Phytotherapy's Impact on Immune Regulation in Degenerative Diseases
type: item
description: This literature review looks at how phytotherapy affects immune regulation in degenerative diseases like neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and metabolic disorders. We begin by outlining a theoretical framework that explains how chronic inflammation, caused by pathways such as NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome, plays a central role in these conditions. Next, we explore how different phytochemicals, including flavonoids, stilbenes, and phenolic acids, achieve their therapeutic effects by influencing these important inflammatory pathways, lowering cytokine production, and offering antioxidant support. The review applies this knowledge to specific diseases, emphasizing how compounds like curcumin and resveratrol may help reduce neuroinflammation and improve immune balance. Finally, we discuss the main challenges related to bioavailability and standardization, suggesting future research paths to realize the full potential of these natural compounds as effective strategies for managing chronic degenerative conditions.

Pharmacognostic and Phytochemical Characterization of Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum Corm (Araceae) and Preliminary Evaluation of Its Antimicrobial Activity
type: item
description: Colocasia esculenta has been reported in reputable journals to exhibit various bioactivities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacognostic characteristics and phytochemical profile of Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum corm (Araceae). The corms were collected, authenticated, oven-dried, and subjected to preliminary pharmacognostic and phytochemical analyses. Pharmacognostic evaluations included organoleptic, microscopic, and physicochemical examinations. The dried corm powder was extracted with distilled water, followed by qualitative phytochemical screening. The extract was found to contain saponins, flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenoids. Antimicrobial activity was further evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans, which were selected as representative pathogenic microorganisms for Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi, respectively. These microorganisms were chosen based on previous reports demonstrating that the ethanolic leaf extract of taro exhibited antifungal activity against Candida albicans and antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, and Escherichia coli. However, no inhibitory effect was observed in this study. All analyses were performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopeia. The findings provide reference data for the pharmacognostic identification of Colocasia esculenta corm and highlight its phytochemical constituents. Further investigations on other biological activities are required to validate its therapeutic potential.

Development, Optimization, and Characterization of Wet-Granulated Curcumin Nanostructured Lipid Carrier Tablets
type: item
description: Curcumin has been widely recognized for its broad therapeutic potential, including its emerging role as an antiviral agent. However, its clinical translation is limited by poor aqueous solubility, rapid metabolism, and low oral bioavailability. To address these challenges, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have been proposed as a promising delivery system to enhance curcumin stability and systemic availability. This study aimed to formulate curcumin-loaded NLCs, optimize their physicochemical characteristics, and develop an oral tablet dosage form using the wet granulation method with super-disintegrant variation. The optimized NLC formulation was prepared and subsequently freeze-dried prior to compression into tablets. Particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, morphology, entrapment efficiency (EE), and loading capacity (LC) were evaluated. Tablets were formulated using starch, croscarmellose sodium (2% and 3%), PVP, aerosil, and Avicel PH 102, followed by assessment of physical quality parameters including weight uniformity, hardness, friability, disintegration, and dissolution profile. The optimized NLCs exhibited desirable nanoscale characteristics, with particle size of 70.95 nm, PDI 0.379, zeta potential −23.9 mV, spherical morphology, EE 99.75%, and LC 9.93%. The resulting tablets were yellow, bitter, and odorless, with acceptable pharmacopeial quality. Weight and size uniformity were within limits, hardness was 3.81 kg/cm² and 4.38 kg/cm², friability 1.45% and 0.50%, and disintegration times 1.86 min and 1.28 min for 2% and 3% super-disintegrant, respectively. Dissolution profiles indicated 26.12% and 25.79% release within the test period. Curcumin can be successfully formulated into stable NLCs with excellent encapsulation efficiency and incorporated into wet-granulated tablets meeting pharmacopeial standards. The use of 3% croscarmellose sodium provided the most favorable disintegration profile, suggesting its potential as an optimized …

Development and Optimization of Facial Wash Gel with Okra Fruit (Abelmoschus esculentus) Extract: a Study on HPMC Concentration Variations
type: item
description: The stability of facial wash gel formulations is influenced by the concentration of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), which plays a crucial role in determining viscosity, homogeneity, spreadability, and foam stability. This study aimed to evaluate and optimize the physical stability of facial wash gel containing okra extract 3% (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) by varying HPMC concentrations (1, 1.5, and 2%). The formulations were assessed for homogeneity, syneresis, pH stability, viscosity, spreadability, and foam stability over a 28-day storage period at room temperature (25°C). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 27, including Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene’s test for homogeneity, One-Way ANOVA, and Tukey’s post-hoc test to determine significant differences among formulations. The results showed that HPMC concentration significantly influenced gel stability. F1 (1% HPMC) exhibited syneresis, excessive spreadability, and lower viscosity, indicating poor structural integrity. F2 (1.5% HPMC) maintained moderate stability but showed significant changes in spreadability over time. F3 (2% HPMC) demonstrated the best stability with optimal viscosity, minimal syneresis, controlled spreadability, and consistent foam formation. pH values for all formulations remained within the acceptable range (4.5–7.8, SNI 16-4380-1996). Foam stability (60–70%) met regulatory standards (SNI 16-4085-1996), with higher HPMC concentrations contributing to increased foam retention. The study confirms that HPMC concentration is a key determinant of gel stability. F3 (2% HPMC) exhibited the most stable formulation, balancing viscosity, spreadability, and foam stability, making it the optimal formulation for facial wash gel development. These findings highlight the importance of gelling agent optimization in cosmetic formulations, ensuring both product stability and consumer acceptability.

Anti-inflammatory Activity of Glucomannan Resulting from β-mannanase Enzyme Hydrolysis in RAW 264.7 Cells
type: item
description: Glucomannan is a polysaccharide of the hemicellulose type, composed of glucose and mannose chains. It has the ability to form solutions that expand and thicken. The bioactivity of carbohydrates is influenced by the length of their saccharide chains. Hydrolysis can alter the structural dimensions of polysaccharides, including molecular weight, type, number, and position of substituent groups, which in turn impacts their biological activity. Various methods can modify carbohydrate structures to enhance their value, with degradation being one such method. Enzymatic degradation is particularly advantageous due to its high specificity, efficiency, and minimal side effects. Numerous studies have identified glucomannan as having immunomodulatory effects on macrophage cells. When stimulated with lipopolysaccharides, macrophages release various cytokines and inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-α, iNOS, and NO. This study explored the potential anti-inflammatory effects of glucomannan (GM) and its enzymatically hydrolyzed form (Enz-GM) on RAW 264.7 cells. The research involved degrading glucomannan using the β-mannanase enzyme, followed by in vitro testing of the degradation product (Enz-GM) for anti-inflammatory activity. This was achieved using an ELISA kit to measure the expression of IL-6, TNF-α, and iNOS. The results showed that Enz-GM at pH 9 (Mw 1.24 kDa) significantly reduced the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and iNOS (p ≤ 0.05) compared to GM, while TNF-α expression did not show a significant difference between Enz-GM and GM.

Formulation of a 2-in-1 Conditioner-Shampoo Containing Morus nigra Ethanolic Extract with Surfactant Combination
type: item
description: Black mulberry (Morus nigra) is rich in flavonoids and anthocyanins with antioxidant and conditioning properties that can improve hair health. However, its incorporation into a stable 2-in-1 conditioner-shampoo formulation remains limited. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physical stability of conditioner-shampoo preparations containing M. nigra ethanolic extract at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15% w/w using sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES) and cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) as surfactant bases. Each formulation was prepared by gradual mixing of aqueous and surfactant phases, followed by the addition of conditioning agents and active extract. Physical characteristics—including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, foam height, and viscosity—were evaluated before and after six cycles of a stability test at 4 °C and 40 °C. All formulas exhibited homogeneous brown appearance with peppermint aroma and acceptable foam stability. The initial pH decreased with increasing extract concentration (F1 = 6.74; F2 = 5.95; F3 = 3.97) and slightly decreased after cycling (F1 = 6.21; F2 = 5.84; F3 = 3.61). Viscosity values ranged from 44,000 to 70,000 mPas and decreased after temperature cycling, whereas foam height remained within acceptable limits (≈ 1.5–2.3 cm). Among the tested formulations, F2 (10% extract) showed the most balanced properties in terms of pH, viscosity, and foam stability. In conclusion, a 10% M. nigra ethanolic extract conditioner-shampoo demonstrated good physical stability and potential as a natural antioxidant and conditioning hair-care product.

type: item
description: The okra fruit (A esculentus fructus) is renowned for its significant antioxidant properties, attributed to its rich content of bioactive compounds. Despite its high antioxidant activity, which has been extensively documented, its potential as a component in cosmetic formulations particularly lip balm preparation remains underutilized. This study seeks to address this gap by incorporating okra fruit extract into lip balm formulations and evaluating the resulting physical and functional attributes. Lip balm formulations were developed with three varying concentrations of Ethanol okra fruit extract: F1 (1%), F2 (3%), and F3 (5%). A series of comprehensive evaluations were conducted to assess the physical stability and performance of the lip balms, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, melting point, spreadability, and overall stability. Stability was monitored over a 28-day period at room temperature to simulate typical storage conditions. The antioxidant efficacy of the okra extract was quantified using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay, which yielded an IC50 value of 10.06 µg/ml, reflecting its potent free radical scavenging capacity. In comparison, the lip balm formulations demonstrated higher IC50 values, with Formulation I (FI) at 46.35 µg/ml, Formulation II (FII) at 40 µg/ml, and Formulation III (FIII) at 30.23 µg/ml, indicating a reduction in antioxidant activity in the formulated products compared to the pure extract.. The lip balm formulations exhibited a distinct okra aroma, smooth texture, and uniform color variations ranging from light brown (F1), brown (F2), to dark brown (F3). pH values ranged from 5.40 to 5.81, and melting points were between 49.6°C and 52.9°C, all within the acceptable range as per SNI 16-4769-1998 standards. ANOVA statistical analysis revealed no significant changes (p > 0.05) in melting point and spreadability over time.

type: item
description: Indonesia is a source of raw materials for tropical medicines that treat various diseases. One of the places to plant soursop leaves in West Java is Jayasari Village, Pangandaran District. Annona muricata Linn (Soursop) leaves is a medicinal plant widely used as an anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, insecticide, antimalarial, anticancer, antibacterial, and antioxidant. Soursop leaves have many benefits because they contain phytochemical compounds. This study aims to determine the phytochemical content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of A. muricata leaves. This research was carried out in several steps, including extraction, evaporation, phytochemical testing, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity. Phytochemicals were extracted with 96% ethanol by maceration. Measurement of flavonoids in extracts was determined using standard quercetin and UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. Antioxidant activity was carried out through a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical removal test. The results showed that the ethanol extract of soursop leaves contained alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, saponins, and tannins. The results of measurements of flavonoids from the ethanol extract of soursop leaves showed that 1 g of the extract contained 8.32 mg of quercetin equivalent. The ethanol extract of soursop leaves has antioxidant activity, as indicated by the scavenging of DPPH radicals with an IC50 of 56.73 ppm.

Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Compounds from Ebony Leaf Extract (Diospyros celebica Bakh.) and Their Correlation with Total Phenolic and Flavonoid Compounds in Various Solvent Extraction
type: item
description: Ebony (Diospyros celebica. Bakh) is a native plant of Indonesia that is used as a traditional medicine for diabetes mellitus. Previous studies state that ethanol extract from ebony leaves significantly reduced blood glucose levels of diabetic rats induced by alloxan. This ability is thought to be caused by secondary metabolites which is phenolic and flavonoid compound. However, research related to structure compounds in extract and composition of solvent variations in the extraction process to get the most optimal activity and also their correlation with total phenolic and flavonoid compounds has not been carried out. This study aimed to evaluate the composition of the optimum solvent in the extraction process and also to know the structure compounds contained in the extract. In the present study, we extracted the ebony leaves with three solvents of different polarity (ethanol-water), i.e. ethanol 50% (EtOH), EtOH 70%, and EtOH 96%. Quantitative estimation of total phenolic and flavonoid contents. These extracts were future evaluated for their activity and the content of compounds in the extract was identified using LCMS/MS. The results showed that phenolic compounds that have been identified in ebony leaf extract are methyl gallate and (-)-Epiafzelechin 3-gallate and we found there were significant differences in all test parameters between the three extracts which is EtOH 96% extract gave the best.

Enhanced Efficacy of Kaffir Lime (Citrus hystrix) Essential Oil Spray Gel Against Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes
type: item
description: The primary mode of dengue disease transmission is by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The essential oil derived from Kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix) leaves comprises 66.85% beta-citronellal, 6.59% beta-citronellol, 3.90% linalol, and 1.76% citronellol. These constituents exhibit repelling properties. The objective of this study was to develop a spray gel formulation using kaffir lime leaf essential oil to create an efficient repellent. The process involves tearing fresh kaffir lime leaves and subsequently distilling them with distilled water. The distillation procedure yields an essential oil that is subsequently incorporated into a spray gel formulation, with varying concentrations of 1%, 5%, and 10%. Based on the findings of the efficacy test from 3 spray gel formulas through mosquito repelling activity conducted over 6 hours, it can be concluded that all tested formulas exhibited variation in effectiveness in repelling mosquito bites. The efficacy of the protection index against Aedes aegypti mosquito bites is contingent upon the concentration of kaffir lime essential oil in the formulation. There is a positive correlation between concentration and the duration of protection.
