Abstract

Excessive UV exposure can cause various skin disorders, so protection from UV rays is needed by using sunscreen. One of the plants that have the potential as a sunscreen is buas-buas leaf (Premna serratifolia Linn.) which contains flavonoid compounds. Sunscreen formulated in lotion form is the most common preparation found in the market. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physical characteristics of lotion preparations and to determine the potential of lotion of buas-buas leaf extract as a sunscreen. Buas-buas leaf extract was obtained through maceration extraction with 96% ethanol solvent. Lotion with the active substance of buas-buas leaf extract was made with concentration variations of 1, 2, and 3%. Evaluation of the physical characteristics of the lotion was tested with organoleptic observation parameters, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, and adhesion. Then, it was tested for sunscreen potential using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Data were analyzed with SPSS Statistics 22 software, namely the One Way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) test. The results of the study were the three lotion formulas of buas-buas leaf extract met all the requirements of the physical characteristics evaluation test. The SPF value of F1 (1%) is 7.12 (extra protection), F2 (2%) is 9.54 (maximum protection) and F3 (3%) is 15.68 (ultra protection). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the lotion of buas-buas leaf extract meets the requirements of evaluating the physical characteristics of lotions and has activity as a sunscreen.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disorder of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism caused by impaired insulin secretion, insulin action, or both characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemic condition is associated with inflammation process leading to complications. Food supplements play an important role in controlling protein metabolism and have anti-inflammatory properties such as Channa micropeltes (CM). This study aimed to analyze the effect of CM extract on the levels of molecular markers Nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) and Tumor Necrosis Factor alfa (TNF-α) in normal and diabetic rats. The experimental design of this investigation was a post-test-only control group design and the samples were the diabetic model group given CM extract at 16 mL/kgBB dose, and negative control group for 14 days, respectively. Serum concentrations of    NF-κB and TNF-α were measured by ELISA. DM-CM group showed decreasing levels of NF-κB. TNF- α was detected with the lowest level in the N-CM group. The levels of TNF- α declined close to normal levels in the DM-CM group. Hence, the conclusion was the CM at a dose of 16 mL/kg BW for 14 days in Wistar rats can reduce Nf-κB and TNF-α in groups of normal and diabetic rats.

Abstract

Chrysanthemum flowers (Chrysanthemum indicum L.) have been shown to contain flavonoid compounds and exert antioxidant activity. This brings Chrysanthemum indicum potential to be developed as a nutraceutical product. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity of Chrysanthemum flowers before and after the formulation of Chrysanthemum indicum flower extract as a gummy candy. Gummy candy formulas were developed using variations of gelatin and pectin as gelling agents. In this study, Chrysanthemum flower extract was formulated into gummy candy. The physical characteristics evaluated include organoleptic tests, weight uniformity, elasticity, and moisture content. Optimization was performed using the simplex lattice design (SLD) method with the aid of the Design Expert software Ver. 13. The antioxidant activity of the chrysanthemum flower extract and gummy candy extract was evaluated using the DPPH radical scavenging method. Ascorbic acid was used as a positive control. The optimum formula for preparing the gummy candy was 11.51% of gelatin and 1.24% of pectin. The evaluation of weight uniformity, elasticity, and moisture content suggested that there is no significant difference between the optimum formula and the predicted value. Both the chrysanthemum flower extract and chrysanthemum flower gummy candy had strong antioxidant activity. The IC50 value of the extract was 67.80 ± 2.37 mg/mL while the gummy candy IC50 value was 82.93 ± 2.55 mg/mL. The antioxidant activity of Chrysanthemum indicum was slightly decreased after being formulated into gummy candy. These studies suggested that scientists are expected to anticipate the decrease of Chrysanthemum antioxidant activity in the gummy manufacturing process.

Abstract

Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which exhibits properties that promote hair growth. Microemulsion is an oil and water dispersion system with a particle size of 10-200 nm which can be used topically as a drug delivery system through the scalp to stimulate hair growth. The microemulsion was made with olive oil and tween 80 as surfactants and stirred using a magnetic stirrer at 1000 rpm for 3 minutes. The ethanol extract of cayenne pepper was prepared in microemulsions at three different concentrations: 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%. Microemulsion tests included organoleptic tests, specific gravity, pH, viscosity, freezing and thawing stability tests, and hair growth activity tests on rabbits. The results showed that the microemulsion of cayenne pepper ethanol extract at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% was quite stable with a clear appearance and a particle size ranging from 27.7 nm to 167.8 nm. The microemulsion of cayenne pepper ethanol extract at a concentration of 0.2% was the most effective in enhancing hair growth, achieving a hair growth length of 1.27 over a 30-day period. A two-way ANOVA statistical test showed that the hair length of rabbits using microemulsion was significantly different from the hair length of negative control animals at p<0.05.

Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune cell-mediated inflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 125 million people worldwide. Turmeric has been long known for its potent anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, in silico studies were used to evaluate the efficacy of isolated phytochemicals from turmeric in the treatment of psoriasis. One hundred and fifteen phytochemicals from this plant and two standard medications (Flurandrenolide and Triamcinolone), active ingredients used in some topical steroid creams were evaluated for their inhibitory properties against Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and Inducible NOS (iNOS) receptor using a computer-aided drug design approach. The binding scores and inhibitory efficiencies were obtained via virtual screening. ADMET SAR-2 website was used to conduct the Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity (ADMET) analysis, the Molinspiration and SwissADME tools were used to investigate the drug-likeness characteristics and oral bioavailability of the selected compounds respectively. Other analyses of the selected compounds include bioactivity, activity spectra for substances (PASS) prediction, binding mode, and molecular interaction. The results revealed that Bisabolone (−9.3 kcal/mol), Curcumanolide B (−8.6 kcal/mol), (E)-sesquisabinene hydrate (−8.5 kcal/mol), and procurcumadiol (−8.3 kcal/mol) are potential inhibitors of iNOS receptor, while hop-17(21)-en-3-ol (7.6 kcal/mol) is a potential inhibitor of IL-17A receptor. These compounds have better ADMET properties, binding affinities, drug-likeness, PASS properties, bioactivities, oral bioavailability, good binding mechanism, and interactions with the active site of the target receptor when compared with Flurandrenolide and Triamcinolone. As a result, this preliminary investigation suggests that these phytochemicals should be studied further to design novel psoriasis therapeutics.

Abstract

Secondary metabolites in the medicinal plant Gynura procumbens have various beneficial pharmacological activities. However, the limited availability of these beneficial compounds has constrained the possibilities for therapeutic applications. Exogenously applied methyl jasmonate (MeJa) as an elicitor has been reported to trigger the accumulation of secondary metabolites in plant tissues cultured in vitro. This study aimed to assess how varying periods of MeJa elicitation affect the growth and accumulation of phenolic and flavonoid compounds in adventitious root cultures of G. procumbens within a balloon-type bubble bioreactor (BTBB). Adventitious roots were induced from leaf and stem explants obtained from established in vitro shoots. Upon transfer to the BTBB, the cultures were supplemented with 100 µM MeJa and sampled at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks. The results revealed that including MeJa in the culture medium significantly boosted growth and the accumulation of phenolic and flavonoid compounds in G. procumbens. The highest biomass and concentrations of phenolic and flavonoid compounds were observed after 3 weeks of elicitation. These findings highlight the potential of MeJa elicitation for enhancing the production of valuable bioactive compounds in G. procumbens adventitious root cultures, showcasing its utility for industrial applications.

Abstract

Nauclea pobeguinii is a plant in the Rubiaceae family endemic to the swamp forest region of the world. Its extract is widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of a wide variety of ailments such as malarial, Jaundice, gonorrhea, fever, and stomach discomfort. While other parts of the plant have been examined for the bioactive principles responsible for the medicinal properties, limited information is available in the literature as regards the leaves, hence this study. N. pobeguinii leaves were collected, air-dried, and pulverized. The pulverized sample was extracted with solvents (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol) of varying polarity to obtain the crude extracts. Repeated column and thin layer chromatographic separation of the crude extracts afforded three compounds, which were characterized by their IR, 1H, 13C-NMR, and 2D-NMR spectral data. A comparison of the data with literature confirmed the compounds to be 2-hydroxylstigmastane acetate (1), Ergosta-5,6-epoxy-22-en-3-yl-acetate (2), and β-sitosterol (3). Compounds 1 and 2 are novel to N. pobeguinii.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effects of Acioa barteri extract (ABE) on hepatocellular enzyme activity, hepatic function, and antioxidant stress indices in diabetic rats induced with alloxan. The antidiabetic effect of ABE was evaluated in six experimental groups: normal controls, diabetics untreated, diabetics treated with 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg, or 800 mg/kg ABE, and diabetics treated with 3 mg/kg Glibenclamide. ABE was orally administered to induce diabetes, and alloxan-monohydrate was intraperitoneally administered. Diabetic untreated rats exhibited significantly elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase, aspartate, and alanine transaminase activities, as well as higher concentrations of total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, and malondialdehyde. They also showed decreased levels of total protein, albumin, globulin, and protein-bound iodine, along with reduced antioxidant enzyme activity. In contrast, diabetic rats administered ABE demonstrated reduced hepatocellular enzyme activity and improved hepatic function. These rats exhibited increased levels of total protein, globulin, and albumin, as well as higher levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activities, compared to diabetic untreated rats. The findings suggest that ABE may help prevent oxidative stress and improve hepatic functions in diabetic rats. ABE treatment led to decreased hepatocellular enzyme activity and improved hepatic function, along with increased antioxidant enzyme activities. These results highlight the potential of ABE as a therapeutic option for diabetes-induced liver dysfunction. Further research is warranted to explore its mechanisms of action and potential clinical applications.

Abstract

In recent years, the search for new anticancer drugs from local plants in Indonesia has become an interesting topic for research. One of the typical Indonesian local plants that have been used by the community as an anticancer traditional medicine (jamu) is Spatholobus littoralis Hassk (SLH) or better known as Bajakah. The native Dayak people of Kalimantan have used it for years for the treatment of breast cancer. In this study, the separation of single compounds from the ethyl acetate fraction of SLH stems was carried out, their molecular structure was analyzed, and anticancer bioactivity was tested. The isolation used the preparative HPLC method. The elucidation of the isolates from the ethyl acetat fraction used LCMS-MS, FTIR, and NMR. Anticancer bioactivity was determined using the MTT bioassay. The result is the acquisition of two isolates; it has been predicted that both are pseudobaptinin. The anticancer IC50 of the pseudobaptinin was 62.85 ppm, and Pseudobaptinin with impurities was 145.60 ppm.
