Abstract

Capparis decidua belongs to family Capparidaceae in wastelands of India. The study aim was to determine the role of C. decidua fruits on the free fatty acids (FFA) profile in fat-rich diet (FRD) dyslipidemic rats. The methanolic extract of edible fruit of C. decidua (CD) was given orally to obese dyslipidemic rats at the dose of 125 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg for consecutive 28 days. CD treatment in FRD rats significantly restricts the body weight gains. Blood lipid profile was altered dose dependently and significantly after 4-week treatment with CD to FRD. rats. It significantly (p<0.05) enhanced serum FFA especially, g-linolinate, a-linolinate, arachidonate, ecosapentaenoate, docosapentaenoate and docosahexaenoate. Moreover, w3-PUFA content was also enhanced (50.3% and 78.8%) in the serum of CD treated animals, whereas MUFA was lowered (31.1% and 40%). Therefore, Capparis decidua fruit has a promising role on dyslipidemia and obesity and has the capabilities to regulate beneficial free fatty acids.

Abstract

Chronic renal disease is significantly increased by hypertension. Controlling blood pressure is critical in hypertensive individuals. Patients who have good blood pressure (BP) control can reduce morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to compare blood pressure reduction of candesartan-amlodipine with the candesartan-furosemide combination in hypertensive patients with chronic renal disease. The study was conducted by a cohort study design. Retrieval of medical record data was carried out prospectively during the period February-April 2019. The blood pressure reduction was assessed by changes in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure and mean diastolic blood pressure and was analyzed statistically with the SPSS program. A total of 54 patients met the inclusion criteria, consisting of 27 patients receiving candesartan-amlodipine combination and 27 patients receiving candesartan-furosemide combination therapy. The results of the sociodemographic characteristics patients were male 30 patients (55.6%), age 56-65 years 24 patients (44.4%), senior high school education level 31 patients (57.4%). Candesartan-amlodipine and candesartan-furosemide combinations both decreased blood pressure in patients. However, the result of the statistical analysis revealed that there was no significant difference in blood pressure decline. (p> 0.05) between the two combinations.

Abstract

Urolithiasis is a pathological condition marked by the formation of urinary stones (calculi) in the urinary tract. Avocado leaf (Persea americana M.) contains substances that play crucial roles in the solubility of calcium in urinary stones, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and magnesium. Empirically, avocado leaves are used to make urinating easier and break stones in the urinary tract. This study aims to determine the effect of avocado leaf infusion to dissolve urinary stones in white male rats. According to the experiment, 24 male white rats were divided into four groups; the negative control group (not given infusion), the 1 g/kg BW dose group, the 2 g/kg BW dose group, and the 3 g/kg BW dose group of avocado leaves infusion. The infusion was administered orally for seven consecutive days after 28 days of planting black silk thread as the stone core in the urinary tract. Then, the stone formed is taken. The weight and volume are measured. The urinary stones were tested qualitatively in terms of calcium and oxalate. The results showed that there were significant differences among treatment groups in weight and volume of urinary stones. The effect of bladder stone dissolving was best in the 3 g/kg BW group. The qualitative test also shows that urinary stones contain the same calcium and oxalate as urinary stones that form in humans. Avocado leaves infusion can have a urinary stone dissolving effect on white male rats. Increasing the dose of avocado leaves infusion increases its effectiveness as a urinary stone dissolution.

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.
