Optimization Of 3,4-Dimethoxychalcone And Rutin Containing Gel With Simplex Lattice Design And In Vitro-In Vivo Test As A Sunscreen, Hana Anisa Fatimi, Abdul Karim Zulkarnain, Marlyn Dian Laksitorini
Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research
3,4-Dimethoxychalcone and rutin, a flavonoid that contains chromophore groups, can absorb UV light and thus can be developed as a sunscreen. The objective of this study was to determine the optimum formula of 3,4-dimethoxychalcone and rutin containing gel, evaluate its physical stability, and activity of 3,4-dimethoxychalcone and rutin gel as a sunscreen through in vitro and in vivo tests. HPMC, CMC-Na, and methylcellulose were formulated into a gel base to obtain good adhesion and a clear appearance gel. Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) with Design Expert software version 10 was utilized to determine the optimum gel formulation. UVA-PF protection, photostability with …

Enzim Papain: Aspek Green Chemistry Pada Reaksi Knoevenagel, Laurentius Haryanto, Antonius Herry Cahyana
Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research
Green chemistry aspect is the chemical approach that has been studied in the past two decade. One of the principles is the development of green synthesis process that is friendly for the environment. This research showed that papain can be used as catalyst for Knoevenagel reaction with 3 kinds of substituted-benzaldehyde and malononitrile as substrates in aqueous medium. The best reaction condition with 80% yield was reached by utilizing of 25 mg papain/mmol substrate. Reaction was conducted at ambient temperature and pressure for 30 min. Products were as yellowish to yellow needle crystals and successfully characterized by melting point, UV-Vis, …
