Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent cancer types, making the development of effective anticancer agents critical. Cisplatin (CIS) is a drug that has been used to treat cancer, but it also affects normal cells. Hibiscus sabdariffa L. extract (HSE), which has the potential as an anticancer agent, can be developed as a co-chemotherapy with CIS. This study aimed to determine the potential of HSE as a co-chemotherapy with CIS against HeLa cervical cancer cells and determine specific and non-specific parameters of the studied extract. Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (HS) simplicia powder was macerated with 96% ethanol. An in vitro evaluation was carried out on antiproliferative activity by calculating the doubling time. Additionally, a selectivity test was conducted to calculate combination index (CI) values based on the microtetrazolium (MTT) method. Apoptosis mechanisms were explored based on immunocytochemical methods using p53, caspase, and Bax antibodies, followed by an observation of apoptotic induction using a flow cytometer. The HSE and CIS selectivity index values obtained for Vero cells and HeLa cells were 209 and 278, respectively. The antiproliferation test results showed that the combination of HSE and CIS could better extend the doubling time of cells compared to the negative control. This combination also demonstrated a strong synergistic effect, with a CI value of 0.001. The extract as a co-chemotherapy with CIS was capable of increasing the expression of p53, caspase-3, and Bax. The flow cytometry analysis results indicated that HSE could induce apoptosis. Based on the results on the IC50 and CI value of HSE, as well as on the doubling time and apoptosis induction of HSE-influenced HeLa cells, it is concluded that HSE has the potential as a co-chemotherapy against cervical cancer.

Abstract

Pararuellia napifera (Zoll.) Bremek. & Nann.-Bremek. (Gempur Batu) is a wild plant that can thrive in tropical areas and is traditionally used to treat nephrolithiasis. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the morphological, anatomical, and secondary metabolite profiles of P. napifera that grow at different altitudes. This study was conducted using a purposive sampling survey method in the lowlands (<400 m.a.s.l) and highlands (>800 m.a.s.l) in Banyumas, Central Java. The results show that P. napifera at both altitudes has a shrub habitus with fibrous roots, creeping round stems, alternated simple leaves, verticillaster compound flowers, and oval-shaped fruits (foliculus) with blackish-brown color flattened round seeds. P. napifera in lowland regions exhibit greater morphological characteristics compared to those in highland areas, with an average height of 18.5 cm in contrast to 12.64 cm. The habitus of P. napifera in lowland regions also indicates larger stem diameters and leaf sizes. Anatomical analysis of the roots stems, and leaves of P. napifera from both lowland and highland regions reveals a consistent tissue arrangement, although differences are observed in the structure of the transport tissues. Meanwhile, the result of phytochemical screening shows that the roots and leaves extracts contain flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, and saponins.

Abstract

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) characterized by fat accumulation and transformation, inflammation, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and necrotic cell remnants in the tunica intima of blood vessels. Basil leaves are known to contain active biochemical compounds that have the potential to reduce lipids. This is an experimental study that investigated the effect of basil leaves on rat triglyceride levels in atherosclerotic models. This research consisted of five groups of rats that were induced atherosclerosis by partial carotid ligation and a high-fat diet for 7 days. The treatment group was given basil leaves extract ethanol with 100 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW dose, and simvastatin 1,5mg/rat/day. Examination of triglyceride levels by enzymatic calorimetry GPO-PAP method using Micro Lab 300. The data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Post Hoc Bonferroni. The results showed that there was an average decrease in triglyceride levels in rats given basil leaves extract with 100 mg/kg BW dose and indicated that the Ocimum basilicum leaves extract affected triglyceride levels in rats induced by atherosclerosis.

Abstract

Strobilanthes crispa known as keji beling in Indonesia, belong to the Acanthaceae family. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) fingerprint pattern analysis is an excellent technique for evaluating and controlling the quality of raw materials containing Strobilanthes crispa. TLC fingerprints can be used to analyze the fingerprint profiles of medicinal plants for identification, authentication, and discrimination from related plants. This study aimed to develop a TLC fingerprint analysis method to identify S. crispa for quality control. Eleven bands were effectively separated using a silica gel 60 F254 TLC plate with a mobile phase of dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and chloroform at 16:3.2:0.8. The derivatization reagent used to detect the separated bands was 10% sulfuric acid at a wavelength of 366 nm. Validation of the TLC fingerprint analysis, which evaluated the robustness, stability, specificity, and precision, met these requirements. S. crispa can be distinguished by its TLC fingerprint from sirih hutan (Piper aduncum), a related plant with similar leaf morphology. This approach could be used to identify and authenticate of S. crispa from P. aduncum.

Abstract

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the colon, characterized by recurrent episodes and involving multifaceted etiological factors in its pathogenesis. This study aims to explore the pharmacological effect of Morinda citrifolia Linn. fruit ethanolic-extract (MFE) in UC. The UC mice model was induced using 2% acetic acid administered per-rectal. Subsequently, mice were categorized into six groups, comprising a normal control, negative control, positive control, and three MFE treatment groups (100mg/kgBW; 200mg/kgBW; 400mg/kgBW). Colitis severity was assessed by scoring system to obtain the Disease Activity Index (DAI) and Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay was employed to determine the free radical scavenging activity. MFE exhibited notable antioxidant activity, with an IC50 value of 0,553 mg/ml. Notably, MFE administration led to a discernible reduction in DAI scores, with MFE treatment demonstrating improved inflammation condition compared to the negative control from day 6 through day 11. Furthermore, immune cell infiltration within colonic tissue was markedly attenuated in the MFE-treated group compared to the negative control group. Evaluation of colon tissue damage revealed scores of 5.7, 4.2, and 3 for MFE doses of 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg, respectively, whereas the positive control group exhibited a score of 3, indicating superior tissue preservation. Notably, these scores contrasted starkly with the negative control group, which registered a damage score of 11.8. These findings exhibit the MFE potential as a therapeutic intervention for UC owing to its pharmacological properties, underscoring its potential as a natural remedy in UC management.

Abstract

In 2022, children in Indonesia experienced acute renal failure due to antipyretic syrup contaminated with diethylene glycol (DEG). DEG is a known contaminant in pharmaceutical solvents that can induce inflammation and act as a free radical, leading to kidney and liver damage. Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) has been reported to have nephroprotective and hepatoprotective effects due to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This study aims to evaluate the protective effects of turmeric ethanol extract on rat kidneys and liver subjected to DEG toxicity. Rats were divided into five groups (n=5 per group): Group I served as the normal control, while Group II received DEG orally at 3 g/kg BW twice daily for three days. Groups III, IV, and V were treated with DEG (3 g/kg BW) along with turmeric ethanol extract at a doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW, respectively, administered orally twice daily for six days. After 14 days, all rats were sacrificed for macroscopic and microscopic evaluation using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. The results showed that rats treated with turmeric extract exhibited significantly significantly less kidney and liver damage (p<0.05). Kidney protection was evidenced by improvements in endothelial tissue, glomeruli, and tubules, while liver protection was indicated by reduced Kupffer cell activation, sinusoidal dilatation, hepatocyte degeneration, and necrosis. In conclusion, turmeric ethanol extract effectively protects against DEG-induced kidney and liver toxicity in rats.

Abstract

This study focused on the secondary metabolite characterization and radical scavenging activity of the chloroform (CF), ethyl acetate (EF), and aqueous fractions (AF) of Ziziphus spina-christi to ascertain its therapeutic potential against oxidative stress. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) characterization and determination of in vitro radical scavenging activity of the plant were carried out. Alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids were present in all the fractions with steroids absent in the AF. The FTIR characterization detected alcohol, conjugated alkenes, and amine groups in the CF and EF. However, alkanes, aromatic amines, sulfonates, and monosubstituted alkanes were also detected in the latter. Moreover, carboxylic acid, alkane, alkene, amines, and phenols were identified in the AF. The EF (72.46 ± 0.55 µg/ml AAE) and AF (71.51± 0.46 µg/ml AAE) demonstrated a significantly (p < 0.05) higher total antioxidant capacity (TAC) than CF (50.33 ±0.27 µg/ml AAE). The AF (54.07 ± 0.97 µg/ml AAE) exhibited a significantly (p < 0.05) higher total reducing power (TRP) than the EF (42.76 ± 1.60 µg/ml AAE) and CF (30.13 ± 1.32 µg/ml AAE). A significantly (p < 0.05) higher percentage of lipid peroxidation inhibition was exhibited by the CF (71.25% ±3.41) compared to the EF (54.17% ±2.66). Moreover, all the fractions showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher inhibition than ascorbic acid (18.33% ±1.56). The CF (0.16 ±0.01 nmol/ml) and EF (0.21 ±0.01 nmol/ml) demonstrated a significantly (p < 0.05) lower MDA concentration than the AF (0.42 ±0.01 nmol/ml) and ascorbic acid (0.38 ±0.02 nmol/ml). Conclusively, the Z. spina rootbark has potential antioxidant application in oxidative stress therapy with a focus on anti-lipid peroxidation for the CF though the AF has better TAC and TRP.

Abstract

The traditional use of faloak (Sterculia quadrifida R. Br.) stem bark as an effective treatment for various diseases has led to its widespread cultivation and collection. Therefore, this study aims to determine the correlation between the intensity and color variation of faloak stem bark with its antioxidant activity and phytochemical content using chemometrics analysis. The study procedures were carried out by collecting samples from different locations in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Stem bark intensity and color variations were then associated with chemical profiles of extract produced. Chemical profiles analyzed were Total Phenolic Content (TPC), Total Flavonoid Content (TFC), and antioxidant activity as measured using the DPPH, b-carotene bleaching, and CUPRAC methods. Subsequently, the data were subjected to multivariate statistical analyses utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis (CA). The results showed that color variations on faloak stem bark had no significant impact on cluster formation. CA and PCA showed grouping according to gray value representing color intensity. Meanwhile, PCA revealed significant correlations between gray value of faloak stem bark extract and TPC, antioxidant activity, and extract yield, with TFC having no association. Based on these results, color detection system could be developed to facilitate S. quadrafida bark collection as herbal medicine raw materials in the field.

Abstract

Burns are a condition that is often found in the world in various cases such as accidents. The incidence of burns will probably increase as human activities become more complex. Wounds that are not treated immediately tend to become infected and cause death. Fish oil is one of the ingredients that has been studied for wound healing. Previous research shows that fish oil is rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, which have anti-inflammatory effects. However, there has not been much research on the type of fish oil used and the wound healing process. The aim of this study was to determine the wound-healing activity of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal.), patin (Pangasius djambal), and eel (Anguilla bicolor) fish oil. Tests were carried out on 25 mice as an experimental animal model for burn wounds. Data on percent wound reduction and the re-epithelialization process were statistically calculated using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a post-hoc LSD test. The research results showed that milkfish oil, patin fish oil, and eel fish oil in a concentration of 10% on an ointment basis were able to reduce wounds significantly. Eel fish oil shows the greatest burn wound healing process with re-epithelialization when compared to other oils. The type of fish oil affects the wound healing process.

Abstract

Mentha suaveolens subsp. timija is an aromatic herb with a spearmint flavor that plays an important role in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. It has various biological activities, including serving as a natural source of antioxidants and antibacterial agents. The main objective of the present study was to identify biologically active polyphenols and assess the antioxidant capacity of Mentha suaveolens subsp. timija leaves and stems using various organic solvents (hexane, ethanol, methanol) and distilled water for extraction. The antioxidant activity was determined using the ABTS, DPPH, and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) free radical scavenging methods. Results revealed that the total flavonoid and phenolic content ranged from 0.3 to 14.47 mg QE/g and 0.3 to 10.86 mg QE/g, respectively, and from 1.47 to 35.34 mg GAE/g and 1.43 to 37.1 mg GAE/g for leaves and stems, respectively. The extracts exhibited significant antioxidant activity in ABTS, DPPH, and TAC assays, which increased with higher concentrations of polyphenol extracts (P ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, the plant extracts examined in this study displayed remarkable antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria, with leaf extracts showing better antibacterial activity than stem extracts.
