Abstract

Breast cancer poses a significant global health challenge, with a notable prevalence in Indonesia. Given the intricate nature of breast cancer progression and classification, precise treatment strategies are imperative, particularly targeting signaling pathways like PI3K/AKT, pivotal in cell growth, proliferation, survival, and apoptosis. Bioactive compounds from the Strychnine tree demonstrate potential in enhancing apoptotic effects and inhibiting breast carcinogenesis. This potential is explored through in silico studies. This research aims to analyze potential targets of Strychnine tree compounds, along with binding energy and stability between ligands and receptors. Employing bioinformatics target analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation, the study reveals AKT1 as a potential target of Strychnine tree compounds. These compounds inhibit AKT1 at both active and allosteric sites, displaying notably low binding energy scores. For example, brucine exhibits a binding energy of -10.83 kJ/mol at the active site, surpassing the standard capivasertib. However, lupeol, with a binding energy of -11.14 kJ/mol, falls short of the MK-2206 standard at the allosteric site. Molecular dynamics simulations expose fluctuations in parameters like RMSD, RMSF, and binding energy within the initial 5 ns. In conclusion, Strychnine tree compounds, such as brucine and lupeol, showcase potential AKT1 inhibition at both active and allosteric sites, enhancing apoptotic effects. However, the stability of these compounds in binding to their receptors within the first 5 ns of the simulation warrants further investigation for prolonged interactions.

Abstract

Quality control during production is a critical process that ensures the quality of the tablets until it reaches the consumer. In the pharmaceutical industry, there is a possibility of reworking, including tablet recompression. Nevertheless, the recompression process may have affected the potential of PVP K-30 as a binder to reunite the particles of tablet ingredients. However, the difference of PVP K-30 concentration might be resulting in the differences of granule and tablet characteristics. This study aims to determine whether there is an effect of recompression and the difference of PVP K-30 on the quality of paracetamol tablets. The effect of recompression and the difference of PVP K-30 was seen based on whether there is a significant different on physical properties of the mixture of tablet ingredients (mixture’s flow rate and compressibility) and the tablets (compatibility and tablet’s hardness, friability, and disintegration time) from the formula with a concentration of 2% w/w and 4% w/w PVP K-30 after experiencing 2 times of recompression. Paracetamol tablets were made by wet granulation method through the stages of granulation, lubrication, physical properties testing of the mixture, tablet compression, physical properties testing of tablets, crushing, and recompression. Data analysis was performed statistically using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, followed by two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) or Kruskal-Wallis test and Post Hoc Mann Whitney test. The results showed there was an effect of recompression and different concentration of PVP K-30 on the potential of PVP K-30 as a binder as seen from significant differences in the physical properties of the mixture and tablets in each test group.

Abstract

The assessment of quality of life serves as a critical evaluation of the effectiveness of the administered hemodialysis treatment. The measurement of quality of life can be conducted using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQoL-SF™) questionnaire. This research aims to gather information concerning the quality of life among patients with hemodialysis due to chronic kidney failure at the dr. S. Hardjolukito Regional Military Hospital in Yogyakarta. The research employed a cross-sectional design. The respondents consisted of 65 patients selected through purposive sampling based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Independent T-test, Mann-Whitney test, Chi-Square test and Fischer test were conducted to define the association between quality of life and respondent characteristics. Most of the hemodialysis patients was male (50.8%) with average od age was 54.66 years old. The findings revealed that 64.6% of the respondents experienced moderate/poor quality of life, while 35.4% exhibited good quality of life. Statistical analysis established a significant relationship between respondent characteristics and quality of life based on the variables of age and duration of hemodialysis (p<0.05). Hemoglobin levels, number of prescribed medications, gender, education, occupation and income demonstrated no significant relationship with the quality of life. Among the respondents’ characteristics, age and duration of hemodialysis were associated with the quality of life.

Abstract

Diabetic patients with poor blood glucose control are highly susceptible to developing secondary infections, which can lead to the development of prolonged diabetic ulcers. Therefore, a suitable medication that may effectively prevent the occurrence of secondary infections is crucial to shorten the closure of diabetic ulcers. Red betel leaf (Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav) reportedly possesses antimicrobial activity due to the presence of flavonoids. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of red betel leaf (EERBL) ointments against the most prevalent bacteria associated with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU): Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The EERBL was prepared by macerating powdered red betel leaf with 96% ethanol and was screened for the presence of flavonoids and the determination of total flavonoid content (TFC) by thin layer chromatography and UV-Vis spectrophotometry, respectively. This study examined three hydrophilic-based ointments containing 10%, 20%, and 30% EERBL, respectively, followed by characterization for pH, spreadability, stickiness, and viscosity. The EERBL ointments' effect on the bacteria was evaluated using the well-diffusion method by observing inhibition zone formation after 24-hour incubation. The results showed that varying the EERBL concentrations in the formulations led to different spreadability, stickiness and viscosity (p<0.05). Furthermore, all EERBL ointments demonstrated the formation of an inhibition zone on cultured media, indicating the presence of antimicrobial activity. The ointment with 30% EERBL had the largest diameter of the inhibition zone against both bacteria (p<0.05). The findings suggest enhanced antimicrobial activity was observed with an increase in the concentration of EERBL within the ointments.

Abstract

Purple leaves are one of the plants that are widely used as medicine. Purple leaves have 3 types of plant varieties, namely purple leaves, green leaves, and white mottled leaves.  Purple leaves have pharmacological activities that can be used as medicine, including antioxidants (improving the deterioration of cells in the body), anti-inflammatory (reducing or suppressing inflammation), antidiabetic (lowering blood glucose levels), analgesics (relieving pain), immunomodulators (increasing the work of the immune system in the body), antihemorrhoids (treating symptoms and complaints of hemorrhoids), and antibacterial (as an antiseptic). The purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of purple leaf ethanol extract (Graphtophyllum pictum (L.) Griff) in vitro using the DPPH method and to determine its effectiveness as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory against Wistar rats.The results showed that antioxidant activity showed an IC50 value of 72.31 ppm (strong antioxidant). Meanwhile, in the analgetic test, the highest percentage of analgesic effectiveness was found at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW (129.64%) and showed anti-inflammatory activity at a dose of 100 mg/kgBW with a percentage decrease in edem volume of 28.73% at the sixth hour.

Abstract

Osteoarthritis of the knee often requires pharmacological treatments when non-pharmacological methods are insufficient. Yet, these medications can have serious side effects and be costly. Therefore, exploring alternative therapies and herbal remedies becomes a crucial aspect in the management of osteoarthritis. Areca nut is a plant known to possess numerous pharmacological properties. Areca nut (Areca catechu L.) seed extract with 25% ethanol has lipoxygenase enzyme inhibitory activity, one of the mediators of inflammation in the body. This research aimed to evaluate the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of the topical application of a 25% ethanol extract of areca nut seeds in male white rats with an induced osteoarthritis model. The research employed an experimental pre-post design. Each treatment group consisted of five animals. The induction used in this study was Monosodium Iodoacetate (MIA) with a concentration of 1 mg/200 grams BW. The animals were divided into five groups: positive control (Natrium Diclofenac® Cream), negative control (Vaseline flavum), Treatment I (2.5% extract concentration), Treatment II (5% extract concentration), and Treatment III (7.5% extract concentration). Statistical analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA (p<0.05) with Duncan’s post hoc test. The ethanol extract of areca nut seeds displayed an anti-osteoarthritis effect, with the 7.5% concentration providing efficacy nearly equivalent to that of the positive control. This was followed by extract concentrations of 5% and 2.5%.

Abstract

The Merdeka plant (Chromolaena odorata L.) is known for its various pharmacological benefits, including gastroprotection, antibacterial, antihyperglycemic effects, and wound healing promotion. To ensure safe use in the community, it is important to evaluate its potential toxicity. This study examined the effects of ethanol extract of Merdeka leaf (C. odorata) on liver function by measuring the levels of serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) in male rats (Rattus norvegicus). Twenty-five male Wistar rats were split into five groups: three treatment groups that received ethanol extract at doses of 150 mg/kg BW, 300 mg/kg BW, and 600 mg/kg BW, a negative control group that received 0.5% Na CMC, and a normal control group that received no treatment. For 28 days, the extract was taken orally every day. Following surgery, liver and kidney tissues were removed for histology on day 29, and blood samples were obtained via the aorta. The findings demonstrated that rats administered 600 mg/kg BW of ethanol extract had significantly greater SGOT and SGPT levels than controls (p < 0.05), suggesting that high dose of Merdeka leaf extract may have an impact on kidney and liver functions.

Abstract

The pineapple stem, a byproduct of the pineapple plant, contains a high starch content suitable for conversion into the super disintegrant sodium starch glycolate (SSG). The starch content of pineapple stems can be modified into the super-disintegrant sodium starch glycolate (SSG). This study aims to explore the potential of modified pineapple stem starch as SSG, evaluate its physicochemical characteristics, and determine the optimal tablet. Pineapple stem starch was modified into SSG through crosslinking and carboxymethylation. Tablets were then prepared using the wet granulation method, followed by physical evaluations of tablets (weight and size uniformity, disintegration time, hardness, and friability). Four formulations with varying super disintegrant concentrations were tested: F0 (4% imported SSG, control), F1 (2% pineapple stem SSG), F2 (4% pineapple stem SSG), and F3 (6% pineapple stem SSG). The tablet evaluations for all formulations met standard requirements for each test. The study's results concluded that pineapple stem starch can be modified into SSG, exhibiting a faster swelling ability compared to natural starch. The typical functional groups of SSG appear at peaks of 1410 cm-1, 1411 cm-1, and 1415 cm-1. The best formula, F3, which is based on the physical properties of the tablets, has met the requirements with the fastest disintegration time.

Abstract

Mangosteen peel extract (Garcinia mangostana L.) shows strong potential in treating diabetic ulcers. Topical applications via dermal patches enable direct delivery of active compounds while protecting wounds from contaminants, preventing bacterial invasion, and maintaining moisture factors essential for promoting effective wound healing in diabetic patients. The dermal patches of mangosteen peel extract were developed using a combination of EC and PVP K-30 polymers. Previously, the mangosteen peels were extracted utilizing the ultrasound-assisted extraction method. Subsequently, the dermal patches were prepared utilizing solvent casting techniques, employing a combination of ethyl cellulose and polyvinyl pyrrolidone in ratios of 1:3 (F1), 1:2 (F2), and 1:1 (F3). The dermal patches were assessed for their physicochemical properties, including organoleptic characteristics, thickness, weight uniformity, folding endurance, moisture uptake, moisture loss, and pH values. The content of alpha-mangostin was analyzed using UV spectrophotometry, while the interactions between the active ingredient and excipients were examined through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The crystallinity profiles were analyzed using an X-ray diffractometer. Surface morphologies were assessed using scanning electron microscopy. The dermal patches were thin, light yellow, smelled of menthol, uniform in size, and exhibited good folding endurance (>300 folds). The moisture uptake and moisture loss were minimal. The pH values ranged from 6.99 to 7.24. The total xanthone concentrations in patches F1, F2, and F3 were 95.26% ± 0.47, 71.42% ± 1.99, and 78.54% ± 0.47, respectively. It showed no chemical interaction between active ingredients and excipients and had amorphous forms. The surface morphologies displayed smoothness for F1, whereas F2 and F3 exhibited solid spots. It was concluded that formulation F1, which contained ethyl cellulose and polyvinyl pyrrolidone in a 1:3 ratio, was the optimal formulation.
