Abstract

The ancient records about herbal medicine show traditional healing practices are deeply rooted in Indonesian culture. The medical use of plants decreased because of inheritance customs combined with the lack of written documentation on medicinal plants but dependent on oral information transmission. Traditional research and preservation activities of local healing plants which belong to specific cultural communities become possible through this phenomenon. Researchers conducted ethnopharmacological research about antidiarrheal medicinal plant uses that included traditional knowledge about flavonoid-containing plants within the Osing ethnic group of West Java Indonesia. The goal of this research was to verify flavonoid compounds in Osing's medicinal plants through Near Infra-Red (NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods. The evaluation of antidiarrheal potential for these compounds relied on flavonoid standard reference substances because these compounds demonstrate strong antioxidant properties which stabilize intestinal functioning. Chemometric techniques together with Near Infra-Red spectroscopy (NIR) were applied to analyze krangean leaves (Litsea cubeba) in order to establish their flavonoid compound levels. The quality assessment of multivariate calibration models shows that PLS regression produces RMSEC of 2.870 and RMSEP of 0.0124 with R2cal = 0.9931 and R2val = 0.9919. The analysis using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) succeeded in its completion with recognition rates above 90% for each discriminating class.

Abstract

Candida albicans is a commensal microorganism that is commonly found as a normal flora in the body. However, impaired immune conditions can cause this fungus to turn into a pathogen. This Microorganism is one of the causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. The use of antiseptics is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of fungal infections. Moringa oleifera is a plant that is often found in Asia and Africa, has various bioactive components that have the potential to be antiseptic. Until now, there has been no research on the antiseptic potential of M. oleifera against C. albicans. Therefore the study was conducted to test the activity of Moringa leaf extract (Moringa oleifera) as an antiseptic against C. albicans. This experiment was conducted using the percentage kill method to determine the potential activity of the extract as an antiseptic against C. albicans The comparison of bacterial colony growth on the control and the treatment that grew on solid media was calculated according to the set contact time of 1, 2, and 5 minutes. The effectiveness of antiseptics is assessed by calculating according to the percentage kill principle. The results of the calculation of C. albicans colonies in contact time for 1, 2, and 5 minutes were 62.39%, 80.85%, and 90%, respectively. This finding shows that the contact time of 5 minutes has good effectiveness. Therefore M. oleifera leaves have the potential to be an effective antiseptic against C. albicans.

Abstract

Aging is a normal process experienced by humans. One of the causes of aging is the body's intrinsic activity, such as the activity of one of the extracellular matrix-breaking enzymes, collagenase. Demand for skin care to prevent aging is increasing, especially plant-based skin care. This study aims to explore the potency of celery extract as an anti-collagenase. In this study, we used celery extract as a sample obtained from the maceration process by seventy percent ethanol 70% as the solvent. Sample compounds are then detected by LC-HRMS to determine the major compounds contained in a sample and their concentrations. Anti-collagenase activity was observed by enzymatic assay. The LC-HRMS analysis confirmed that apigenin, hispidulin, and catechin were included in the celery extract, with apigenin as the major compound of celery with AUC 73479.21×103, the AUC of hispidulin is 17063.21×103, and catechin 61.14×103. The percentage of collagenase inhibition of celery extract up until 200 μg/mL was 59.22% with an IC50 value of 132.48 µg/mL. These data indicated that celery containing apigenin, hispidulin, and catechin has an anti-collagenase activity worth further exploring for a healthy skin supplement.

Abstract

Peronema canescens Jack is a species of tropical plant utilized for its empirical applications, such as an antipyretic, antimalarial, immune stimulant, cold medicine, and mouthwash for its antiseptic properties. The objective of this study was to identify differences in the metabolite composition of P. canescens Jack leaves at different geographical locations. The metabolite profile was examined by thin-layer chromatography densitometry. The samples were collected from 10 distinct locations at varying elevations, with each location being sourced from three separate plants. Fingerprint metabolomics employs chemometric techniques such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA). The PCA analysis resulted in PC1 value of 41% and PC2 value of 32.6%, and these findings indicate the importance of considering the geographical locations where leaves are collected, as they reveal regional differences in the metabolism of P. canescens Jack secondary metabolites. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) classified P. canescens Jack into four distinct clusters based on the closeness of their metabolite profiles. TLC is useful for the quality control of P. canescens Jack leaves based on variation geographical and authentication.

Abstract

The use of medicinal plants in modern medicine is on the rise, particularly in addressing diabetes and its associated complications, such as persistent inflammatory wounds. Plantago major L. (P. major) is known for its rich distribution of bioactive compounds and its efficacy in treating diabetes, wound healing, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Before in vitro drug efficacy testing, it is essential to assess the toxicity of P. major extract. This study aims to evaluate the toxicity of P. major extracts on RAW 264.7 cells cultured in high-glucose DMEM media. This preliminary assessment is crucial for determining safe extract concentrations for subsequent anti-inflammatory activity testing using macrophage cells cultured in a hyperglycemic condition. Extracts were obtained from both leaf and non-leaf parts using maceration and UAE methods, resulting in four extract types: macerated leaf (DM), UAE leaf (DU), macerated non-leaf (NM), and UAE non-leaf (NU). Each extract was prepared in seven concentration series ranging from 7.81 to 500 μg/mL. Toxicity was assessed using the MTT method to determine cell viability after a 4-hour incubation. Significance against the control was analyzed using one-way ANOVA, and the effects of different plant parts, extraction methods, and their interaction were evaluated using two-way ANOVA. Results indicated that concentrations of 7.81-500 μg/mL for all four extracts did not significantly reduce cell viability (p > 0.05) compared to the control, with leaf extracts exhibiting higher viability percentages than non-leaf extracts, especially with the UAE extraction method at a concentration of 250 μg/mL (106.73 ± 4.20%). Variations in plant parts significantly affected (p < 0.05) cell viability percentages, whereas differences in extraction methods and their interaction did not have a significant effect. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the four extracts at concentrations of 7.81-500 μg/mL are non-toxic to RAW 264.7 cells. Therefore, they are safe to use in anti-inflammatory activity testing.

Abstract

The immune system plays an important role for the body, especially in protecting it from exposure to bacteria, viruses, and other foreign bodies. Improving the immune system can be done by daily consumption of certain foods. Foods that can be developed into an immunostimulant are tubers, one of which comes from the genus Dioscorea. Dioscorea esculenta L., known as gembili tuber, is widely found in Indonesia, but has not been widely tested for its activity as an immunostimulant both against the innate and adaptive immune systems. This study aims to determine the immunostimulant activity of aqueous extract (AE), polysaccharide fraction (PF), and non-polysaccharide fraction (NPF) of gembili tubers against macrophage phagocytosis activity and lymphocyte proliferation. Test of phagocytosis activity and lymphocyte proliferation was performed in vitro by adding AE, PF, NPF gembili tubers 12.5, 50, and 100 mg/mL, inulin 100 µg/mL, and positive control 10 mg/mL as a comparison in macrophage cells and mouse lymphocyte cells. Phagocytosis activity was expressed in phagocytosis capacity and phagocytosis index, while lymphocyte proliferative activity was expressed in proliferative stimulating index. The results showed that AE, PF, and NPF could increase macrophage phagocytosis activity, with the highest activity observed at AE 100 μg/ml, PF 100 μg/ml, and NPF 12.5 μg/ml. AE, PF, and NPF were also shown to increase lymphocyte proliferation activity, with the most significant enhancement observed at AE 12.5 μg/mL, PF 12.5, and NPF 50 μg/mL.

Abstract

Cortisol, is a steroid hormone, that plays a role as a stress hormone and is known to elevate blood sugar levels, leading to hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia is characterized by high cortisol levels and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris (Burm.) Bedd) has many health benefits, including its antioxidant content that can reduce blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). This study aims to evaluate the cortisol level reduction in model rats with T2DM after being treated with Stenochlaena palustris (Burm.) Bedd extract by employing a laboratory experimental approach. The blood glucose analysis was performed using pre- and posttest control group designs, while the cortisol measurement followed a posttest control group design. The rats were divided into five groups: KN (normal group), K− (T2DM model rats) which became the control group in this research, K+ (T2DM model rats treated with metformin), and two experimental groups, namely, P1 and P2 (T2DM model rats treated with both metformin and kelakai extract at 400 and 800 mg/kgBW/day doses, respectively, administered through a nasogastric tube for 21 days). Statistics used parametric tests, namely, analysis of variance (ANOVA) with least significant difference post-hoc test. The results of the cortisol levels showed a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05).

Abstract

Moringa contains nutrients that benefit the food and health sectors. The part that has many benefits is the leaves. Moringa leaves contain the compound quercetin (flavonoid), which has antioxidant properties. Kelulut honey contains protocatechuic acid (PCA), which has potent antioxidant activity and OH groups to attract free radicals. The development of a functional drink from Moringa leaves and kelulut honey can be packaged more practically as an instant drink. This research aims to determine the physical characteristics, antioxidant activity, and panelists' preference level (hedonics) for instant drinks with variations of drying temperatures (50, 60, 70°C) and maltodextrin concentrations (15, 20, 30%). Instant drink uses the foam mat drying method with tween 80 as the foaming agent. The results showed that variations in temperature and concentration of maltodextrin influenced the physical characteristics of instant drinks with the best values for each test, which are water content (0.60%), flow time (1.68 g/sec), angle of repose (32°), tapping (6.08%), dissolution time in warm water (3.21 seconds). The best antioxidant activity value produced is 94.73% at 15% formula at 50°C temperature. The panelist's preference levels showed significant differences in smell, color, and taste, with the most preferred being the 15% formula.
