Abstract

One of the plants used in traditional medicine is secang (Caesalpinia sappan L.). Liquid soap is now widely produced because of its practical use and better appearance. The use of anionic surfactants can cause irritation and dry skin due to strong binding of skin proteins. Cocamid DEA is used as nonionic surfactant in the liquid soap formulation to reduce the irritation caused by the anionic surfactant. The determination of optimal formula of secang wood extract liquid soap used D-optimal method by using parameter of pH test, viscosity, density and antibacterial activity. The organoleptic, pH, viscosity, density, antibacterial activity, foam stability, and physical stability of optimal formula were tested by cycling test. The ratio of sodium lauryl sulfate:cocamid DEA in optimal formula of secang wood extract liquid soap was (98.95: 1.05). The optimal formula of liquid soap has pH 4.6, viscosity 51.67 dPas, density 1.06 g / mL, antibacterial activity of Staphylococcus aureus 16.2 mm and foam stability 96.67%.

Abstract

Gentamicin can induce damage to the kidney because of the accumulation of epithelial cells in the cortex. This accumulation can cause an increase in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which in turn can trigger an increase in free radicals which causes a decrease in kidney function, which can be seen with Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and sCr (serum creatinine) parameters. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) contains several bioactive compounds, including alliin, allisin, ajoene, and allil cysteine. The content of allisin has activity as an antioxidant. This study used a nephrotoxic mouse modelling method with 100 mg/kgBW of gentamicin induction intraperitoneally, then BUN and sCr levels were checked 24 hours after the 10th day induction. This study aimed to determine the effect of garlic ethanol extract in preventing the decline of renal function in rats induced by gentamicin with a parameter of BUN and sCr. The animal test were divided into 5 treatment groups, normal control group, negative controls, and three treatment groups at a dose of 50, 120, and 300 mg/kgBW for 10 days of concurrent treatment between extracts with gentamicin. The results of the study showed that garlic ethanol extract with a dose of  50, 120, 300 mg/kgBW was able to prevent a decrease  in kidney function due to the administration of gentamicin significantly when compared with negative controls (p 0,05).

Abstract

One of the natural ingredients that to be used to inhibit bacterial growth is the Zingiber officinale. In Indonesia, there are 3 types of ginger which are distinguished by morphology, namely ‘emprit ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Amarum), ‘ gajah’ ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Officinarum), and red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum). This research was conducted to determine the activity of extracts and fractions of three ginger varieties in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus using the disc diffusion method. The test group consisted of ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction from 3 ginger varieties, concentrations of 5, 10, 20% w / v, gentamicin 10 μg (positive control) and 10% DMSO (negative control). The test results showed that ethanol extracts and fractions from the rhizomes of three varieties of ginger have the ability to inhibit S. aureus at concentrations of 5, 10, and 20% w / v, increasing the concentration will increase the diameter of the inhibition zone. At a concentration of 20% of all samples, the one with the greatest resistance was the n-hexane fraction (diameter of inhibitory zone of emprit ginger 9.80 mm, elephant ginger 9.78 mm, and red ginger 9.90 mm). The difference in ginger variety only affects the antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract, but not the n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions.

Abstract

Mangrove plants as traditional medicine have long been used by the society for the therapy of anticancer diseases. So far, the potency of mangrove plants as anticancer has not been studied intensively. The methanol extract of R. mucronata stem bark has cytotoxic activity on myeloma cells. This study aims to determine the isolates of the ethyl acetate fraction of the methanol extract of the stem bark of R. mucronata and R. apiculata, and to examine the potency of cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and T47D cells. The powder of the stem bark of R. mucronata and R. apiculata were extracted with methanol by maceration, and then the methanol extract was fractionated consecutively using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Ethyl acetate fraction was then purified by column chromatography with a diameter of 2 cm and a height of 30 cm with a static phase in the form of silica gel 60 (0.063-0.2 mm) Merck 7734 and eluent n-hexane:ethyl acetate (6: 4, 5: 5, 6: 4, 7: 3, 8: 2, 9: 1) and n-hexane: methanol (9,5: 0,5) 10 ml each. The eluates that produce the same number and pattern of stains were combined into one isolate. Then the eluate was evaporated at room temperature. Then the purification results of the extract R. mucronata were isolated using preparative TLC with 0.25 mm GF254 silica gel as static phase and n-hexane mobile phase: ethyl acetate (6: 4), while the apiculata extract with n-hexane mobile phase: ethyl acetate (5: 5). The results of the stain separation of the compound were scraped off and separated from the static phase using a solvent. The purity of isolates compound was examined using TLC in the static phase of silica gel GF254 0.25 mm. The qualitative test results of the ethyl acetate fraction of R. apiculata stem bark with an NMR spectrophotometer showed a composition of cis-3- (3,5-dihydroxyphenyl) acrylic acid, while the ethyl acetate fraction of R. mucronata stem bark contained n-hexan-3-ol compounds. The cytotoxicity test of ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction and ethanol extract was carried out on MCF-7 and T47D cells using the MTT method. The results proved that the ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction and ethanol fraction from the ethanol extract of R. mucronata and R. apiculata stem bark, based on cytotoxic activity, were inactive against MCF-7 and T47D cells.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. The World Health Organization has declared this disease a pandemic, where the scale of the spread of the disease occurs globally throughout the world. Currently, there is no validated pharmacological treatment for COVID-19 disease, and is still in the clinical trial stage. Azithromycin in conjunction with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine has been proposed as a treatment that can improve the prognosis of COVID-19. This review aims to describe the mechanism of action and effectiveness of azithromycin in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. The review of the article literature was carried out through internet searches by accessing the database from google scholar, PubMed, and science direct sites. The inclusion criteria in this review are articles using azithromycin in clinical trials and COVID-19 therapy which were published from December 2019 to October 2020. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibacterial and is based on studies having antiviral and immunomodulatory effects. The use of azithromycin can lower viral load when added to hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 patients based on small-scale clinical studies. Azithromycin used with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine has shown good results, although it raises concerns about the risk of increased side effects of prolonged QT interval so that monitoring of the heart is needed and proven in a larger number of COVID-19 patients. The decision to use azithromycin must take into account the potential benefits and risks, evaluating the possibility of the drug being more effective than the risks to the patient.

Abstract

Eritromisin adalah salah satu antibiotik golongan makrolida yang tidak larut dalam air, sehingga dibuat dalam sediaan suspensi. Untuk membuat suspensi stabil dalam penyimpanan salah satu caranya adalah dengan meningkatkan viskositas suspensi yaitu dengan penambahan suspending agent salah satunya adalah PGA (Pulvis Gummi Arabici).  Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi stabilitas fisik (volume sedimentasi, mudah tidaknya dituang, ukuran partikel, viskositas, dan redispersibilitas) dan daya anti bakteri suspensi eritromisin dengan PGA sebagai suspending agent. Suspensi dibuat 3 formula dengan perbedaan konsentrasi suspending agent (PGA). Formula I dengan konsentrasi PGA 5%, formula II konsentrasi PGA 7,5% dan formula III dengan konsentrasi PGA 10%. Uji stabilitas fisik dan daya antibakteri dianalisis dengan diuji distribusi normalnya dengan uji Kolmogorov-Smirnov yang dilanjutkan dengan uji anava dua jalan dengan taraf kepercayaan 95% dan dilanjutkan dengan t-test. Hasil uji stabilitas fisik suspensi eritromisin, formula yang paling baik adalah formula 1 dengan konsentrasi PGA 5% karena memiliki ukuran partikel yang kecil dan konstan selama penyimpanan, volume sedimentasi yang terbentuk lambat, memberikan waktu tuang dan waktu suspensi untuk terdispersi kembali, cepat. Suspensi eritromisin konsentrasi 5%; 7,5% dan 10% memberikan hasil daya hambat yang sama terhadap Staphylococcus aureus. Suspensi eritromisin konsentrasi 7,5% memberikan diameter hambat yang konstan selama penyimpanan. Kata kunci: suspensi, Eritromisin, Pulvis Gummi Arabici, Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

Fungal infections that occur in the skin and nails were caused by fungi such as Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Aloe vera contains saponins and acemannan that were effective as an antifungal. This study aims to determine the effect of carbopol concentration variation on aloe vera gel to antifungal activity of Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.Aloe vera powder was obtained from freeze drying aloe vera juice which had been frozen. Aloe vera powder was formulated in gel form using carbopol base with concentration 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; and 2.0 %w/w. The aloe vera gel was tested for its physical properties and then tested the antifungal activity using the diffusion method of wells.The result of evaluation of physical properties showed the high concentration of carbopol then pH, viscosity, adhesiveness increased, and spreading capacity decreased. The results of antifungal activity test showed that aloe vera powder had activity on Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes with inhibition zone of 15 ± 3 mm and 13 ± 0,5 mm. Aloe vera gel test results with variation of carbopol concentration 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; and 2.0 %w/w did not affect the antifungal activity of Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
