Formulation and evaluation of encapsulated Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff. ethanolic extract in lipid vesicles for hemorrhoid treatment

Context: Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff. leaves (GPL) are traditionally used in Indonesia to treat hemorrhoids, and the anti-hemorrhoid activity of the ethanolic extract of G. pictum leaves (GPLE) has been proven scientifically. However, since it contains a variety of compounds, both hydrophilic and lipophilic, which has diverse solubility, absorption, and penetration characteristic, there is a need to be formulated to improve its effectiveness. Lipid nanocarrier formulations, such as liposome and ethosome, can be developed as the delivery system for GPLE to enhance its effectiveness. Aims: To evaluate the anti-hemorrhoid activity of the liposomal and ethosomal formulation of GPLE. Methods: The hydration method was used to prepare GPLE liposomal (GL) and ethosomal (GE) formulations. An in vivo study was conducted to evaluate the penetration and effectiveness of both formulations. The in vivo test was evaluated based on the recto-anal tissue histological observation after treatment of the formulation to croton oil-induced hemorrhoid mice. The number of inflammatory cells, goblet cells, hemorrhage area, and mucosal thickness were compared between both formulations and the extract. Results: GE had a smaller particle size, 145.7 ± 5.75 nm, with a polydispersity index (PDI) value of 0.376 ± 0.031. Meanwhile, GL showed a particle size of 407.80 ± 11.32 nm, with a PDI value of 0.389 ± 0.019. The zeta potential (ZP) of GL was -2.0200 ± 0.0513 mV and -0.0109 ± 0.0257 mV for GE. GE exhibited a better penetration and activity profile than GL, which was assumed to be correlated to its smaller particle size and component of the formulation. GE was able to penetrate up to the submucosa layer; meanwhile, GL only reached the muscularis mucosa. GE revealed better anti-hemorrhoid activity as it showed a lesser number of inflammatory cells, goblet cells, and necrosis cells. Additionally, it exhibited a smaller hemorrhage area and muscular mucose cell thickness compared to GL. However, there was no significant difference statistically. Conclusions: These findings suggest that lipid vesicles are a suitable delivery system for GPLE in the anti-hemorrhoid treatment.

ETHNOBOTANICAL ANALYSIS OF PHYTONYMS AND PLANT-RELATED GLOSSES MENTIONED IN BUJANGGA MANIK, A PRE-ISLAMIC SUNDANESE TEXT (15TH CENTURY JAVA, INDONESIA)

This study aimed to identify and analyze ethnobotanical data on phytonym, utilization, and cultural value of plants mentioned in an Old Sundanese text. Since plants are mentioned with their vernacular names, identification was based on an exhaustive bibliographical search of the respective scientific name. A comprehensive investigation led to the identification of a total of 85 Old Sundanese phytonyms, which represented vernacular names for 79 distinct plant species. Furthermore, by considering the number of identified species from the plant-related glosses, 93 species belonging to 57 genera and 44 plant families were registered. Among these plant families, Arecaceae (12 species), Poaceae (nine species), and Fabaceae (six species) exhibited the highest number of identified species. In addition to the phytonyms, 36 phytotoponyms, which utilize vernacular phytonyms to designate settlements, hermitages, ports, mountains, and rivers were identified. It was worth noting that the majority of the plants associated with these phytotoponyms were indigenous. Meanwhile, only 13 species were traced back to the pre-Columbian exchange period during the Austronesian migration and the Indianization-Sinicization era in IndoMalayan history. The result showed that the predominantly mentioned utilization included beverage production, textile manufacturing, vessel craftsmanship, betel quid preparation, perfume creation, and incense production. Among the identified species, Areca catechu emerges as the most frequently mentioned in the text, along with Graptophyllum pictum and Cordyline fruticosa, which were also considered as possessing profound spiritual value due to association with heavenly realms. Furthermore, the text highlighted that the production of plant-based fragrance products, also referenced in the celestial domain, held significant prominence in global trade during the 15th century
