Core Subject : Science, Education,
Current Biochemistry (CB) publishes the results of original research that contribute significantly to the understanding of the chemical compound and reaction that occur within living organism. Preference will be accorded to manuscripts that develop new concepts or experimantal approaches, particularly in the advancing areas of biochemistry science. Manuscripts that are primarily theoretical in nature or in the field of bioinformatics must be directed toward explaining important results previously not understood, making important predictions that can be experimentally tested, or developing segnificant advances in theory of general interest to biochemists. Submission of manuscripts in emerging areas in biochemistry, chemical biology, biophysics, proteomics, model studies and structures, cellular and molecular biology, computational biochemistry, biotechnology, and new methods development is encouraged especially if they address basic biochemical mechanisms.

Abstract

Red ginger (Zingiber officinale Roxb. var. Rubrum) contains phenolic compounds that have potential to reduce blood glucose levels (antihyperglycemic) in patients with diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to determine the inhibitory activity toward α-glucosidase, antioxidant activity in reducing DPPH free radicals, and total phenolic content of aqueous extract of red ginger. The red ginger was extracted using water solvent at 100 oC for 15 minutes. Analysis of antioxidant activity, inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase, and total phenolic content using the spectrofotometry. Antioxidant activity showed that the extracts from the first, second and third replicates were not significantly different (p<0.05). α-glucosidase inhibition activity showed that the 1st replicate extract had the highest value of 97.729% and was significantly different (p<0.05) from the 2nd and 3rd replicate extracts and acarbose. The total phenolic content showed that the 2nd replicate extract had the highest value, namely 27,624 mg GAE/g extract and was significantly different (p<0.05) from the 1st and 3rd replicate extracts. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd replicates of red ginger aqueous extract has the same antioxidant activity and equivalent glucosidase inhibitory activity as acarbose.

Abstract

Diabetic patients are susceptible to severe wound conditions due to high blood sugar levels and bacterial infections. This study aims to determine the formulation and effectiveness of the hydrogel plaster combination of laying hen eggshells with button mushrooms in curing diabetic wounds. The research methods consisted of making the hydrogel, coagulation test, and antibacterial tests. Hydrogels were made with 5%, 10%, and 20% eggshell concentrations. The coagulation activity test used rabbit blood, which was added with glucose. Antibacterial test was performed using Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). This research shows that the coagulation activity of F2 and F3 formulations significantly differed from the control, with an average blood clotting time of 64.67 minutes and 63.00 minutes. The antibacterial test results produced a clear zone for S. aureus and E. coli with diameters of 10.27 mm and 9.18 mm for F2, 6.90 mm, and 11.66 mm for F3. This research concludes that hydrogel formulation 3, with 20% eggshell and 6.4% button mushroom, had the best blood clotting effect and antibacterial activity.

Abstract

Formulasi minuman fungsional ekstrak sirih merah dengan penambahan berbagai ekstrak rempah telah diteliti memiliki aktivitas antioksidan, namun hasil penerimaan konsumen masih rendah pada uji sensori karena rasanya pahit. Teknologi mikroenkpasulasi dan nanoenkapsulasi diketahui dapat melindungi komponen bioaktif dan dapat meningkatkan kualitas sensori pangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan minuman fungsional berdasarkan ekstrak daun sirih merah menggunakan teknik mikroenkapsulasi dan nanoenkapsulasi dengan membandingkan ukuran partikel, kadar fenol, aktivitas antioksidan dan sensori dengan minuman ready to drink (RTD). Maltodekstrin 10% digunakan sebagai penyalut pada pembuatan minuman mikroenkapsulasi, sedangkan gum arab dan maltodekstrin digunakan untuk penyalut pada minuman nanoenkapsulasi. Ukuran partikel diuji menggunakan metode Particle Size Analyzer (PSA), total fenolik diuji dengan metode Folin- Ciocalteu, aktivitas antioksidan diuji dengan metode DPPH, dan evaluasi sensori diuji dengan tingkat hedonik (kesukaan). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa minuman fungsional minuman nanoenkapsulasi memiliki rata-rata ukuran partikel paling kecil yaitu sebesar 107,9 nm. Kandungan fenolik tertinggi pada minuman RTD sebesar (782,30 ± 2,54 mg GAE / g). Aktivitas antioksidan tertinggi terdapat dalam minuman mikroenkapsulasi yaitu (107,54 ± 0,83 μg / mL). Minuman fungsional nanoenkapsulasi memberikan tingkat hedonik (2,73 ± 1,19) yang lebih disukai dibandingkan minuman mikroenkapsulasi dan RTD. Teknik mikroenkapsulasi dapat meningkatkan aktivitas antioksidan dan teknik nanoenkapsulasi dapat menurunkan aktivitas antioksidan.

Abstract

One disease that correlates with blood glucose levels is diabetes mellitus (DM). According to Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS), in Indonesia by 2030 there will be an increase of up to 21.3 million people suffering from diabetes mellitus. However, nowadays most people are afraid of the side effects of using the drugs they consume and are turning to herbal therapy to lower blood glucose levels. Bay leaves have the benefit of treating diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diarrhea and gastritis. Phytochemical analysis shows that bay leaves contain essential oils, tannins, flavonoids and terpenoids. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of bay leaf boiled water on reducing blood glucose levels. The research was an experimental One Group Pretest Post-test Design, namely the research subjects had their blood glucose levels measured before (pre-test) and after being given bay leaf boiled water (post-test). 41 respondents in Paok Motong Barat village, Masbagik District, East Lombok Regency had their Blood Glucose Levels (GDS) measured before (pre-test) and after (post-test) giving 300 mL of bay leaf boiled water. Paired Test Statistical Analysis was used to determine the difference in pretest and posttest blood glucose levels given bay leaf boiled water. The results of the study showed that there was a significant decrease in blood glucose levels (p= 0.001) by 15.22 mg/dL to 179.27 mg/dL before administering bay leaf decoction amounting to 194.49 mg/dL. The conclusion is that there is a significant effect (p=0.001) of giving boiled bay leaves on reducing blood glucose levels. The suggestion for this research is to increase the number of respondents in the research as well as examination variables such as fasting blood glucose

Abstract

Moringa leaves flavonoid have potential to inhibit α-glucosidase but they have low bioavailability, so they are made in nanoparticles. It is also not known which specific flavonoid compounds from Moringa leaves have the potential to inhibit α-glucosidase. This research aimed to determine the inhibition potential of α-glucosidase by the moringa leaves flavonoid in silico through molecular docking and determine the inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase by moringa leaves flavonoid in extracts and nanoparticles in vitro. Moringa leaves flavonoid have potential to be a competitive inhibiton of α-glucosidase with the highest to lowest inhibitory potential are cryptochlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, kaempferol-3-O-a-ramnoside, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, epicathechins, catechins, quercetin, kaempferol, glucomoringin isothiocyanate. Cryptochlorogenic acid has the best potential with ΔG and Ki values -8.5 kcal/mol and 0.5788 μM. Inhibition α-glucosidase moringa leaves flavonoid in extract and nanoparticles respectively are classified as inactive (IC 50 = 5.84x10 3 ppm) and active (IC 50 = 1.59x10 1 ppm) in vitro, so nanoparticles can increase the inhibitory activity.
