Abstract

The kidneys are a pair of symmetrical organs that function to filter the blood and are located in the retroperitoneal region on the posterior wall of the abdomen. The kidneys are drained about 25% of cardiac output. Kidney damage due to the accumulation of kidney stones can be caused by ethylene glycol substances to form calcium oxalate crystals (CaC2O4). This crystal is common in urine specimens even in healthy animals. Crystal formation can be accelerated by the administration of ammonium chloride. This study aims to determine the nephroprotective effects of balakka ethanol extract to reduce creatinine and urea levels in rats induced by ethylene glycol and ammonium chloride. The results showed that the balakka ethanol extract with a dose variation of 50 mg/kg body weight, 100 mg/kg body weight, and 150 mg/kg body weight had nephroprotective activity in rats that had been induced by ethylene glycol and ammonium chloride. Where the induction group had the largest serum creatinine mean of 1.43 mg/dl. The EEB treatment group dose of 50 mg / kgBB had a serum creatinine value of 1.01 mg / dl. The EEB treatment group dose of 100 mg / kgBB had a serum value of 0.91 mg / dl. The balakka ethanol extract treatment group dose of 150 mg / kgBB had a serum value of 0.73 mg / dl. The induction group had the largest serum urea serum of 76.56 mg/dl. EEB treatment group dose of 50 mg / kgBB had serum urea value of 63.36 mg / dl.

Abstract

Skin aging processes are divided into chronological aging and premature aging. Premature aging is generally caused by free radicals, from both air pollution and photoaging. Natural compounds from plant extracts are among sources of antioxidants and anti-hyaluronidase which have the ability to prevent antiaging. One of the potential fruits related to antioxidant and antiaging activities is Anana scomosus. A. comosus has a number of phenolic compounds with biological activities. One of the main phenolic compounds in A. comosus is luteolin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and antiaging potentials of Pineapple Core Extract (PCE). This study was conducted at the Biomolecular and Biomedicine Research Center, Aretha Medika Utama from August to November 2018. Analysis of antioxidants from PCE and luteolin was carried out using H2O2 scavenging activity assay. The antiaging assay was carried out through inhibition of hyaluronidase enzyme, one of the important enzymes in the aging process. Luteolin had lower IC50 value of H2O2 scavenging activity of around 24.12±3.13 μg/ml, which was better than CPE with IC50 of 304.56±3.76μg/mL. The results of hyaluronidase inhibition activity assay showed that luteolin compound had a lower IC50 value of 67.38±3.99 μg/mL when compared to PCE with an IC50 value of 161.15±1.05 μg/mL. Hence, Luteolin has higher antioxidant and anti-hyaluronidase activities than PCEPerbandingan Aktivitas Antioksidan dan Antihialuronidase Ekstrak Bonggol Buah Nanas (EBN) dengan Senyawa LuteolinTerdapat dua jenis proses penuaan kulit, penuaan kronologis dan penuaan dini. Penuaan dini umumnya disebabkan oleh radikal bebas, baik dari polusi udara maupun photoaging.

Abstract

Free radicals and UV exposure can cause aging. Aging prevention needs substances that can prevent molecular oxidation reactions in cells and inhibit the activity of enzymes that trigger aging. Research on pineapple skin and flesh extract (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) reported the presence of luteolin compound which functions as antioxidants and antityrosinase. However, in this study, the object used was pineapple core extract (PCE), which has not been widely known for its antioxidant and antityrosinase activity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the content of phytochemical compounds, antioxidant activity, and inhibitory activity of tyrosinase enzymes by PCE and then compared with the luteolin (LT) compound test results using Fansworth method, DPPH scavenging activity assay and tyrosinase enzyme inhibition assay. Based on the study results, the phytochemical compounds contained in PCE were tannins and triterpenoids.  PCE and LT produced the highest DPPH scavenging activity, which was 64.86% and 59.32% (final concentration 200μg/ml and 6.25μg/ml) and the highest tyrosinase inhibition activity, which was 60.52% and 85.02% (final concentration 100 μg/ml). Antioxidant activity was determined based on IC50 of 87.46µg/mL and 4.17 µg/ml respectively. IC50 tyrosinase enzyme inhibition EBN and LT respectively at 62.27µg/ml and 5.25 µg/ml. Antioxidant activity through DPPH free radical scavenging test and tyrosinase enzyme inhibition activity by PCE was lower than LT.

Abstract

Aging is a natural process in human life and is triggered by the presence of free radicals (ROS). The use of antioxidants from natural ingredients is one of the breakthroughs to overcome aging and counteract the harmful effects caused by the free radicals. This study aimed to determine and compare the antioxidant activity of H2O2 scavenging and hyaluronidase inhibition of red dragon fruit peel extract (DFPE) and kaempferol-3-o-rutinoside (KOR) compounds. Dragon fruit peel extract (DFPE) is obtained through extraction by maceration method using 70% ethanol solvent. The design of this study included antioxidant and anti-aging activity assay of EKBN and KOR at the series concentration of 15.63; 31.25; 62.50; 125; 250; 500 µg/mL through H2O2 scavenging, as well as the DFPE and KOR hyaluronidase inhibition assay at the series concentration of 5.21; 10.42; 20.83; 41.7; 83.33; 166.67 µg/mL. EKBN shows that the average activity of H2O2 scavenging is lower than KOR. In addition, the IC50 values of KOR for H2O2 scavenging is lower (351.46±2.30ug/mL) than DFPE (409.64±23.17ug/mL). While, KOR also has higher values of inhibitory activity than of the DFPE. However, the IC50 value of KOR for hyaluronidase inhibition activity was 84.07±10.46µg/mL, equivalent to the IC50 value of DFPE (85.32±10.24µg/mL). The presence of antioxidant and anti-aging activity in the EKBN is probably caused by betalain and the KOR compound itself contained in red dragon fruit. The results of the paired-samples T-test on antioxidant activity and anti-aging of DFPE and KOR showed non-significant difference. Thus, DFPE has an equivalent antioxidant and anti-aging through H2O2 scavenging and hyaluronidase activity as possessed by the KOR compound.

Abstract

Free radicals are known as a leading factor in aging. Nitric oxide (NO) and O2•- have been shown to inhibit the synthesis of matrix components and stimulate prolidase activities involved in collagen degradation. Hydroxyl (•OH) radical is a precursor of hyaluronic acid degradation. Antioxidants act as a scavenger for free radicals, creating a possibility to use them to prevent the aging process. Black soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) contain bioactive compounds that have the ability to scavenge free radicals, including daidzein. Daidzein belongs to the isoflavones group which is the most active compound in black soybean. This study aimed to understand the antioxidant activities of the black soybean extract (BSE) and daidzein compound in the scavenging of •OH and NO radicals and was performed at the Aretha Medika Utama-Biomolecular and Biomedical Research Center (BBRC), Bandung, Indonesia, from September to November 2018. The scavenging activity of •OH was assessed using the deoxyribose method, while the assessment of the scavenging of NO radicals was carried out using the sodium nitroprusside method. BSE and daidzein had an •OH scavenging activity with an IC50 value of 71.07 μg/mL, followed by daidzein with 24.57 μg/mL. A higher NO scavenging activity was seen in BSE with an IC50 of 71.60 μg/mL followed by daidzein with 35.68 μg/mL. Daidzein has a higher antioxidant activity through hydroxyl and nitric oxide scavenging compared to Glycine max (L.) Merr. extract. Hence, daidzein has a higher potential as an anti-aging agent based on the free-radical theory of aging. Aktivitas Antioksidan Ekstrak Kedelai Hitam (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) dan Daidzein sebagai Pemerangkap Hidroksil dan Nitrogen MonoksidaRadikal bebas dikenal sebagai faktor utama penuaan. Nitrogen monoksida (NO) dan O2•- telah terbukti menghambat sintesis komponen matriks dan merangsang aktivitas prolidase yang terlibat dalam degradasi kolagen. Radikal hidroksil (•OH) adalah prekursor dari degradasi asam hialuronat. Antioksidan bertindak sebagai pemerangkap radikal bebas sehingga dapat digunakan untuk mencegah proses penuaan. Kedelai hitam (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) mengandung senyawa bioaktif yang mampu memerangkap radikal bebas, salah satunya adalah daidzein. Daidzein termasuk dalam kelompok isoflavon yang merupakan senyawa paling aktif dalam kedelai hitam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas antioksidan, pemerangkapan •OH dan NO dari ekstrak etanol kedelai hitam (BSE) dan senyawa daidzein. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama bulan September sampai dengan November tahun 2018 di Laboratorium Aretha Medika Utama Biomolecular and Biomedical Research Center (BBRC) Bandung. Pemerangkapan •OH dilakukan dengan metode deoksiribosa, sedangkan pemerangkapan radikal NO dilakukan dengan metode menghitung natrium nitroprusida. BSE dan daidzein memiliki aktivitas pemerangkapan •OH dengan nilai IC50 71,07 μg/mL diikuti oleh daidzein 24,57 μg/mL. Aktivitas pemerangkapan NO pada BSE ditunjukkan dengan IC50 71,60 μg/mL sementara daidzein 35,68 μg/mL. Daidzein memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang lebih tinggi berdasarkan pemerangkapan •OH dan NO dibanding BSE. Oleh karena itu, daidzein memiliki potensi lebih sebagai antiaging menurut teori penuaan akibat radikal bebas.
