Abstract

Soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.) chloroform extract has an anticancer agent that can be developed for traditional medicine preparation, even though the extract's solubility is low in the water. This study aims to generate new soursop leaves chloroform extract in the Self-Nano Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS). The expected result is that the solubility increases so that the drug delivery system is more effective. The extraction process of soursop leaves uses the percolation method with chloroform as a solvent. It used tween 80 and cremophore E.L. as surfactant, propylene glycol as a cosurfactant, and candlenut oil as a carrier, to make the SNEDDS formulation. Then performed a comparison between the optimal parameters for the physical properties of the SNEDDS formulation with the predictive Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) formulation with the students' t-test statistical analysis [p> 0.05]. Then carried out several tests such as loading dosage extractability, accelerated stability test, particle size, and zeta potential. Furthermore, the antioxidant test was carried out using the DPPH reagent. The optimum composition of candlenut oil, propylene glycol, a mixture of tween 80, and cremophor E.L. based on SLD is 12%: 22%: 66%, respectively. The SNEDDS optimum formulation for chloroform extract of soursop leaves produces a stable nanoemulsion, homogenous. It has a transmittance value of 90.58% ± 0.151, emulsification time of 59.44 ± 1.763 seconds, and a value of separation phase 1. The physical formulation test results showed no significant difference between observations with predictive design expert software. SNEDDS can produce 25.0 mg of soursop chloroform extract with particle size 411.4 nm, polydispersion index 0.482, and zeta potential 34.2 mV. IC50 value in 36.28 ppm indicated the antioxidant potential of the SNEDDS formulation for chloroform extract of soursop leaves is high.

Abstract

Red yeast rice (RYR), commonly known as angkak, is a functional food fermented by rice using Monascus mushrooms. It has a pigment and flavonoid content that is useful as an antioxidant and plays a role in preventing cancer or tumors. This analysis aims to test the antiproliferation activity of commercial RYR fractions of water and ethyl acetate against Miyazaki Canine Mammary Gland Tumor-Bambang 2 (MCM-B2) breast tumor cells. Research on RYR antiproliferation of cancer-sustaining MCM-B2 cells has not been previously released. In the preliminary study, the antiproliferation bioactivity was measured using the brine shrimp lethality test. The outcome of the brine shrimp lethality test showed that ethyl acetate and water fraction cytotoxicity were more than 1000 ppm and 337.07 ppm, respectively, at a lethal concentration of 50. Antiproliferative activity analyses were performed using direct hemocytometer counting. The antiproliferation activity data collected were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan continuous testing. The outcome showed that the water and ethyl acetate RYR antiproliferation activity against MCM B2 cancer cells correlated positively with the increasing concentration of each fraction. Ethyl acetate and water fractions at concentrations of 350 ppm may inhibit the growth of MCM-B2 cancer cells in vitro, reaching 42.63 percent and 39.84 percent, respectively, not significantly different (P < 0.05) with a positive doxorubicin control of 41.24 percent. In conclusion, the ethyl acetate and water fraction of RYR have potent antiproliferation activity against MCM-B2 breast tumor cells.

Abstract

One of the disadvantages of gel preparations is the poor ability to penetrate the skin. Herein we developed a sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC)-based gel containing microparticle of doxycycline hyclate (DOX).  Oleic acid (OA) was added into the gel formulation specifically to increase the penetrability of DOX microparticles. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of varying concentration of OA on the physical characteristics, penetration and retention abilities of DOX. DOX microparticles were initially prepared using PLGA as a matrix and then incorporated into a NaCMC-based gel with various OA concentrations: 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% for F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5, respectively. The gel preparations were evaluated for their organoleptic test, homogeneity, pH measurement, viscosity, spreadability, as well as ex vivo penetration and retention abilities. The physical characteristics tests revealed a homogeneous yellow gel with a distinctive odor and pH values compatible with the pH requirements of human skin. The retention test showed the formulation retained 1236.46 µg of DOX in the skin. Finally, the skin retention of DOX from microparticles loaded gel was significantly higher compared to the free DOX loaded gel, indicating the microparticles can be extremely effective in retaining the DOX in the infected area.

Abstract

Free radicals affect aging by unspecific lead breakdown to macromolecules, like DNA, lipids, and proteins. The degradation of the extracellular matrix affects skin aging and correlated with the hyaluronidase enzyme. Rose (Rosa damascena) petal extract and rose receptacle extract can scavenge free radicals, thus hindering the aging process. This study examines phenolic and flavonoid content, the antioxidant, anti-hyaluronidase potential owned by rose petal extract (RPE), and rose receptacle extract (RRE) inhibiting skin aging. In this study, Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging activity assay was done to analyze the antioxidant activity while the hyaluronidase inhibitory assay analyzed antiaging activity. The characteristic of RPE and RRE were measured the phenolics and flavonoids content. The phenolics content of  RPE and RRE were 9.66 μg GAE/mg RPE and  4.31  μg GAE/mg RRE, respectively, while the flavonoids content of  RPE and RRE respectively 1.22 μg QE/mg RPE and 0.59 μg QE/mg RRE. The median inhibitory (IC50) of H2O2 scavenging of RPE (207.99 µg/mL) was more active than RRE (348.24 µg/mL). RPE's anti-hyaluronidase (IC50: 51.68 µg/mL) is as effective as RRE (IC50: 51.98 µg/mL). Antioxidant and antiaging activities possessed by RPE and RRE are promising natural agents for aging therapy.

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 has become a pandemic in the world. The virus binds to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, which is found in epithelial cells such as in the lungs, to generate the pathology of COVID-19. It is essential to analyze the characteristics of ACE2 in understanding the development of the disease and study potential new drugs. The analysis was carried out using computer simulations to speed up protein analysis that utilized Artificial Intelligence technology, databases, and big data. Homology modeling is a method to exhibit homologous of protein families, hence the model and arrangement of protein sequences modeled are established. This research aims to determine the possibility of mutations in ACE2 by performing the mutation prediction. The result shows reliable homologous modeling with the score of GA341, MPQS, Z-DOPE, and TSVMod NO35 were 1; 1.28252; -0.47; and 0.793, respectively. Moreover, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis describes that ACE2 has a molecular transport function in cells while there are no mutations found occurred in ACE2 analyzed using SIFT and PROVEAN.

Abstract

The yoghurt consisted of low-fat milk, three bacterial strains starter, which included: L. bulgaricus ATCC 11842, L. plantarum ATCC 8014, and B. longum (1:1:1); purple sweet potato puree (Ipomoea batatas, L.) and carboxymethylcellulose sodium with the concentration of 0.6%, 1.2%, and 1.8%. Purple sweet potato fortification in yogurt can prevent hypercholesterolemic conditions because it inhibits lipid and sugar absorption in the intestine. Unfortunately, there is one shortcoming in the production of yogurt which affects the final product quality. This shortcoming is in the decrease in the air holding capacity (whey off) during the production due to the pH level within the isoelectric point of casein. This causes precipitation and phase separation. This study will add a stabilizer to the formula to overcome it. The stabilizer used is carboxymethylcellulose sodium, which is semi-synthetic water-soluble ester polymer cellulose. This study aimed to determine the optimal concentration of carboxymethylcellulose sodium and its effect on purple sweet potato yogurt's physicochemical and organoleptic properties. The product quality evaluations were on organoleptic evaluation, density, viscosity, and pH level. Centrifugation and freeze-thaw tests were also performed to evaluate product stability. The results showed that carboxymethylcellulose sodium could maintain the stability of purple sweet potato yogurt by binding the air content, increasing consistency, and smoothing the texture even though it did not affect the freezing point of the product. This study gave the best results for purple sweet potato yogurt with 1.2% carboxymethylcellulose sodium concentration.

Abstract

The clinical guideline recommends home monitoring for hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia maintenance therapy. The study aimed to compare the 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk calculated using systolic blood pressure, fasting total-cholesterol, and fasting blood sugar measured at the clinic and home. This analytical cross-sectional study was done in population from villages in Sleman District, Yogyakarta. The subjects were selected purposively with the criteria of 40-79 years old and signing the informed consent. The home-measured systolic blood pressure was monitored with a digital sphygmomanometer and peripheral finger-stick methods for cholesterol and blood sugar. On the same occasion, the clinic measurements were monitored with a mercury sphygmomanometer for systolic blood pressure, and with venous plasma analyzed in the laboratory for cholesterol and blood glucose. Measurements between methods were compared with paired T-tests. The subjects (n=171) had a mean age of 52.6 (8.1) years; 21.6% were male. The systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and blood glucose from clinic and home measurement were 130.0 (21.1) mmHg and 137.6 (22.4) mmHg (p<0.001); 202.8 (32.8) mg/dl and 205.2 (44.8) mg/dl (p= 0.44); and 98.5 (42.9) mg/dl and 91.9 (34.6) mg/dl (p<0.001) respectively. The average ASCVD risks of the clinic and home measurements were 6.4 (6.2)% and 7.1 (6.9)% (p<0.001); however, both methods had the same ASCVD risk category at borderline risk (5-<7.5%). Conclusion: The ASCVD risk scores calculated using clinic and home measurements were statistically different.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease that affects most people. Almost every people have certain specific factors that can cause this disease to increase. One of which is inadequate physical activity so that cholesterol levels remain and tend to get higher, which is a risk factor for heart and blood vessel disorders. Patients with this disease and having dyslipidemia complications must treat with appropriate therapy until reaching success. The patient's adherence determines the success of the treatment. Therefore the purpose of this research is to assess the relationship. Its objects were hypertensive patients at the Government Hospital in Yogyakarta. The specialty of the hypertensive patient is having dyslipidemia complications. The study uses non-experimental with a cross-sectional study. The sample was selected based on the purposive sampling technique in December 2018-February 2019. The measurement of therapy adherence used MARS questionnaire and the achievement of therapy targets through secondary data on patient blood pressure. Chi-square test was chosen to determine the relationship between 2 variables, which are therapy adherence and achieving blood pressure targets. The sample in this study were 47 respondents, of which 53.2% of the patients were <60 years old, in which 51.1% of them were female. The results showed that patients who were adherent to therapy were 25.5%, and those who were not were 74.5%. The results of achieving the blood pressure target are known to be 68.1%. The data analysis results showed that the one-way hypothesis in Fisher's test obtaining p-value = 0.171 (p> 0.05) was no relationship between adherence and target achievement. Therefore the results of this study concluded that there is no relationship between drug therapy adherence and blood pressure targets achievement.

Abstract

Dillenia suffruticosa is one of the tropical medicinal plants that has been used traditionally for treating several tropical diseases. However, phytochemical and pharmacological investigations of D. suffruticosa wood bark have not been well-investigated. This research aimed to investigate the correlation between antioxidant properties and total phenolic content of phenolics rich extract and fractions from D. suffruticosa wood bark. The phytochemical investigation revealed the existence of phenolics and alkaloids in methanolic crude wood bark extract and all fractions. Meanwhile, the presence of flavonoids was shown in chloroform and methanol fractions. The highest total phenolic content was demonstrated by methanol fraction with 254.34 ± 16.86 mg GAE/g extract. Meanwhile, the highest total flavonoid content was interestingly displayed in chloroform fraction with 15.33 ± 0.26 mg RE/g extract. The crude extract and methanol fraction had a profound antioxidant activity with IC50 values of less than 15.63 ppm and 8.83 ppm, respectively. A strong correlation was shown between the antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents through correlation analysis. Thus, the D. suffruticosa wood bark could be considered a potential natural source of antioxidants.

Abstract

Nanosilver (AgNPs) can be synthesized using plant extracts that safe, simple, and environmentally friendly. Sweet orange contains flavonoids and citric acid, which can be a bioreductor and capping agent in silver biosynthesis to increase antimicrobial activity. AgNPs are then dispersed in a gel for acne treatment through a peel-off mask preparation. Humectants provide moisture, prevent skin irritation and regulate the viscosity of the preparation. Propylene Glycol (PG) and Polyethylene Glycol 400 (PEG 400) are humectants combined to obtain good physicochemical properties of the preparation. This study aims to determine the character of AgNPs and the effect of humectant combinations on the physicochemical properties of peel-off mask preparations. AgNPs characterization was performed using UV-VIS Spectrophotometry, Particle Size Analysis, and Scanning Electron Microscope. The PG-PEG 400 combinations are F1 (0: 100%); F2 (25%: 75%); F3 (50%: 50%); F4 (75%: 25%) and F5 (100%: 0). The physical-chemical test for 28 days included organoleptic, viscosity, dry time, and pH. The biosynthesis results produced AgNPs with maximum absorption of nanoparticles at 435 nm, rod morphological shapes measuring 106 ± 10.6 nm, and PI 0.26 ± 0.06. Statistical analysis showed that the PG-PEG 400 combination significantly affected the viscosity, dispersibility, and dry time of the preparation but affected nothing to pH. The combination of PG-PEG 400 decreased the viscosity and increased the dispersibility of peel-off mask preparation. The higher concentration of propylene glycol caused the dry time of preparation to become longer. Formulas with PG-PEG 400 combination of 25%: 75% and 75%: 25% meet the requirements of viscosity, dispersibility, dry time, and pH and not significant changes during 28 days of storage at room temperature.
