Impact of spraying chitosan and turmeric extract on ‎fruiting of Flame seedless grapevines

The prevalence of DM in Riskesdas in 2018 according to the Perkeni consensus in 2015 is higher than according to the Perkeni consensus in 2011, the prevalence was10.9%. The disease can develop into diabetes nephropathy, Increased prevalence of diabetic nephropathy directly proportional with an increase in diabetes prevalence. Diabetic nephropathy is a microvascular complication in diabetics that develops around 30% in patients with type I DM and about 40% in patients with type II DM. Turmeric extract has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects to prevent the bad development of diabetes nephropathy. This study looked at the effect of giving a combination of noni and turmeric extract on histopathology of alloxan-induced renal rats. A total of 25 mice were divided into 5 treatment groups, namely the PI group (250 mg / kgBB extract dose), PII group (500 mg / kgBB extract dose), PIII group (750 mg / kgBB extract dose), positive control group (glibenklamid) and negative control group (without extract and glibenklamid). The study used Post Test Only Group. The highest percentage decrease in blood glucose in the PI group was 56.11% and the lowest decrease in the PIII group was 24.12% with p = 0.012. The results of the study were not based on the number of extract doses. The measurement results of rat body weight and glomerular diameter were not affected by blood glucose level with p = 0.700 for body weight and p = 0.187 for glomerular measurement results.

Antiviral treatments inhibiting Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication may represent a strategy complementary to vaccination to fight the ongoing Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Molecules or extracts inhibiting the SARS-CoV-2 chymotripsin-like protease (3CLPro) could contribute to reducing or suppressing SARS-CoV-2 replication. Using a targeted approach, we identified 17 plant products that are included in current and traditional cuisines as promising inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 3CLPro activity. Methanolic extracts were evaluated in vitro for inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 3CLPro activity using a quenched fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay. Extracts from turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizomes, mustard (Brassica nigra) seeds, and wall rocket (Diplotaxis erucoides subsp. erucoides) at 500 µg mL−1 displayed significant inhibition of the 3CLPro activity, resulting in residual protease activities of 0.0%, 9.4%, and 14.9%, respectively. Using different extract concentrations, an IC50 value of 15.74 µg mL−1 was calculated for turmeric extract. Commercial curcumin inhibited the 3CLPro activity, but did not fully account for the inhibitory effect of turmeric rhizomes extracts, suggesting that other components of the turmeric extract must also play a main role in inhibiting the 3CLPro activity. Sinigrin, a major glucosinolate present in mustard seeds and wall rocket, did not have relevant 3CLPro inhibitory activity; however, its hydrolysis product allyl isothiocyanate had an IC50 value of 41.43 µg mL−1. The current study identifies plant extracts and molecules that can be of interest in the search for treatments against COVID-19, acting as a basis for future chemical, in vivo, and clinical trials.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini betujuan untuk memformulasikan krim dari ekstrak rimpang kunyit (Curcuma domestica Val.) untuk memperoleh sediaan yang stabil sebagai krim obat luka dengan variasi konsentrasi setil alkohol sebagai agen pengental. Dalam penelitian ini krim diformulasikan dengan variasi konsentrasi setil alkohol F I (4%), F II (7%), dan F III (10%). Evaluasi fisik sediaan krim yang dilakukan meliputi evaluasi organoleptis, homogenitas, daya lekat, daya sebar, pH, tipe krim, dan viskositas. Hasil uji menunjukkan ketiga formula menghasilkan krim berwarna warna kuning jingga kecoklatan, bau khas kunyit, dan sediaan dengan tekstur krim semisolid, memiliki homogenitas yang baik, kemampuan menyebar yang baik, pH sediaan yaitu 5,86; 5,66; 4,68 dan tipe emulsi M/A (Minyak dalam Air). Hasil uji viskositas menunjukkan FII dan FIII memiliki viskositas yang sesuai dengan persyaratan. Uji daya lekat menunjukkan bahwa ketiga formulasi krim belum memenuhi persyaratan daya lekat sediaan topikal yang baik. ABSTRACT This study aims to formulation creams from turmeric extract (Curcuma domestica Val.) to obtain stable preparations as a wound healing cream in the variations concentration of cetyl alcohol as a stiffening agent. In this study, the cream was formulated with variations concentration of cetyl alcohol F 1 (4%), F II (7%), and F III (10%). The formulation were evaluated basen on several parameter, that are organoleptic evaluation, homogeneity, adhesion, dispersion, pH, cream type, and viscosity. The evaluation showed that the three formulas produced cream with a brownish-yellow color, a distinctive smell of turmeric, and preparations with a semisolid cream texture, had good homogeneity, good dispersing ability, pH of the preparation namely 5.86; 5.66; 4,68 and type M / A emulsions (Oil in Water). The results of the viscosity test showed that FII and FIII has viscosity that is suitable with the requirements. The sticky power test showed that all cream formulations does not suitable with the requirements of good topical preparations.
