Abstract

One plant that has the potential as an antioxidant is Ziziphus spina-christi (ZSC) because it contains phenolics and flavonoids. This study aims to determine the flavonoid content both qualitatively and quantitatively and to test the antioxidant activity of ZSC leaf extract using in vitro and in silico attenuation methods. Determination of the total flavonoid content of ZSC leaf extract using a comparison of quercetin. In vitro the antioxidant activity assay of ZSC leaf extract was carried out by measuring the reducing activity of ZSC leaf extract against the radical DPPH using ascorbic acid as comparison, while the in silico method using QSAR and pharmacophore modeling techniques. The results showed that the total flavonoid content obtained from ZSC leaf extract was 0.2515 ± 0.0013 mg QE/g D.W with an IC50 of 58.9296 ppm. This value indicates that ZSC leaf extract has potential as a strong antioxidant. Furthermore, from the in silico method using pharmacophore modeling and QSAR techniques, 8 hit compounds were obtained from the content of ZSC with IC50 QSAR ranging from 6.57 to 0.0004, which was thought to be the metabolite that had the most role in its antioxidant activity. This value indicates that ZSC leaf extract has potential as a very strong antioxidant. It also proves that QSAR and pharmacophore modeling techniques can be used as confirmatory tests for in vitro results in determining the antioxidant activity of natural materials.

Abstract

Halal medicine is an interesting topic to always discuss because it is a priority choice for Muslim consumers, one of which is halal capsules. Currently, molecular biology techniques such as real-time polymerase chain reactions are rapidly developing, including for the analysis of non-halal components based on DNA sequences. This study aimed to validate the quantitative PCR method for identifying DNA in gelatin-based products and to apply the confirmation method designed for capsule samples on the market circulating in Yogyakarta to prove the halalness of these samples. Validation of the porcine DNA detection analysis method on standard extraction of porcine gelatin using primer pairs obtained in previous studies. Validated methods are used for testing market capsule shells. The qPCR method using D-loop primers is specifically capable of amplifying porcine gelatin DNA up to a concentration of 0.5 pg/µL, with a CV value in the amplification response of porcine gelatin DNA isolates (1000 pg/µL) of 0.85% which meets the test criteria using the PCR. Three samples of commercial soft capsules tested gave a positive amplification response, meaning that the samples tested contained porcine DNA, and one negative sample, which probably had non-porcine gelatin. The application of this method is also very useful for ensuring the authenticity of the capsule shell, especially from cross-contamination and counterfeiting.

Abstract

Herbal tea are popular because of their potential herbal medicine, a blend of herbal ingredients, promised to provide a specific purpose. The main purpose is to determine antioxidant activity in herbal teas (pandan mixed ginger) and in their infusions, as well as to obtain more complex information about the tea products. In this study, DPPH radical scavenging, H2O2 scavenging, ABTS reduction, and FRAP reduction assay were carried out. These assays are proved that the IC50 values of ginger are higher than PanJe and pandan. For DPPH scavenging, H2O2 scavenging, FRAP scavenging, ABTS reduction activities, PanJe resulted IC50 14.69 ¼g/mL, 27.70 ¼g/mL, 7.09 ¼g/mL, and 411.28 µg/mL, while ginger yielded IC50 7.76 ¼g/mL, 13.23 μg/mL, 4.94 ¼g/mL ,and 125.95 respectively. Otherwise, the highest total phenolic and flavonoid of panje were shown at 1.60 ± 0.26 µg QE / 100% extract and 8.67 ± 0.80 µg QE/100% extract respectively. Based on these results, PanJe, pandan and ginger are concluded as an active natural product because it exhibited antioxidant activities from two mixed compounds.

Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) appears as motor dysfunction that is attributed to depleting dopamine levels due to cell death in the extrapyramidal system that is comprised of the basal ganglia’s motor neurons. Oxidative stress is central in triggering cell death. Water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) contains anthocyanins with potential antioxidative and neuroprotective activities that can ameliorate oxidative stress in PD. This research aimed to assess the antiparkinsonian activity of the water yam’s ethanol extract by observing motor (bar test, rotarod test, negative geotaxis reflex test, cliff avoidance test) and sensory activities (olfactory testing) in vivo in mice with haloperidol-induced PD. Water yam tubers were extracted by maceration with the solvent 70% ethanol. This experimental research employed a posttest-only control group design where 35 mice were equally distributed into 7 treatment groups, containing 5 each: Group 1 (normal group) was administered Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium (CMC-Na) orally (p.o.) and aqua pro injection intraperitoneally (i.p.); Group 2 (negative group) was given CMC-Na p.o.; Groups 3 and 4 (positive groups) received, respectively, levodopa p.o. and curcumin p.o.; and then, finally, Groups 5, 6, and 7 (test groups) were given the water yam extracts at varying doses: 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW. CMC-Na, levodopa, and the extract were given once a day for 7 days. Fifteen minutes after receiving their respective treatments on the last day, all the test animals, except for Group 1, were injected with haloperidol solution at 2 mg/kg BW i.p. Then, a bar test, rotarod test, geotaxis reflex test, olfactory testing, and cliff avoidance test were performed to examine their motor and sensory responses in the 5, 60, 120, and 180th minutes. The data obtained were inputted and analyzed statistically with a One-Way ANOVA and then continued with an LSD test. In addition, thin-layer chromatography was employed as the anthocyanin screening test for the ethanol extract of water yam tubers. Results showed that the ethanol extract contained pelargonidin, and when given at 200 and 400 mg/kg, it substantially shortened the exploration time and prolonged latency to first fall in all the tests relative to the haloperidol, levodopa, and curcumin groups. (p<0.05). Thus, it can be inferred that the ethanol extract of water yam contains pelargonidin (an anthocyanin compound) and has the activity of preventing haloperidol-induced PD in mice when administered at 200 and 400 mg/kg BW.

Abstract

Gembili Tuber (Dioscorea esculenta L.) is an Indonesia local tuber that reported to have potential as a source of inulin. Inulin is one of fiber types and carbohydrates sources derived from plants and has prebiotic and antibacterial activity. However, inulin long chain has low solubility in water, so it is necessary to modify the solubility in the biosynthetic process. In this study, the biosynthetic process was carried out using inulin as bioreducer of silver ions to help increase the absorption of gembili inulin. Gembili inulin was mixed with silver nitrat solution at variation temperature at 25 ℃ and 60 ℃ of biosynthetic process, in order to produce the expected particle size and antibacterial activity against bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Eshcerichia coli. The results of this study indicate that variations in solubility temperature of inulin in nanosilver biosynthetic produce particle size of 12-49 nm with round shape. Whereas the temperature of inulin solubility did not show any significant difference towards AgNO3 control in the antibacterial activity test against S.aureus and E.coli bacteria. FTIR spectra showed that interaction between functional groups of silver nitrate and gembili inulin. Inulin only acts as a capping agent of nanosilver biosynthetic and does not induce antibacterial activity of nanosilver.

Abstract

Hyperglycemia is associated with long-term damage, leading to the onset of wounds. The content of flavonoid compounds, steroids and saponins in Binahong leaves (Anredera cordifolia (Ten). Steenis) plays a role in the healing of diabetic wounds. The effectiveness of the active substance of the natural material is influenced by the large size of the particles, due to the presence of barier skin membranes. Nanoemulgel is an emulsion preparation with a droplet size of 1-100 nm which is suspended in a hydrogel. This study aims to determine the wound healing activity of diabetes in nanoemulgel preparations of binahong leaf extract (Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis) with its extract in male rats wistar hyperglycemia. The study was divided into 4 groups each consisting of 6 mice with diabetic wounds who got each a negative control group (glucose + nanoemulgel base), a positive control group (glucose + Madecassol 1%), a test group 1 (glucose + nanoemulgel, and a test group 2 (glucose + EDB). Treatment is carried out 2 times a day for 16 days. KGD measurements are carried out on the 0th, 1st, 5th, 14th and 21st days, and measurements of the diameter of the wounds are carried out on the 1st, 5th, 14th and 21st days. The KGD measurement results of the EDB nanoemulgel group decreased KGD by 52.91% on day 16 compared to the extract group which decreased by only 30.51% until the 16th day. The closure of the diabetic wounds of the EDB nanoemulgel group experienced closures of up to 52.91% compared to extracts that experienced closure of only 30.51% on day 16. The results of the one-way anova statistics showed a significant difference in the value of the decrease in kgd of the nanoemulgel preparation and its extract with the sig value. 0.045 and significant differences to the wound closure diameter of the diabetic EDB nanoemulgel group and its extract.

Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has not yet been fully under public health control, which is still currently impacting a large number of people worldwide in 2023. Since the pandemic emerged, the growing number of publications related to TMPRSS2 as a SARS-CoV-2 receptor worldwide has increased rapidly with various findings and qualities. It is important to determine the trend of TMPRSS2 publication as no such studies currently exist that represent the publication trend related to this critical field of study. Here, we employed a bibliometric-based approach to evaluate the research trends of TMPRSS2 mechanistically as the SARS-CoV-2 receptor. We identified 1012 research documents published between 2020 and 2022 for this study. The most common document category was "Research Article" (646 articles, 63.84%) followed by "Review Article" (261 articles, 25.79%), and letters to editors (57 articles, 5.63%). Germany was the most cited country with a total of citations (9400 citations), followed by the USA (6409 citations) and China (1788 citations), respectively. In conclusion, given the impact of COVID-19, this study indicated TMPRSS2 as a SARS-CoV-2 receptor as a timely and highly relevant research topic.

Abstract

Patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin Benth) is one of the essential oil-producing plants widely used in perfume, cosmetic, aromatherapy, antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal industries. The essential oil derived from patchouli leaves contains terpenoid compounds with antibacterial and antifungal activity. This study aims to determine the optimum formulation of patchouli oil spray gel as a wound antiseptic and to observe the irritation test of the samples. The spray gel formulations of patchouli oil were prepared in various concentrations i.e. 5%, 7.5%, and 10% (v/v), solved in aqua dest with the addition of carbopol 940 as the gelating agent. The spray gels were tested to determine their physical characteristics, including the organoleptic test, homogeneity test, pH, adhesive dispersion test, viscosity test, and spray pattern test. The results showed that the patchouli oil spray gels were yellowish-white and had a distinctive odor and homogeneous texture with a pH 5. They all had adhesive dispersion, and the optimum viscosity of the spray gel was found at a 7.5% (v/v) concentration of patchouli oil. The irritation test was carried out using the patch test method with a score of erythema and edema. The results showed that all three formulas very mild irritation.

Abstract

The leaves of sea hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus L.) are known to have good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, which is associated with the saponin, flavonoid, polyphenol, and tannin contents. Chemical compounds in plant extracts are, however, influenced by the extraction method used. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of the ethanol extracts of Hibiscus tiliaceus L. leaves obtained using four different extraction methods against E. coli and S. aureus. In the maceration, percolation, reflux, or Soxhlet method, 200 g of the crude drug (i.e., dried sea hibiscus leaf powder) was extracted with 96% ethanol, and the derived extract was tested at 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% concentrations. The disk diffusion method was used to test the antibacterial activity by observing and statistically analyzing the diameter of the zones of inhibition. Results showed that all the ethanol extracts have antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus,with the maceration-produced extract forming significantly different zones of inhibition from the other methods (percolation, reflux, and the Soxhlet) at all concentrations.
