Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is a major health problem in developed and developing countries and still be the first rank causing death in the world, including Indonesia. Most of cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis. Macrophage apoptosis can reduce the size of atherogenic lesions and the progression of atherosclerotic plaque formation. Proapopstosis effects on macrophages owned by flavonoids. This study aims to know the potential of flavonoids found in Citrus grandis extract which works by suppressing the phosphorylation of AKT Ser473 so that the formation of foam cells (foam call) can be minimized. The research sample is 38 male Wistar rats weighing 90-150 grams. Samples were divided into 5 groups. All groups except normal control group were induced atherosclerosis by utilizing the shear stress mechanism at the branch of the abdominal aorta. Shear stress created by injecting adrenaline i.v. followed by hyperlipidemic diet (egg yolk) for 3 weeks. Then, during the next two weeks, the positive control group treated with simvastatin, while the treatment group were treated with extracts of C. grandis (ECG) known to contains flavonoids. Macroscopic showed that ECG could reduce atherosclerotic lesions. of citrus grandis. The sample data captured in the form of mouse blood and abdominal aortic tissues. Based on the results of the TLC screening, Ethanolic Extrxct Meanwhile, the group given simvastatin as a positive control also showed fewer atherosclerotic lesions. ECG proven to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels of rats that had been induced atherosclerosis. Award ECG doses of 500 and 1000 mg/kg showed a significant decrease in cholesterol (p <0.01) compared to the negative control group. ECG is proven to reduce atherosclerotic lesions, so that ECG can be used as an adjuvant for simvastatin to achieve maximal therapeutic effect against atherosclerosis.

Abstract

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million deaths each year. Doxorubicin is a well-known chemotherapy drug which frequently used in treating various types of cancer. However,  doxorubicin posesses several side effects including cardiotoxic, hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, and immunosuppression. One of the natural product that can be used as an adjuvant of doxorubicin to reduce the toxic effects is garlic chives (Allium tuberosum). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Allium tuberosum based on hematological profile, levels of CD4+, CD8+, and MDA serum of male Wistar rats which induced by doxorubicin. The hematological profile was analyzes by blood smear, levels of CD4+ and CD8+ were conducted by flowcytometry and levels of MDA serum were determined by spectrofotometry. The results showed that the etanolic extract of Allium tuberosum (EAT) increased neutrophil and lymphocyte, percentage of CD4+ cells (p<0.01) and CD8+ cells. It also decreased the levels of serum MDA (p<0.01). These results indicated that EAT work as immunostimulant possibly through an antioxidant mechanism (MDA). It can be concluded that EAT can be developed as adjuvant for doxorubicin.Keywords: doxorubicin, Allium tuberosum, immunostimulant, antioxidant, CD4+, CD8+

Abstract

Cancer is the most leading disease that cause of death. Doxorubicin chemotherapy is often used in cancer treatment, because of its effectiveness. Although doxorubicin has a positive effect for killing cancer cell, doxorubicin has many side effects, one of which doxorubicin can cause kidney damage through the process of interstitial fibrosis. Utilization garlic chives extract as co chemotherapy to reduce renal damage induced by doxorubicin is a prospective opportunities. This study aimed to analyze the effect of garlic chives extract as a nephroprotective on levels of BUN and creatinine of wistar rats induced by doxorubicin. The research method was quasi experimental design with post test only randomized controlled group. The results showed that extracts of garlic chives can reduce levels of BUN and creatinine (p <0.05) in the group that only induced by doxorubicin. In conclusion, extract of garlic chives has nephroprotecive effects on wistar rats which were induced by doxorubicin.

Abstract

Objective: High number of antibiotic resistance cases in livestock will impact on increasing cases of microbe’s infection. On the other hand, the use of synthetic antibiotics is currently limited. A possible alternative can be used is the utilization of foods that possess medicinal effects (nutraceuticals). The use of animal feed sourced from Diptera larvae has been increasing widely, due to its high protein content. In addition, it is comprised of nutraceuticals as antimicrobial peptides like lucifensin. This study aimed at determining the potential of lucifensin as a nutraceutical product for livestock based on bioinformatics study.Methods: This study is descriptive research. The lucifensin protein data was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The protein relationship analysis was performed using Blast-NCBI and lipinski Rules of 5 (Ro5) analysis to determine its potential as an oral drug (bioavailability). The molecular docking was used Swiss Docking online with lucifensin as target protein and Lipoteichoic Acid (LTAs) of Staphyllococus aureus as ligand.Results: The relationship analysis results showed that the lucifensin protein was related to two proteins of the other orders of diptera such as phormicin and sapecin. This protein belongs to the defensin protein family in which its coding genes are conserved until the order level. The Ro5 results showed that the mass of lucifensin protein was 312 daltons, its high lippopolycity was -0.5, it has five hydrogen bond donors, six hydrogen bond acceptors, and its molar refractivity was 77.14. Toxicity test also showed that this protein is classified as a safe component, and the docking results illustrate a strong energy bond that plays an important role in antimicrobial activity.Conclusions: In conclusion, lucifensin protein in the Lucilia sp. larvae is potential to be used as a livestock nutraceutical source that acts as an antimicrobial peptide.
