Black cumin seeds are known to have beneficial contents as antibacterial. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of black cumin seed extract (Nigella sativa) on the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The method used was the disc diffusion method. The ethanol extract of black cumin seeds gain by maceration method and was made into various concentration (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15)%. For positive control, ciprofloxacin disc were used and negative control used distilled water. The research model used was in vitro experimental research. The results showed that ethanol extract of black cumin seeds have antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae with inhibition zone diameters (4.5, 6.7, 10.1, 11, 12.8) mm, Pseudomonas aeruginosa with inhibition zone diameters (7.5, 12, 12.6, 13.4, 15.6) mm, positive controls respectively (24.3 and 20.7) mm and negative controls (0). It can be concluded that black cumin seed extract has an inhibiting effect on the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Objective: To prove the effect of giving black cumin seed extract (Nigella sativa) to decrease levels of TNF-α, IL-2, sFlt-1, and in PE model mice. Methods: This study is an analytical study with true experimental research design in laboratory mice (Rattus norvegicus) pregnant female has given black cumin seed extract (Nigella sativa) at a dose of 500 mg/kg/day and 2000 mg/kg/day. The treatment of all samples was carried out simultaneously and during the treatment was observed using the type of Postest Only Control Group Design. To assess whether the sample is normally distributed or not the Shapiro-Wilk test was carried out because the sample was ≤50. To assess the comparison of parameters (differences in expression of IL-2, sFlt-1, and TNF-α) between groups, the ANOVA test was used if the data were normally distributed and the Kruskal Wallis test if the data were not normally distributed. Results: From these results, it can be seen that there are significant differences in the administration of black cumin extract on TNF-α, IL-2, andsFlt-1 expression (p<0.001); the administration of black cumin extract can reduce TNF-α, IL-2, and sFlt-1 expression in preeclampsia mice. The administration of 2000 mg black cumin extract can reduce TNF-α and IL-2 expression more significantly. Conclusion: Black cumin can reduce levels of TNF-α, IL-2, sFlt-1 in models mice with preeclampsia (p<0.001).

Photoaging is caused by exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet radiation (UV-B) through the reactive oxygen species (ROS) molecules formation, resulting in decreased levels of collagen. It is characterized by wrinkles, sagging and rough surfaces. Black cumin has been used in medicine due to its high antioxidant potential. The aim of this study is to identify the effect of black cumin cream on collagen levels and hydration of the skin of Rattus norvegicus exposed to ultraviolet-B rays. This is experimental study in which 30 male Wistar strain rats were classified into 6 sub-groups, namely the KN group (without treatment), KP (getting Nivea cream moisturizer), P1 (basic cream ), P2 (black cumin seed extract cream 0.25%), P3 (cream 0.5%) and P4 (cream 0.75%). P4 rat collagen levels increased significantly before and after the intervention (24 ± 2.23 vs 42.6 ± 14.6, p <0.05).Cream with lower concentrations did not provide a significant increase (p> 0.05). P4 rats also showed increased skin hydration (38.6 ± 19.3 to 63.0 ± 4.47 (p <0.05)), and this was not found in other groups. The administration of topical black cumin seed extract 0.75% can inhibit decreased levels of collagen and increase skin tissue hydration.

This study aims to analyze the effect of ethanol extract of black cumin seeds (Nigella Sativa) on iNOS expression in the kidney of mice model preeclampsia. Design This study uses an experimental design with a posttest only control group design. Using a mice model preeclampsia. This study was divided into 6 groups: negative control, positive control (preeclampsia model), model + black cumin seed extract 500 mg/KgBB/day, 1000 mg/KgBB/day, 1500 mg/KgBB/day, and 2000 mg/KgBB/day days, after surgery on mice then examined iNOS Kidney expression by methods Immunohistochemical. Data from observations were analyzed by one way ANOVA test. The result there is an effect of ethanol extract of black cumin seeds on renal iNOS expression in mice model preeclampsia (p <0.05) at doses of 500mg, 1000mg, 1500mg, and 2000mg on decreasing renal iNOS expression. The conclusion Ethanol extract of black cumin seeds (Nigella sativa) can reduce iNOS Kidney expression in Mice Preeclampsia.
