Antioxidants are chemical compounds that donate one or more electrons to free radicals to inhibit free radical reactions. One of the potential antioxidant sources is gandaria fruit (Bouea Macrophylla Griff). This research aims to determine the antioxidant activity and vitamin C content of the gandaria fruit extract. Gandaria fruit was macerated with ethanol as a solvent. Furthermore, the rotated extract was carried out for the phytochemical screening. The results of the phytochemical screening of the gandaria fruit extract showed a positive of flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, and phenolics. The gandaria fruit extract was tested for antioxidants and quantitative analysis of vitamin C levels to obtain IC50 values and vitamin C levels using spectrophotometry UV-Vis at a wavelength of 517nm with vitamin C as a positive control. The results of spectrophotometric measurements revealed that the gandaria fruit extract had an IC50 value of 5.72 g/ml, and vitamin C had an IC50 value of 2.260 g/ml, indicating that the gandaria fruit extract and vitamin C had very strong antioxidants. The value of vitamin C levels was 0.526 mg.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive blood disorder characterized by red blood cells that assume an abnormal, rigid sickle shape under low-oxygen conditions. These sickle-shaped erythrocytes tend to lyse, aggregate, and obstruct small blood vessels, leading to major complications. The present study aims to investigate properties that may underlie the activity of Drepanoalphaâ, an antisickling herbal formulation developed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for the prevention and symptomatic treatment of sickle cell disease crises. The Drepanoalpha® Ethanolic Extract (DEE) is a dry extract (drug-extract ratio, DER, 100/11) prepared from ethanol (96 %, v/v) percolation of a 1:1 mixture of 2 food plants, Justicia secunda Vahl and Moringa oleifera Lam. Sickling was classically measured by light microscopy on diluted washed erythrocytes obtained from homozygote patients; erythrocytes were treated with 2 % Na2S2O5 in the presence of DEE (suspension in 9 ‰ NaCl), 9 ‰ NaCl (negative control) or disodium cromoglycate (DSCG, positive control). For all tested conditions, the sickle hemoglobin polymerization, the Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio, and the median corpuscular fragility were measured by spectrophotometry. The DEE reversed sickling by 89.1 %, comparable to DSCG (87.7 %; 60.3 µg/mL), inhibiting sickle cell hemoglobin polymerization of 77.8 % and 74.4 %, respectively. The Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio was improved by 18.0 % for DEE and 15.9 % for DSCG. The median corpuscular fragility values were 0.602, 0.714, and 0.732 for NaCl 9 ‰, DSCG, and DEE, respectively. The measured in vitro parameters validate an effective antisickling effect of DEE and confirm the value of this improved traditional herbal formulation for the management of SCD.
镰状细胞病(SCD)是一种常染色体隐性血液疾病，其特征是红细胞在低氧条件下呈异常的刚性镰状。这些镰状红细胞易于溶解、聚集并阻塞小血管，导致主要并发症。本研究的目的是研究drepanoalpha的活性特性，drepanoalpha是刚果民主共和国(DRC)开发的一种抗镰状细胞病的草药配方，用于镰状细胞病的预防和对症治疗。Drepanoalpha®乙醇提取物(DEE)是一种干提取物(药浸比，DER, 100/11)，由2种食用植物Justicia secunda Vahl和Moringa oleifera Lam的1:1混合物的乙醇(96%，v/v)渗透制备。典型的镰状细胞计数方法是用光镜对从纯合子患者获得的稀释水洗红细胞进行测量;用2% Na2S2O5在DEE(悬浮在9‰NaCl中)、9‰NaCl(阴性对照)或cromoglycate二钠(DSCG，阳性对照)存在下处理红细胞。在所有测试条件下，用分光光度法测定镰状血红蛋白聚合、Fe2+/Fe3+比和中位红细胞脆性。DEE逆转镰状病变率为89.1%，与DSCG (87.7%;60.3µg/mL)，抑制镰状细胞血红蛋白聚合率分别为77.8%和74.4%。DEE和DSCG的Fe2+/Fe3+比分别提高了18.0%和15.9%。NaCl 9‰、DSCG和DEE的中位脆性值分别为0.602、0.714和0.732。测定的体外参数验证了DEE有效的抗镰状细胞病作用，并证实了这一改进的传统草药配方对SCD治疗的价值。

Oxidative stress is characterized by an imbalance in the generation of free radicals and their subsequent elimination by endogenous antioxidants. It is a characteristic of several diseases, especially during the progression stage, which can lead to fatal effects. This study aims to investigate the phytochemical components and antioxidant capability of Tamarindus indica and assess its capability as a candidate for managing diseases associated with oxidative stress. The gravimetric method detected and quantified phytochemicals, while the reducing power assay determined the antioxidant potential. Saponins, steroids, and flavonoids were detected in 6.83 ±0.44, 4.30 ±0.60, and 10.17% ±0.60, respectively, without alkaloids, glycosides, and terpenoids. The antioxidant test showed a concentration-dependent increase in absorbance of both the extract and standard (Ascorbic acid). However, Ascorbic acid had higher absorbance. At 100% concentration, the sample had an absorbance of 0.388 ±0.022, which was lower than the absorbance of Ascorbic acid (0.411 ±0.009) at 40% concentration. It can be concluded that Tamarind leaves could be utilized to manage diseases associated with oxidative stress, evidenced by their antioxidant potential credited to the phytochemical content of the leaves. However, there is a need for further studies to ascertain the exact compounds and their modes of action.

Lemongrass (Cymbogoncitratus (DC.) Stapf) leaves contain alkaloids, saponins, tannins, anthraquinones, steroids, phenols and flavonoids. Flavonoids act as antioxidants as they can reduce free radicals. This study aims to determine the total flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, and IC50 value of lemongrass leaf extract (Cymbogoncitratus (DC.) Stapf). Extracts were made by maceration using 96% ethanol as solvent. Testing of total flavonoid content with the AlCl3 method using UV-Vis spectrophotometry was carried out three times. The antioxidant activity test used the FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) method on extracts containing 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ppm. The test results showed that the leaf extract of citronella (Cymbogoncitratus (DC.) Stapf) had a total flavonoid content of 22,60 mg QE/g extract. Furthermore, there was antioxidant activity in the leaf extract of lemongrass (Cymbogoncitratus (DC.) Stapf indicated by the formation of a blue color purplish when reacted with FRAP solution, and IC50 extract value was 71,59 ppm and included in the category of strong antioxidants.

Methotrexate (MTX) usage, despite its toxicity in body organs, has increased steadily over the years due to its broad applicability for treating different ailments, including various forms of cancer. Certain plant species have been shown to possess therapeutic properties by offering a protective effect against drug side effects. Thus, the current study was carried out to evaluate the potential of aqueous Chromolaena odorata leaf extract (AEOC) to attenuate the effect of MTX-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats. The study divided thirty (30) male Wistar rats into five groups consisting of six each: Group I (control), Group II (AEOC at 250 mg/kg BW), Group III (MTX at 7 mg/kg BW), Group IV (AEOC at 250 mg/kg BW + MTX at 7 mg/kg BW), and Group V (Vitamin C (100 mg/kg BW) + MTX at 7 mg/kg BW). Chromolaena odorata and Vitamin C was administered for ten consecutive days, while MTX was administered on day 8 for three consecutive days. Rats were sacrificed 24hrs after the last administration. Serum collected was used for the determination of Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT), Albumin (ALB), Total Bilirubin (TB), and Total protein (TP), while liver tissue was used for assessment of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Catalase (CAT) as well as histopathological analysis. The result showed a significant increase in the level of SOD, CAT and a significant reduction in MDA in Chromolaena odorata or Vitamin C treated groups compared with MTX. Furthermore, Chromolaena odorata or Vitamin C significantly reduced liver function enzymes and Total Bilirubin levels while increasing synthetic molecules compared to the MTX group. Chromolaena odorata attenuated the toxic effect of MTX, which was corroborated by histopathological analysis. In conclusion, Chromolaena odorata attenuated MTX-induced hepatotoxicity by enhancing antioxidant status; thus, scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress.

Cengkir Mango (Mangifera indica L) is a variety of mango known in the northern part of West Java and widely used as food, beverage, and natural-based pharmaceutical product. This fruit is potentially used as body scrub ingredients due to its richness in polyphenols contain. This study aims to formulate natural-based body scrub using the Cengkir Mango as an active ingredient. The formulation was divided into 3 groups with different concentrations of mango fruit flour, respectively 35, 46, and 50 grams (F1, F2, and F3). The product evaluation included homogeneity, stability, pH, and hedonic test. The organoleptic of body scrub indicated mango scent and light brownish-darker colors, responding to an increase of concentration for each formulation. The homogeneity test showed that the body scrub had no granulation of mango flour. The evaluation of pH showed the product had pH respectively at 7.5, 7.5, and 7.0 (F1, F2, and F3). These results indicated that the body scrub had good physical properties. Investigation of body scrub stability was used to evaluate the fragrance, color, and consistency of the formulation in storage for 3 weeks at room temperature. The results showed no change in color and consistency but a loss of mango fragrance after 3 weeks. The hedonic test indicated that most participants favored F1 (35 grams of mango flour). Based on these results, the flour of Cengkir mango had good performance as an active ingredient in a natural-based body scrub.

Acetaminophen(APAP) intoxication is an important cause of nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. N-acetylcysteine(NAC) is used in the treatment, but it has some serious side effects. Abelmoschus esculentus(AE) has various benefits as well as antioxidant effects. This study aims to investigate the effect of AE in APAP-induced acute nephrotoxicity. Forty male Wistar rats were divided into five equal groups: Control, AE, APAP, APAP+AE, and APAP+AE+NAC. Significant changes were observed in serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin(NGAL) and Kidney Injury Molecule-1(KIM-1) after induction with APAP. NGAL and KIM-1 in the AE group remained low compared to those receiving APAP (p=0.022 and p0.001, respectively). When the APAP group was compared with the AE and AE+NAC groups, it was found that even the administration of AE alone significantly decreased NGAL and KIM-1(p=0.036 vs.p=0.029 and p0.001 vs. p0.001, respectively), these results were attributed to the effects of AE on reducing MDA and increasing SOD. Histopathological studies also confirmed these results. These results demonstrated that AE had protective and therapeutic effects on APAP-induced nephrotoxicity. This benefit of AE is due to its antioxidant effect. In addition, AE may also increase the regenerative capacity of the kidney, which APAP reduces.
对乙酰氨基酚(APAP)中毒是引起肾毒性和肝毒性的重要原因。n -乙酰半胱氨酸(NAC)用于治疗，但它有一些严重的副作用。沙鼠(Abelmoschus esculentus, AE)具有多种有益成分和抗氧化作用。本研究旨在探讨AE在apap诱导的急性肾毒性中的作用。将40只雄性Wistar大鼠分为对照组、AE组、APAP组、APAP+AE组、APAP+AE+NAC组。APAP诱导大鼠血清丙二醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂钙素(NGAL)和肾损伤分子-1(KIM-1)水平发生显著变化。与APAP组相比，AE组的NGAL和KIM-1仍然较低(p=0.022和p0.001)。将APAP组与AE组和AE+NAC组进行比较，发现即使单独给药AE也能显著降低NGAL和KIM-1(p=0.036 vs.p=0.029, p0.001 vs. p0.001)，这些结果归因于AE对降低MDA和增加SOD的作用。组织病理学研究也证实了这些结果。结果表明，AE对apap所致肾毒性具有保护和治疗作用。AE的这种好处是由于它的抗氧化作用。此外，AE还可能增加肾脏的再生能力，而APAP则会降低肾脏的再生能力。

N-acetylcysteine(NAC) is used in the treatment, but it has some serious side effects. Abelmoschus esculentus(AE) has various benefits as well as antioxidant effects. This study aims to investigate the effect of AE in APAP-induced acute nephrotoxicity. Forty male Wistar rats were divided into five equal groups: Control, AE, APAP, APAP+AE, and APAP+AE+NAC. Significant changes were observed in serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin(NGAL) and Kidney Injury Molecule-1(KIM-1) after induction with APAP. NGAL and KIM-1 in the AE group remained low compared to those receiving APAP (p=0.022 and p0.001, respectively). When the APAP group was compared with the AE and AE+NAC groups, it was found that even the administration of AE alone significantly decreased NGAL and KIM-1(p=0.036 vs.p=0.029 and p0.001 vs. p0.001, respectively), these results were attributed to the effects of AE on reducing MDA and increasing SOD. Histopathological studies also confirmed these results. These results demonstrated that AE had protective and therapeutic effects on APAP-induced nephrotoxicity. This benefit of AE is due to its antioxidant effect. In addition, AE may also increase the regenerative capacity of the kidney, which APAP reduces.","PeriodicalId":270723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fundamental and Applied Pharmaceutical Science","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127440343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ippu Padang plant (Ammannia octandra L.f.) belongs to the family of Lythraceae, a hardy plant that can grow to a height of 50 cm. According to previous research, Ippu Padang leaves contain glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids and tannins. The presence of alkaloid compounds, flavonoids and tannins is predicted to have potential as an antifungal agent against fungi and antibacterial agent. This research used an experimental method. The steps included collecting plant material, plant identification, processing plants into Simplicia powder, phytochemical screening of Simplicia powder, extracting Simplicia by maceration method using ethanol solvent, antifungal and antibacterial activity test using agar diffusion method and determination of inhibition diameter of leaf ethanol extract. The results of phytochemical screening showed that ippu Padang leaves contained secondary metabolites, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, anthraquinone glycosides, tannins, saponins and steroids. The results also revealed that the concentration with the largest inhibitory diameter was 400 mg/ml, namely 12.4 mm against the Candida albicans, 17.46 mm against the Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis bacteria, 18.53 mm against the Micrococcus luteus bacteria, 19.38 mm against the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, and 17.71 mm against Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria. It was concluded that the ethanol extract of ippu Padang leaves could inhibit the growth of the Candida albicans, the bacteria Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Antioxidants are compounds that can stabilize free radicals in the body. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules as they have unpaired electrons to interact with body cell molecules. Tomatoes contain flavonoids, saponins, solanine tannins, folic acid, malic acid, citric acid, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and histamine, which can be used as antioxidants. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, water fraction, and ethanol extracts of Tomatoes and to determine the greatest antioxidant activity between n-hexane, ethyl acetate, water and vitamin C. Tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) was extracted using the maceration method with ethanol followed by fractionation using n-hexane and ethyl acetate solvents. The test of antioxidant activity to DPPH radical was conducted on n-hexane, ethyl acetate, water, and vitamin C. The antioxidant activity results, expressed by IC50 value to the n-hexane, ethyl acetate, water fraction of Tomatoes fruit, were 4.4603 ppm; 4.0868 ppm; and 4.0527 ppm, respectively. Thus, the greatest antioxidant activity was the water fraction.

This study aims to determine the nutritional and therapeutic effects of dried Bunium incrassatum Bois.Batt.Trab. Tubers powder on rats with hyper and hypothyroidism. Thirty female Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups. G1 (C) received a normal diet. G2 (CT) received a normal diet with dried Talghouda tubers powder dissolved in water. G3 (Hpo) was treated with Carbimazole® (5 mg/day) for 6 weeks. G4 (HpoT) was treated with Carbimazole® (5 mg/day) for 6 weeks and Talghouda for 7 weeks after induced hypothyroidism. G5 (Hpy) was treated with Levothyroxine® (600µg/Kg body weight/day) for 6 weeks. G6 (HpyT) had hyperthyroidism induced by Levothyroxine® (600µg/Kg body weight/day) for 6 weeks and then treated with Talghouda for 7 weeks. A dose of Talghouda was chosen at 1.03g/Kg body weight/day, and all treatments were given by gavage. Phytochemical analysis was carried out for Talghouda, and the thyroid glands of each group were then recovered for histological study. Talghouda treatment showed a highly significant (p 0.01) increase in body weight in groups G2, G4 and G6 with gland repair and reactivation of thyroid follicles in hyper and hypothyroid rats compared to G1, G3 and G5. The powder of dried Talghouda tubers, used as traditional medicine in Algeria, improved the damages caused by hyper and hypothyroidism.
