Abstract

It is estimated that 6% of the US population suffer from diabetes with 15% of them experience diabetic foot. Several studies have explored the various benefits of sea cucumber for human being, including its antioxidant nature. This study aimed to investigate the effect of surf redfish, one species of the sea cucumbers, in diabetic wound healing. This was an animal experimental study performed at the Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Tjut Nyak Dhien Medan, Indonesia, during the period of February- July 2019. Twenty five mice in diabetic condition were divided into five groups: control, standard, ethanol extract of surf redfish-1, ethanol extract of surf redfish-2, and ethanol extract of surf redfish-3 3. The surf redfish was obtained from Lamreh Village in Aceh and the ethanol was extracted using the maceration method. The parameters used for evaluating the efficacy of surf redfish ethanol extract were blood glucose level, length of wound incision, and histopathological features. Surf redfish extract presented a significant reduction of blood glucose level which that followed the increase in the dose of the ethanol extract (p-value <0.05) where the most significant reduction was seen in the group with the highest dose on the last day. This trend was also seen for the length of the wound, where the reduction was significantly higher in treatment groups when compared to control (p-value <0.05). The histological study also confirmed the improvement in the clinical appearance of wound by showing significantly increased fibroblast cell number and collagen density (p-value <0.05). Overall, the surf redfish can help better incision's wound healing in diabetic condition.

Abstract

The potential utilization of flavonoid compounds, especially scutellarin, and apigenin, contained in basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) leaf extract to manage the aging effects on the skin, that occurs because of over-activated hyaluronidase enzyme and oxidative stress due to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) radicals, is not well known. This study was conducted to assess the H2O2 scavenging activity and the inhibition of hyaluronidase from scutellarin and apigenin at various concentrations. The study was conducted by measuring H2O2 scavenging inhibition and hyaluronidase inhibition of scutellarin and apigenin in various concentrations using the spectrophotometry method. The various activity was tested using the One-Way ANOVA test followed by Tukey post hoc test. IC50 values were calculated based on linear regression equations of H2O2 scavenging inhibition and hyaluronidase inhibition. The analysis showed the highest H2O2 scavenging activity was found in scutellarin with IC50 158.76 μg/mL. Scutellarin has greater scavenging activity than apigenin. Hyaluronidase inhibition of scutellarin with IC50 35.25 µg/mL, while apigenin was 162.86 µg/mL. Scutellarin has higher hyaluronidase inhibition activity than apigenin. Antioxidant and antiaging effects of basil leaf extract caused by phytochemical compounds contained, especially scutellarin.
