The higher cancer mortality rate is related to metastasis, which is a major stumbling block in cancer treatment. Polyphenols are a diverse set of antioxidant-rich natural compounds that are often used in cancer treatments as chemopreventives and adjuvants. To find publications that highlight the topic of this review paper, a thorough literature search was conducted in several electronic databases such as PubMed Central, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Medline. Many signaling pathways are involved in the metastatic cascade, including the tyrosine kinase pathway. Tyrosine kinases are a group of enzymes involved in the control of cancer spread. Polyphenols' true role in cancer metastasis remains unappreciated, despite a large body of research proving their antimetastatic effects. As a result, the current work lays out cancer metastasis signaling pathways, stressing the importance of tyrosine kinases in the metastatic process. Polyphenols can suppress tyrosine kinase activity, which contributes to their antimetastatic characteristics. The importance of polyphenols in preventing cancer metastasis by interfering with the tyrosine kinase signaling cascade is highlighted in this work, which could lead to the development of future antimetastatic drugs.","PeriodicalId":13520,"journal":{"name":"INDONESIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81289083","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}

A scoping review was conducted in PUBMED in a time frame 1 Januari 2010- 28 February 2021. All type studies of randomised controlled trials, observational studies, before and after studies, also review articled were considered to include. We identified 944 studies; of these, 78 met the inclusion criteria, but 44 were excluded. A total 34 articles were included in the analyses. Six articles reported protocol, two-dimensional chart, database, or pH colour code to provide information of incompatibilities. Two-dimensional chart and pH code were comparable with a gold standard. Specific protocol markedly reduced the incompatibility event. Normal saline (NS) flushing effectively prolonged patency and reduced the incompatibility rate. NS was preferred over heparin associated with thrombocytopenia. In-line filtration has been proved to reduce particulate matter, as well as the precipitation, resulted from incompatibility. The filter also reduced inflammation, infection, and complication appreciably. Four studies used more than three lumen catheters which successfully decrease the number of precipitation and incompatibility events. Therefore, separating incompatible drugs using multi-lumens according to the chart should be preferred. However, when co-administration is inevitable, flushing or filter is needed.","PeriodicalId":13520,"journal":{"name":"INDONESIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77986536","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}

A qualitative study with Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) was utilized. Fifteen pharmacists from Kepulauan Riau province were involved. They were purposively selected to include pharmacists from the community pharmacies, hospitals, and community health centers. The FGDs were conducted with Zoom meetings and were recorded. The data were then transcribed and analyzed with inductive content analysis. This study found five themes with 18 sub-themes. The five themes are the roles and efforts of pharmacists in managing medicines, medical devices, and disposable medical materials (personal protective equipment); the roles of pharmacists in providing pharmaceutical care; community behaviors during the pandemic; development of pharmacists’ roles and capacity during the pandemic; and external factors influencing the roles and practice of pharmacists during the pandemic. During the pandemic, pharmacists continued to work according to their previous roles and adjusted their roles and practice in pharmaceutical services to follow changes in community behaviors. This condition also encouraged pharmacists to develop their roles and capacities. The healthcare management team, the government, and the professional organizations influenced their roles, both positively and negatively. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of pharmacist roles and practices during the pandemic. This understanding will be useful for the pharmacist in developing their potential and capability to be involved as healthcare professionals, specifically during the pandemic situation and generally in disaster management.","PeriodicalId":13520,"journal":{"name":"INDONESIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80566950","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}

The quality of teas may vary depending on harvesting location and geographical origins, thus the traceability of teas according to their origins is very essential to assure tea’s quality. Due to economic reasons, high quality tea products may be added with foreign materials or adulterated with low quality ones, as a consequence, some analytical methods have been proposed and developed to quality control of tea. During the recent years, the application of molecular spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, Fluorescence, Near Infrared, Mid Infrared, Raman) in combination with multivariate data analysis has emerged as rapid and reliable analytical tool in the quality control of food, including food authentication. The objective of this review is to update the application of molecular spectroscopy (UV-Vis, fluorescence, infrared and Raman) for the quality control and authentication of tea products either geographical origins issue or detection of potential adulterants. The variables obtained during molecular spectral measurement involve hundreds or thousands of data, which make data analysis rather complex. Fortunately, the specific chemometrics tools can solve the problems arising from big data coming from analyte signals, spectral interferences and overlapping peaks.

The HPTLC profile and the anti-inflammatory properties against cyclooxygenase (COX) and 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) of the frond ethanolic extracts of D. esculentum, D. quercifolia, and A. nidus were determined. The High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) profile was obtained using ethyl acetate: formic acid: water (16:2:2) as mobile phase and Natural Products (NP) as derivatizing reagent. The HPTLC profile of the D. esculentum, D. quercifolia, and A. nidus extracts showed 10 (Rf = 0.02-0.97), 13 (Rf = 0.03-0.90), and 14 (Rf = 0.02-0.99) bands, respectively. The profiles for each fern species may be used as marker for quality evaluation and standardization of herbal formulations containing these plants. For the anti-inflammatory properties, D. esculentum and D. quercifolia extracts which inhibited more than 50% of the COX enzymes showed significantly higher activity than A. nidus and were considered active against COX-2 and COX-1. D. esculentum, however, gave a selectivity ratio (COX-2/COX-1) of 1.03 making its inhibitory activity selective against COX-2. The percent 15-LOX inhibitory activity of D. quercifolia (58.62%) is significantly higher than that of A. nidus (38.70%) but statistically comparable to D. esculentum (51.19%). Among the extracts, D. quercifolia and D. esculentum which inhibited more than 50% of the 15-LOX were considered active. D. esculentum and D. quercifolia can therefore be potential sources of anti-inflammatory lead compounds for future drug development.
