Objective: to analyze the frequency of minor alleles of the OCT1 coding gene (SLC22A1 rs628031) and MATE1 coding gene (SLC47A1 rs2289669) as well as the genotypic variation of the interaction of these two genetic polymorphisms in healthy subjects of Indonesia. Material and Methods: Through inclusion criteria, the study employed an observational descriptive technique with 70 Indonesian Javanese healthy individuals. Subject health information was obtained from the complete blood routine test, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase/ serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGOT/SGPT), complete urine test, and serum creatinine tests. All data were compared to the normal range. Results: The finding shows that the minor allele frequency on SLC22A1 rs628031 A>G and SLC47A1 rs2289669 G>A respectively at 53% and 36%. There are four SLC22A1 rs628031 and SLC47A1 rs2289669 genetic polymorphism interactions; 16 Wt/Wt (16.75%), 24 Wt/M (25%), 32 M/Wt (33.3%) and 24 M/M (25%). The discovery demonstrates that such minor allele frequencies of the SLC22A1 rs628031 OCT1 and SLC47A1 rs2289669 MATE1 genes in healthy Indonesian subjects are relatively high. The SLC22A1 rs628031 A>G and SLC47A1 rs2289669 G>A respectively at 53% and 36%, almost the same as the minor allele frequencies found in several other Asian countries eg. India, Japan, and China. Conclusions: OCT1 coding genes (SLC22A1 rs628031 A>G) were found more dominant than MATE1 coding genes (SLC47A1 rs2289669 G>A) and both alleles are relatively high in healthy subjects of Indonesia, which can be used as information to explore the consequences of different genes' interactions on the Indonesian pharmacokinetic properties, and the efficacy variations of metformin in Type2 DM patients.","PeriodicalId":206667,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Farmasi Galenika (Galenika Journal of Pharmacy) (e-Journal)","volume":"66 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139526851","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}

HCV is an RNA virus that infects the human liver and can lead to chronic liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. Treatment for HCV infection has made rapid advancements in recent years, particularly with the development of more effective antiviral drugs. One of the drugs used in HCV therapy is dasabuvir. Dasabuvir is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitor that functions to inhibit the replication of the HCV virus. The RdRp enzyme in HCV is represented by NS5B, and dasabuvir specifically targets this enzyme. Several reports have revealed mutations in HCV NS5B due to the use of dasabuvir. This study conducted a computational mutation analysis on NS5B of HCV resulting from dasabuvir usage. The research findings indicate that mutations in the HCV polymerase induced by dasabuvir usage lead to changes in dasabuvir's conformation and binding energy. Some mutations decrease binding energy, such as mutations C316N, C451S, and N411S. However, on the other hand, there are mutations that increase binding energy, such as M414V, A553V, and C445F. The decrease in binding energy is supported by increased hydrogen bonding interactions with Asp318, Gln446, and Tyr448, as well as the formation of new hydrogen bonds, such as hydrogen bonding with Ser288 in C451S and Arg200 in C451S. Meanwhile, the increase in binding energy is supported by decreased binding interactions with Asp318 and pi-pi interactions with Phe193. Hydrogen bonding with Asn291 also decreases, as seen in A553V, and is even lost in C445F. Future work will be devoted for designing new dasabuvir derivatives which having better affinited to NS5B of HCV.","PeriodicalId":206667,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Farmasi Galenika (Galenika Journal of Pharmacy) (e-Journal)","volume":"111 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139614133","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}

Results: The highest percentage yields was obtained from the extract with ethanol solvent, followed by distilled water, ethyl acetate and n-hexane. The highest extraction techniques was obtained from reflux and followed by maceration and sonication extracts. Analytical factorial design analysis showed that the linearity of solvent variation and extraction technique had a significant effect (P>0.05).

We checked that the methods used such as solid dispersion, cocrystal formation, and coamorphous can increase the solubility of API which has an impact on increasing bioavailability. The successful formation of solid dispersions, cocrystals and coamorphs can be confirmed by the characterization of PXRD, DSC and SEM.
