Anticancer Activities and Metabolite Fingerprinting of Uplc-qtof-ms/ms Method From Chrysanthemum Cinerariifolium (Trev)

Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium (C. cinerariifolium) is an empirically proven medicinal plant that has anticancer activities. This study aimed to profile metabolites, and cytotoxic activity of root, leaf, stem, and root extracts C. cinerariifolium on T47D cells and to determine the correlation of metabolite content with cytotoxic activity. The metabolite profile was carried out using UPLC-QToF-MS / MS, and cytotoxic activity was carried out using the MTT method. The results obtained in the form of a chromatogram were processed with the application Masslynk so that a metabolite profile data obtained. The data is then analyzed statistically using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results obtained on metabolite profiling showed that there were differences in metabolite profiles in the roots, stems, leaves, and chrysanthemums. The characteristic compounds in the flower section are D - (-) - Morphine and in the leaf part of genistein and N - [(5-Chloro-1,2,3-thiadiazol-4-yl) methyl] -1- (2-isopropyl-4 -methyl-1,3-thiazol-5-yl) -N-methyl ethanolamine. The major compounds in the roots, stems, and leaves are Orphenadrine with successive percentages of 9.11%, 10.16%, and 3.24%, and the major compounds in the flower section are D - (-) - Morphine with a percentage of 10, 86%. Furthermore, the results of the cytotoxic activity test showed differences in anticancer cytotoxic activity in the parts of the flower, leaf, stem, and root of C. cinerariifolium. Besides, there is a relationship between the metabolite content and anticancer cytotoxic activity of each part of C. cinerariifolium. The higher the level of orphenadrine compounds in the plant, the higher the potential for anticancer.

Estimation of Cephalosporins (Ceftriaxone, Ceftazidime) Antibiotics as Pure and Pharmaceutic Forms by Color Produced Reaction in Uv-vis Spectrophotometic Technique

A new simple, accurate and low cost-effective UV-VIS spectrophotometric methods has been developed for the analysis of chosen cephalosporins (ceftriaxone, ceftazidime) in bulk samples and pharmaceutical dosage forms by using a specific color-generated reaction. This method involves the Schiff 's base formation reaction between selected cephalosporins with alcoholic 5-sulfo salicylaldehyde reagent 5SSA with heating to establish a yellow colored product displaying λmax at 426 nm as well as 412 nm sequentially. These methods applied to the Beer's law through the range of concentration was (4 - 60 µg.ml-1), (5 -50µg ml-1) respectively for two drugs. The analysis results for these studies have been tested statistically by the studies of recovery. These methods were successfully applied to the determination of the cephalosporins in bulk form and in Pharmaceuticals additionally it was shown that these methods have equivalent accuracy with the common method(BP)estimation procedures for the studied drugs. The interferences from frequently taken excipients were no influence on the estimation process .The study could discover a good as an employment cost-influence and speed method which that possibility used for making quality control for these cephalosporin antibiotics.

Influence of Jamu Madura “Empot Super” on the Vaginal Epithelium Thickness of White Mice (Rattus Norvegicus) – an in Vivo Study

The aim of this research is to determine the influence of jamu Madura “Empot Super” (JMES) on the vaginal epithelium thickness of Rattus norvegicus in vivo. This research is kind of “true experimental-post test only control group design”. The rats were given drinking JMES once daily PS (Per-Sonde) for a month, then the vagina was taken to be sample for HE colouring. The sample was observed by the binocular microscope (100 times magnification) to identify the changes in the thickness of their vaginal epithelium. Calculation of the vaginal epithelium thickness was counted on the 10 field of view chosen randomly by the blind method. The result show that the vaginal epithelium thickness increased with dose 0,17mg/BW, 0,34mg/BW, and 0,68mg/BW of JMES compared with negative control group. But, the vaginal epithelium thickness decrease at the dose 0,51mg/BW compared with negative control group.
