Many people around the world believed that herbal tea had a lot of antioxidants contained in it, thus it was widely drunk all over the world. However, the antioxidant capacities of herbal tea may be various because it is affected by the usage of different plants as its primary ingredient. As a result, this study examines the antioxidant activity of herbal tea made from dried Citrus sp. and Clitoria ternatea flower petals. The antioxidant potential was assessed by performing a DPPH and H2O2 scavenging activity assay on 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging activity assay, total phenolic, and flavonoid content assay, ABTS reduction, and FRAP assay. This study showed that pure telang (Clitoria ternatea) herbal tea has antioxidant properties. Dried Telang (Clitoria ternatea) tea had the highest activity of antioxidants as we refer to the results of it had the highest activity value in DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assay and also had the lowest IC-50 value. Followed by TEMON infusion which showed the second-highest antioxidant activity after pure telang infusion. The decrease in antioxidant activity in the mixture of telang and lemon was due to the mixture of lemons which tended to have the lowest antioxidant activity among the three types of infusions tested. The addition of dried lemon has the aim of enhancing the flavor of the tea infusion.

Pegagan is a plant that plays an important role in health because of its secondary metabolite. However, many secondary metabolites tend to be unstable when exposed to UV light and oxygen such as flavonoid and terpenoid. The purpose of this study was to formulate the ethanolic extract of pegagan leaves into nanoparticle preparations to increase the stability of the extract. Nanoparticle preparations were made using the emulsion solvent evaporation method using Poly-Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). PLGA acts as a polymer that will coat the extract and PVA as a stabilizer. Variations in the concentration of PLGA used were 50 mg, 75 mg, and 100 mg, while the concentration of PVA used was 40 mg and the extract concentration was 158 mg. Determination of the best formula is done by looking at the results of the percent encapsulation efficiency obtained from the three formulas, namely 93.68%, 85.35%, and 88.76%, respectively. Based on these results, formula 1 was determined as the best formula. The particle size obtained in the best formula was 288.1667±3.4195 nm, the polydispersity index (PDI) was 0.371±0.0045 and the zeta potential value was -10.6333±0.1154. A physical stability test (cycling test method) of the best formula found a decrease in pH of 0.54 and no organoleptic changes or precipitate formed.

The oil phase of adeps lanae was used as a basis in the ointment formulation with snakehead fish extract and kelulut honey, which influences wound healing. Adeps lanae has the potential to become rancid due to the high water content in it (25-30%). The use of oil-soluble antioxidants such as Butyl Hydroxy Toluene (BHT) can overcome the rancidity in oil. This study aimed to see how adding BHT as an antioxidant affects the ointment's stability. The ointment is prepared in three different BHT concentrations: F1 (0.0075%), F2 (0.05%), F3 (0.1%), and a control for comparison. Organoleptic tests, homogeneity, spreadability, adhesion, protection power, and acid number were used to evaluate the stability of the preparation over 28 days at 40 ± 2°C / RH 75 ± 5%. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using One Way ANOVA. The addition of BHT affected the preparation's spreadability, adhesion, and acid number but did not affect the organoleptic, homogeneity, or protective power. At F3, there is a significant difference in spreadability (5.57 ± 0.21 cm) and adhesion (89.00±2.00 seconds) based on statistical analysis. F3 is the best ointment based on the physical characteristics test results and the minimum increase in acid number (8.83 mg KOH/g).

Cases of dengue infection are still high in various parts of the world and no antiviral has been found to treat dengue infection. Jatropha multifida is one of the herbs used by the community to treat dengue infection, but pre-clinical and clinical scientific evidence has not been carried out. Phytochemical screening of ethanol extract of Jatropha multifida leaves was carried out using thin layer chromatography. Cytotoxic assay was performed on Vero cells using the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide). The cytotoxic concentration 50 (CC50) was determined using probit analysis. Anti-dengue test on dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) was performed on Vero cells and the RNA (ribonucleic acid) copy number was quantified using quantitative polymerase chain reactions ((qPCR). Phytochemical screening results showed that the ethanol extract of Jatropha multifida leaves contains flavonoid and terpenoid compounds. CC50 of the extract was found to be 651.8 µg/mL. The RNA copy number of the treated group was lower than the control group and the difference was significant. The ethanol extract of Jatropha multifida leaves has anti-dengue activity against DENV-2.

Incision wounds have a fairly high prevalence in Indonesia. Chemical treatment of incision wounds has adverse side effects, therefore alternative treatment with natural ingredients is needed, namely using red fruit oil as the basic ingredient. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of red fruit oil (Pandanus conoideus Lamk.) gel emulsion on the healing process of incision wounds in males both macroscopically and microscopically. This is an experimental laboratory study. The study design used was true experimental with a post-test-only control group design approach. The population consisted of 25 male mice which were divided into 5 groups, namely: (1) K- was a control group where the incision wound on the back was given a gel emulsion base; (2) K+ was the control group where the incision wound on the back was given Iodine Povidone ; (3) P1 is the treatment group where the incision wound on the back is given a 5% red fruit oil gel emulsion (F1); (4) P2 is the treatment group where the incision wound on the back is given a red fruit oil gel emulsion 10% (F2); (5) P3 was the treatment group where the incision on the back was given a 15% red fruit oil gel emulsion (F3). The treatment was given for 14 days. The data were then analyzed using the ANOVA test. The result showed that the administration of red fruit oil emulgel had a significant effect on the size of the incision wound on the 7th day (p=0.035) and the 14th day (p=0.005). Giving red fruit oil emulgel also had a significant effect on the thickness of the epithelium (p=0.000) and the number of fibroblasts (p=0.000). It can be concluded that the administration of red fruit oil emulgel affects the healing process of the incision wound both macroscopically and microscopically.

Etlingera elatior (E. elatior) plant has long been used as a kitchen spice and daily food. E. elatior has potential as an antioxidant because it contains polyphenol and flavonoid compounds widely found in the leaves, fruit, and flowers. This study measures the total flavonoid content, total phenol content, and antioxidant activity using the ABTS method. Total phenol content was determined by the Follin-Ciocalteu method and total flavonoid content was determined by the Aluminium Chloride method. The results showed that the total flavonoid content from the highest to the lowest value from E. elatior was fruit extract, leaf extract, and flower extract, respectively. The value of total flavonoid content was 8.38 ± 0.15; 4.86 ± 0.10; and 2.60 ± 0.04 % w/w Catechin Equivalent (CE). The total phenol content from the highest to the lowest value from E. elatior was fruit extract, leaf extract, and flower extract, respectively. The total phenolic content values were 54.48 ± 1.89, 46.20 ± 0.83, and 4.80 ± 0.53 % w/w Gallic Acid Equivalent (GAE). The highest to lowest antioxidant activity values (IC50) were leaf extract at 58.82 ppm (strong activity), fruit extract at 103.05 ppm (moderate activity), and flower extract at 251.40 (weak activity), respectively.

In recent years, the use of green components has attracted significant attention because of their safety, various pharmacological effects, various possible formulation applications, and renewable sources. Regarding its development, coffee is a potential candidate for alternatives of synthetic chemicals in cosmetic preparations because it contains active compounds including polyphenols, caffeine, chlorogenic acid, flavonoids, and alkaloids, which are effective for use on the skin as an antioxidant, anti-aging, sunscreen, moisturizer, anti-cellulite, and face brightener. The stratum corneum is the outer layer of skin that is so impenetrable that requires a formulation to help active compounds penetrate its deeper layers. The development of formulation, type, area of origin, part of the coffee used, and the extraction method affects the characteristics of obtained cosmetics.

Buah Merah, a typical fruit from Papua, Indonesia which is used empirically in cancer therapy is rich in carotenoids and flavonoids. However, the mechanisms by which Buah Merah ameliorates cancer remained unknown. Natural antioxidant enzymes and pro-oxidant enzymes modulation significantly suppressed ROS production and cancer growth. Therefore, the determination of target enzymes of Buah Merah contents was studied through an in silico approach. Carotenoid and flavonoid compounds from Buah Merah were docked to 7 ROS modulating enzymes using Autodock Vina and the interaction stability was studied using the CABS Flex 2.0 server. The crucial amino acids of each enzyme were determined using DockFlin and prediction of acute oral toxicity of each test ligand was studied using ProTox-II. Based on the molecular docking results, quercetin 3'-glucoside is the most potent compound in binding to CAT, GR, GPx, SOD, LOX, and NOX with binding energy values of -11.2, -9.7, -8.6, -10.2, -10.7, and -12.8 kcal/mol, respectively. Meanwhile, taxifolin 3-O-α-arabinopyranose produced the highest binding affinity of -10.0 kcal/mol at the XO. Each test ligand formed stable interactions with ROS modulating enzymes and formed bonds with crucial amino acids resulting in strong adhesion compared to native and reference ligands. The glucoside group of quercetin 3'-glucoside plays an essential role in determining the proper position in the attachment and supports the formation of hydrogen bonds with receptors. With low acute oral toxicity, it can be concluded that quercetin 3'-glucoside from Buah Merah is a potent oxidative stress modulator in cancer prevention and therapy.
