RESUMO

The Indonesian archipelago is home to the second largest biodiversity in the world and is inhabited by more than 300 ethnic groups with a total population of more than 270 million. The indigenous population still rely on traditional medicine practices, especially the use of plant-based remedies. Although modern science-based exploration on Indonesian medicinal plants started with the European settlement in the archipelago in the 16th century, it was not until the 1970's that the phytochemistry of Indonesian medicinal plants was recognized for its potency. The need for new cancer cures to increase the quality of human life has led to the bioprospecting of medicinal plants including those of Indonesian origin. Despite published reports on the anticancer potency of Indonesian medicinal plants, to date there has been no comprehensive review on this topic. In this manuscript, we review the phytochemical and pharmacological studies on medicinal plants from Indonesia related to cancer therapy. Established databases (GARUDA, SciFinder, and PubMed) were used to collate data from 1990 to 2022, resulting in the description of 134 medicinal plants and their phytochemical and pharmacological properties including examples containing potent agents against breast, leukaemia, cervix, lung, and colon cancer cell lines based on in vitro bioassays and in vivo evaluation. These findings provide valuable insights into the bioprospecting of Indonesian medicinal plant providing directions for future studies, including the development of new therapeutics, both as botanicals or by using conventional dosage.

RESUMO

The archipelagic country of Indonesia is inhabited by 300 ethnic groups, including the indigenous people of Tengger. Based on the reported list of medicinal plants used by the Tengger community, we have reviewed each of them for their phytochemical constituents and pharmacological activities. Out of a total of 41 medicinal plants used by the Tengerrese people, 33 species were studied for their phytochemical and pharmacological properties. More than 554 phytochemicals with diverse molecular structures belonging to different chemical classes including flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins and volatiles were identified from these studied 34 medicinal plants. Many of these medicinal plants and their compounds have been tested for various pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, wound healing, headache, antimalarial and hypertension. Five popularly used medicinal plants by the healers were Garcinia mangostana, Apium graveolens, Cayratia clematidea, Drymocallis arguta and Elaeocarpus longifolius. Only A. graviolens were previously studied, with the outcomes supporting the pharmacological claims to treat hypertension. Few unexplored medicinal plants are Physalis lagascae, Piper amplum, Rosa tomentosa and Tagetes tenuifolia, and they present great potential for biodiscovery and drug lead identification.

RESUMO

This is an extensive review on epiphytic plants that have been used traditionally as medicines. It provides information on 185 epiphytes and their traditional medicinal uses, regions where Indigenous people use the plants, parts of the plants used as medicines and their preparation, and their reported phytochemical properties and pharmacological properties aligned with their traditional uses. These epiphytic medicinal plants are able to produce a range of secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, and a total of 842 phytochemicals have been identified to date. As many as 71 epiphytic medicinal plants were studied for their biological activities, showing promising pharmacological activities, including as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer agents. There are several species that were not investigated for their activities and are worthy of exploration. These epipythes have the potential to furnish drug lead compounds, especially for treating cancers, and thus warrant indepth investigations.

RESUMO

In order to enhance essential oil's stability and water insolubility, Massoia aromatica oil nanoemulsion was formulated and tested on the planktonic growth and biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans; macrophage phagocytosis and on Vero cells viability. Oil in water nanoemulsion formula was optimized by using several solvents and co-solvents composition. The stability test of the formula was conducted by using a six cycle's freeze-thaw technique. Particle size and morphology were analyzed using a particle size analyzer and transmission electron microscopy. Microbial growth, biofilm formation inhibition, and cytotoxicity assays were performed on the optimized formula by using micro dilution methods. Mice macrophage phagocytosis activities against latex and C. albicans in the presence of samples were evaluated. Massoia nanoemulsion was obtained as a transparent yellowish emulsion having 99.6-99.9% of transmittance; physically and chemically stable; showed stronger antibacterial and antibiofilm on P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, moderate to C. albicans; no significant different on phagocytic activities. The IC50 of massoia oil nanoemulsion and massoia oil towards Vero cells were 35.9µg/mL and 107.5µg/mL respectively. Massoia oil nanoemulsion can protect the stability and decreases the hydrophobicity of the oil, conserve the antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities, but increases its cytotoxicity.
