Cocoa pods have scientifically proved to have pharmacological activities. Objective: Standardization of plants to be used as medicine is required to control the quality and ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality. Methods: Data on the standardization parameters of cocoa pods were collected from journals published during the period 2010-2020 by searching in Google, Google Scholar, and Research Gate. Results: Standardization parameters of cocoa pods consisted of macroscopic and microscopic examinations, ash content, solute concentration in solvents, phytochemical screening, and thin layer chromatography. Conclusion: Macroscopic examination showed that the skin of cacao fruit has a brownish-yellow color and purplish red, a specific odor, and a bitter taste with four forms, namely amelonado, angoleta, cundeamor, and calabacil. Microscopic examination showed a collection of stone cells and hair covering. The moisture content of cocoa pods fulfills the requirement which is below 10%. The total ash content is 5.80 - 7.41, and the acid-insoluble ash content is 0.45 - 0.64. The concentration of solute in water is higher than in ethanol with 22.69 and 5.21, respectively. The phytochemical screening showed that cocoa pods have flavonoids, saponins, quinones, tannins, steroids, triterpenoids, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes.

Latest research currently focuses on an approach to cancer therapy that involves specific target molecules and theragnostic (therapy and diagnostic) agents. Among the specific target molecules in cancer therapy is LAT1, which is over expressed in cancer cells but under expressed in normal cells. Therefore, LAT1 inhibition can become an alternative to cancer therapy. A number of studies have shown that JPH203 specifically inhibits LAT1, thus reducing amino acid absorption into cancer cells and inhibiting cancer cell growth. Objective: The main objective of this literature study was to determine the potential of JPH203 as a LAT1 inhibitor to be developed into a novel theragnostic agent for cancer. Methods: Various studies were summarized to outline the development of JPH203 as a therapy targeting LAT1 and potential candidate of theragnostic compounds. Results: The results of the literature study showed that JPH203 as a selective LAT1 inhibitor was able to efficiently suppress the growth of cancer cells with a low IC50 value. Conclusion: The activity of LAT1 as an amino acid transporter of cancer cells could be selectively inhibited by JPH203, thereby allowing JPH203 to be reconsidered as a potential therapy in the development of theragnostic compounds against cancer.

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the physicochemical properties and compare the dissolution profile of amoxicillin caplets available in the market. Methods: Five amoxicillin caplet products, four test products, and one reference product were tested for their physicochemical properties and dissolution. The dissolution test was carried out with a type II device at a speed of 75 rpm in 900 mL of media buffered at pH 1.2, 4.5, and 6.8 and at a temperature of 37 +/- 0.5degrees celcius. The dissolution profile was analyzed by comparing it with the similarity factor (f2) parameters. Results: Two of the four amoxicillin caplet products had a similar dissolution profile to the reference products, namely products A and B.

Artocarpus odoratissimus , commonly known as marang, is an edible fruit found in the southern part of the Philippines. Most of the weight of the fruit is discarded and treated as waste. Objectives: This study aimed to utilize the by-products of marang fruit as a promising pharmaceutical agent by determining the phytochemicals present and in vitro antidiabetic activity of the different parts of the fruit.
