Abstract

The prevalence of chronic kidney disease worldwide has been reported to increase every year with hypertension serving as the leading cause. The recommended treatment for chronic kidney disease patients with a history of hypertension is antihypertensive medications, which could cause side effects from prolonged use. Hence, the authors sought out a possible novel modality by implementing antioxidant properties from beard lichen (Usnea spp.) extract. Literature search was conducted on trusted scientific databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, DOAJ, and Cochrane. The pathophysiology of hypertension in the progression of chronic kidney disease could mainly be attributed to the presence of inflammation and oxidative stress, which could be attenuated by the use of antioxidants. Lichens are a class of complex living organisms resulting from a symbiosis that allows them to synthesize various beneficial phytochemicals. Usnic and stictic acid derived from Usnea spp. are part of phenolic compounds that display strong antioxidant activities. In order for these antioxidants to have a focused effect on the kidneys, a kidney-targeted drug delivery system should be considered with lysozyme conjugation being the most studied method. The combination of Usnea spp. extract’s antioxidant capabilities with lysozyme conjugation could serve as a potential novel modality in the specific prevention of chronic kidney disease progression.                 Keywords: antioxidant; chronic kidney disease; lysozyme conjugation; Usnea                       spp.

Abstract

One of the most popular pharmaceutical preparations for the eyes today is in situ gel. The in situ gel system is a system that is liquid at room temperature but will form a gel when it comes into contact with the body or undergoes a change in pH. The form of the drug delivery system is in-situ is a type of mucoadhesive drug delivery system. Gel formation depends on several factors such as temperature modulation, pH changes, the presence of ions, ultra-violet irradiation, electrical sensitivity, and the enzyme by which the active substance is released. The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic efficacy of in situ gel medicines on pH, temperature triggered, and ion activated gelling systems. A drug in situ gel is a drug delivery device that transforms into a gel after being applied to the body. The findings revealed that the pH, temperature triggered, and ion activated gelling system factors had a substantial influence on the extended release medicines that affect the therapeutic effect of in situ gel medications. This comparative investigation demonstrates that the pH, temperature triggered, and ion activated gelling system factors have significant implications on the therapeutic benefits of in situ gelled medicines. A deeper knowledge of the relationships between these variables and in situ gel drug delivery methods can lead to the development of more effective and dependable medication compositions. These findings could aid in the development of improved gel in situ drug delivery systems to improve therapeutic benefits in the treatment of a variety of medical disorders.  Keywords: in situ gel, pH triggered, temperature triggered, ion activated, therapeutic effect.

Abstract

An overview of the development of nanocarriers is presented in this work using the practical technique of the Emulsification Diffusion Method (EDM). The field of nanomedicine, which combines nanotechnology and medicine, involves creating new therapeutic and diagnostic modalities by employing precisely designed substances with this range of lengths. Many medicinal products and diagnostic tools based on nanoparticles have been developed. The emulsification-diffusion method (EDM) was utilized to prepare nanometer-sized particles, which are commonly used as polymeric carriers. The process involves emulsifying a drug and polymer solution in an aqueous phase that has been saturated with stabilizers and then adding an excessive amount of water.  Investigations into how process variables affect the average size of nanoparticles have been carried out. It was made apparent that the kind and concentrations of stabilizer, the speed at which the magnetic stirrer homogenizes, and the polymer concentration all affected the size of the nanoparticles. Additionally, the medications integrated into nanocarriers have a longer half-life in circulation, which boosts their effectiveness and allows for a lower application dose. Because of their small size and high surface area, drug nanocarriers are also more bioavailable and soluble, which allows their many atoms and high surface energy to act as catalysts.

Abstract

The growing complexity of moisturizer formulations, particularly those incorporating natural product-based nanoemulgels, highlights an urgent need for standardized efficacy evaluation methods. This systematic review critically examines hydration testing methodologies used for natural ingredient-based nanoemulgel moisturizers, with a focus on their validity, reliability, and practical application. Through a comprehensive analysis of 32 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023, this study identified several key limitations in current practices, including inconsistent testing conditions, the absence of standardized protocols for assessing natural ingredients, and variability in reporting methods. The findings emphasize the necessity of developing robust, standardized hydration testing protocols tailored specifically for natural product-based nanoemulgels. By addressing these challenges, this study lays the groundwork for optimizing nanoemulgel formulations, ensuring reliable efficacy assessments, and enhancing consumer trust in natural-based skincare products. Keyword: Moisturizer, Nanoemulgel, Natural Product

Abstract

Simvastatin is a drugs used to lower plasma cholesterol. Simvastatin is a class II BCS drug that has low solubility and high permeability. One of the efforts made to increase the solubility of simvastatin is the formation of multicomponent crystals (co-crystals and salts). The purpose of this study was to determine the solubility and dissolution profile of multicomponent crystal simvastatin with the best co-former candidate from the in silico test. Simvastatin-co-former multicomponent crystal were prepared using solvent drop grinding method with a mol ratio of 1:1 ; 1:2 and 2:1. Based on the result of value of binding affinity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, isonicotinamide was chosen as the co-former in this research. Evaluation of multicomponent crystals was carried out by solubility and dissolution tests. The evaluation results showed an increase in the solubility and dissolution of the simvastatin-isocotinamide multicomponent crystal with the highest increase occurring in the simvastatin-isocotinamide multicomponent crystal with a mol ratio of 1:2. Multicomponent crystal characterization was carried out to determine physicochemical characteristics. The results of characterization using infrared spectrophotometry showed a spectrum shift. The results of the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis show a decrease in the melting point. The results of Powder X-ray diffraction analysis showed that there were differences in the shape of the crystals indicated by the formation of new peaks on the diffractogram. So, it can be concluded that simvastatin-isocotinamide multicomponent crystals are able to increase solubility and dissolution compared to pure simvastatin.

Abstract

The ophthalmic solutions have a major problem that is the poor bioavailability, such as the attainment of optimal drug concentration at the site of action, which is compromised mainly due to precorneal loss resulting in only small fraction of the drug being ocularly absorbed. This is overcome by developing an in situ ophthalmic gel which increases the retention time of the drug. The present review describes the formulation and evaluation of in situ gel-forming ophthalmic drug delivery system of an anti allergy drug sodium cromoglycate, an anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac sodium and aceclofenac based on the pH triggered concept in situ gelation. All the formulations varies in concentration and the content used. Based on the results obtained, Sodium cromoglycate which has been formulated with gelrite and HPMC E15LV has the highest ocular residence time compared to the other two formulations.Keywords: Ophthalmic in situ gel,sodium cromoglycate, diclofenac sodium,                      aceclofenac, gelrite, HPMC E15LV

Abstract

Whitening creams are cosmetic products applied to the skin to brighten or alter skin tone. The use of retinoic acid and hydroquinone without medical supervision is prohibited under Indonesian Food an Drug Authority (BPOM) regulations, as these are classified as prescription drugs that may cause harmful side effects with long-term use, such as skin irritation, dryness, burning sensation, and teratogenic effects. Unfortunately, these substances are still misused in some facial whitening products. This study aimed to identify the presence and determine the concentration of retinoic acid and hydroquinone in facial whitening creams sold in Ujung Berung Market, Bandung City. Samples were selected using purposive sampling with the criteria of being low-cost and without a registration number. A total of four cream samples were analyzed qualitatively using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) with a mobile phase of acetone:n-hexane (4:6), and quantitatively using UV-Visible spectrophotometry. Absorbance measurements for retinoic acid and hydroquinone were performed at wavelengths of 324 nm and 300 nm, respectively. TLC results showed that two samples, B and D, tested positive for retinoic acid with Rf values of 0.52 and 0.55, respectively, exhibited dark blue spots similar to the standard. The result of hydroquinone analysis using TLC was unidentified. Quantitative analysis revealed that sample B contained the highest retinoic acid concentration (0.077% w/w), while sample A had the highest hydroquinone concentration (0.604% w/w). These findings suggest that some facial whitening creams sold in Ujung Berung Market still contain unauthorized levels of retinoic acid and hydroquinone, highlighting the need for stricter regulation and public awareness.
