Analisis data yang dilakukan adalah uji organoleptik, analisis kandungan gizi. dan analisis persentase angka kecukupan gizi serta analisis pasar terhadap produk. Hasil analisis produk menunjukkan bahwa formula II dapat menghasilkan produk es krim jamu empon-empon dengan rasa yang lebih enak dan penampilan visual yang lebih haik dibandingkan dengan formula I. Formula II juga mempunyai kandungan gizi yang cukup tinggi. Respon konsumen pada analisis pasar merepresentasikan penerimaan konsumen terhadap produk. Respon konsumen menunjukkan prospek es krim jamu empon-empon yang cukup baik

Heartwood of Secang (CAESALPINIA SAPPAN L.) Ethanolic Extract Show Selective Cytotoxic Activities on T47D and Widr Cells But Not on Hela Cells

The present study investigate the selectivity of heartwood of secang ethanolic extract (SEE) on T47D breast cancer cells, WiDr colon cancer cells, and HeLa cervical cancer cells, compared to Vero normal epithelial cells. The cytotoxic effect was evaluated by using MTT assay  with 24-hour treatment to get IC50values. Selectivity was evaluated by using selectivity index (SI). SEE had a potent cytotoxic activity on T47D and WiDr cancer cells (IC50 3), while in HeLa cells is not selective (SI < 3). This result indicating its potential of Caesalpinia sappan as a chemopreventive agent in cancer therapy.Keywords: Cancer, selectivity, Secang, T47D, WiDr, HeLa, Ver

Cytotoxic Activity and Apoptosis Induction of Ethanolic Extract of Pericarps of Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) on WiDr Cells and Interaction Study of Alpha-mangosteen to IKK and VEGF Based on Molecular Docking

One of the compounds found efficacious as an anti-proliferative on colon cancer is alpha-mangosteen, a xanthon compound that is abundant in pericarp of mangosteen. This study focused to evaluate anticancer activity of the ethanolic extract of pericarp of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) on WiDr colon cancer cells and to observe the affinity of alpha-mangosteen in inhibiting IKK and VEGF. Cytotoxic effect was tested by MTT assay and apoptosis induction was evaluated by double staining method on WiDr colon cancer cells, while interaction between alpha-mangosteen to the receptors was measured by molecular docking. The ethanolic extract was proven to have cytotoxic activity against WiDr colon cancer cells with IC50 of 25 µg/mL. In addition, the observation of apoptosis induction by double-staining method showed that apoptosis associated the cytotoxic effect of ethanolic extract of pericarp of mangosteen (EPM) on WiDr colon cancer cells. Molecular docking showed that active compounds in pericarp of mangosteen could compete with the native ligand of VEGF because the docking score of alpha-mangosteen was almost equal with native ligand. From these results we could be concluded that the cytotoxic effect of EPM to WiDr cells was mediated by cell apoptosis. This extract was potential to be developed as chemopreventive agent.Keywords : Garcinia mangostana Linn., cytotoxic effect, apoptosis, WiDr cell, molecular docking

Aktivitas Sitotoksik Ekstrak Etanolik Rimpang Temu Kunci (Boesenbergia pandurata) Terhadap Sel Kanker Serviks HeLa dan Sel Kanker Kolon WiDr

Temu kunci (Boesenbergia pandurata) rhizome showed cytotoxic effect against T47D breast cancer cell line. It contains Panduratin, a chalcone compund, that has been investigated as chemopreventive agent. The exploration of extract of temu kuci as chemopreventive agent was expected to be an alternative for cancer therapy. The aim of this research was to determine the cytotoxic activities of ethanolic extract of temu kunci against HeLa cervix cancer and WiDr colon cancer cell line. The cytotoxic activities of ethanolic extract of temu kunci were tested using MTT assay against HeLa and WiDr cells. The IC50 values were obtained using linier regression equation. The ethanolic extract of temu kunci showed cytotoxic activities on HeLa cervix cancer and WiDr colon cancer cell lines with IC50 at 87 µg/mL and 76 µg/mL, respectively. Low IC50 values (100 µg/mL) showed that ethanolic extract of temu kunci is potential to be developed as chemoprevention agent on cervix cancer and colon cancer. However, its molecular mecahanism need to be explored

Secang (Caesalpinia sappan L.) Heartwood Ethanolic Extract Shows Activity as Doxorubicin Co-chemotherapeutic Agent by Apoptotis Induction on T47D Breast Cancer Cells

Doxorubicin, primary chemoteurapeutic agent used for breast cancer treatment, is known to have various side effects included multi drug resistance (MDR) phenomenon. Therefore, exploration of co-chemotherapeutic agent is important to be conducted in order to prevent MDR. Secang (Caesalpinia sappan L.) which contains active compounds brazilin and brazilein, is proven to have activity as anticancer. The aim of this study is to determine the potency of Caesalpinia sappan L. ethanolic extract (CEE) as co-chemotherapeutic agent of doxorubicin and its mechanism through apoptosis induction on T47D breast cancer cells. Caesalpinia sappan L. heartwood powder was macerated with ethanol 70%. The cytotoxic effect of CEE alone and its combination with doxorubicin was analyzed using MTT assay. Apoptosis assay was done by flowcytometry-annexin V method. CEE showed cytotoxic activity on T47D cells with IC50 value of 35 µg/ml, while combinatorial test showed that all of combination doses of CEE and doxorubicin gave synergistic effect. Flowcytometry-annexin V assay proved that treatment of CEE induced apoptosis of doxorubicin. Based on these results, we conclude that Caesalpinia sappan L. heartwood ethanolic extract is potential to be developed as co-chemotherapeutic agent of doxorubicin. Keywords : Caesalpinia sappan L., doxorubicin, apoptosis, T47D cell

Taraxacum officinale Leaves Ethanolic Extract as Immunostimulatory Agent For Reducing Side Effect of Doxorubicin in Sprague Dawley Rats

Doxorubicin as chemotherapeutic agent causes immunosuppresive. The aim for this study to determine the effect of ethanolic extract of Taraxacum oficinale (ETO) in immunity system of Sprague Dawley rat that induced by doxorubicin to observe the profile of immunity cells. Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups each groups contain five rats: control doxorubicin group, doxorubicin dose 4,67 mg/kgBW+ ETO dose 1000 mg/kgBW, doxorubicin dose 4,67 mg/kgBW+ ETO dose 500 mg/kgBW, control extract group, and without treatment. Then the number of leukocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils were analyzed by hematology analyzer, whereas CD8+ T lymphocytes by flowcytometry. Results showed groups of doxorubicin combined with ETO dose 1000 mg/kgBW and 500 mg/kgBW increased the number of leukocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils,  cytotoxic CD8 + T cells T cells compared to control doxorubicin group. These data presents that etanolic extract of Jombang leaves has immunostimulatory activity and potential as co-chemotherapy agents. Molecullar mechanism underlaying it’s immune activity need to be explored in detail. Keywords: co-chemotheraphy, doxorubicin, immunostimulatory, in vivo Taraxacum officinal

Ethanolic Extract of Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) Peel Inhibits T47D and Hela Cells Line Proliferation Via Nf-қB Pathway Inhibition

Effective and selective chemoterapeutic and chemopreventive agent is needed to cure breast and cervical cancers. One of the potential natural material is mangosteen peel (Garcinia mangostana). In this study, we observed cytotoxic effect of ethanolic extract of mangosteen peel (EMP) on HeLa cells line and T47D cells line. The cytotoxic effect was determined using MTT assay.EMP showed cytotoxic effect on T47D cells and HeLa cells with IC50 values of 2.07 μg/ml and 10.58 µg/ml respectively. Molecular docking simulation was done to predict the molecular mechanism of active compund in mangosteen peel extract, α-mangostin, in NFқB pathway which is one of the potential pathway to induce cytotoxicity on T47D and HeLa cells. Docking was done using PLANTS software and the binding score between α-mangostin and proteasom is -78,12, whereas the binding score between α-mangostin and IKK is -86.84. These results showed the possiblity mechanism of mangostin peel extract containing α-mangostin inhibits IKK activation in NFқB pathway. Based on this study, we conclude that mangosteen peel extract is potential to be developed as chemopreventive agent toward cervical and breast cancers.
