Indonesia is a country with tropical climate and has high humidity. This condition stimulates the growth of Candida albicans and causes a fungal infection. Various studies have been carried out to obtain candidate compounds for antifungal based on natural resources such as plants and have low side effects, especially lipid derivatives such as lipoamide compounds. In this research, the esterification of oleic acid with dry methanol was carried out using HCl as an acid catalyst to produce methyl oleate (MO). Furthermore, the double bond in MO is oxidized using dilute KMnO4 under alkaline conditions at 25oC low temperature. The success of oxidation was indicated by the decrease in the iodine value from 79,56 mg/g to 4,82 mg/g. Furthermore, the oxidized methyl oleate was amidated with the amino acid glycine and phenylalanine. The products obtained were identified by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and characterized by FT- IR. FTIR results of lipoamides show overlapping between -OH and -NH stretch around 3200 – 3500 cm-1, C=O amide at 11652 cm-1 and 1666 cm-1, and C-N stretch at 1326 cm- 1 and 1248 cm-1 for lipoamide – glycine and lipoamide – phenylalanine.

Introduction: Candida krusei’s fluconazole resistance is a growing concern in superficial candidiasis and candidemia treatment. Lombok propolis, rich in flavonoids, is a potential alternative. This research explores the antifungal activity of Lombok propolis against Candida krusei growth. Method: In vitro experiments used Agar well diffusion (for inhibition zone diameter measurement), and Broth microdilution (for optical density changes) followed by fungal culture (for MIC determination). Groups in Agar well diffusion included Lombok propolis ethanol extracts at concentrations of 500.000 ppm, 700.000 ppm, and 1.000.000 ppm, fluconazole (positive control), and 10% DMSO (negative control), with the addition of growth control and medium control in Broth microdilution. Result: This study found significant between-group differences in Agar well diffusion (p = 0,025) and Broth microdilution (p = 0,001), with the largest average inhibition zone at 700.000 ppm (9,67 mm) and the greatest average optical density decrease at 500.000 ppm (0.2308). Post hoc tests for Agar well diffusion revealed no significant difference and for Broth microdilution the optical density difference was significantly lower for 500.000 ppm compared to negative control and medium control, as well as for 700.000 ppm compared to positive control, growth control, and medium control. Fungal culture showed Candida krusei growth at all propolis concentrations. Conclusion: Lombok propolis collected from Trigona clypearis has the potential to inhibit the growth of Candida krusei. However, to be established as an alternative treatment, its effect has to be optimized. MIC value determination was inconclusive."

Elevated levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum) and secang (Caesalpinia sappan L) are herbal plants that are often used in Indonesia as medicine. This study aimed to examine the effect of red ginger extract (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum) and secang (Caesalpinia sappan) on lipid profiles in hyperlipidemic animal models. To analyze the effect of red ginger extract (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum) and secang (Caesalpinia sappan L) on plasma lipid profile, the test animals were divided into 6 groups; the normal group (CMC Na 0.5%) and the negative group (CMC Na 0.5%), the positive group (Aspirin), and the combination group extract dose 1, dose 2, and dose 3. The results of the analysis showed that the administration of red ginger extract -Secang reduced total cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly (p<0.05) in all dose groups from week 8 to 10. In addition, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels at week 10 showed a significant difference (p<0 0.05) between the negative control group and the positive control group, dose I, dose II, and dose III. The positive group at week 10 showed no significant difference (p<0.05) against the dose I, dose II, and dose III groups. Thus, three variations of the composition of red ginger-secang extract were able to reduce total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, with dose III (800 mg: 200 mg/200 g BW) resulted in the highest reduction in total cholesterol and triglyceride level."

"Candida sp. merupakan jamur komensal penyebab infeksi invasif kandidiasis. Candida albicans memiliki sifat dominan sehingga Candida lain sulit untuk dideteksi dan dapat mengarah pada kesalahan terapi. Candida non-albicans seperti Candida krusei juga memiliki resistensi terhadap obat antijamur. Metode deteksi menggunakan qPCR dapat mempersingkat waktu untuk diagnosis dan memiliki spesifisitas deteksi yang baik untuk deteksi kandidiasis invasif. Namun penggunaan metode ini memerlukan primer spesifik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi spesifisitas novel primer Ca2 yang mendeteksi Candida albicans dan Cc3 yang mendeteksi Candida krusei serta membedakan keduanya dari spesies Candida dan jamur lainnya. Pengujian spesifisitas dilakukan menggunakan metode qPCR berbasis intercalating dye SYBR Green dengan suhu annealing 60℃ untuk primer Ca2 dan 58℃ untuk primer Cc3, masing-masing sebanyak 40 siklus. Pengujian dilakukan terhadap sebelas spesies jamur Candida termasuk C. albicans dan C. krusei; satu spesies teleomorf jamur Candida, Clavispora lusitaniae; dan dua spesies jamur dari genus lain, yaitu Malassezia dan Aspergillus. Hasil uji primer Ca2 menunjukkan nilai Ct 25,23 dan Tm 83,58 untuk Candida albicans, sedangkan primer Cc3 menunjukkan nilai Ct 35,00 dan Tm 88,24 untuk Candida krusei serta Ct 23,41 dan Tm 88,80 untuk Clavispora lusitaniae. Primer Ca2 spesifik mendeteksi C. albicans. Sementara itu primer Cc3 tidak spesifik mendeteksi Candida krusei, namun dapat mendeteksi Clavispora lusitaniae. Walaupun demikian, primer Cc3 masih dapat digunakan untuk penggunaan klinis karena rendahnya infeksi Clavispora lusitaniae di Indonesia.

Candida sp. are commensal yeasts that can result in invasive infection such as Candidiasis. Candida albicans-dominant characteristic caused medication error due to difficulty of other Candida detection. Candida non-albicans such as Candida krusei has high resistance against antifungi drugs. Detection method using qPCR offers shorter amount of time for diagnosis and has high specificity for detecting invasive candidiasis. However, this method requires specific primers. In this study, we evaluate specificity of novel primer Ca2 for detecting Candida albicans and Cc3 for detecting Candida krusei and differentiate both species from other Candida and yeast species. The specificity test was done in qPCR with intercalating dye SYBR Green applying 40 cycles and annealing temperature at 60 ℃ for Ca2 and 58℃ for Cc3. Samples are eleven Candida species including C. albicans and C. krusei; one species of Candida in a teleomorph form, Clavispora lusitaniae; and two species of another genus, Malassezia and Aspergillus. Primer Ca2 identified Candida albicans with Ct value 25,23 and Tm 83,58. Primer Cc3 identified Candida krusei with Ct value 35,00 and Tm 88,24 as well as Clavispora lusitaniae with Ct value 23,41 and Tm 88,80. Primer Ca2 specific for detecting C. albicans and primer Cc3 not specific for detecting Candida krusei, but also able to detecting Clavispora lusitaniae.However, the primer still acceptable for clinical use due to low prevalence of Clavispora lusitaniae infection in Indonesia."
