Dosage Formulation

Plants used for treatment of diverse ailments primitively are concocted and used indiscriminately. The efficacy of "Herbal medicine" which is an ancient tradition, used in some parts of Nigeria was investigated to establish herbal applications of Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves.  Neem leaves (Azadirachta indica) was popularly recognised for the treatment of malaria fever. The leaves were plucked at appropriate peak period of the day when oil and moisture contents were recorded maximum. The peak period of contents was found to occurred between 8am-10am on a very sunny days, 10am to 12 on cool days, and 3:00pm to 5:00pm on cloudy days. Aqueous extract from macerated Neem leaves was subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis. Available phytochemicals evaluated include; saponin (34.89mg/g), tannin (31.715mg/g), flavonoid (31.835mg/g), phenol (43.59mg/g), terpernoid (14.585mg/g), cardiac glycosides (39.335mg/g), steroid (16.185mg/g) and alkaloid (28.76mg/g). These values differ significantly to recommended oral dosage formulation for human consumption: Saponin (1.433ml), Tannin (1.418ml), Flavonoid (13.91ml), Phenol (2.29ml), Terpernoid (8.23ml), Cardiac Glycosides (0.003177ml), Steroid (0.62mg/g). Consequently, local consumption of herbal resources should be regulated to avoid abuse and long or short-term effects of drug contents as proven in the neem leaves as local herbs.

Abstract Traditional solar salt pans appeared in Vinh Chau, Soc Trang province and Bac Lieu province in the 1960s (Do, 1998). Crude salt is mainly used for human consumption and to salt fish and fish sauces and therefore its demand is not considerable. Moreover, a large amount of crude salt was produced yearly at the sites which exceeded local consumption needs. Consequently, all salt produced could not be sold which reduced the income of salt farmers. Towards the end of the 1980s, an Artemia culture technique in salt pans for cyst production was developed by the College of Aquaculture and Fisheries (CAF), Cantho University, which proved to be more profitable than traditional salt production (Vu, 1997). Therefore the technique was immediately transferred to farmers and the production scale increased year by year. This case study describes the system of shrimp, Artemia and salt production which was introduced to salt farmers with the aim of developing a new production system to help to improve their living standards.

This study aims to obtain information about the strategies of Herbal and Herbal Medicine business players in Sehat Basamo in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative design with a case study approach. Research informants are sellers of herbs and herbal medicine Sehat Basamo as many as 4 people who were selected by purposive sampling. In addition, 4 informants were selected who are loyal customers at the Sehat Basamo outlet. The research was carried out in March-April 2021 at four locations of Sehat Basamo outlets in Samarinda City. The data and information obtained were then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study obtained information that all Healthy Basamo herbal and herbal outlets and customers who visited Sehat Basamo outlets complied with the Covid-19 health protocol according to the government's appeal in controlling the spread of the Covid-19 rate.

Background: The leaves of neem (Azadirachta indicia) is one of herbal medicine that recommended as an alternative material of root canal irrigants. The active ingredients of neem leaves such as alkaloids, tannins, saponins and flavonoids has been proven to have antibacterial activity against E. faecalis. The ideal properties of an alternative material of root canal irrigants is not only have antibacterial activity but also is not toxic to the tissues, but the toxicity of neem leaves remains unclear until now. Objective: The aims of this study to determine the toxicity effect of neem leaves extract in specific concentration. Methods: This research was an experimental laboratory in vitro study of baby hamster kidney fibroblast (BHK-21). The neem leaves extract was made by maceration method using ethanol 96% and certain dilution performed to obtain various concentrations. Cytotoxicity test was conducted by MTT assay and the optical density was measured using ELISA reader at wavelength of 620 nm. Then, the optical density values were calculated using the formula for determining the number of survival fibroblasts after tested. Results: The percentage of survival fibroblast at concentration of 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95, and 100% in sequence were 71.3%, 64, 2%, 62%, 60.2%, 40.1%, 36.3%, 36.7%, 29%, 28.4%, 27.5%, and 25.6% . Conclusion: The extract of neem leaves (Azadirachta indica) has cytotoxic effects at concentration of 70% up to 100%.
