Studies with educational interventions have been conducted and show varied outcomes. The systematic review aimed to summarize and evaluate the effectiveness of studies regarding educational interventions for people with schizophrenia. Two electronic databases (PubMed and Science Direct) were used to find studies with criteria that were educational interventions for people with schizophrenia and focused on outcome measures related to improving knowledge, medication adherence, and other outcomes as an effect of educational interventions, randomized or randomized controlled trial studies, published between 2012 and 2022. The manual search of referenced articles was also applied. A literature search was conducted using the terms (\"people with schizophrenia\" OR \"patients with schizophrenia\") AND (\"education\" OR \"knowledge\") AND (\"medication adherence\" OR \"medication compliance\" OR \"medication persistence\"). Of the 666 studies, seven were eligible. Some educational interventions are part of a therapy program, while others are full psychoeducational programs that target not only the patient but also the patient's family. There was only one study that used counseling supported by leaflets delivered by a pharmacist. Another intervention used face-to-face interviews and discussions supplemented by modules or booklets, or giving booklets to patients and then following up by phone. Only one of the seven studies was effective in increasing patient knowledge. The rest did not measure knowledge but assessed other parameters, i.e., stigma and insight, symptoms, social functioning, relapse rate, or quality of life as the effect of educational intervention. Three studies showed a significant difference in improvement in medication adherence between the intervention and control groups; two studies were not significant, and the rest were unmeasured. It can be concluded that educational intervention had a positive effect on PwS and their families’ knowledge, improved medication adherence, and other outcomes as an effect of the educational intervention.","PeriodicalId":13520,"journal":{"name":"INDONESIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY","volume":"85 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138996205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One versatile group of compounds, known for their significant bioactivity and several of its derivatives that have been clinically approved, is the group of pyrazolines. This study aimed to synthesize 1-formyl-2-pyrazoline derivatives (pyrazolines 1-2) using chalcone 1-2, hydrazine hydrate, and formic acid via cyclo-condensation. The synthesized compounds were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H- and 13C-NMR) spectrometers. Pyrazolines 1-2 were found to be drug-like compounds, satisfying Lipinski’s Rule of Five and possessing favourable absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties, including good gastrointestinal absorption, blood-brain barrier permeability, and no interaction with P-glycoprotein. Furthermore, they were inactive against several toxicity endpoints in a normal body condition, such as immunotoxicity, mutagenicity, and cytotoxicity. In vitro cytotoxic evaluation of the pyrazolines 1-2 against HeLa and MCF7 cancer cell lines demonstrated moderate activity, with IC50 values of 25.01 µM and 82.87 µM, respectively. Pyrazolines 1-2 also showed good selectivity with selectivity index (SI) values of 8.92 and 14.45. The molecular docking study on epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) (PDB ID: 4HJO) revealed that pyrazolines 1-2 had a binding affinity of -7.9 and -8.0 kcal/mol, respectively. The compounds interacted with Lys721 residue through hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions due to the presence of the pyrazoline ring and the formyl group in their structures. These findings suggest that pyrazolines 1-2 scaffold has the potential to be further studied as a lead compound for anticancer drug candidates.","PeriodicalId":13520,"journal":{"name":"INDONESIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY","volume":"58 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138999789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It conducted an experimental design study in a pharmacology laboratory using mice models. It was conducted experimentally in 7 groups. There are normal, solvent, negative control, and four test groups (given an ethanolic extract of AML at doses of 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kgBW) which were administered orally for 7 days. Gentamicin 112 mg/kgBW was induced intraperitoneally on the 8th day. All mice were anesthetized on the 11th day to collect blood serum and renal organs for further examination. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 for One Way ANOVA test and followed by Duncan's post-hoc analysis test. The difference is considered significant if the p-value <0.05. Gentamicin successfully induced renal damage based on increasing creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. This was by histopathology analysis which showed renal necrosis in the negative control group. Ethanolic extract of AML prevents nephrotoxicity due to gentamicin in a dose-dependent manner in creatinine level but not in BUN and histopathology.

Some endophytes are reported to be able to produce secondary metabolites similar to their parent plants. This study aimed to obtain endophytic fungi from P. macrocarpa capable of producing compounds with anticancer potential. Endophytes producing anticancer compounds were explored by screening endophytic fungi producing secondary metabolites from parts of the plant P. macrocarpa collected in the Yogyakarta area. The anticancer bioassay (MTT assay) was performed in vitro using cancer cells T47D, MCF7, HeLa, and normal Vero cells. Potential extracts were traced for their mechanism of cell cycle modulation and apoptosis using Flowcytometry. First, fungal identification was carried out on fungi producing potential cytotoxic extracts. Then the compound content was analyzed using LC-HRMS. The results from the six extracts obtained from fruit, leaf, and stem parts showed that the endophytic extract from the leaves (code PC-L2) had the best cytotoxicity compared to other endophytes and showed the best result on MCF-7 cells with an IC50 value of 110.66 µg/mL. The producing PC-L2 extract fungi are closely associated with Clonostachys wenpingii strain DUCC5606.

However, the time in therapeutic range remain low in Indonesia and also in some countries in throughout the world. This study aimed to analyse the challenges of optimal warfarin control from the perspectives of healthcare professionals, patients, health system, and to propose strategies to address these challenges. This research consists of two stages. The first stage was a prospective observational study aiming to analyse the challenges and the second stage of the research was focus group discussion to propose strategies to overcome the challenges. The result of this study showed that the average of TTR was 49.4 ± 32.1, where only 37.5% patients had TTR ≥ 65%. The average dosing consistency obtained was 62.33 ± 32.42%. With regard to INR monitoring interval, almost all patient who had supraterapeutic INR had their INR monitoring interval set to 1 month after the dose adjustment. There were also identified that only 43.8% patients classified as adherent and only 39.5 % patients had good knowledge of warfarin, indicating that the level of medication adherence and knowledge was not optimal. In this study, 14.6% of patients received other drugs that potentially interacted with warfarin that cause fluctuate INR. In conclusion, this study's results showed that there were multiple challenges for optimal warfarin control including barrier for dosing consistency, INR monitoring, patients’ adherence and knowledge, as well as drug interactions. However, there will be still room for improvement. The proposed strategy that likely will achieve optimal benefit was a holistic approach that combine multifaceted strategies to address each barrier.","PeriodicalId":13520,"journal":{"name":"INDONESIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136378843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, we studied the influence of the blockers of AR (Enzalutamide) and ARv7 (EPI-001) on tumorigenesis processes using T47D, an ER+ BC cell line. Several techniques were employed: Sulphorhodamine assay (SRB), Flow cytometry, Immunostaining, Scratch wound healing assay, Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western blot. Mechanistically, the drugs successfully arrested the cell cycle at S-phase and downregulated the protein expression of cyclins A, E, &amp; C. Additionally, they inhibited the cell proliferation stimulator nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB), whereas only EPI-001 reduced the cell regulatory marker c-Myc. They also opposed the endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, by boosting the epithelial marker E-cadherin and reducing the protein expression of the mesenchymal marker fibronectin. Their anti-metastatic potential was evidenced by the hindrance of cell migration using the wound healing assay and further confirmed by the downregulation of metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and 9 protein expression, and protein content of Rho kinase (ROCK)1 and 2. Besides, by downregulating the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) the drugs point to their anti-angiogenic aptitude. In conclusion, this in-vitro study highlights the importance of targeting AR/ARv7 using Enzalutamide and EPI-001 in decreasing proliferation cell markers, EMT, and metastasis in ER+ BC cells, findings that may have great impact in the treatment of ER+ BC.","PeriodicalId":13520,"journal":{"name":"INDONESIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135109426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several studies show it has a compound with biological activities such as inhibition of cell proliferation, one of the mechanisms leading to anticancer activities. This study aimed to profile the metabolites and predict activity against two breast cancer receptors (ERα (3ERT) and HER2 (3PPO)) with an in silico approach. Metabolite profiling of water and 80% ethanol extract was analyzed by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS. Also, we performed a radical scavenging activity by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Putative identification of metabolite in L. amara showed the 46 metabolites (4 unknown) were identified and predominantly as quinoline alkaloids. Some of the compounds from glycosides and phenol groups were also identified. From the antioxidant capacity test results, the 80% ethanol extract had a higher radical scavenging capacity than the aqueous extract. Based on the molecular docking results, the highest affinity for the ERα receptor was found in the tested compound tetrahydropapaveroline and exceeded the native 4-OHT ligand. For the HER2 receptor, graveolinine has the highest affinity but is still below the native lapatinib ligand. Ligand interactions with the amino acids Leu 387 and Glu 419 on the active site of the ERα receptor and Phe1004 on the HER2 receptor are thought to play an important role in increasing the energy affinity. Overall, all compounds showed higher affinity for HER2 receptors than ERα. Alkaloids demonstrated anticancer activity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the antifibrotic effect of ciplukan extract through repairing the liver function, anti-inflammatory, and lowering cholesterol. The liver fibrosis model using 20% margarine was injected subcutaneously 8 times with a frequency of twice a week for 4 weeks in 35 male and 35 female Wistar strains which were divided into 7 groups. Furthermore, the rats were given Ciplukan extract (CPL) orally starting the 6th week of treatment with 2 different doses, namely 13.5 mg (CPL-1) and 27 mg (CPL-2) every day for 4 weeks. The histopathological changes of liver fibrosis was analyzed using Haematoxylin Eosin (HE) staining. Determination of serum IL-6 and TGF-β1 levels was carried out by the ELISA method. ALT and cholesterol levels were tested using a diagnostic kit. Single and multiple doses of ciplukan extract with or without standard therapy (Vitamin E) can reduce fibrotic scores up to 1.30±0.95 (p=0.001), TGF-β1 levels up to 24.20±2.02 ng/mL (p = 0.000), IL-6 levels up to 1.68±0.52 pg/mL (p=0.156), ALT levels up to 104.57±2.02 U/mL (p=0.001), and cholesterol levels up to 81, 07±2.02 mg/dL (p=0.000).
