Nanostructured Lipid Carrier NLc is a new technology of the nanoemulsion type. The advantage of NLc is to increase the bioavailability of non polar active substances. White ginger / big ginger Zingiber officinale Roscoe is a medicinal plant that proves effective as an in vitro anti-toxoplasma. This plant has bioactive compounds named gingerols that are semi-polar. Red ginger Zingiber officinale Rosc var Rubrum is another variant of ginger that contains a higher content of gingerols compared to white ginger/big ginger so, therefore it is used in this study to increase the activity of anti-toxoplasma. In order to enhance its effectiveness for in vivo study, the ginger extract is formulated into NLc form that is become the background of this research. The purpose of this study is to obtain the extraction method and to obtain the most effective red ginger extract in vitro on T. gondii takhizoit stage, to obtain the red ginger NLc-extract formula with the best characteristics, and to obtain of anti-toxoplasma activity at the tachizoite stage of NLc-the best red ginger extract. The methods include red ginger extraction screening with two types of extraction process and three types of extracting solvents. Furthermore, the extract tested the effectiveness on tachizoite in vitro using vero cells that induced a tachizoite strain of RH. The most effective extracts were formulated into NLc forms with variations in lipid and water phase concentrations, and the compositions of the liquid lipids and lipids. Formation of NLc was done by High-Pressure Homogenizer method of pressure 450 barr with the variation of cycle number. The NLc evaluation includes the distribution and particle size, and zeta potentials performed so determine the most stable NLc-red ginger extract. In addition, the determination of the effectiveness of adsorption, particle shape morphology analysis and stability test on the best red NLc-ginger formula. The next step is the in vivo test including an acute toxicity test and the effectiveness test, using intraperitoneally induced tachizoite mice. The results showed that the most effective extraction method was the maceration method with 96 ethanol because the extract produced JE96M could inhibit the high tachizoite growth in vero cells. The best NLc-red ginger extract formula is F7A with the composition of palm oil: olive oil: lipids S75 = 14: 5,5 : 5,5 25 lipid phase and 2 red ginger extract level. Formula NLc-red ginger extract F7A at a dose of 100-200 mg / kgbb is peroral effective as an anti-toxoplasma in mice, able to increase mice life above 70 after induced by tachizoite."

"Paparan radikal bebas berlebih dapat menimbulkan stres oksidatif yang menyebabkan permasalahan pada kulit. Hal ini umumnya disebabkan akibat paparan sinar UV dan polusi udara. Untuk mengatasi efek buruk akibat radikal bebas, kulit memerlukan antioksidan yang cukup untuk mencegah reaksi oksidasi, salah satunya dengan tokotrienol. Aktivitas antioksidan pada tokotrienol dapat mencegah reaksi oksidasi oleh radikal bebas yang berlebih pada kulit. Penggunaan tokotrienol banyak dimanfaatkan pada kosmetik topikal sebagai antioksidan untuk melindungi kulit. Namun toktorienol memiliki keterbatasan yaitu tidak stabil dikarenakan adanya ikatan rangkap pada rantai samping tokotrienol, sehingga tokotrienol mudah teroksidasi. Akibat dari ketidakstabilan tokotrienol, hal ini dapat menurunkan efektivitas antioksidan dari tokotrienol. Salah satu strategi yang dapat dilakukan untuk menjaga stabilitas tokotrienol adalah dengan memformulasikan tokotrienol kedalam Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC). NLC terdiri atas campuran lipid padat dan lipid cair dengan penambahan surfaktan. Matriks campuran lipid pada NLC mampu melindungi tokotrienol dari pengaruh luar sehingga tetap tarjaga stabilitasnya. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah mengkaji lebih dalam mengenai nanokosmetik tokotrienol sebagai antioksidan untuk kulit dengan penghantaran NLC untuk menjaga stabilitas tokotrienol. NLC salah satu bentuk nanokosmetik yang berpotensi diaplikasikan sebagai sistem penghantaran kosmetik  yang dapat menjaga stabilitas zat aktif.

Exposure to excessive free radicals can cause oxidative stress which leads to problems on the skin. Often time this is caused by UV rays exposure and air pollution. In order to prevent oxidative stress the skin needs enough antioxidants, one of which is tocotrienol. Commercial industry, especially cosmetics, often uses tocotrienol for topical application on the skin. However, because of the double bonds on its side chain, tocotrienol is not a stable compound, making it easily oxidized. The unstable structure of tocotrienol can reduce the antioxidants effect, which is the essential feature of tocotrienol. One strategy that can maintain the stability of tocotrienol is combining it with Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC). NLC is a delivery system molecule made from a mixture of solid lipids and liquid lipids with the addition of surfactants. NLC can protect the tocotrienol in the lipid matrix from external influences so that the stability is maintained. The purpose of writing this article is to examine more deeply about the nanocosmetic of tocotrienol as antioxidants for the skin by delivering NLC to maintain stability of tocotrienol.

NLC is a form of nanocosmetics that has the potential to be applied as a cosmetic delivery system that can maintain the stability of active substances.

MnFe2O4/NGP nanocomposites with variations of 5, 10, and 15 wt.% were used as

catalysts to degrade methylene blue in the photocatalytic and sonocatalytic

processes. MnFe2O4 and MnFe2O4/NGP 5, 10, 15 wt.% were synthesized using the

hydrothermal method. Impurities and other phases were not found in x-ray

diffraction (XRD) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements. The presence of

NGP was confirmed by XRD measurements, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA),

Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The increase in

specific sample area as NGP increases was confirmed by Brunauer-Emmet Teller

(BET) measurements. The morphology of MnFe2O4 which resembles a square and

tends to congregate was obtained from transmission electron microscopy (TEM)

measurements. The catalyst has better degradation ability in photocatalytic

processes with visible light than UV light. The best system conditions for the

catalyst to degrade methylene blue were at a catalyst dose of 0.2 g / L, 8 mL H2O2

concentration, and a pH of 13. The addition of NGP to MnFe2O4 was proven to

increase the degradation ability of methylene blue. The catalyst has also been shown

to have high stability after being used five times. The active species of catalyst in

photocatalytic and sonocatalytic processes are hydroxyl radicals"
