The mechanism of action of these activities is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the immunostimulatory effect of ethanol extract of B. medicinalis on an in vivo model by measuring the macrophage phagocytotic activity and cytokine production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) on male mice and rats, respectively. The extract was obtained by the maceration method for 3 × 24 h using 70% ethanol. The doses of the extract were 60, 120, and 240 mg/kg body weight (bw). The percentage of macrophage phagocytosis and the TNF-α, and IFN-γ levels were measured on the eighth day, one hour after intraperitoneal injection of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The result showed that ethanol extract of B. medicinalis activated macrophage phagocytosis in a dose-dependent manner, with a significant increase in cytokine expression of TNF-α and IFN-γ. The optimal dose was 240 mg/kg bw, with a higher percentage of phagocytic activity and higher levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ than Stimuno® as a positive control and other dosage treatments. This study suggests that B. medicinalis ethanol extract has the effect of an immunomodulator and provides a scientific basis for traditional usage of this herb plant.","PeriodicalId":13520,"journal":{"name":"INDONESIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81620395","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 active antimicrobial compounds derived from marine microorganisms were identified using GC-MS such as pyrrolo [1,2-a] pyrazine-1,4-dione, octatriacontyl pentafluoropropionate. We found that some marine bacillus showed antimicrobial activity, such as B. flexus, B. tequilensis, B subtilis, and Bacillus sp. Profiling of metabolites on GC-MS showed the presence of several bioactive compounds in the ethyl acetate extract, which were identified to be nitrogen compounds such as pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione, phthalates compounds (butyl isohexyl ester and 1,2 benzendicarboxilate bis (2-etilhexyl) ester), and dibutyl phthalate. Some phenolic compounds also were found, such as tris (2,4-di-ter-butilfenil) fosfat, phenol, 2,4-bis (1,1-dimethyl ethyl), and phenol 3,5-bis (1,1-dimethyl ethyl).

DLBS1033N, a protein hydrolysate obtained from Lumbricus rubellus, has been confirmed to promote Schwann cell line RSC96 growth and survival by induction Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) expression via phosphatidylinositol-3‑kinase (PI3K) pathway. This pathway has an important contribution against Schwann cell proliferation and migration. Herein, the contribution of DLBS1033N to peripheral regeneration on high-glucose (50mM)-induced rat Schwann cell line RSC96 injury, a well-known DPN in vitro cell model.

Furthermore, DLBS1033N 100μg/ml significantly promoted cell migration by 16% in 48 H incubation (p < 0.05) determined by scratch assay, as the beneficial action to accomplish peripheral regeneration.

The purpose of this study was to identify bovine gelatin in soft candy products using specific primers with real-time PCR methods. The specific DNA primer design is done with PRIMERQUEST and NCBI software and subjected to primer-basic local alignment search tool (BLAST). Analysis for the primer specificity was performed on fresh tissue (cows, pigs, dogs, chickens, goats, and rats) and gelatin sources (beef and pork). RT-PCR method using primer mitochondrial Cytochrome B gene was applied to analyze candies purchased from the market. The method is expected to be specific, sensitive, and reliable for analyzing bovine DNA in candy products. Amplification was also performed on soft candy reference from bovine gelatin. A sensitivity test was performed by measuring amplification at six dilution series (10000, 5000, 1000, 500, 50, and 10 pg) on bovine gelatin candies. The results show that the real-time PCR with primer mitochondrial cytochrome-B gene specifically able to identify the presence of bovine DNA in fresh tissue and gelatin sources at optimum annealing temperature 55,2°C.

This study aims to assess enoxaparin's efficacy across different severity levels by examining its effect on primary outcomes comprising Length of stay (LOS), invasive mechanical ventilation, and mortality as well as secondary in the form of D-dimer, platelets, C-reactive protein (CRP), Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC). During hospitalization, 269 patients received enoxaparin across varying severity levels comprising mild, moderate, and severe, while the Wilcoxon test was used to analyze the efficacy in each group. Additionally, the differences in patient characteristic profiles across the severity levels were determined using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The increase in mortality rate and the need for mechanical ventilation were directly proportional to the level of severity.

The production of jatropha oil generates a byproduct in the form of jatropha seed meal, which contains compounds with cytotoxic activity and phorbol esters, as co-carcinogens and tumor promoters. Meanwhile, metastasis is one of the characteristics of cancer where the cells spread to another tissue. This study aimed to determine the potential of jatropha seed meal as a chemoprevention agent, particularly an antimetastatic one, under bioinformatic study and molecular docking. Genecards and DAVID were performed to explore the protein involved in the metastatic process and its gene ontology. The prediction target protein was caught by SwissTargetPrediction. Jatropha seed meal showed the presence of isoamericanol A, myricetin, daidzein, gallic acid, and rutin. There are 11 prediction target proteins correlated to metastatic in extracellular matrix components. Then we were docked to a protein involved in metastasis, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 (PDB ID: 6ESM) using MOE software. The docking score determined the interaction properties. The docking analysis revealed that isoamericanol A, daidzein, and myricetin exhibited better binding affinity than native ligands and other compounds. Moreover, based on our literature study, the jatropha seed meal contains isoamericanol A, rutin, myricetin, daidzein, and gallic acid, which present anticancer properties by inhibition of cell invasion and migration, cell cycle arrest induction, and suppression of the MMP-9 activity. Overall, jatropha seed meal has potential as an antimetastatic agent.

Meanwhile, the C-alkylcalix[4]pyrogallolarenes were prepared from a cyclization reaction of pyrogallol with pentanaldehyde or octanaldehyde. Four synthesized products, i.e. nBu-CR, nHep-CR, nBu-CP, and nHep-CP, were successfully prepared in 92.4-96.4% yield. The chemical structure of these products was elucidated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) analysis. The antioxidant activity assay of these compounds was evaluated through an in vitro assay employing 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. From the DPPH assay, it was found that the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of nBu-CR, nHep-CR, nBu-CP, and nHep-CP compounds were 25.1, 22.9, 11.5, and 21.9 µg mL-1, respectively. The IC50 value of the synthesized compounds was 2.0-4.3 times lower than the IC50 value of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as the positive standard (49.9 µg mL-1), which is remarkable. This finding demonstrates that either C-alkylcalix[4]resorcinarenes or C-alkylcalix[4]pyrogallolarenes are better antioxidant agents than BHT.
