"Hipertensi memiliki berbagai pilihan pengobatan karena kompleksitas patofisiologinya, termasuk intervensi terhadap inflamasi, sehingga bahan alami yang menargetkan berbagai mekanisme dapat dipertimbangkan. Ekstrak rosella dapat menurunkan tekanan darah dengan menghambat ACE, sementara penambahan ekstrak jahe merah diharapkan dapat mendukung pengobatan hipertensi melalui intervensi inflamasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi aktivitas antihipertensi kombinasi ekstrak rosella dan jahe merah pada tikus model hipertensi yang diinduksi DOCA-salt. Studi dilakukan terhadap enam kelompok tikus (n=5) yang terdiri dari satu kelompok normal dan lima kelompok tikus model hipertensi. Tikus model hipertensi diinduksi dengan pemberian 30 mg/kgBB DOCA secara subkutan dan NaCl 2% sebagai pengganti air minum selama tiga minggu. Kelompok tikus model terdiri dari kontrol negatif (CMC 0,5%), kontrol positif (4,5 mg/200 g BB kaptopril), dan 3 kelompok dosis kombinasi ekstrak rosella-jahe merah (50:3,5 mg/300gBB; 100:7 mg/300gBB; dan 200:14 mg/300gBB). Pemberian sediaan uji dilakukan secara peroral selama dua minggu kemudian diukur tekanan darah, level biomarker RAAS dan mediator inflamasi. Hasil uji antihipertensi menunjukkan kombinasi ekstrak rosella-jahe merah yang mengandung sianidin-3-sambubiosida dan 6-gingerol memiliki aktivitas antihipertensi karena mempengaruhi tekanan darah sistolik-diastolik secara signifikan pada ketiga dosis uji; level renin secara signifikan pada dosis 50:3,5mg /300grBB dan 200:14mg/300grBB; aktivitas ACE secara signifikan pada ketiga dosis, dan level angiotensin II secara signifikan pada dosis 100:7mg/300grBB dan dosis 200:14mg/300grBB serta terhadap level IL-17A secara signifikan pada dosis 100:7mg/300grBB dan 200:14mg/300grBB. Dosis optimalnya adalah 100:7mg/300gBB, dengan penurunan tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik tikus model hipertensi secara berturut-turut sebesar ± 45 mmHg (27,6%) sistolik dan ± 39 mmHg (33,2%).

Hypertension offers diverse treatment options due to its complex pathophysiology, including interventions targeting inflammation, thus natural substances that target multiple mechanisms worth considering. Roselle extract reduces blood pressure by inhibiting ACE, while the addition of red ginger extract is anticipated to support hypertension treatment through inflammation intervention. This research aims to evaluate the antihypertensive activity of combination extracts of rosella-red ginger in DOCA-salt-induced hypertension model rats. This study was conducted on six groups of rats (n=5), comprising one normal group and five groups of hypertension model rats. The hypertension was induced in rat models by subcutaneous administration of 30mg/kgBW of DOCA and 2% NaCl as substitute for drinking water for three weeks. The model rat groups were comprised of negative control (0.5%CMC), positive control (4.5mg/200gBW captopril), and three doses groups of roselle-red ginger extract (50:3.5mg/300gBW; 100:7mg/300gBW; and 200:14mg/300gBW). The test preparations were given by oral gavage over two weeks then blood pressure, RAAS biomarker levels, and inflammation mediator were measured. The anti-hypertensive test results indicated combination of roselle-red ginger extract containing cyanidin-3-sambubioside and 6-gingerol has antihypertensive activity as it affects systolic-diastolic blood pressure significantly at all test doses; renin level significantly at doses 50:3.5mg/300grBW and 200:14mg/300grBW; ACE activity significantly at all doses, and angiotensin II level significantly at doses 100:7mg/300grBW and 200:14mg/300grBW and IL-17A level significantly at doses 100:7mg/300grBW and 200:14mg/300grBW. The optimal dose was 100:7mg/300gBW, resulting in reductions of approximately ±45 mmHg (27.6%) in systolic and ±39 mmHg (33.2%) in diastolic blood pressure in the hypertensive rat model."

"Secang (Caesalpinia sappan L.) dan jahe merah (Zingiber officinale var rubrum) adalah dua tanaman obat tradisional yang sering dimanfaatkan di Indonesia dan keduanya memiliki kandungan senyawa fenolik. Secang telah menunjukkan aktivitas inhibisi agregasi platelet yang kemungkinan berasal dari kandungan brazilin dan brazilein, yang keduanya telah menunjukkan aktivitas antitrombotik. Secara umum, jahe (Zingiber officinale) juga telah menunjukkan efek antiagregasi platelet yang dikaitkan dengan kandungan gingerol dan shogaol, namun belum ada evaluasi serupa untuk jahe merah secara spesifik. Di sisi lain, jahe telah terbukti memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang dikaitkan dengan kandungan senyawa [6]-gingerol, [6]-shogaol, dan gingerdione, yang ketiganya memiliki konsentrasi lebih tinggi dalam jahe merah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek dari pemberian variasi kombinasi secang dengan jahe merah terhadap aktivasi platelet pada hewan uji, diamati dari perubahan pada biomarker tromboksan B2 (TxB2). Kadar TxB2 dari kelompok yang diberikan intervensi berupa campuran ekstrak secang dan jahe merah dalam variasi dosis 1 (50 mg secang dan 200 mg jahe merah/200 gram berat badan) dan dosis 2 (100 mg secang dan 400 mg jahe merah/200 gram berat badan) secara signifikan lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol negatif (dosis 1 p=0,013; dosis 2 p=0,004). Oleh karena itu, dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa campuran ekstrak secang dan jahe merah dengan variasi dosis 1 dan 2 memiliki efek inhibisi aktivasi platelet jika diamati melalui parameter TxB2. Tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara efek variasi dosis 1 dan dosis 2 terhadap kadar TxB2 pada hewan uji.

Secang (Caesalpinia sappan L.) and red ginger (Zingiber officinale var rubrum) are two traditional medicinal plants that are often used in Indonesia and both contain phenolic compounds. Secang has shown platelet aggregation inhibitory activity which is probably due to its content of brazilin and brazilein, both of which have shown antithrombotic activity. In general, ginger (Zingiber officinale) has also shown an antiplatelet aggregation effect associated with gingerol and shogaol content, but there has been no similar evaluation for red ginger specifically. On the other hand, ginger has been shown to have antioxidant activity which is attributed to the content of compounds [6]-gingerol, [6]-shogaol, and gingerdione, all of which have higher concentrations in red ginger. This study aims to determine the effect of the variation of the combination of secang with red ginger on platelet activation in test animals, observed from changes in the biomarker of thromboxane B2 (TxB2). TxB2 levels from the intervention group in the form of a mixture of secang and red ginger extracts in varying doses of 1 (50 mg secang and 200 mg red ginger/200 gram body weight) and dose 2 (100 mg secang and 400 mg red ginger/200 gram body weight). ) was significantly smaller than the negative control group (dose 1 p=0.013; dose 2 p=0.004). Therefore, it can be concluded that a mixture of secang and red ginger extracts with variations in doses 1 and 2 has an inhibitory effect on platelet activation when observed through the TxB2 parameter. There was no significant difference between the effects of variations in dose 1 and dose 2 on TxB2 levels in test animals."

"Peningkatan kadar kolesterol total dan trigliserida merupakan faktor risiko penyakit kardiovaskular. Jahe merah (Zingiber officinale var.

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."

Hyperlipidemic rat model given high fat diet can experience platelet activation due to ruptured atherosclerotic plaque and develop into cardiovascular disease. 6-Shogaol and 6-Gingerol in red ginger and brazilin in sappan extract was proven in vitro to act as antiplatelet substances. This study aims to examine the efficacy of red ginger and sappan in vivo with bleeding time parameters in hyperlipidemic rat model. Eighteen rats were divided into six groups, namely the normal control group and the hyperlipidemic group consisting of negative control group, positive control group, dose variants 1, 2, and 3. The administration of high fat diet consisting of 50% goat fat, 15% butter, 20% fructose, 2% pure cholesterol, 0.5% cholic acid, and 12.5% ​​coconut oil were given to the hyperlipidemic group until the 10th week and given the dose according to the type of group at the 8th week of induction. Total cholesterol and triglyceride levels reached the cut off in the group of hyperlipidemic rats at the 8th week of induction with significantly different (p < 0.05). The resulting bleeding time increased with the increase in the dose of the extract, where the longest duration of bleeding time occurred at dose 3 with a ratio of red ginger and sappan of 800 mg: 200 mg per 200 grams of body weight of rats, which was 15.99 minutes."

"Kondisi hiperlipidemia meningkatkan aktivasi platelet, yaitu platelet factor 4 dalam pembuluh darah. Aktivasi platelet berkontribusi terhadap perkembangan proses aterosklerosis. Pada studi ini dilihat potensi variasi dosis ekstrak jahe merah dan secang sebagai penghambat aktivasi platelet melalui parameter platelet factor 4. Induksi diet tinggi lemak dilakukan untuk menciptakan kondisi platelet yang teraktivasi pada hewan uji. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan 18 ekor tikus wistar jantan yang dibagi menjadi 3 tikus kelompok normal dan 15 tikus pada kelompok induksi diet tinggi lemak selama 10 minggu. Pada minggu ke-8, 15 tikus dibagi ke dalam 5 kelompok yaitu kontrol negatif, positif dengan aspirin dan variasi 3 dosis ekstrak jahe merah dan secang. Hasil analisis menunjukan bahwa konsentrasi platelet factor 4 pada kelompok dosis 3 secara signifikan (p<0,05) lebih rendah dibandingkan kelompok negatif. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa pemberian ekstrak jahe merah dan secang pada dosis 3 (jahe merah : secang = 800mg : 200mg/200gBB) mampu menurunkan kadar platelet factor 4 pada model hewan yang diinduksi diet tinggi lemak.

Hyperlipidemia conditions increase the activation of platelets, namely platelet factor 4 in the blood vessels. Platelet activation contributes to the development of the atherosclerotic process. In this study, we looked at the potential of red ginger and sappan heartwood extract as an inhibitor of platelet activation through the parameter of platelet factor 4. Induction of a high-fat diet was carried out to create an activated platelet condition in experimental animals. The study was conducted using 18 male wistar rats which were divided into 3 rats in the normal group and 15 rats in the high fat diet induction group for 10 weeks. At week 8, 15 rats were divided into 5 groups, namely negative control, positive control with aspirin and variations of 3 doses of red ginger and sappan heartwood extract. The results of the analysis showed that the concentration of platelet factor 4 in dose 3 group was significantly (p<0.05) lower than the negative group. Therefore, the administration of red ginger and sappan heartwood extract at dose 3 (red ginger: sappan heartwood = 800mg: 200mg/200gBB) could decrease platelet factor 4 concentration in animal models induced by a high-fat diet."

"Penyakit kardiovaskular merupakan salah satu penyakit dengan morbiditas yang tinggi di Indonesia. Salah satu faktor utama penyebabnya yaitu hiperlipidemia yang juga berkaitan dengan aktivasi platelet yang memicu pembentukan trombus. PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin 9) diketahui terlibat dalam metabolisme lipid karena mampu mendegradasi reseptor LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) sehingga mempengaruhi kadarnya dalam plasma. Penelitian terkait PCSK9 juga telah menghasilkan adanya hubungan langsung antara PCSK9 dengan aktivasi platelet. Rimpang jahe merah dan kulit kayu secang merupakan tanaman yang dikenal khasiatnya turun temurun oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah ada ditemukan potensi ekstrak jahe merah dan secang sebagai antiplatelet. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan evaluasi efek pemberian 3 kombinasi ekstrak jahe merah secang terhadap kadar PCSK9 sebagai marker aktivasi platelet dengan heman model hiperlipidemia yang diinduksi HFD (High Fat Diet). Kadar kolesterol total dan trigliserida dari 18 ekor sampel plasma tikus Wistar jantan pada minggu ke-8 diukur dengan spektro UV kemudian diperoleh hasil signifikan (p<0,05) dibanding kelompok normal. Pada minggu ke-8 hingga 10 tikus tetap diinduksi HFD dan juga diberikan perlakuan berbeda setiap kelompoknya dengan tambahan pemberian CMC 0,5% pada kelompok normal dan negatif, aspirin dosis 81 mg/KgBB pada kelompok positif dan tiga variasi dosis kombinasi ekstrak jahe merah dan secang. Pada minggu ke-10 kadar PCSK9 plasma diukur dan diperoleh bahwa dosis 3 ekstrak jahe merah-secang (800:200 mg/200 g BB tikus) memberikan hasil kadar PCSK9 terendah secara deskriptif dan berbeda signifikan dengan kadar PCSK9 kelompok negatif (p<0.05).<

Cardiovascular disease is one of the diseases with high morbidity in Indonesia. One of the main factors causing hyperlipidemia is also related to platelet activation that triggers thrombus formation. PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin 9) is known to be involved in lipid metabolism because it is able to degrade LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) receptors so that it affects its plasma levels. Studies related to PCSK9 have also shown a direct relationship between PCSK9 and platelet activation. Red ginger rhizome and sappan wood are plants that are known for their usefulness from generation to generation by the people of Indonesia. Based on existing research, it was found the potential of red ginger extract and secang as an antiplatelet. In this study, an evaluation of the effect of giving 3 combinations of red ginger and sappan wood extract of PCSK9 levels as a marker of platelet activation was carried out with the HFD (High Fat Diet) induced hyperlipidemia animal model. Total cholesterol and triglyceride levels from 18 male Wistar rat plasma samples at week 8 were measured by UV spectrophotometer. Then, significant results were obtained (p<0.05) compared to the normal group. At week 8 to 10 the rats were still induced by HFD and also given different treatment for each group with the addition of 0.5% CMC in the normal and negative groups, aspirin dose of 81 mg/Kg BW in the positive group and three variations of the dose of red ginger and sappan wood extract combination. At week 10, plasma PCSK9 levels were measured and it was found that a dose 3 of red ginger and sappan wood extracts (800:200 mg/200 g BW rats) gave the lowest PCSK9 levels descriptively and significantly different from PCSK9 levels in the negative group (p<0,05)."

"Jahe merah telah lama dimanfaatkan sebagai salah satu obat tradisional untuk mengurangi peradangan atau inflamasi. Namun, herbal rimpang seperti jahe merah dilaporkan mengandung cemaran mikroorganisme yang relatif tinggi. Sehingga diperlukan metode sterilisasi untuk mendekontaminasi cemaran mikroorganisme tersebut. Iradiasi gamma sering menjadi pilihan untuk dekontaminasi, tetapi belum diketahui dosis yang efektif membunuh mikroorganisme dan tidak mempengaruhi kadar senyawa bioaktif serta aktivitas biologis jahe merah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pengaruh iradiasi gamma terhadap cemaran mikroorganisme, kadar senyawa 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol,10-gingerol, dan 6-shogaol serta aktivitas antiinflamasi ekstrak etanol 70% jahe merah. Serbuk rimpang jahe merah terlebih dahulu diekstraksi dengan metode maserasi menggunakan etanol 70% 1:5. Ekstrak jahe merah kemudian diiradiasi dengan dosis 0, 5, 7,5, 10, dan 15 kGy. Evaluasi cemaran mikroba angka lempeng total dan angka kapang khamir dilakukan dengan metode tuang. Evaluasi kadar bioaktif dianalisis dengan metode Kromatografi Cair Kinerja Tinggi. Aktivitas antiinflamasi diukur dengan metode penghambatan denaturasi protein BSA dengan spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Efektivitas iradiasi sinar gamma dalam menurunkan angka cemaran mikroorganisme meningkat seiring meningkatnya dosis iradiasi (p<0,05). Kadar bioaktif 6-gingerol menunjukkan kadar yang paling tinggi diantara tiga senyawa bioaktif lainnya. Namun, secara keseluruhan dosis iradiasi gamma yang diberikan tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kandungan 6-gingerol,8-gingerol,10-gingerol dan 6-shogaol dalam ekstrak etanol 70% jahe merah (p>0,05). Aktivitas antiinflamasi ekstrak etanol 70% jahe merah juga tidak berbeda signifikan setelah di iradiasi dengan dosis 0-15 kGy (p>0,05).

Red ginger has long been used as a traditional medicine to reduce inflammation. However, rhizome herbs such as red ginger are reported to contain relatively high levels of contamination by microorganisms. So a sterilization method is needed to decontaminate the microorganisms. Gamma irradiation is often an option for decontamination, but it is not yet known which dose is effective in killing microorganisms and does not affect the levels of bioactive compounds or the biological activity of red ginger. This study aims to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on contamination of microorganisms, levels of compounds 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol, and 6-shogaol, and the anti-inflammatory activity of a 70% ethanol extract of red ginger. Red ginger rhizome powder was first extracted by the maceration method using 70% ethanol at 1:5. The red ginger extract was then irradiated at doses of 0, 5, 7.5, 10, and 15 kGy. The evaluation of microbial contamination of the total plate count and yeast mold count was carried out by the pouring method. The evaluation of bioactive levels was analyzed using the high-performance liquid chromatography method. Anti-inflammatory activity was measured by inhibiting BSA protein denaturation with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The effectiveness of gamma irradiation in reducing the number of microorganisms contaminating the environment increased with increasing irradiation dose (p 0.05). The level of bioactive 6-gingerol showed the highest level among the other three bioactive compounds. However, overall, the dose of gamma irradiation given had no significant effect on the content of 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol, and 6-shogaol in the 70% ethanol extract of red ginger (p > 0.05). The anti-inflammatory activity of the 70% ethanol extract of red ginger was also not significantly different after irradiation with dose 0-15 kGy (p > 0.05)."
