ABSTRAK Minyak cengkeh (Syzygium aromaticum) secara tradisional digunakan untuk untuk mengatasi masalah gigi dan mulut, pengembangan bentuk sediaan patch untuk mempertahankan zat aktif pada area gingival dan mencegah wash-out oleh saliva, polimer HPMC yang bersifat mukoadhesif mampu mampu berikatan pada mukosa mulu. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan HPMC (hidroksi Propil Metil Selulosa)sebagai polimer mucoadhesiv terhadap karakteristik fisik sediaan patch minyak cengkeh. Minyak cengkeh dibuat dalam bentuk sediaan emulsi m/a, yang selanjutnya ditambahkan dalam basis gel dengan variasi polimer HPMC yaitu 1 %; 1,5 %; 2 % dan dikeringkan. Patch yang terbentuk dievaluasi bobot rata – rata, pH, ketebalan,  folding endurance, waktu tinggal dan swelling indeks. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan ketiga formula memiliki  bobot rata- rata 21,33 – 29,63 mg  pada ukuran 2 x 1 cm, pH 6, mampu bertahan lebih dari 250 lipatan, dan waktu tinggal 24 – 25 menit. Berdasarkan pada penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan konsentrasi HPMC mempengaruhi sifat fisik patch yang dihasilkan. Semakin tinggi konsentrasi HPMC maka bobot, ketebalan, waktu tinggal dan indeks mengembang patch juga semakin meningkat, sedangkan tidak terjadi perubahan pH dan kekuatan lipat pada variasi konsentrasi polimer 1 % - 2 % yang digunakan. Key word : HPMC, minyak cengkeh, patch  ABSTRACT Clove oil (Syzygium aromaticum) has traditionally been used to overcome dental and oral problems, the development of patch dosage forms to maintain active substances in the gingival area and prevent wash-out by saliva, the mucoadhesive adhesive HPMC polymer capable of binding to the oral mucosa. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using HPMC (Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose) as a mucoadhesiv polymer on the physical characteristics of clove oil patch preparations. Clove oil is made in the form of m / a emulsion, which is then added to a gel base with a variation of polymer HPMC that is 1%; 1.5%; 2% and dried. The patches formed are evaluated for average weight, pH, thickness, folding endurance, residence time and index swelling. The results of this study indicate that the three formulas have an average weight of 21.33 - 29.63 mg at a size of 2 x 1 cm, pH 6, able to withstand more than 250 folds, and a residence time of 24-25 minutes. Based on this study it can be concluded the concentration of HPMC affects the physical properties of the resulting patch. The higher the concentration of HPMC, the weight, thickness, residence time and index of the swell patch also increased, while there was no change in pH and folding strength at variations in the polymer concentration of 1% - 2% used. Key word: HPMC, clove oil, patch

The aim of the study was to prepare indomethacin nanocrystal-loaded, 3D-printed, fast-dissolving oral polymeric film formulations. Nanocrystals were produced by the wet pearl milling technique, and 3D printing was performed by the semi-solid extrusion method. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) was the film-forming polymer, and glycerol the plasticizer. In-depth physicochemical characterization was made, including solid-state determination, particle size and size deviation analysis, film appearance evaluation, determination of weight variation, thickness, folding endurance, drug content uniformity, and disintegration time, and drug release testing. In drug nanocrystal studies, three different stabilizers were tested. Poloxamer F68 produced the smallest and most homogeneous particles, with particle size values of 230 nm and PI values below 0.20, and was selected as a stabilizer for the drug-loaded film studies. In printing studies, the polymer concentration was first optimized with drug-free formulations. The best mechanical film properties were achieved for the films with HPMC concentrations of 2.85% (w/w) and 3.5% (w/w), and these two HPMC levels were selected for further drug-loaded film studies. Besides, in the drug-loaded film printing studies, three different drug levels were tested. With the optimum concentration, films were flexible and homogeneous, disintegrated in 1 to 2.5 min, and released the drug in 2–3 min. Drug nanocrystals remained in the nano size range in the polymer films, particle sizes being in all film formulations from 300 to 500 nm. When the 3D-printed polymer films were compared to traditional film-casted polymer films, the physicochemical behavior and pharmaceutical performance of the films were very similar. As a conclusion, 3D printing of drug nanocrystals in oral polymeric film formulations is a very promising option for the production of immediate-release improved- solubility formulations.

The essential oil of clove ( Syzygium aromaticum) holds an important positionamongst widely used essential oils. A typical steam distillation processfor the extraction of clove oil provides a 10.1% yield. Recent studies involvedthe use of enzymes such as pectinase, amylase, lignocellulase, and cellulaseon the powder of clove buds, prior to extraction. The traditional methods ofphysical and chemical extraction are effective but may affect the structure,quality and yield of the phytochemicals extracted. In the current study,hence, enzymes specific for action on the cell wall have been used in the pretreatment prior to extraction, to enhance the quality and yield of the phytochemicalsextracted. The results indicated that all the enzymes, gave morethan 50% higher yield than control in terms of weight of extracted essentialoil. A mixture of the enzymes gave the highest yield of 17.82%. Gas chromatographyresults indicated that the essential oil extracted using amylase hada maximum eugenol content of 70%, in comparison with the eugenol content(62–68%) in the essential oils extracted using the rest of the enzymes.Antibacterial activity of all the extracts was studied on methicillin â€resistantStaphylococcus aureus  (MRSA). The essential oil extracted by using amylaseinhibitedMRSA, showed a zone size of 40 mm, whereas the essential oil extractedby using lignocellulase showed a zone size of 45 mm. The gas chromatogramindicated the maximum number of peaks in this extract, whichcould be producing a combined antibacterial effect on the organism. Thespecific gravity values of the essential oil extracted using lignocellulase andamylase was 1.051 and 1.062, respectively, whereas the control had a specificgravity of 1.015.

In this study, the effect of polymers on the mechanical properties of ketoprofen extended drug release systems were studied. Many polymers are added in formulation of compressed tablets in order to improve the physicochemical characteristics of the drug release system. The samples were made in the form of cylindrical tablet about 9 mm in diameter, containing different mixtures of drug substances and excipients acording to seven formulations. Cylindrical tablets containing mixtures of ketoprofen and various types of polymers are made by direct compression method. Among the binders used were a series of different polymers like Kollidon va 64, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and sodium carboxyl methyl cellulose. Mechanical parameters such as hardness, mechanical strenght, friability and roughness were studied in order to determine how they are influenced by polymeric binders.

Pass Metabolism

Diltiazem hydrochloride (HCl) is a category of calcium channel blocker used as an antihypertensive agent. Diltiazem HCl is a low bioavailable drug due to high first-pass metabolism and a short half-life (3-5 hours); hence mucoadhesive buccal film was made to overcome this weakness. Bioavailability of Diltiazem HCl increase if the buccal preparations can contact the mucosa for a sufficient time. Therefore, in this study, two polymers are combined to obtain good film characteristics, especially residence time and mucoadhesive strength. This study was aimed to optimize Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) and Carbomer's amount in Diltiazem HCl mucoadhesive buccal film. The formulas were prepared by the solvent casting method and optimized with design expert software. The release kinetics and mechanism were evaluated using DDSolver program. The optimum amount of polymer obtained from optimization was 40 mg of HPMC and 10 mg of Carbomer. The optimum formula's swelling index was 4.18. The mucoadhesive strength was 53.07 gF, and the mucoadhesive residence time was 529.33 min. The FTIR spectra showed there was no interaction between Diltiazem HCl and other excipients. Thus it did not disturb the therapeutic effect. Based on the DDSolver statistical parameters and curve-fitting, the dissolution model of Diltiazem HCl from buccal mucoadhesive film follows Korsmeyer-Peppas. The release exponent (n) is 0.55, which shows a non-fickian/anomalous diffusion release mechanism. These mechanisms represent drug release controlled by a combination of diffusion and erosion.

Brimonidine Tartrate

Brimonidine is an anti-glaucoma agent useful in treatment of intraocular pressure. In the present study an attempt was made to formulate ophthalmic inserts of brimonidine tartrate (BT) in combination with polymers like methylcellulose, carboxymethyl chitosan and HPMC. Prepared ocular films were evaluated for uniformity in thickness, weight variation, % moisture absorption, % moisture loss, in vitro and in vivo release studies. The physical characteristics of the films were found to be within acceptable limits. The study confirmed that brimonidine tartrate can be delivered through films made of methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl chitosan and HPMC combination matrix cast with ethyl cellulose (EC). In vitro release study revealed that increasing the proportion of polymer concentration decreased the rate of release of brimonidine tartrate. In vivo release profile of ocular inserts revealed controlled release of drug over a period of 24 h. Optimized formulation CH3 was evaluated for in vivo release characteristics using rabbits as animal model. The optimized formulation CH3 was found to be stable at accelerated storage condition of 40/75 % RH.

Active Substances

Essential oils (EOs) are now a hot topic in finding modern substitutes for antibiotics. Many studies have shown positive results and confirmed their high antibacterial activity both in vitro and in vivo. Deservedly, there is an attempt to use EOs as a substitute for antibiotics, which are currently limited by legislation in animal breeding. Given the potential of EOs, studies on their fate in the body need to be summarized. The content of EO’s active substances varies depending on growing conditions and consequently on processing and storage. Their content also changes dynamically during the passage through the gastrointestinal tract and their effective concentration can be noticeably diluted at their place of action (small intestine and colon). Based on the solubility of the individual EO’s active substances, they are eliminated from the body at different rates. Despite a strong antimicrobial effect, some oils can be toxic to the body and cause damage to the liver, kidneys, or gastrointestinal tissues. Reproductive toxicity has been reported for Origanum vulgare and Mentha arvensis. Several publications also address the effect on the genome. It has been observed that EOs can show both genoprotective effects (Syzygium aromaticum) and genotoxicity, as is the case of Cinnamomum camphor. This review shows that although oils are mainly studied as promising antimicrobials, it is also important to assess animal safety.

Biofilm Development

Acidotermophilic bacteria Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is one of the main contaminants in the fruit industry forming biofilms which are difficult to remove from the production line by conventional methods. An alternative approach aims for the use of essential oils to prevent Alicyclobacillus biofilm development. The effect of clove essential oil on A. acidoterrestris biofilms on glass and polyvinyl chloride surfaces under static and agitated culture conditions was investigated by atomic force microscopy and the plate count method. The medium-flow and the type of technical surface significantly influenced A. acidoterrestris biofilm. The PVC was colonized in a greater extent comparing to glass. Clove essential oil in 0.05% (v/v) caused 25.1–65.0% reduction of biofilms on the technical surfaces along with substantial changes in their morphology by a decrease in the biofilm: height, surface roughness, and surface area difference. The oil also induced alteration in individual bacterial cells length and visible increase of their roughness. Clove essential oil seems to release EPS from biofilm and thus induce detachment of bacteria from the surface. Due to anti-A. acidoterrestris biofilm activity, the clove oil may be used in the juice industry to hinder a development of A. acidoterrestris biofilms on production surfaces.

Mucoadhesive Property

Clove oil is the volatile essential oil obtained from Syzygium aromaticum. Eugenol, which is the main component, has antimicrobial, antifungal activity and antioxidant. From antiseptic activity, clove oil can be used in treatment of oral cavity infection. The aims of this research are to formulate and evaluate clove oil mucoadhesive gel for oral applications. Gel bases were prepared from Poloxamer 407 (P407). The effect of clove oil, P407 and xanthan gum on formulations were studied. Clove oil preparations were evaluated for their physicochemical properties (physical appearance, pH, viscosity, gelling capacity and gel dissolving time at 37 °C in artificial saliva). Mucoadhesive property was studied using porcine buccal mucosa. The amount of eugenol in clove oil was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). Stability study of clove oil gel was performed under stress and room temperature conditions (1 month). The results showed that preparations containing 0% and 1% clove oil were in situ gel while those containing 3% and 5% clove oil were gel. All formulations showed good and clear physical appearance with the pH value of 5.2. The gelling capacity and gel dissolving time of more than 15 minutes in artificial saliva at 37°C was found in all preparations. They also showed mucoadhesive property. The GC results showed that the amount of eugenol in clove oil were 99.52 ± 0.51 %V/V. The preparations containing 1% clove oil showed good physical and chemical stability after storage at room temperature for 1 month. There was no significant difference in the amount of eugenol after storage (p>0.05). In conclusion, the preparations containing 20% P407 and 1% clove oil are the most appropriate formulation.

Clove Essential Oil

The composition and antifungal activity of clove essential oil (EO), obtained from Syzygium aromaticum, were studied. Clove oil was obtained commercially and analysed by GC and GC-MS. The EO analysed showed a high content of eugenol (85.3 %). MICs, determined according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute protocols, and minimum fungicidal concentration were used to evaluate the antifungal activity of the clove oil and its main component, eugenol, against Candida, Aspergillus and dermatophyte clinical and American Type Culture Collection strains. The EO and eugenol showed inhibitory activity against all the tested strains. To clarify its mechanism of action on yeasts and filamentous fungi, flow cytometric and inhibition of ergosterol synthesis studies were performed. Propidium iodide rapidly penetrated the majority of the yeast cells when the cells were treated with concentrations just over the MICs, meaning that the fungicidal effect resulted from an extensive lesion of the cell membrane. Clove oil and eugenol also caused a considerable reduction in the quantity of ergosterol, a specific fungal cell membrane component. Germ tube formation by Candida albicans was completely or almost completely inhibited by oil and eugenol concentrations below the MIC values. The present study indicates that clove oil and eugenol have considerable antifungal activity against clinically relevant fungi, including fluconazole-resistant strains, deserving further investigation for clinical application in the treatment of fungal infections.
