Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe and high costs health problem all over the world. To date, there is no therapy capable of curing AD, making drug discovery a challenging and intriguing field to explore. Targeting marine natural products (MNPs) as a source of drug leads is a suitable choice considering the content of bioactive compounds and promising pharmacological benefits. This article aims to look at MNPs with prospects in several prime targets in AD pathology to cure AD. Marine vertebrates (fishes), marine invertebrates (sponges, tunicates, ascidian, clams, scallops, sand dollars, crabs, cockle, sea cucumber, shrimp, bryozoa, marine worm), algae/seaweed, and marine microorganisms (marine fungi, bacterium, dinoflagellata, microalgae) can be potentially used as disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for AD. By targeting multiple aspects of AD pathology, these MNPs offer a multifaceted approach to treating and potentially modifying the disease course. This result is an intriguing gap for researchers in the discovery and development of new drugs that can improve AD pathology.

Abstract

Propolis is a bee product that can be used as an anti-inflammatory. Cultivation of propolis-producing bees is also carried out in North Lombok. However, propolis has not been utilized optimally by the people of North Lombok. Apart from that, testing of North Lombok propolis is still limited to the chemical content and antioxidant activity of propolis extracted with ethanol solvent. Therefore, this study aims to determine the activity and effective concentration of North Lombok propolis water extract as an anti-inflammatory using the red blood cell membrane stability method. Groups include control groups such as positive control (diclofenac sodium), negative control (distilled water), and test groups (propolis water extract concentrations of 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, 20%, 22.5%, 25%, 27.5%, and 30%). In The first step human blood was centrifuged of human blood, and then part of the red blood cells (sediment) was taken and saline was added to obtain a red blood cell suspension. Next, mixing the test solution was carried out in the order of 0.5 ml of red blood cell suspension, then 0.5 ml of extract was added (0.1% w/v Na-diclofenac solution in the positive control, distilled water in the negative control), 1 mL of buffer solution and 2 mL of hyposaline solution, then homogenized. Each group was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes, then centrifuged for 10 minutes at 3000 rpm. The supernatant was taken, and the absorbance was read with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at 560 nm. Next, the percentage value of red blood cell hemolysis protection was calculated. The data obtained were tested statistically using One-way ANOVA and post-hoc (LSD) tests SPSS version 29. The results showed that propolis water extract concentrations were 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, 20%, 22.5%, 25%, 27.5%, and 30% have anti-inflammatory activity because they can increase the stability of the red blood cell membrane with a percentage of hemolysis protection of respectively 57.92%, 59.99%, 60.99%, 61.99%, 64.31%, 69.59%, 75.07%, 79.77% and 84.45%. Propolis water extract concentrations of 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, 20%, 22.5%, and 25% had anti-inflammatory effects that were not significantly different from the positive control (p>0.05). The 27.5 % and 30% concentrations had a higher percent hemolysis protection value than the positive control (p<0.05).

Abstract

The medicinal herb Vernonia hymenolepis has been used to cure a wide range of ailments such as cancer, gonorrhea, stomach ache, malaria, hepatitis, pneumonia, toothache, diarrhea, amoebiasis, typhoid, hypertension, and constipation by diverse societies in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. However, its biological and phytochemical data is extremely insufficient. Thus, the aim of this research work was to study the chemical constituents and antimicrobial activity of the root part of this plant. The roots of plant were dried by air under shade and then successively extracted with chloroform and methanol. The chloroform root extract was subjected to silica gel column chromatographic separation which gave two compounds, namely; betulinic acid (1) and 2-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid (2). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques and by comparing with literature reports. The crude extracts were assayed in vitro employing disc diffusion technique against four bacterial strains (Bacillus subtilis ATCC11778, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, Escherichia coli ATCC25922, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853) and one fungal strain (Candida albicans ATCC 10231). Significant antibacterial activity was demonstrated by the crude extracts; with the chloroform extract exhibiting greater activity against Escherichia coli (18 mm) when compared to gentamicin (25 mm). The methanol extract revealed the highest activity (13 mm) against Candida albicans with the reference drug, clotrimazole showing an inhibition zone of 12 mm. The antimicrobial activity exhibited by root extracts of V. hymenolepis corroborates its traditional use against bacterial diseases.
