Abstract

Gel is a semisolid dosage form that consumers prefer because of its cool sensation. This research aimed to identify the effect of different concentrations of ethanolic extract from potato peels on the physical properties and the antibacterial activities of the resultant gels against Propionibacterium acnes. The gel was prepared with three formulas using a variety of potato peel concentrations, namely 50%, 60% and 70%. Its physical properties were analyzed based on organoleptic observation, homogeneity, pH, and spreadability. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of potato peels affected the color and viscosity of the gel. However, no effects were detected on shape, smell, pH, and spreadability. All formulas showed strong inhibitory capacity against Propionibacterium acnes.

Abstract

Roselle calyx (Hibiscus sabdariffa L) is widely used as an antioxidant, antihepatotoxic, diuretic, anti-cholesterol, and immunostimulant. Roselle contains anthocyanin and quercetin that have antioxidant activity. This study aimed to determine the effects of the ethanolic extract of roselle calyx on hematocrit, platelets, and erythrocytes in healthy volunteers during the 30-day administration and 15 days after it ceased. This study employed pre- and post-treatment design on 21 healthy volunteers, comprising 11 males and 10 females who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and filled out the informed consent form willingly. Volunteers were provided with roselle capsules for 30 days with a dosage of 500 mg a day taken 10-15 minutes after dinner. The hematologic examination was performed on Day 0, 31, and 45, including the measurement of hematocrit, platelet, and erythrocyte levels using a hematology analyzer. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS with paired t-test and Wilcoxon test. The results showed that the hematocrit, platelets, and erythrocytes of all male and female volunteers on Day 0, 31, and 45 were within the normal range. The comparison analysis affirmed that there was no significant difference between these three parameters from Day 0 to 31, Day 31 to 45, and Day 0 to 45 (p>0.05). As a conclusion, the administration of the ethanolic extract of roselle calyx with a dosage of one 500mg capsule per day for 30 days did not affect the hematocrit, platelets, and erythrocytes in healthy volunteers. There was also no delayed effect on these three hematological parameters 15 days after the administration stopped.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. One of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease is hyperlipidemia. This study aimed to determine the potential of Zingiberaceae (10 species) as inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation. This study was conducted by 2 methods including assay of HMG CoA reductase inhibition and lipid peroxidation test. The study was performed by in vitro method, using 20% rat liver homogenate. The inhibition of HMG CoA reductase enzyme was done by reacting liver homogenate, HMG CoA substrate, which added the Zingiberaceae extract compared with simvastatin as standard drug. The absorbance of the mixture was measured by a Microlab 300 spectrophotometer at a 340 nm wavelength. Lipid peroxidation assay was induced by the FeSO4.7H2O solution. The absorbance value measured using a spectrophotometer at a 532 nm wavelength. Lipid peroxidation inhibition was characterized by absorbance of the test extract, compared with the control group. The obtained data was calculated as percent of inhibition and was used to calculate IC50 extract test. The results showed that the 10 ethanolic extracts of Zingiberaceae rhizomes have activity as enzyme inhibitor HMG-CoA reductase with IC50 value range 65.8±4.1 – 203.3±15.2 ppm, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation with IC50 value range 13.5±5.0 – 219.6±4.3 ppm. This study can be concluded that the Zingiberaceae rhizomes have potential role as antihyperlipidemic agents through inhibition of HMG CoA reductase enzyme activity and preventing lipid peroxidation.

Abstract

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is chemotherapy agents that used in breast cancer treatment that has toxic effects such as myelotoxicity. its effectiveness relatively low. Bawang Dayak has been widely empirically used as a breast cancer treatment. This study's aims were to determine the sensitivity of 5-FU against T47D cells, as single and its combination with EBD, to determine apoptotic induction, and the inhibitory effect of T47D cell cycle. The cytotoxic assay was using the MTT method with the concetration of 5-FU (0-600μg / mL) and EBD (0-250μg / mL). Apoptotic induction analysis were determined by PI/annexin V. Both of apoptotic and cell cycle analysis was performed by flowcytometry. The results of the 5-FU and EBD cytotoxic test on T47D cells obtained IC50 274μg/mL and 75μg/mL, respectively. The combination of 5-FU and EBD has a mild to strong synergistic effect (CI 0.829 and 0.779). its ombined treatment induced apoptosis in T47D cells by 21.33%. Combination of these combinations caused cell accumulation in G0-G1 phase of 57.11%, greater than control (41.20%). Provision of 5-FU and EBD combination treatments causes disturbance and damage to cells that cause cell cycle arrest in the G0-G1 phase and can not proceed to the next phase. The combination of 5-fluorouracil and EBD has a synergistic effect as breast cancer co-chemotherapy is able to induce apoptosis against T47D cells by triggering cell accumulation in G0-G1 phase. The extract of Bawang Dayak has a high potential to be developed as co-chemotherapy in breast cancer.

Abstract

The 1-phenyl-1-(quinazolin-4-yl) ethanol compounds are alkaloids of quinozoline class found in many Hydrangeaceae families. A survey revealed that most of the identified quinazolin derivatives have anticancer activity. Toxicity prediction of 1-phenyl-1-(quinazolin-4-yl) ethanols were performed to obtain the best three compounds with high activity and the lowest toxicity. Toxicity prediction was conducted using Toxtree, pkCSM and PreADMET. 2D structure of compounds were formed using ChemDraw. The decision tree approach was used in Toxtree application with endpoints including Cramer rules, Kroes TTC, carcinogenicity (genotoxic and non genotoxic) and in vitro mutagenicity. Graph based signature was used in pkCSM application with endpoints including mutagenicity, maximum daily dose, LD50 and hepatotoxicity. In PreADMET application, a method based on drugs similarity and ADMET properties was used with endpoints including mutagenicity, carcinogenicity to rat and mice. The results of data analysis showed that the best three anticancer compounds that have high activity and the lowest toxicity are compounds 14, 16 and 19.
