Abstract

The study evaluated the effects of ethanol extract of Anthocleista vogelii stem bark (EASB) on renal function indices and lipid profile in rats induced renal injury with CCl4. Following a completely randomized experimental design, 30 rats were randomly distributed into 6 groups (n = 5). Group 1 was the normal control, group 2 was the negative control while group 3 was the silymarin control. Groups 4 – 6 were CCl4 induced but treated with 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg EASB/day respectively. The study was conducted using appropriate methods. The results showed that the negative control had a significant (P<0.05) increase in the serum urea, creatinine, cholesterol, triacylglycerol (TAG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) concentrations, and a significant reduction in the serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentration relative to the normal control. Treatments with EASB lowered the serum creatinine, urea, and TAG concentrations when compared with the negative and silymarin controls respectively. The EASB at 100 mg/kg restored the serum HDL concentration to a normal level but 200 and 400 mg/kg EASB/day caused no significant (P>0.05) increase in the serum HDL concentrations relative to the negative control. The rats treated with EASB had elevated serum LDL and cholesterol concentrations in comparison with the negative and silymarin controls. Treatments with EASB prevented the tubular necrosis, degeneration, and infiltration of inflammatory leucocytes observed in the kidney histomorphology of the negative control. These findings suggest that EASB improves renal function and some lipid profile parameters but could cause dyslipidemia when taken in excess dose.

Abstract

Buah Merah, a typical fruit from Papua, Indonesia which is used empirically in cancer therapy is rich in carotenoids and flavonoids. However, the mechanisms by which Buah Merah ameliorates cancer remained unknown. Natural antioxidant enzymes and pro-oxidant enzymes modulation significantly suppressed ROS production and cancer growth. Therefore, the determination of target enzymes of Buah Merah contents was studied through an in silico approach. Carotenoid and flavonoid compounds from Buah Merah were docked to 7 ROS modulating enzymes using Autodock Vina and the interaction stability was studied using the CABS Flex 2.0 server. The crucial amino acids of each enzyme were determined using DockFlin and prediction of acute oral toxicity of each test ligand was studied using ProTox-II. Based on the molecular docking results, quercetin 3'-glucoside is the most potent compound in binding to CAT, GR, GPx, SOD, LOX, and NOX with binding energy values of -11.2, -9.7, -8.6, -10.2, -10.7, and -12.8 kcal/mol, respectively. Meanwhile, taxifolin 3-O-α-arabinopyranose produced the highest binding affinity of -10.0 kcal/mol at the XO. Each test ligand formed stable interactions with ROS modulating enzymes and formed bonds with crucial amino acids resulting in strong adhesion compared to native and reference ligands. The glucoside group of quercetin 3'-glucoside plays an essential role in determining the proper position in the attachment and supports the formation of hydrogen bonds with receptors. With low acute oral toxicity, it can be concluded that quercetin 3'-glucoside from Buah Merah is a potent oxidative stress modulator in cancer prevention and therapy.

Abstract

Kesum (Polygonum minus Huds) is one of the typical plants that grow in West Borneo. The Kesum leaves are the part which is mostly used. Kesum leaves contain a lot of phytochemical compounds. This study quantitatively determined the total phenolic, flavonoid, and alkaloid contents in methanol and ethanolic extract of Polygonum minus Huds leaves using a spectrophotometric method. The samples were extracted by maceration. The content was determined by using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Based on the assay result, the methanol extract contained a total of phenolic 49.351±0.430 ppmEAG (equivalent to gallic acid); total of flavonoids 44.128±0.116ppmEQ (quercetin equivalent); total of alkaloids 356,798±1,004ppmEP (piperine equivalent). The 96% ethanol extract contained total of phenol 46,196±0.329ppmEAG; total of flavonoids 34,969±0.116ppmEQ; total of alkaloids 183.525±0.766ppmEP. The 70% ethanol extract contained total of phenol 64.189+0.215ppmEAG; total of flavonoids 27.834±0.158ppmEQ; total of alkaloids 432,947±1,533ppmEP. The ethanol extract 50% contained total of phenol 67,343±0.164ppmEAG; total of flavonoids 26.063±0.158ppmEQ; total of alkaloids 679,142±2,525ppmEP. All of the results are preliminary data for further research, especially for the isolation of compounds with specific targets or for utilization as main ingredients for traditional medicine.

Abstract

The oil phase of adeps lanae was used as a basis in the ointment formulation with snakehead fish extract and kelulut honey, which influences wound healing. Adeps lanae has the potential to become rancid due to the high water content in it (25-30%). The use of oil-soluble antioxidants such as Butyl Hydroxy Toluene (BHT) can overcome the rancidity in oil. This study aimed to see how adding BHT as an antioxidant affects the ointment's stability. The ointment is prepared in three different BHT concentrations: F1 (0.0075%), F2 (0.05%), F3 (0.1%), and a control for comparison. Organoleptic tests, homogeneity, spreadability, adhesion, protection power, and acid number were used to evaluate the stability of the preparation over 28 days at 40 ± 2°C / RH 75 ± 5%. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using One Way ANOVA. The addition of BHT affected the preparation's spreadability, adhesion, and acid number but did not affect the organoleptic, homogeneity, or protective power. At F3, there is a significant difference in spreadability (5.57 ± 0.21 cm) and adhesion (89.00±2.00 seconds) based on statistical analysis. F3 is the best ointment based on the physical characteristics test results and the minimum increase in acid number (8.83 mg KOH/g).

Abstract

This study evaluated the antidiabetic properties and biochemical changes in alloxan-induced diabetic rats treated with Moringa oleifera and Morinda lucida leaf extracts. The acute toxicity values of the extracts were determined before evaluating their antidiabetic effects in 7 groups of 4 rats each. Rats in groups 1-6 were made diabetic via a single injection of alloxan monohydrate (160 mg/kg i.p). Animals whose blood glucose levels rose to 200 mg/dl and above were considered diabetic and used for the study, but group 7 was the normal control. Groups 1 and 2 received 500 and 250 mg/kg of M. oleifera extract, respectively, while groups 3 and 4 received 500 and 250 mg/kg of M. lucida extract, respectively. Group 5 received 3 mg/kg of the standard drug (Daonil), while groups 6 and 7 were the diabetic and normal control groups, respectively. Treatment lasted for 21 days and was administered orally. The phytochemical screening results showed that each of the extracts was rich in phytochemical agents. Higher amounts of flavonoids and terpenoids were found in M. oleifera, while M. lucida had higher phenols and saponins. LD50 value obtained for each extract was above 5000 mg/kg. Results of the antidiabetic study indicated that the extracts significantly brought down glucose levels in the test rats (p<0.05) when compared with the diabetic control. Treatment also restored elevated lipids values, liver function, and renal function parameters in the diabetic rats. The decreased glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities and increased lipid peroxidations resulting from diabetes mellitus induction were also significantly corrected following extracts administration when compared with the diabetic control (p<0.05). Our findings show that Moringa oleifera and Morinda lucida extracts may be safe for use in the management of diabetes mellitus and its associated biochemical complications.

Abstract

Green tea catechin compounds (Camellia sinensis L. Kuntze) have an antiviral activity such as influenza, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes simplex virus, HIV, and proven in vitro antiviral influenza against NSP5 in SARS CoV. These considerations are used in this study using Non-structural Protein (NSP), namely NSP3 and NSP5 in SARS CoV-2, which have a role in viral replication and transcription. This study aims to predict the physicochemical properties according to the five rules of Lipinski's using swissADME. Prediction of toxicity with LD50 classification using the Protox II online tool. Catechin compound activity based on ligand interaction with NSP3 (PDB ID: 6W6Y) and NSP5 (PDB ID: 6M2N) receptors using Molegro Virtual Docker (MVD) 6.0. The results showed the predictions of physicochemical properties of the (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), and (-)-epicatechin (EC) compounds fulfilled the five rules of Lipinski's. Catechin compounds have toxicity at levels 4 and 6. The activity of catechin compounds on NSP3 (PDB ID: 6W6Y) and NSP5 (PDB ID: 6M2N) receptors indicated that all catechin compounds had inhibitory activity. The best potential activity compound is (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) with a rerank score of -102.8200 and -134.1800 Kcal/mol so that EGCG can be recommended as a candidate for the SARS CoV-2 antiviral compound.

Abstract

Many people around the world believed that herbal tea had a lot of antioxidants contained in it, thus it was widely drunk all over the world. However, the antioxidant capacities of herbal tea may be various because it is affected by the usage of different plants as its primary ingredient. As a result, this study examines the antioxidant activity of herbal tea made from dried Citrus sp. and Clitoria ternatea flower petals. The antioxidant potential was assessed by performing a DPPH and H2O2 scavenging activity assay on 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging activity assay, total phenolic, and flavonoid content assay, ABTS reduction, and FRAP assay. This study showed that pure telang (Clitoria ternatea) herbal tea has antioxidant properties. Dried Telang (Clitoria ternatea) tea had the highest activity of antioxidants as we refer to the results of it had the highest activity value in DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assay and also had the lowest IC-50 value. Followed by TEMON infusion which showed the second-highest antioxidant activity after pure telang infusion. The decrease in antioxidant activity in the mixture of telang and lemon was due to the mixture of lemons which tended to have the lowest antioxidant activity among the three types of infusions tested. The addition of dried lemon has the aim of enhancing the flavor of the tea infusion.

Abstract

Etlingera elatior (E. elatior) plant has long been used as a kitchen spice and daily food. E. elatior has potential as an antioxidant because it contains polyphenol and flavonoid compounds widely found in the leaves, fruit, and flowers. This study measures the total flavonoid content, total phenol content, and antioxidant activity using the ABTS method. Total phenol content was determined by the Follin-Ciocalteu method and total flavonoid content was determined by the Aluminium Chloride method. The results showed that the total flavonoid content from the highest to the lowest value from E. elatior was fruit extract, leaf extract, and flower extract, respectively. The value of total flavonoid content was 8.38 ± 0.15; 4.86 ± 0.10; and 2.60 ± 0.04 % w/w Catechin Equivalent (CE). The total phenol content from the highest to the lowest value from E. elatior was fruit extract, leaf extract, and flower extract, respectively. The total phenolic content values were 54.48 ± 1.89, 46.20 ± 0.83, and 4.80 ± 0.53 % w/w Gallic Acid Equivalent (GAE). The highest to lowest antioxidant activity values (IC50) were leaf extract at 58.82 ppm (strong activity), fruit extract at 103.05 ppm (moderate activity), and flower extract at 251.40 (weak activity), respectively.

Abstract

Incision wounds have a fairly high prevalence in Indonesia. Chemical treatment of incision wounds has adverse side effects, therefore alternative treatment with natural ingredients is needed, namely using red fruit oil as the basic ingredient. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of red fruit oil (Pandanus conoideus­­ Lamk.) gel emulsion on the healing process of incision wounds in males both macroscopically and microscopically. This is an experimental laboratory study. The study design used was true experimental with a post-test-only control group design approach. The population consisted of 25 male mice which were divided into 5 groups, namely: (1) K- was a control group where the incision wound on the back was given a gel emulsion base; (2) K+ was the control group where the incision wound on the back was given Iodine Povidone ; (3) P1 is the treatment group where the incision wound on the back is given a 5% red fruit oil gel emulsion (F1); (4) P2 is the treatment group where the incision wound on the back is given a red fruit oil gel emulsion 10% (F2); (5) P3 was the treatment group where the incision on the back was given a 15% red fruit oil gel emulsion (F3). The treatment was given for 14 days. The data were then analyzed using the ANOVA test. The result showed that the administration of red fruit oil emulgel had a significant effect on the size of the incision wound on the 7th day (p=0.035) and the 14th day (p=0.005). Giving red fruit oil emulgel also had a significant effect on the thickness of the epithelium (p=0.000) and the number of fibroblasts (p=0.000). It can be concluded that the administration of red fruit oil emulgel affects the healing process of the incision wound both macroscopically and microscopically.
