh enzim Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi efek kombinasi ekstrak etanol rimpang kunyit (Curcuma longa L.) dan daun pegagan (Centella asiatica (L.) Urb) terhadap kadar NO serum dan ekspresi gen eNOS pada jaringan hati tikus obesitas. Penelitian eksperimental ini menggunakan tikus jantan yang diinduksi obesitas dengan pakan tinggi lemak dan karbohidrat selama 60 hari. Tikus dibagi enam kelompok: normal (kontrol negative), obesitas (kontrol positif), pembanding orlistat 10,8 mg/kgBB, ekstrak kunyit 200 mg/kgBB, ekstrak pegagan 20 mg/kgBB, dan kombinasi kunyit-pegagan 200:100 mg/kgBB. Parameter yang diukur meliputi berat badan, kadar NO serum (metode Griess), ekspresi gen eNOS (qPCR), kadar SGOT dan  SGPT. Hasil menunjukkan kombinasi ekstrak secara signifikan menurunkan berat badan dan meningkatkan kadar NO dibandingkan kelompok obesitas (p < 0,05), meningkatkan ekspresi gen eNOS serta secara (p< 0,05) signifikan menurunkan kadar SGOT dan SGPT . Penelitian ini mengindikasikan potensi kombinasi ekstrak kunyit dan pegagan sebagai agen preventif disfungsi endotel pada obesitas melalui peningkatan produksi NO dan regulasi ekspresi gen eNOS serta berperan sebagai hepatoprotektor. Kata Kunci: Ekstrak Kunyit, Ekstrak Pegagan, Ekspresi Gen eNOS, Jaringan Hati, Obesitas  Obesity is a pathological condition caused by excessive fat accumulation that increases the risk of metabolic disorders, including endothelial dysfunction characterized by decreased Nitric Oxide (NO) synthesis by the enzyme Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS). This study aims to evaluate the effects of a combination of ethanol extracts of turmeric rhizome (Curcuma longa L.) and gotu kola leaves (Centella asiatica (L.) Urb) on serum NO levels and eNOS gene expression in the liver tissue of obese rats. This experimental study used male rats induced to become obese with a high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet for 60 days. The rats were divided into six groups: normal (negative control), obese (positive control), orlistat 10.8 mg/kgBW, turmeric extract 200 mg/kgBW, gotu kola extract 20 mg/kgBW, and turmeric-gotu kola combination 200:100 mg/kgBW. The measured parameters included body weight, serum NO levels (Griess method), eNOS gene expression (qPCR), SGOT and SGPT levels. The results showed that the combination of extracts significantly reduced body weight and increased NO levels compared to the obesity group (p < 0.05), increased eNOS gene expression, and significantly (p < 0.05) decreased SGOT and SGPT levels. This study indicates the potential of the combination of turmeric and pegagan extracts as a preventive agent for endothelial dysfunction in obesity through the enhancement of NO production and regulation of eNOS gene expression as well as acting as a hepatoprotector.
