Abstract

Antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic have a very close relationship for Mellitus Diabetics. In previous research, Ekor Naga leaves (Rhaphidophora pinnata (L.f) Schott) had an antihyperglycemic effect. The effect was obtained from the presence of secondary metabolites, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. This research is expected to be a further test of the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic effects of alloxan-induced male white rats. This research used an experimental method. The treatment group was divided into four groups, namely negative control (Na CMC 0,5%), positive control (10 mg/kg BW of glibenclamide), group one (250 mg/kg BW of Ekor Naga leaves extract), and group two (500 mg/kg BW of Ekor Naga leaves extract). Data were taken from blood sugar levels on the days 0th, 7th, 10th, and 14th. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, and HDL levels were observed on the 14th day. Results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA test. The followed by Duncan’s test. The result of ethanol extract from Ekor Naga leaves showed antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activity in alloxan-induced rats, which had a statistically significant difference relative the negative control (p<0,05) decreased the levels of blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides. Where the best group is two (500 mg/kg BW of Extract) and followed by group one (250 mg/kg BW of Extract). We concluded that Ekor Naga leaves extract provides activity in the treatment option for patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia.

Abstract

Mangrove fruits have a variety of bioactive metabolites that may control microbial growth. The present study was conducted to formulate and evaluate the antibacterial activities of Rhizophora stylosa fruit extract. The antibacterial activity of R. stylosa crude extract was investigated against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Propionibacterium acnes by disc diffusion method. The herbal gel formulations were developed using different concentrations of kappa carrageenan and Carbomer 940 as the gelling agent. The physicochemical characteristics and in vitro antibacterial activity of the gel were evaluated. The results revealed that the extract had a minimum inhibitory concentration value of 0.05 mg/ml against S. aureus and P. acne, and 0.1 mg/mL against S. epidermidis. All herbal gel formulations with 0.5% w/w of the extract showed a strong inhibitory activity against P. acnes. The herbal gel showed a good homogeneity, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and physical stability in an accelerated condition. Among all formulation studied, F1 was considered as the optimized formulation which contains 0.5% of the R. stylosa fruit extract with 0.25% kappa carrageenan and 0.5% Carbomer 940. It can be concluded that the developed gel formulation has potential against Acne vulgaris. Further research is needed to determine the safety and efficacy so R. stylosa can be developed as an alternative natural anti-acne agent.

Abstract

Indonesian people risk-averse effects of Ultraviolet (UV) exposure, so they need skin protection agents. Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is an effective UV reflection, but at a concentration of more than 10%, it can cause skin irritation. Combining ZnO with other UV protective agents is necessary, so its concentration can be reduced but still effective. The flavonoid in C. heyneana has potential as a sunscreen because chromophore groups can absorb UV B and UV A light. This study aims to examine the effect of the combination of ZnO and C. heyneana on the stability and SPF value of lotion. The lotion is made in five variations of the composition of ZnO and C. heyneana, F1 of 100: 0%; F2 of 0:100%; F3 of 50:50%; F4 of 25:75%; and F5 of 75:25% respectively. Test parameters include organoleptic, pH, spreadability, viscosity, and SPF. The test is recorded before and after the cycling test. Statistical analysis using Paired Sample T-Test. The combination of ZnO and C. heyneana affected organoleptic, viscosity, spreadability, and SPF value but did not affect pH. The higher concentration of ZnO will increase the viscosity, pH, and SPF but decrease the spreadability. The formula with a combination of ZnO and C. heyneana of 50%:50% is selected because it has an SPF value of 13.24 and; a viscosity of 48.67 d.Pas; pH of 7.1; and spreadability of 3.81 cm.

Abstract

Decreased blood supply, high blood sugar level, and a possibility of bacterial infection in diabetic wounds pose risk for limb loss and mortality. Therefore, proper wound care is needed to improve the quality of life of diabetic patients. Vitex trifolia L (Legundi) extract is reported to have antibacterial and antioxidant activity that enhances cell proliferation and migration. The antimicrobial and hemostatic properties of chitosan film are viewed as an ideal material for enhancing wound healing. The film should retain its integrity and flexibility while used on the skin, therefore chitosan was combined with PVA and PVP K30 to improve its quality. The objectives of this study were to optimize the concentration of chitosan, PVP K30, and PVA towards the Legundi extract film properties, and to evaluate its wound healing activity on hyperglycemic mice using an incision wound model. In this study, the film’s compositions were optimized using a simplex lattice design, and the effects of its components on their characteristics, such as thickness, weight, folding endurance, swelling rate, and swelling index, were evaluated. BALB/c Mice were divided into three groups (Group I, Group II, Group III) which were treated with normal saline, placebo film, and Legundi film respectively once daily for 8 days. The result suggested that chitosan and PVA were responsible for affecting the film’s thickness, weight, and folding endurance, whilst PVP K30 was the dominant factor in increasing the swelling index and rate of the film. The optimum formula of Legundi extract films consists of 1.15 %(b/v) chitosan, 1.25 %(b/v) PVP K30, and 1.6 %(b/v) PVA. The animal treated with Legundi extract film have higher wound closure compared to the control and placebo group four days after wound incision (p<0.05). Thus, Legundi extract film was a potential dressing to treat a diabetic wound.

Abstract

Ketapang is widely used in traditional medicine. Parts of ketapang plant, such as roots, leaves, and bark, are known to have biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer. However, no biological activity has been reported on the flesh of the ketapang fruit. This research was conducted to obtain phytochemicals and toxicity information of ketapang fruit flesh as an anticancer medicine. Toxicity indicates the potential for a chemical compound to cause damage to living organisms, while phytochemicals indicate a group of compounds that have biological activity. Extraction of ketapang fruit flesh was carried out using various solvents, both polar and non-polar solvents, methanol, n-hexane, and ethyl acetate. The toxicity test used the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method, while phytochemicals tests used the thin layer chromatography (TLC), in which identification of bioactive compounds of ketapang pulp extract used UV-Visible and FTIR spectroscopy. The results showed that the ketapang fruit flesh extract was toxic to Artemia salina Leach shrimp larvae. The most toxic was ethyl acetate extract, with an LC50 value was 17,171 ppm. The phytochemicals screening showed that ethyl acetate extract of the ketapang fruit flesh contained flavonoid, alkaloid, phenolic, terpenoid, and saponin compounds. Tracing using UV-Vis shows the presence of conjugated double bonds which refer to flavonoid compounds, as well as the IR spectrum which indicates the presence of a typical functional group of flavonoid compounds.

Abstract

The community has utilized Mangrove extensively, particularly as a component of traditional medicine. Rhizophora mucronata is one species that possess antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and insecticidal properties. According to reports, R. mucronata has antibacterial properties against the Salmonella typhi bacteria that cause typhoid fever. This research aims to obtain a methanol extract of R. mucronata leaves and assess its antibacterial potential as natural new medicine, particularly for treating typhoid fever. The extraction method is maceration with a 70 percent methanol solvent. Well, diffusion is utilized to determine antibacterial activity. Alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, steroid, tannin, and triterpenoid are the chemical compounds identified in the methanol extract of R. mucronata leaves (MERmL). Ten percent concentration of MERmL exhibited moderate antibacterial activity (7.970.25 mm), whereas 30 percent concentration (11.380.29 mm) and 50 percent concentration (16.070.40 mm) exhibited intense antibacterial activity. Based on these findings, R. mucronata leaf methanol extracts with higher concentrations have more potent antibacterial activity against S. typhi in typhoid fever treatments.

Abstract

Kalimantan is an island with an abundance of kayu Kuning (yellow-fruited moonseed). Kayu kuning is used for three different plant species, namely Arcangelisia flava (L.) Merr., Fibraurea tinctoria Lour., and Coscinium fenestratum (Gaertn.) Colebr. Therefore, it creates confusion and may cause improper use. It has properties such as anti-diabetic, antiplasmodial, antidiarrheal, hepatitis, and antidote. The study uses the DNA barcode technique to identify kayu kuning (yellow-fruited moonseed) from East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The genomic DNA of kayu kuning (yellow-fruited moonseed) was extracted, and ITS primers were used for identification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It was compared with Arcangelisia flava, Fibraurea tinctoria, and Coscinium fenestratum as a phylogenetic tree. DNA sequence alignment of ITS and phylogenetic reconstruction revealed that kayu kuning (yellow-fruited moonseed) from East Kalimantan was closely related to A. flava. The kayu kuning (yellow-fruited moonseed) had 94.16% of sequence similarity with A. flava according to the ITS1 barcode.

Abstract

Kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.) rhizome ethanol extract contains a lipophilic compound of ethyl p-methoxycinnamate. Self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) formulation can increase the solubility of the extract in water. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of surfactant combination on the kencur rhizome extract in the SNEDDS system. The SNEDDS formulations were carried out by selecting the surfactant ratio of Tween 80:Span 80 and Tween 80:Chremophor RH 40, followed by selecting the ratio of surfactant mixtures to polyethylene glycol 400 as co-surfactant, and to virgin coconut oil as the oil phase. The clarity, transmittance, emulsification time, particle size, and polydispersity index were evaluated. The stability test was carried out in aquadest, artificial gastric fluid, and artificial intestinal fluid for 4 hours at 37°C. The results showed that the combination of Tween 80: Chremophor RH 40 produced better SNEDDS than Tween 80:Span 80. The combination of surfactant-cosurfactant of Tween 80:Chremophor RH 40:PEG 400 at ratio 3:1 and 1:1 could produce homogenous dispersed SNEDDS showing droplet size of 23,0 and 21,8 nm; transmittance of 95.63% and 93.83%, and SNEDDS preconcentrate emulsified less than 35 seconds. The single surfactant Tween 80:PEG 400 at the ratio 3:1 produce better dispersed SNEDDS than the combined surfactant with droplet size 16.3 nm, transmittance 97.85%, and SNEDDS preconcentrate emulsified less than 45 seconds. The SNEDDS system could produce a smaller droplet size than the extract in aquadest.

Abstract

Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) is still a global health issue to date, SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that is responsible for this sickness. The receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus associates with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) and allows the virus to enter human cells. Natural peptides such alpha-defensin are thought to attach to the SARS-CoV-2 RBD and prohibit it from engaging with ACE-2. Molecular dynamics simulations using a computational approach are utilized to understand the stability of six alpha-defensin macromolecules using the Gromacs 2016 software. The trajectories formed are then analyzed using VMD 1.9.4 and BIOVIA Discovery Studio 2020 software. Finally, the free energy is estimated using the MM/PBSA method. The alpha-defensins 2 macromolecules were found to have the best stability based on numerous study results (trajectory visualization, RMSD, RMSF, and free energy calculations). As a result, these macromolecules could be used to build new antiviral treatments for COVID-19 infectious disease candidates.
