Indonesia has a wide range of rice cultivars and pigments. This rice can be used as a source ofphytochemical compounds for cancer prevention. This research aims to analyze the cytotoxic activitiesof the ethanolic extract of black rice bran of 4 local cultivars i.e. ‘Cempo Ireng’, ‘Woja Laka’, ‘Toraja’ and‘IR­64’ (white rice) on cancer cells and to determine the compounds groups of those extracts. First step,rice bran was extracted with ethanol. This extract was applied to Raji (a human Burkitt Lymphomacancer), HepG2 (a human liver cancer), and Vero (a nonhuman cell line) cells in order to measure thecytotoxic activities by using MTT assay. To determine descriptively the compounds groups of phenolics,flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, and alkaloids the thin layer chromatography method was performed.The IC50 value was analyzed quantitatively by using probit analysis. Results showed that the IC50 valuesof ethanolic extract of rice bran ‘Woja Laka’, ‘Toraja’, ‘Cempo Ireng’ and ‘IR 64’ on HepG2 cells were857.23±99.19; 1,896.55±83,8; 1,494.47±87.81 and 727.89±145,97 µg/ml respectively. The IC50 on Raji cellswere 816.61±85.31; 1,079.93±28.31; 1,627.82; ±119.82, and 769.33±61.43 µg/ml respectively. The IC50 onVero cells were 1,295.2±37; 1,232.07±165.51; 1,874.14±169.56, and 724.4±122.79 µg/ml respectively. Theethanolic extracts of rice bran from four cultivars contain phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, and steroids.However, alkaloids could not be detected. The variety of rice cultivars indicates the variation of cytotoxicactivities on cancer cells. The ethanolic extracts of rice bran from those four rice cultivars contain similarkinds of organic compounds groups but vary in the Rf values.

The chemical contents and health benefits of black rice bran of some rice cultivars have been investigated. However, there has been little research on the ‘Cempo Ireng’ cultivar from Sleman, Yogyakarta. The aim of this present study was to determine the anthocyanin, antioxidant activity, and macro- and micronutrients contents of black rice bran from this local cultivar. The anthocyanin in the black rice bran was extracted using the maceration method with methanol as a solvent. The extract obtained was separated through a preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC) of silica GF254 and a mobile phase composed of n-butanol, acetic acid, and water. Two fractions were collected and analyzed for the anthocyanin content. The preparative TLC spots were separated for further detection and measurement of cyanidin 3-O-glucoside using HPLC followed by LC-MS. The antioxidant activity of the fractions were measured using the DPPH free radical scavenging method. The results showed that the anthocyanin in fraction 1 was identified as cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (66.1 ± 10.6 µg/g). The IC50 of fractions 1 and 2 were 200.96 and 218.36 µg/mL, respectively. Analysis of the macro- and micronutrients revealed that the black rice bran of ‘Cempo Ireng’ had nutrient contents comparable with other rice cultivars. Therefore, this local black rice bran can be used as a source of antioxidants and macro-- and micronutrients.

Background: Ultraviolet exposure is an extrinsic factor to initiate melanogenesis, the process of melanin formation in the skin. Nowadays, natural ingredients tend to be more prevalent in cosmetic formulations due to consumers’ concern about synthetic ingredients and the risks they may represent for human health. Rice bran, the outer layer of a rice grain, can be utilized as a skin-lightening agent. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of a lotion containing black rice bran (Oryza sativa L. indica) ethanolic extract as a skin lightening agent. Methods: The black rice bran ethanolic extract was formulated into oil in water (o/w) lotion. In this study, 34 women applied the lotion at one side of the forearm and base placebo lotion as control at the other side of forearm. The results were tested with a paired t-test by GraphPad Prism 8.3.0 software. Results: There was a significant decrease in the melanin index and erythema index in the forearm with a lotion containing black rice bran extract (P-value < 0.0001). Conclusions: The lotion containing 10% black rice bran extract was effective as a skin lightener because it effectively reduced skin melanin production when applied topically.

Black rice is a type of rice in the Oryza sativa L. species. There are numerous reports regarding the pharmacological actions of black rice bran, but scientific evidence on its gastroprotection is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the gastroprotective activities of black rice bran ethanol extract (BRB) from the Thai black rice variety Hom Nil (O. sativa L. indica) as well as its mechanisms of action, acute oral toxicity in rats, and phytochemical screening. Rat models of gastric ulcers induced by acidified ethanol, indomethacin, and restraint water immersion stress were used. After pretreatment with 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg of BRB in test groups, BRB at 800 mg/kg significantly inhibited the formation of gastric ulcers in all gastric ulcer models, and this inhibition seemed to be dose dependent in an indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer model. BRB could not normalize the amount of gastric wall mucus, reduce gastric volume and total acidity, or increase gastric pH. Although BRB could not increase NO levels in gastric tissue, the tissue MDA levels could be normalized with DPPH radical scavenging activity. These results confirm the gastroprotective activities of BRB with a possible mechanism of action via antioxidant activity. The major phytochemical components of BRB comprise carotenoid derivatives with the presence of phenolic compounds. These components may be responsible for the gastroprotective activities of BRB. The 2000 mg/kg dose of oral BRB showed no acute toxicity in rats and confirmed, in part, the safe uses of BRB.

Anthocyanin of pigmented rice inhibits the growth of cancer cells. The cytotoxicity and apoptosisinducing properties of local black rice (cv Cempo Ireng) extracts and fractions, which contain anthocyaninincluding cyanidin 3-glucoside and peonidin 3-glucoside, on human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa cells) hasbeen evaluated. The pigmented rice bran was extracted and fractionated using methanol-HCl. The MTT testwas performed on HeLa cell cultures to observe the IC50 value. Preparative TLC was performed to obtain thefractions of black rice bran. Cyanidin 3-glucoside and peonidin 3-glucoside were identified in the pigmentedrice bran extract and fractions using UHPLC. Flowcytometry analysis was performed to measure the percentageof apoptotic cells. Our results suggest that the fractions are more toxic than the methanolic crude extract withIC50 values of 85.95 ± 5.56 μg/mL (the lowest one) and 408.13 ± 51.9 μg/mL, respectively. The concentration ofcyanidin 3-glucoside and peonidin 3-glucoside in the methanolic extract were 1.89 and 0.84 μg/mg, respectively.The apoptosis induction by fractions F2 and F4 (52 and 55%) were significantly higher compared to fractionF3 and F5 (30 and 33%) and doxorubicin (21%). Cyanidin 3-glucoside was detected in F4 (0.14 μg/ml) whilepeonidin 3-glucoside in F2 (0.012 μg/ml), however both were not detected in F3 and F5.

Tidal swamp rice is a valuable source for developing new rice cultivars in the future because they possess some important traits for, adapted to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses. In this study, twenty-seven cultivars of the tidal swamp rice, comprising 26 from the South Kalimantan and one of Sumatera Island, Indonesia (an outgroup), were characterized phenotypically. Following Biodiversity International procedure, 14 qualitative and 15 quantitative traits were observed. The results show that this germplasm has a unique diversity in phenotypic traits. The secondary branch of panicle was the highest diversity of qualitative traits with an index of 0.93. Similarly, the plant height was the highest for quantitative traits (0.70). The correlation analysis confirmed that plant height, strongly correlated to culm diameter, the number of tillers and grain ratio. The PCA indicated that several independent traits, such as coleoptile anthocyanin coloration, basal leaf sheath color, and grain length, have positively contributed to the diversity, accounting 62.99%. Based on PCA analysis, the tidal swamp rice were clustered into four groups. According to UPGMA, this germplasm separated into six main groups, where Sardani (an outgroup) was very closely related to Lakatan Pacar and most distantly to Siam Perak. This information would be useful for the future rice breeding program, particularly in developing new rice cultivars in the tidal swamp areas.

Breast cancer is one of the most common death causes among women worldwide. Treatment is usually associated with chemically synthesized drugs with serious side effects which shifted the attention of cancer researchers towards development of natural product alternatives. Ethnopharmaceutical evidence showed that Aquilaria spp. have been used to treat a wide range of disorders. However, scientific evidence is still lacking to support and extend the traditional applications to cancer. This study aims to investigate differential gene expression (DEG) of MCF-7 cells treated with agarwood branch ethanolic extract (ABEE) to provide insights into its cell growth-inhibiting effects. Methods: cDNA synthesis from RNA of MCF-7 cells treated with the 8 µg/ml ABEE and DMSO-treated cells (control), respectively, were subjected to RT2 Profiler Array Human Cell Death Finder™ containing 84 genes related to cell death mechanism. Pathway analysis was carried out using the online KEGG Pathway tool. Results: 48 genes that met the threshold fold regulation cut-off of 2 and p < 0.05; 41 DEGs from the list were down-regulated, and 7 were up-regulated. Pathway analysis suggested ABEE may have caused apoptosis of MCF-7 cells through extrinsic and/or intrinsic apoptotic pathways, including activation of p53 that could be the first step towards apoptotic elimination of the cancer cells upon treatment of ABEE.  Conclusion: Results obtained supported the growth inhibition effects of ABEE against MCF-7 cells that can serve as the basis for further work towards extending the use of agarwood as cancer therapeutics.
