Abstract

The use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause dry skin. Centella asiatica (L.) extract can be used as an alternative to alcohol because it contains triterpenoids, especially asiatic acid, potentially an antibacterial and inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Cream is a preparation that can moisturize and protect the skin. Glycerin and sorbitol are humectants often used in cream preparations and have a large percentage in the cream preparation's formula so that they can affect the physical properties of the cream. This study aims to obtain the optimum composition range of glycerin and sorbitol and determine the effect of glycerin and sorbitol as humectants on the physical properties and stability of the hand sanitizer cream with Centella asiatica (L.) extract. The composition optimization was done using a factorial design method on two factors and two levels using the Design Expert 13 (free trial) application. The data on the physical properties and stability of the cream were statistically analyzed using a two-way ANOVA test at a 95% confidence level. The results of qualitative phytochemistry screening showed that the extract contained triterpenoid. The average test of physical properties and stability of physical properties meet the desired criteria: cream type O/W, viscosity 120–170 dPa.s., spreadability of 5-7 cm, shift of spreadability, and shift of viscosity below 10%. The optimum area shows that the formulas F1, FB, and FAB meet the desired criteria.

Abstract

Hair is one of the most essential parts of the human body, both men and women; one of the problems with hair that often occurs is hair loss. Chia plants contain sebum gland-stimulating agents with a keratin protein concentration of 23%. The sebaceous glands play a role in facilitating the growth of hair follicles so that hair can thrive and prevent hair loss. This research aims to determine the optimum composition of the prediction formula using Design Expert software and the physical characteristics and stability of liquid shampoo preparations. Optimization was carried out using Design Expert 13 software with two material components, namely HPMC and SLS, and two responses, namely viscosity and foam height. The optimum formula obtained was subjected to characteristic tests and stability tests. The stability test was carried out using the cycling test method by storing the preparation at temperatures of 4◦C and 40◦C for 48 hours. The results of the prediction formula show that component X1 is 0.589307% and X2 is 9.41069%. The one-sample t-test showed that the results were not significantly different at p>0.05 in the two responses. Testing of the optimum formula's physical characteristics and physical stability meets the reasonable requirements for organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, viscosity tests 414,80±9,94 cPs, foam height tests 7,060±0,11 cm, and pH tests 7,39±0. The 8th run is the optimum formula with a composition of X1 0.589307% and X2 9.41069 % meets the requirements for good physical characteristics tests and physical stability tests.

Abstract

The fermented product sector can produce kefir for use in cosmetic preparations. Kefir has weak storage stability and strong antioxidant properties, making it a suitable raw material for cosmetic formulations. The purpose of this study is to determine the best concentration of peanut kefir in Peel-off mask Arachi through antioxidant activity and physical stability during seven cycles of room temperature storage and freeze-thaw (4±2ºC and 40±2ºC). Using the DPPH method based on the IC50 value, the antioxidant activity test was conducted. It was retested after 7 cycles or 28 days. At ambient temperature and freeze-thaw temperature, organoleptic tests, pH, adhesion, and spreadability were conducted in cycles ranging from 0 to 7. The peel-off kefir mask preparations with F1 (0.5%), F2 (1%), and F3 (2%), concentrations created a homogeneous, viscous preparation that was stable at room temperature and freeze-thaw stable for seven cycles, according to the results. In terms of the pH test, the sample showed a drop in pH following storage, stable adhesion for up to seven cycles. However, for F1, the adhesion was not stable in either scenario. With a significant activity category, the formula's antioxidant activity also declines in IC50 values. Therefore, it can be said that even though the peel-off mask preparation changed after storage in a few different ways, it still falls short of the threshold in terms of the physical characteristics of the cosmetic preparation.

Abstract

Temu Ireng (Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.) is known for its strong antioxidant properties, primarily due to its bioactive compounds such as curcumin. However, these chemicals' lipophilia and instability in traditional formulations frequently limit their bioavailability. To address these challenges, a Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) was developed using the Simple Lattice Design (SLD) method to improve the chemical and physical properties of Temu Ireng extract by forming a stable nanoemulsion that is uniformly distributed in the digestive system. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a SNEDDS of Temu Ireng extract using the SLD approach, with a focus on enhancing its antioxidant activity. The formulation involved selecting suitable oils, surfactants, and cosurfactants, followed by optimization based on solubility studies, phase diagrams, and thermodynamic stability tests. The SNEDDS was characterized for physical properties such as emulsification time, transmittance, particle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index. The optimized SNEDDS formulation exhibited excellent characteristics, including an emulsification time of less than 1 minute, near 100% transmittance, a particle size of 9.77 ± 1.33 nm, zeta potential of 0.9 ± 0.1 mV, and a polydispersity index of 0.302 ± 0.033. Antioxidant testing using the DPPH method showed that the 0.1% SNEDDS formulation of Temu Ireng extract had an inhibition concentration (IC50) value of 58.482 mg/L, indicating strong antioxidant activity. The results suggest that the SNEDDS formulation using the SLD method could be an effective strategy to enhance the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of Temu Ireng extract as an antioxidant agent.

Abstract

Hypertension is the first comorbid disease that can occur in patients with damaged kidney function. Apart from that, hypertension is a complicating disease that often occurs during the hemodialysis process.  The large variations in the use of antihypertensives in patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis therapy can affect the cost incurred by these patients. The purpose of this study was to optimize the use of the most cost-effective and pharmacological antihypertensive drugs in patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy. This research is a descriptive study with a pharmacoeconomic approach using the Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) method. The measurement indices used to analyze the data are ACER and ICER. Data collection was conducted retrospectively, taken from the medical records of inpatient hemodialysis patients by reviewing the inclusion data of patients who were eligible to be research objects. Direct medical costs were taken from the average cost of hemodialysis, other procedures, room costs and drug costs. The effectiveness of drug therapy was determined based on the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) value that met the normal value. Research data is grouped based on therapy patterns and then analyzed to obtain cost – effective therapy. The results of the study showed that the percentage effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy with Furosemide was 46%, the combination of Amlodipine and Candesartan was 69% and the combination of Furosemide, Amlodipine, and Candesartan was 56%. Based on the ACER value of Rp. 1,726,133.4, the combination of antihypertensive Amlodipine and Candesartan is the most cost-effective therapy option and based on the ICER value of Rp. -6,697,330.3, the combination of antihypertensive Amlodipine and Candesartan is also the most cost-effective therapy option.

Abstract

Orange peel is one of the main sources of essential oil. Lemon orange can also be found in an area of Jambi City, commonly referred to as local lemon, but the shape and characteristics differ slightly from common lemons. The identification results of local lemon peels indicate that these oranges are a cross between lemons and limes (Citrus medica × Citrus aurantifolia). This study aims to analyze and determine the differences in the components of the peels of lemon, local lemon, and lime using gas chromatography–mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The contribution of this research lies in providing scientific data on the chemical composition of local lemon peels, which have not been widely studied, thereby offering potential applications for the development of natural products, essential oil industries, and local biodiversity utilization. This research was conducted by extracting the peels from lemons, local lemons, and limes using acetone as a solvent. The extracts were then analyzed for their components using GC-MS. The GC-MS analysis of acetone extracts from lemon, local lemon, and lime peels revealed 19 compounds in each sample. Four compounds were found to be common across all three samples, namely 2-pentanone, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl; β-bisabolene; bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate; and 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 5,7-dimethoxy. Meanwhile, 15 other compounds showed different contents, indicating that the hybrid nature of local lemons influenced their chemical composition. These findings highlight the unique characteristics of local lemon peels and their potential as a valuable source of bioactive compounds.
