Annually, more than 6 million tons of spent coffee grounds (SCG) are generated worldwide. The present study explores the possible use of spent coffee grounds as the raw materials for cosmetics industry. The main objective of this project are to investigate the chemical profiles and identify the bioactive compounds for cosmetics application through global metabolite analysis. The compounds extracted from SCG of Ethiopia coffee (Yirgacheffe), Costa Rican coffee (Tarrazu) and Hawaiian coffee (Kona) were analyzed by ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). The ion chromatograms were submitted to XCMS platform operated by Center for Metabolomics at the Scripps Research Institute. The peak detection, peak grouping, spectra extraction, and retention alignment were processed by XCMS. The spectra were annotated and the compounds were identified and categorized by integration with METLIN, the world's largest metabolite database. Multivariate and univariate statistical analysis including PCA and cloud-plot were performed by XCMS to compare the chemical profiles between the three coffee cultivars. These analyses indicated that each cultivar showed a specific cluster. Over 200 compounds related to anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tyrosinase and anti-tumor for skin care application were identified by XCMS. Therefore, the presence of bioactive compounds in SCG makes it a potential source of raw material for cosmetic application (e.g., anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, skin-whiting, and anti-aging).

Introduction. Noni (Morinda citrifolia) has been used for many years as an anti-inflammatory agent. We tested the efficacy of Noni in women with dysmenorrhea.Method. We did a prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial in 100 university students of 18 years and older over three menstrual cycles. Patients were invited to participate and randomly assigned to receive 400 mg Noni capsules or placebo. They were assessed for baseline demographic variables such as age, parity, and BMI. They were also assessed before and after treatment, for pain, menstrual blood loss, and laboratory variables: ESR, hemoglobin, and packed cell volume.Results. Of the 1027 women screened, 100 eligible women were randomized. Of the women completing the study, 42 women were randomized to Noni and 38 to placebo. There were no significant differences in any of the variables at randomization. There were also no significant differences in mean bleeding score or pain score at randomization. Both bleeding and pain scores gradually improved in both groups as the women were observed over three menstrual cycles; however, the improvement was not significantly different in the Noni group when compared to the controls.Conclusion. Noni did not show a reduction in menstrual pain or bleeding when compared to placebo.

Inflammatory Effect

Morinda citrifolia L. has multiple therapeutic properties, particularly as an anti-inflammatory. The species has been widely studied, however, it is necessary to expand studies to document the presence of secondary metabolites and the anti-inflammatory effect of its extracts in animal models. The objective of the present paper was to identify the secondary metabolites present in the ethanol extracts of leaves and fruit of Morinda citrifolia L. collected in the community of San José Rio Manso, municipality of Lalana Choapam, Oaxaca, as well as the evaluation of its anti-inflammatory effect in rabbits. Ethanol extracts were obtained from the green and mature leaves, as well as the juice of the fruit. Green leaf extract gels were prepared and used in a completely randomized experiment in rabbits. The presence of alkaloids, leucoantacionins, amino acids, coumarins, cardiotonics, flavonoids, terpenes and tannins was identified. The 0.5% extract was more efficient at reducing the inflamed area by 55.6% compared to 28.6% of the control, 48 hours after the induction of inflammation. No signs of adverse reactions due to the use of the pharmaceutical forms evaluated were observed.

The anti-inflamrnatory properties of Loasa specic¡sa and Loasa triphylla (Loasaceae), Urtica leptuphylla and Urera baccifera (Urticaceae), and Chaptalia nutans (Astemceae) were studied using the carregeenan induced mt paw edema model. Aqueous extmcts of each plant were made according to the ethnoboranical use. The hippocratic assay was made with female mts; the dose used was 500 mglkg i.p. andthe control group received 0.5 mi of n.s.s .. A11 the lmimals treated showed hipothermia, and those treated with the extmcts of Chaptalia nutans, Urera baccifera and Urtica lept/lPhylla showed an increased colinergic activity. Acute toxicities of !he aqueous extmcts were studied in mice an tbe mean lethal doses ranged between 1.0226 and 1.2022 glkg. The extracts of Urera baccifera, Chaptalia nutans, Loasa speciosa and Loasa triphylla (500 mglkg i.p.) showed an antiinflarnmatory activity compamble with that of indomethacin. The extracts of U. baccifera and C. nutans, which showed the gI"tatest anti-inflamrtJatory activity, did not show it when used orally (500 mg/k:g p.o.).

Research on anti inflammatory activity of the fruit of Morinda citrifolia Linn. Or known as pace in Indonesia language has been done by using three methods of assays i.e. anti inflammatory bioactivity assay by measuring the reduction of carrageen-induced oedema in rats analgesic bioactivity assay using writhing test method on mice, and vascular permeability bioactivity assay on mice induced by acetic acid. Results showed that dried juice of the fruit at the dose 1500 mg/kg body weight decreased the volume of oedema up to 64 percent and reduced the pain up to 54 percent. At the dose 2100 mg/kg body weight the dried juice reduced the vascular permeability up to 72 percent.
