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.

Abstract

The use of partially pregelatinized starch in tablet formulations is entirely various; one of them is disintegrant. Present pregelatinized starch is imported from another country, which is relatively expensive. In contrast, many plants can be used as starch sources, including cassava which is relatively abundant in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the effect of using partially pregelatinized starch from cassava as a disintegrant in paracetamol tablets. In this study, seven formulas were used with different disintegrants, three formulas using partially pregelatinized starch from cassava with concentrations of F1 5%, F2 10%, and F3 15%, three formulas using Starch 1500 with the same concentration as partially pregelatinized starch from cassava and one control formula without disintegrant. The tablet was made using the wet granulation method. The tablets produced were tested for physical properties (hardness, disintegration, and dissolution). In addition, compact ability of partially pregelatinized starch from cassava was compared with Avicel, Starch 1500, and cassava starch. Based on the results of the study showed that partially pregelatinized starch from cassava produced tablets that tended to be capping with less hardness than tablets with Starch 1500 and control tablets. The compact ability test results showed that the compact ability of partially pregelatinized starch from cassava was better than Starch 1500 and cassava starch. The disintegration test results showed that tablets with partially pregelatinized starch from cassava had faster disintegration than tablets with Starch 1500 and control tablets. The dissolution profile of tablets with partially pregelatinized starch from cassava is also better than other formulas.

Abstract

Piperine is a type of alkaloid found in plants of the Piperaceae family, including Piper nigrum and Piper longum, which has numerous pharmacological properties and is being developed as a nutraceutical. However, its poor solubility makes delivering in effective doses for therapeutic purposes challenging. To overcome this limitation, the cocrystals of piperine and succinic acid was prepared, which are more soluble, and then formulated into orally disintegrating films (ODFs) for better delivery. The cocrystals were formed using the slurry method, while the ODFs were made using the solvent-casting method with different concentrations of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400. The resulting films were evaluated for various parameters, such as their organoleptic characteristics, weight and thickness uniformity, pH, moisture content, swelling properties, and disintegration time. The results showed that the ODF with 6% HPMC as a film-forming polymer and 0.6% PEG 400 as a plasticizer loaded with 10 mg of piperine in the form of piperine-succinic acid cocrystal was the best formula. This ODF formulation disintegrated in less than one minute and was found to be a good film with uniform content.
