Abstract

ABSTRACT The consumption of tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze), mainly green tea, is famous for various health benefits. This review summarizes the potential use of green tea and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) for breast cancer chemoprevention. The data were retrieved from the online publication on the Pubmed database and covered the phytochemistry, preclinical study, and clinical trial of green tea related to its use as a breast cancer chemopreventive agent. Catechins, particularly EGCG, are the chemopreventive bioactive constituents of green tea. Preclinical studies demonstrated that the anti-proliferative and induction of apoptosis potentials of green tea are mediated through several different mechanisms. However, no association between green tea intake and a lowered breast cancer risk in human studies, but it might be favorable for secondary cancer prevention. Keywords: green tea, epigallocatechin gallate, chemopreventive, breast cancer. ABSTRAK Konsumsi teh (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze), terutama teh hijau, terkenal dengan berbagai manfaat kesehatannya.

Abstract

The scarcity of fuel oil in the future needs to be anticipated by preparing alternative energy. One of the alternative energy sources developed is Jatropha. However, the development of Jatropha should use marginal land as a cultivation area, like a dry land, because the food crops and horticulture use productive land for cultivation. Furthermore, Jatropha development through breeding is an effort to obtain superior varieties as biodiesel producers. This study aimed to determine the best phenotype characteristics of hybrid Jatropha plants as superior candidate trees. This research applied a descriptive qualitative method to determine the characteristics of Jatropha crossing results. The Jatropha characterization was conducted at the experimental garden of Kedung Pengaron Village, Kejayan Sub-district, Pasuruan Regency. The experimental garden was included dry land for Jatropha cultivation. The result showed ten selected genotypes of hybrid Jatropha were found, including 05.01.01, 05.01.02, 05.02.02, 05.02.09, 05.03.17, 05.03.16, 05.04.16, 05.04.15, 06.01.02, 06.01.15. These were based on the two-phase observations, consisting of vegetative and generative observations. The plants’ morphological characters were observed, comprising the stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. In the vegetative phase, diversity was found in the number of leaves, leaf length and age of flowering, while in the qualitative phase, the shoot colors were more diverse. Moreover, less variations were figured out in the color character of the petiole and the number of shoots. These ten genotypes of hybrid Jatropha are the best genotypes that are resistant to drought with selected agronomic characters.

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is a Coronaviridae virus with a single-stranded RNA genome. This virus is highly contagious and spreads rapidly, with mutations occurring at a rapid pace. Various preventive actions have been implemented to prevent the spread of Covid-19 instances. The World Health Organization recommended that everyone clean their hands, masks, and other items in their environment on a frequent basis. As a result of these measures, the virus's transmission will be slowed. Furthermore, keeping one's immune system is critical for limiting the spread of Covid-19. As a result of a weakening immune system, our body's defenses will deteriorate, making us more susceptible to sickness and unable to fight diseases caused by viruses or bacteria. If the immune system is strong, it will recognize and kill viral and bacterial compounds when they are exposed. Immunomodulators, such as natural vitamins and herbs, can help maintain and boost immunity. Indonesia is primarily a farming country. In Indonesia, many different varieties of plants can be grown. Turmeric is an Indonesian medicinal plant that may be found all across the country. Turmeric's ability to act as an immunomodulator has also been proven. As a result, the goal of this study is to determine the usefulness of the active chemicals found in the Curcuma longa plant as a natural immunomodulator in order to avoid mutations of the COVID 19 variation by looking at the background of the current situation. The approach employed in this study is an in silico Molecular Docking test, with the goal of determining the active side of the drug and the value of Binding Affinity from the Docking data. Tissue Pharmacology is used to depict the protein network found in turmeric plants, as well as the substances and diseases that are linked to these proteins. According to the findings, the compound quercetin acts as a ligand for the PIK3CG protein and has a high binding affinity of -7.4. As a result, it can be identified as a substance that acts as a natural immunomodulator in turmeric plants.

Abstract

Typhoid fever is an infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi, spread through contaminated food or water. Typhoid fever can be treated with antibiotics, but at this time some pathogen microbes have been resistant to the available antibiotics. Antimicrobials derived from natural product might be the alternative to overcome antibiotic resistance. Eleutherine palmifolia (L.) Merr is empirically used to treat infectious diseases. E. palmifolia has chemical compounds of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, phenolics, steroids, and tannins. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate fraction against S. typhi. E. palmifolia bulbs were subsequently extracted using n-hexane solvents and followed by ethyl acetate solvents. The ethyl acetate fraction was tested for antibacterial activity using the disc diffusion method. The ethyl acetate fraction of E. palmifolia at the concentrations of 8, 6, and 8 mg/paper disc showed the diameters of the inhibition zone of 15.1±3.6, 15.3±3.3, and 16.9±1.9 mm, respectively. The conclusion of this study was the ethyl acetate fraction of E. palmifolia has a strong antibacterial activity against S. typhi.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer globally and the second leading cause of cancer‐related deaths. The management of colorectal cancer requires consideration of various factors due to the non‐selectivity of drugs, meaning that highly effective treatment with lower side effects is needed. Black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) contains thymoquinone and various other metabolites with potential as anticancer effects. The involvement of various genes and the difficulty of drug development have led to a ashift in the drug development paradigm towards plant‐based medicine that is both multicomponent and synergistic in supporting the resulting pharmacological effects. Network pharmacology can predict the synergistic effect of a multicomponent approach. This study aimed to predict the network pharmacology of black cumin as a candidate for OMAI (“Obat Modern Asli Indonesia”, Indonesian‐origin modern medicine) in colorectal cancer. This research was an in silico study using various ethnobotanical databases and software. The results show that seven metabolites in black cumin are correlated with ten surface receptor proteins, 30 intracellular proteins, and mechanisms involving six colorectal cancer signaling pathways. This result indicates that Nigella sativa L. has potential in OMAI and can be a reference for the development of cancer treatment, especially for colorectal cancer.

Abstract

Soluble ST2, is a protein which acts as a decoy receptor for interleukin-33, and served as biomarker associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).  Few data exist in evaluating the effects of anti-hypertensive agents on the role-played form ST2 on regression of LVH. This study was designed to compare the effects of captopril and valsartan on blood pressures, plasma renin and soluble ST2 levels and regression of LVH in hypertensive mice models. Twenty-four male mice (Mus musculus L), were divided into four groups, namely aquadest/control, L-NAME, L-NAME + captopril and L-NAME + valsartan groups respectively. Mice blood pressures were measured on day 14th after induction with L-NAME extract 1.75 mg/25 g BW/day (pretreatment) and day 14th post treatment. Levels of plasma renin, sST2, and ventricular wall thicknesses reflecting LVHs, were measured on day 14th post treatment. Administration of L-NAME within 14 days resulted in making mice models to be hypertensive paralleled by an increase of Ventricular wall thickness. Treatment with captopril and valsartan lowered the blood pressures to normal level within the next 14 days. Valsartan and captopril treatment induced a significant decrease of plasma renin level. Valsartan, but not for captopril treatment prevented wall thickness increase (p < 0.05), while plasma sST2 was not able to mirroring this effect. Captopril and valsartan had similar effect in lowering plasma renin level and   blood pressure, but sST2 seems to be not involved in LVH regression obtained in hypertensive mice models after blocking renin-angiotensin system.
