Objective: Garcinia atroviridis belongs to the family Clusiaceae. The whole plant was dried, extracted to obtain a xanthone-rich extract. Phytochemical studies of extract showed the presence of phenols, alkaloids, steroids, resins, and saponins. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) the most common form of dementia, a brain disorder which has been affecting the elderly. The natural sources such as plants are an abundant source having various medicinal properties.Methods: In the present study, G. atroviridis has been selected to test for the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity by Ellman’s method. The antioxidant activity has been performed by 2,2’-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) assay.Results: The results showed that the extract from G. atroviridis could inhibit the activity of AchE and BuChE. The percentage inhibition of the ethanolic extract for AChE was found to be 69.4%, and ethyl acetate extract was found to be 75.6%, respectively. The percentage inhibition of the ethanolic extract for BuChE was found to be 59.4%, and ethyl acetate extract was found to be 63.2%, respectively. The IC50 values for DPPH scavenging activity were significant when compared with the standard ascorbic acid.Conclusion: The plant extract with significant antioxidant and anticholinesterase property has shown its potential to be investigated further as a therapeutic drug for AD.

Aims: The present investigation was aimed at exploring the phytoconstituents using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy and to evaluate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the leaf extracts. Materials and Methods: The extracts were obtained sequentially with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and water using soxhlet apparatus. The anti-inflammatory property of the identified compounds using GC- MS spectroscopy was evaluated in silico. The antioxidant activity was performed by DPPH and H2O2 method whereas anti-inflammatory study was carried out by HRBC membrane stabilization method. Terpenoids were found to be major constituents in petroleum ether extract while, phenols and flavonoids were predominantly found in ethyl acetate extract. Results and Discussion: The GC-MS analysis of the extract revealed six major molecules including Squalene, 19β, 28- epoxyleanan-3-ol and 2-tu-Butyl-5-chloromethyl-3-methyl-4-oxoimidazolidine-1-carboxylic acid. The ethyl acetate extract showed a significant antioxidant activity (P<0.01) in both DPPH method (70.87 %) and H2O2 method (73.58%) at 200 µg mL-1 . Increased membrane stabilization of petroleum ether extract was observed in the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity study. A strong relationship between the terpenoid content and anti-inflammatory activity was obtained from the correlation (0.971) and docking study. Conclusion: These results justify T. involucrata to be a rich source of terpenoids with potent antiinflammatory property.

Peel-Off face mask is one of the cosmetics that is used to treat skin from free radicals. Peel-off face mask can minimize the effects of free radicals because it contains antioxidant. One of the antioxidant sources is red dragon fruit’s rind (Hylocereuspolyrhizus Haw.). The aim of this study is to obtain Peel-Off face mask of red dragon fruit’s rind extract that contains anthocyanin. Red dragon fruit’s rind was macerated by ethanol 96%, ethyl acetate and n-hexane added citric acid (4:1) solvents. TLC test used Chloroform: ethyl acetate: n-butanol (5:4:1) eluent and sprayed by AlCl3. Antioxidant activity of extract was tested using DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picryhidrazyl) method. Peel-Off face mask was made using PVA, HPMC, methyl paraben, propylparaben, propylenglycol, extract, ethanol 96% and aquadest. The rendemen of ethanol 96% extract was 9,476%, ethyl acetate extract was 0,783% and n-hexane extract was 0,631%. The results of TLC test showed yellow spots on the ethyl acetate and ethanol 96% extracts which indicated that extract contained flavonoids (anthocyanin). The results of antioxidant activity test showed that IC50 value of ethanol 96% extract was 189,7422 (AAI=0,2087), ethyl acetate extract was 196,9398 (AAI=0,2011), and n-hexane extract was 385,3664 (AAI=0,1027). The result of the product evaluations showed that all the formulas complied the product requirements such as the organoleptic, homogenity, pH, dispersive power and drying time. Peel-off face mask already meet the product requirements but further research is needed to test the product stability and activity.

One new dolabellane (1) and two known diterpenoids stolonidiol (2) and clavinflol B (3) have been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the Indonesian soft coral Anthelia sp. A new compound 1 exhibited a moderate cytotoxicity against NBT-T2 cells at 10 µg/mL, while known compounds 2 and 3 showed cytotoxicity at 1 and 0.5 µg/mL, respectively. Structure of the new compound 1 was elucidated by interpretation of NMR spectroscopic data (1D and 2D NMR data) and mass spectrometry (ESIMS data) as well as comparison with those of related ones. This finding should be useful for anti cancer drug development of the promising dolabellane-types compound.

Oxidation process is a natural process which always occurs in fat. The process affects and decreases the fat quality. Oxidation in fat can be hampered by the addition of antioxidant. Antioxidant activity of wedusan leaf has to be studied to know the possibility of wedusan leaf as an antioxidant. Hence, the aims of the research were to determine the antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate extract of wedusan leaf using TBA method, and to compare the antioxidant activity of wedusan leaf and that of BHT. The research method consisted of sample preparation, extraction, and determination of antioxidant activity using TBA method. Wedusan leaf was extracted by maceration using n-hexane and ethyl acetate solvents. The n-hexane extract was 2.90 gram, whereas ethyl acetate extract was 13.12 gram. Based on qualitative screening on secondary metabolites, ethyl acetate extract contained flavonoid. The results from GC-MS indicated that ethyl acetate extract contained methyl heptadecanoic, methyl-13-octadecenoic, 14,16-octadecadienal, and octadecanoic acid. The order of inhibition activity of antioxidant were 0.05% (w/v) of BHT > 0.15% (w/v) of ethyl acetate extract > 0.10% (w/v) of ethyl acetate extract > 0.05% (w/v) of ethyl acetate extract.

Anti Fungal

To evaluate the leaf volatile constituents of essential oil of Coleus zeylanicus and evaluate their anti-oxidant and anti-fungal activity. The Chemical composition of Coleus zeylanicus essential oil was determined using GC-MS and FT-IR analytical techniques. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH scavenging assay. The anti-fungal effect was tested against two potential pathogenic fungal strains - Candida albicans and Malassezia furfur using agar well diffusion method. The essential oil was profiled by the presence of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons 90.67% of their total composition followed by oxygenated monoterpenes and monoterpene hydrocarbons as 5.3% and 2.1% respectively. The GC-MS results showed 14 compounds from Coleus zeylanicus leaf EO representing 98.07% of the total oil composition. The major component was identified as a-Gurjunene (35.94%), a-bisabolol (10.82%) and G-selinene (4.26%). EO showed remarkable antioxidant activity values of IC50 = 59.78± 3.21µg/ml by DPPH scavenging assay. The essential oil showed interesting anti-fungal effects against two pathogenic fungal strains. The most sensible strains to Coleus zeylanicus EO was Malassezia furfur (32.00±0.50mm) compared to that of Candida albicans (15.00±1.25mm). Hence, Coleus zeylanicus EO has potential application against fungal infection and oxidative stress-related diseases. However, further investigations are necessary to isolate and investigate the action mechanism of these bioactive compounds.
