Abstract

Acne vulgaris merupakan peradangan unit polisebasea yang sering dikaitkan dengan infeksi Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). Penggunaan antibakteri topikal seperti klindamisin secara berlebihan telah menyebabkan resistensi C. acnes, sehingga diperlukan alternatif pengobatan. Minyak atsiri bunga lawang (Illicium verumHook. f.) mengandung trans-anetol yang diketahui memiliki aktivitas antibakteri, namun belum banyak diteliti terhadap C. acnes. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi aktivitas antibakteri minyak atsiri bunga lawang terhadap C. acnes, menentukan nilai Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) dan Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC), serta mengembangkan formula serum topikal yang optimal dan efektivitas antibakteri serum minyak atsiri bunga lawang. Metode yang digunakan meliputi uji difusi agar dan makrodilusi. Kontrol positif berupa gel 1% klindamisin, sedangkan kontrol negatif menggunakan DMSO 100% dan formula tanpa minyak atsiri. Minyak atsiri konsentrasi 100% menunjukkan zona hambat terbesar 12,875 ± 0,609 mm. MIC tercatat sebesar 1,56%, sedangkan MBC >25%. Formula serum terbaik adalah F2 yang mengandung 5% minyak atsiri, dengan hasil evaluasi mutu organoleptis berupa cair agak kental berwarna putih dengan aroma khas bunga lawang, homogen, pH 4,947, tipe emulsi m/a, belum memenuhi syarat untuk viskositas dan daya sebar serta mempunyai zona hambat 7,558 ± 0,319 mm. Hasil ini menunjukkan potensi minyak atsiri sebagai antibakteri alternatif dalam pengobatan jerawat. Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous unit frequently associated with Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) infection. Excessive use of topical antibiotics such as clindamycin has led to the emergence of resistant C. acnes strains, necessitating alternative therapeutic approaches. Illicium verum essential oil, known for its high trans-anethole content, possesses antibacterial properties, though its efficacy against C. acnes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of I. verum essential oil against C. acnes, determine its Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC), and develop an optimized topical serum formulation. Antibacterial activity was assessed using agar diffusion and macro-dilution methods. A 1% clindamycin gel served as the positive control, while 100% DMSO and a base formulation without essential oil were used as negative controls. The 100% essential oil exhibited the largest inhibition zone (12.875 ± 0.609 mm), with an MIC of 1.56% and MBC >25%. The optimal serum formulation (F2) contained 5% essential oil and showed desirable organoleptic properties, pH 4.947, oil-in-water emulsion type, though it did not meet the criteria for viscosity and spreadability. Its antibacterial zone was 7.558 ± 0.319 mm. These findings indicate the potential of I. verum essential oil as an alternative antibacterial agent for acne treatment.

Abstract

Minyak jahe mengandung sejumlah minyak atsiri yang diketahui memiliki efek anti inflamasi. Minyak atsiri dapat diperoleh dengan cara adsorpsi rimpang jahe menggunakan minyak jelantah teradsorpsi. Rasio rimpang dengan pelarut dapat mempengaruhi jumlah minyak atsiri yang dihasilkan serta kecepatan reaksi anti inflamasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu melakukan optimasi waktu kontak dan formula minyak urut dengan berbagai rasio minyak jelantah dan rimpang jahe untuk menghasilkan kualitas minyak urut terbaik berdasarkan kandungan metabolit yang diperoleh, serta mengidentifikasi karakteristik kinetika reaksi terhadap efek anti inflamasinya. Metode analisis kandungan senyawa minyak urut pada penelitian ini menggunakan GC-MS, efek anti inflamasi diukur dengan pengukuran volume inflamasi pada hewan uji, dan analisis kinetika dengan pendekatan model arrhenius. Peningkatan waktu kontak minyak jelantah dengan rimpang jahe menghasilkan 4 komponen yaitu asam oleat, camphene, eucalyptol dan gingerol yang meningkat seiring bertambahnya waktu kontak dengan orde reaksi 1. Perbedaan rasio minyak jelantah dan waktu kontak dengan rimpang jahe menghasilkan perbedaan kandungan minyak jahe yang diadsorpsi dengan nilai orde reaksi 1 untuk formula minyak urut. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa adsorpsi minyak jahe menggunakan minyak jelantah mampu meningkatkan kualitas minyak urut dengan membandingkan waktu kontak dan rasio minyak jelantah. Ginger oil contains a number of essential oils that are known to have anti-inflammatory effects. Essential oils can be obtained by adsorbing ginger rhizomes using adsorbed used cooking oil (UsO). The yield of essential oils can be affected by the ratio of solvents and ginger rhizomes used along with the rate of anti-inflammatory reactions. The objective of this research was to optimize the contact time and formula of massage oil with various ratios of UsO and ginger rhizome to produce the best-quality massage oil based on the metabolite content obtained, as well as to identify the reaction kinetics characteristics related to its anti-inflammatory effects. The method of analyzing the content of massage oil compounds in this study used GC-MS, with the anti-inflammatory effect measured by assessing the volume of inflammation in test animals, and the kinetic analysis carried out using the Arrhenius model approach. The increase in the contact time of UsO with ginger rhizomes produces 4 components, namely oleic acid, camphene, eucalyptol and gingerol which increase with the increase in contact time with reaction order 1. The difference in the ratio of UsO and the contact time with the ginger rhizome resulted in a difference in the content of adsorbed ginger oil with a reaction order value of 1 for the massage oil formula. The results showed that the adsorption of ginger oil using Uso was able to improve the quality of massage oil by comparing the contact time and ratio of used cooking oil.

Abstract

Atenolol merupakan obat golongan β1-adrenoblocker selektif yang digunakan untuk mengobati kondisi kardiovaskular seperti hipertensi dan angina pektoris. Namun, atenolol memiliki kelarutan dan permeabilitas yang rendah hal ini dapat membatasi bioavailabilitas oralnya. Salah satu metode yang efektif untuk meningkatkan kelarutan dan laju disolusi obat dengan kelarutan rendah adalah melalui pembentukan dispersi padat. Dispersi padat melibatkan pembawa obat dalam matriks yang bersifat inert dalam keadaan padat, yang dapat meningkatkan kelarutan dan stabilitas obat. Metode freeze drying (liofilisasi) digunakan dalam pembuatan dispersi padat atenolol untuk menghindari dekomposisi termal dan menghasilkan dispersi molekuler yang homogen. Karakterisasi dispersi padat yang dihasilkan meliputi analisis morfologi, identifikasi gugus fungsi, sifat kristalinitas, analisis termal, ukuran partikel, distribusi ukuran partikel, dan potensi zeta. Pada berbagai penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa dispersi padat dapat meningkatkan kelarutan dan laju disolusi atenolol secara signifikan. Atenolol is a selective β1-adrenoblocker drug used to treat cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension and angina pectoris. However, atenolol has low solubility and permeability, which can limit its oral bioavailability. One effective method to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of drugs with low solubility is through the formation of solid dispersions. Solid dispersions involve drug carriers in an inert matrix in the solid state, which can increase the solubility and stability of the drug. The freeze drying (lyophilization) method is used in the preparation of atenolol solid dispersions to avoid thermal decomposition and produce homogeneous molecular dispersions. Characterization of the resulting solid dispersions includes morphological analysis, identification of functional groups, crystallinity properties, thermal analysis, particle size, particle size distribution, and zeta potential. Various previous studies have shown that solid dispersions can significantly increase the solubility and dissolution rate of atenolol.

Abstract

Mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria, pose a significant public health threat in Indonesia, with cases increasing to 400,000 in 2023. This study focuses on developing a natural mosquito repellent lotion using lempuyang (Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith) essential oil, known for its insecticidal properties, as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic repellents. The objective of this study is to formulate and evaluate a mosquito repellent lotion using lempuyang essential oil at varying concentrations (5%, 10%, and 15%) and assess its physical properties, safety, and repellent efficacy. Lempuyang essential oil was extracted via steam distillation from fresh rhizomes. Lotion formulations were prepared with different oil concentrations and evaluated for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, emulsion type, pH, spreadability, and stability. Skin irritation tests were conducted and mosquito repellent efficacy was tested using Culex sp. mosquitoes in a controlled environment. The essential oil extraction via steam distillation yielded 0.4% oil from fresh lempuyang rhizomes, producing a pale yellowish-white oil. All lotion formulations exhibited desirable organoleptic properties, homogeneity, and spreadability (5–7 cm), with pH levels (6.18–7.46) suitable for skin application. Stability tests confirmed no changes in appearance, color, or odor over four weeks. Irritation tests showed no adverse reactions, confirming the lotion’s safety. The 15% formulation demonstrated the highest mosquito repellent efficacy, providing 82.45% protection, outperforming the 5% and 10% formulations. These results highlight the 15% lempuyang essential oil lotion as a promising, natural, and safe mosquito repellent.

Pengamatan stabilitas dilakukan pada hari ke-0, 7, 14, dan 30 untuk parameter organoleptis, berat jenis, tipe emulsi, ukuran droplet, viskositas, sifat alir, daya sebar, dan pH. Penghantaran zat aktif berkhasiat diamati dari parameter kadar acemannan. Ketiga formula body scrub memenuhi spesifikasi. Variasi konsentrasi emulgator mempengaruhi ukuran droplet dan stabilitas body scrub. Body scrub formula III dengan konsentrasi total emulgator 6% merupakan formula terbaik yang stabil pada keseluruhan parameter termasuk kadar acemannan tertinggi, serta keunggulan pada karakteristik ukuran droplet yang lebih kecil. Aloe vera is widely used in body care products due to its moisturizing and skin-nourishing properties, attributed to the presence of the polysaccharide acemannan, a natural humectant. The stability of body scrub creams is influenced by the composition of emulsifiers such as tween 80 and glyceryl monostearate, which maintain product homogeneity during storage. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of varying emulsifier concentrations on the stability and acemannan delivery of Aloe vera-based body scrubs. Three formulations were prepared using Aloe vera extract, rice bran oil, virgin coconut oil, polyethylene microbeads, and a combination of tween 80 and glyceryl monostearate at total concentrations of 4%, 5%, and 6% in Formulas I, II, and III, respectively. Stability assessments were conducted on days 0, 7, 14, and 30, evaluating organoleptic properties, specific gravity, emulsion type, droplet size, viscosity, flow behavior, spreadability, and pH. The delivery of the bioactive compound was evaluated based on the acemannan content. All formulations met general specification requirements. Emulsifier concentration influenced droplet size and overall formulation stability. Formula III, with 6% total emulsifier, demonstrated the highest stability across all parameters, including the smallest droplet size and the highest acemannan content, indicating it as the most optimal formulation.

Abstract

Oral formulations remain the primary method of drug delivery, however, the solubility and lipophilicity of compounds such as atenolol present significant obstacles. Atenolol, a β1-selective antihypertensive agent, exhibits limited solubility in both aqueous and gastrointestinal environments. Atenolol is developed in a lipid-based delivery system, specifically the Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS), to enhance its bioavailability and resolve this issue. SNEDDS can improve drug solubility by generating spontaneous nanoemulsions in the gastrointestinal tract. This study aims to evaluate and improve the main components of SNEDDS, specifically oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant, according to the parameters of % transmittance, polydispersity index (PI), and zeta potential. The research findings suggest that the nine formulas have not yet achieved the optimal attributes concerning clarity and durability against dilution. Differences in oil types and amounts of surfactants and cosurfactants influence droplet size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential. Formulas 2 (soybean oil), 7, and 9 (olive oil) exhibit physicochemical parameters that meets the criteria and possess potential for further advancement.
