Abstract

Non-adherence is still a major issue in the management of diabetes in Indonesia which leads to complication problems. Medication adherence in diabetes mellitus is related to better glycemic control, better control of risk factors, lower risk of hospitalization, lower health care cost, and lower risk of mortality. Many educational models are applied to achieve the patient's glycemic control. There were two research purposes in this study. The first one was to determine the booklet handout's effectiveness in improving glycemic control in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients in Malaka Jaya Primary Healthcare Centre, Jakarta. The second aim was to compare two different educational models, which were done simultaneously at Pondok Kelapa Primary Healthcare Centre and Duren Sawit Primary Healthcare Centre. A quasi-experimental study design was applied in these prospective studies. A total of 30 patients met the inclusion criteria. The intervention was a booklet handout that was given and presented to the respondent once every month for three months. The parameter used was the A1C (glycated hemoglobin). For patients exposed to booklet handout, 20.0% of them had the A1C level <6.5% initially, then the A1C level <6.5% significantly increased to 73.34% (p=0.005). For patients who were given public counseling, the number of respondents who had the A1C level <6.5% was 16.7%, then the A1C percentage rose to 76.7% (p=0.005). Meanwhile, for patients who were educated with video, the A1C level <6.5% was 6.67% initially, then the A1C level <6.5% increased significantly to 90.0% (p=0.005) in 12 weeks after the intervention. Either booklet handout, public counseling, or video are effective to improve glycemic control in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Abstract

Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used for arthritis, gout, and other musculoskeletal disorders. Piroxicam is poorly soluble in water and according to the biopharmaceutical drug classification system (BCS) is classified as a Class II drug with good permeability but poor dissolution. The self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) has been extensively employed to improve the dissolution and absorption of water-insoluble drugs within the gastrointestinal tract, leading to enhanced oral bioavailability and increased therapeutic effect of the loaded drugs. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of piroxicam-loaded SNEDDS as compared to conventional piroxicam suspension that was observed in male Wistar strain rats. The SNEDDS was tailored from a mixture of oleic acid, tween 80, and propylene glycol. Twenty male Wistar strain rats (aged 2-3 months, weighed 150-250g) were selected and were divided equally into 4 different groups receiving 1% PVP, SNEDDS carrier, piroxicam suspension (1.8 mg/Kg BW), and SNEDDS piroxicam (1.8 mg/Kg BW). Acute inflammation was induced by a carrageenan-induced paw edema model where the carrageenan was injected sub plantar in the hind paw of the rats to induce edema. Several parameters including paw edema volume, AUC0-6, and percent anti-inflammatory effect, were measured to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity experienced in each group. At the end of this study, the piroxicam SNEDDS group significantly demonstrated better protection from paw edema compared to the piroxicam suspension group (ρ<0.05), suggesting that SNEDDS may enhance the anti-inflammatory activity of piroxicam.

Abstract

Kencur (Kempferia galanga, L) is one of the rhizomes that is often used as a constituent component in traditional medicinal formulas. One of the kencur's pharmacological activities is anti-inflammatory. The active compound as an anti-inflammatory is ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (EPMC). This study aims to determine the content and ascertainment of EPMC compounds and the anti-inflammatory activity of kencur rhizome extract. Kencur extract can be obtained by the maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. The EPMC content determination was held using the TLC-densitometry method, while the EPMC compounds were confirmed using the GC MS method. The anti-inflammatory activity test was done using inhibiting protein denaturation methods. The extract results obtained 12.67% yield. The result of EPMC content in kencur extract was 10.05 ± 4.57. The GCMS kencur extract results showed an abundance of EPMC compounds at a retention time of 7.088 with a peak area of 72290779. The results of IC50 anti-inflammatory for the standard substance (EPMC) were 5.306 ± 5.028. The results of IC50 anti-inflammatory the sample (kencur extract) was 303.487 ± 1.201. Ethanol extract of kencur contains ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (EPMC) and has anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting protein denaturation.

Abstract

Black cumin seed oil (MBJH) (Nigella sativa L.) is a well-known herb with pharmacology activities such as anticancer and anti-thrombocytopenia. The limitation of MBJH has poor absorption when using oral dosage form. The liquid SNEDDS (Self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system) of MBJH as an alternative formulation. However, the disadvantage of liquid-SNEDDS of MJBH was the interaction between the active ingredients with soft gelatin capsules. Hence, this study proposed to develop solid-SNEDDS as a new formulation of MBJH. Solid-SNEDDS of MBJH was prepared from liquid-SEDDS of MBJH by adsorption to solid carrier method, consisting of aerosil and crospovidone as the adsorbent. The characterization of S-SNEDDS was determined by emulsification time and percent transmittance. Micromeritics properties of S-SNEDDS such as the angle of repose, bulk and tap density parameter, compressibility index, and Hausner ratio were measured  before and after stored in stress condition (40 ̊ C ± 2 ̊ C and relative humidity of 75% ± 5% for 14 days). The result showed S-SNEDDS of MBJH with aerosil absorbent had better S-SNEDDS performance in both characteristics and micromeritics properties under stress conditions than crospovidone absorbent. In conclusion, the s-SNEDDS of black cumin oil by solid aerosil carrier method is promising for future research development of S-SNEDDS dosage form.

Abstract

Medications derived from plants and pure natural ingredients have far lower side effects and risks than synthetic drugs. One side effect of piroxicam is irritation of the digestive tract. One of the therapeutic preventions to minimize peptic ulcers was utilizing Canna edulis Ker. This study aims to prove that ethanolic extract of Canna edulis Ker. can be used as an alternative to prevent piroxicam-induced peptic ulcers based on ulcer index parameters and the protection ratio. The rats were divided randomly into 6 groups consisting of 5 rats. The normal group was given food and water. The negative control group was given 0.5% CMC-Na. The extract groups were given various doses of ethanolic extract of Canna edulis Ker. (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg BW). The positive control was given sucralfate at 360 mg/kg BW dose. Rats were treated orally for 14 days. One hour after the treatment on the 14th day, all groups except group I were orally administered with piroxicam dissolved in 0.5% CMC-Na at 1.8 mg/kg BW dose. Twenty-four hours later, animals were sacrificed, dissected, and their stomach organs were removed to analyze its number of ulcers. Ulcer observation was formed by giving a score and protection ratio. The mean ulcer index value was 0.33±0.58 for 50 mg/kg BW and 100 mg/kg BW ethanol extract treatment groups, while the 200 mg/kg BW group showed 0.67±0.58. The protection ratio was 83.33±28.87 in 50 mg/kg BW and 100 mg/kg BW treatment groups, while  66.67±28.87 was shown in the 200mg/kg BW group. Canna edulis Ker. ethanolic extract has the gastroprotective ability by decreasing the index of gastric ulcers and increasing the protection ratio to the stomach of piroxicam-induced rats.

Abstract

Arabian bidara leaves (Ziziphus spina-christi, L.) are known to have strong antimicrobial activity against microorganisms that cause infection in the female genital area, namely Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Candida albicans fungi. They contain main secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins. Christinin is a saponin glycoside derivative compound which consists of four types, namely christinin-A, B, C, and D. The role of computational studies in the discovery of new drugs is crucial and interesting nowadays because it is relatively cheap, effective, fast, and precise with a reliable level of accuracy. This computational study result will later be used to confirm in vitro test results which are carried out using experimental microbiological testing methods in the laboratory. This study identified, evaluated, and explored the interactions between christinin-A, B, C, and D compounds with Penicillin Binding Protein (PBP) from Staphylococcus aureus and Dihydrofolate Reductase from the fungus Candida albicans using computational study were carried out using the molecular docking. The christinin-A, B, C, and D compounds were modeled into 3D conformation using GaussView 5.0.8 and Gaussian09 software. The best conformation was selected for molecular interaction studies on Penicillin Binding Protein (PBP) from Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Dihydrofolate Reductase from Candida albicans using MGLTools 1.5.6 software with AutoDock 4.2. The molecular interactions that occurred were further observed using the BIOVIA Discovery Studio 2020 software. Based on the molecular docking results, the christinin-B compound had the highest affinity for Penicillin Binding Protein (PBP) from Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, with a binding-free energy value of −7.67 kcal/mol. Meanwhile, the christinin-A compound has the highest affinity for Dihydrofolate Reductase from the fungus Candida albicans, with a binding-free energy value of −8.38 kcal/mol. Thus, it is predicted that christinin compounds can be chosen as the main component in feminine hygiene preparations to maintain the female genital area's health.

Abstract

In a pathological condition such as diabetes, the increase of oxidative stress may decrease endogenous antioxidant activities, so the body cannot detoxify free radicals and prevent cell damage. The yellow velvet leaf is one of the natural antioxidant sources. This research investigates anti-hyperglycemic activities of ethanol extracts from yellow velvet leaves and SOD and GPx activities, the antioxidant enzymes. This experimental laboratory research used a posttest only group design. This research subjects were 25 alloxan-induced white male rats of Wistar strains conditioned as the type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The rats were clustered into five groups: the group I was the no-treatment control group, the group II was the positive control group given glibenclamide 0.45 mg/kg BW(rat's body weight) as the treatment, and group III, IV, and V were the experimental groups treated with yellow velvet leaf ethanol extracts with the doses of 32.5 mg/kg BW, 65 mg/kg BW and 130 mg/kg BW respectively. The activity tests of SOD and GPx, furthermore, were conducted. The results revealed that the dose of 130 mg was the most effective in increasing SOD and GPx activities. The increase of SOD and GPx levels also influenced the blood glucose level, which decreased significantly on 130mg. When the blood sugar level decreases, the stress oxidative itself can be reduced, increasing the endogenous antioxidant activities. It was concluded that the ethanol extract of yellow velvet leaf (Limnocharis flava) on the dose of 130mg/kg BW has a significant influence on SOD and GPx activities in alloxan-induced diabetic RA, and not significantly different from glibenclamide

Abstract

In Indonesia, determination of glycemic index (GI) was performed according to approved protocols prescribed by FAO (1998) and BPOM (2011); but, remarkable differences among these methods exist, primarily regarding the points of recommendation. This present work aimed to evaluate the technical steps of the protocol for determining GI between two protocols recommended by BPOM (2011) and FAO (1998). Ten healthy subjects (age 21-36 years old and body mass index (BMI) 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) were recruited for the study. The blood glucose was measured with repeated glucose trials, while the number of sampling points for the blood glucose test was also investigated. The range of GI for rice, wheat cookies, NS-cookies, HMT-cookies were 68 – 77; 55 – 60; 35 – 43; 35 – 41, respectively, using the combination of three different aspects between FAO and BPOM protocol. Noticeably, the difference in glucose trials did not cause significant variations to GI (n=10, p>0.05). Regarding statistical performance between methods, the Coefficient of Variance (CV) resulted from BPOM protocol (10 subjects, 5 sampling points) ranged 37 to 49%, being slightly higher compared to CV obtained from FAO protocol (7 subjects with triplicate glucose trials, 7 sampling points), i.e., 33% and 35%. The conclusive remark was noticed, that the most satisfying protocol for determination of GI was achieved using no less than two reference food trials, seven subjects, and seven blood sampling points.

Abstract

Recently many researches have been carried out on Malacca fruit extract and its potential protective effect on in vivo organ toxicity. However, there is still no research on the protective effect of Malacca (Phyllanthus emblica L.) fruit extract on induced hepatotoxicity of anticancer drugs, especially doxorubicin in rats. The objective of this study is to determine the potential protective effect of ethanol extract of Malacca fruit (P. emblica L.) against doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. A preliminary phytochemical test was done followed by administration extract into doxorubicin-induced rats. Histological studies were carried out to observe the effect of the extract on liver tissue. Phytochemical test results show that the ethanol extract of Malacca fruit contains flavonoids, phenols, tannins, triterpenoids, terpenoids, and alkaloids. The increasing value of ALT and ALP of doxorubicin-induced liver tissue proved the toxicity in liver tissue caused by doxorubicin. The ethanol extract of P. emblica L. at dosage 200 mg/kg BW and dosage 400 mg/kg BW on doxorubicin-induced rats were successfully played as an antioxidant to decrease the ALT and ALPvalues and improve liver tissue doxorubicin-induced by normal hepatocytes more dominant than lysis and less mark of bleeding and congestion of blood vessels.
