Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Efficacy of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. Antiperspirant Preparations Against Staphylococcus epidermidis
Commercial antiperspirant products commonly incorporate synthetic compounds, several of which have raised concerns due to their potential carcinogenicity. Moreover, the inclusion of natural antibacterial agents in these formulations remains limited. Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Rosella), a plant rich in bioactive secondary metabolites, offers a promising natural alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of rosella-based antiperspirant formulations, particularly against Staphylococcus epidermidis, a key contributor to body odor. Three formulations (F1, F2, and F3) were developed and assessed based on several parameters: pH, organoleptic properties, homogeneity, spreadability, adhesiveness, and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis. The results demonstrated that the antiperspirant preparations complied with standard evaluation criteria. Furthermore, the antibacterial assay outcomes yielded statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in the mean diameter of the inhibition zones, indicating that H. sabdariffa L. exhibited measurable antibacterial activity against S. epidermidis. These findings support the potential application of Rosella extract in developing natural and efficacious anti-perspirant products
Synthesis of Asymmetric Curcumin Analogue (2,6)-2-(3-bromo-4-methoxybenzylidine)-6-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidine)cyclohexanone with a Base Catalyst
Curcumin analogs are phenolic secondary metabolites that are more stable than curcumin because they do not contain active methylene groups. Generally, these compounds have a symmetric structure, while asymmetric curcumin analogs with higher frequency and potency are rarely synthesized. This study aimed to synthesize asymmetric curcumin analogs from 2-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)cyclohexanone and bromoanisaldehyde. The synthesis was conducted using the Claisen-Schmidt condensation method with a base catalyst in ethanol at 25 °C for 12 hours. The intermediate compound available in the laboratory was characterized using GC-MS, showing a molecular ion (M⁺) at m/z 246. Meanwhile, bromoanisaldehyde was characterized by GC-MS and FT-IR, yielding a molecular ion at m/z 215 and a C–Br stretching vibration peak at 812 cm⁻¹. The study yielded a yellow solid weighing 0.13 g (yield percentage: 2.93%) with a melting point of 143-147 °C. UV-Vis, FT-IR, and HR-MS analysis confirmed the successful synthesis and characterization of the asymmetric curcumin analog, as evidenced by the molecular ion (M⁺) at m/z 443.06274 in the HR-MS spectrum. However, further analysis, such as ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR, is needed to confirm the structure of the compound. Furthermore, research related to bioactivity testing is crucial for obtaining more stable and effective drug candidates

Comparison of LASSO, Ridge, and Elastic Net Regularization with Balanced Bagging Classifier
Predicting Drug-Induced Autoimmunity (DIA) is crucial in pharmaceutical safety assessment, as early identification of compounds with autoimmune risk can prevent adverse drug reactions and improve patient outcomes. Classification analysis often faces challenges when the number of predictor variables exceeds the number of observations or when high correlations among predictors lead to multicollinearity and overfitting. Regularization methods, such as Ridge Regression, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), and Elastic-Net, help stabilize parameter estimation and improve model interpretability. This study focuses on building a binary classification model to predict the risk of DIA using 196 molecular descriptors derived from chemical compound structures. To address class imbalance in the response variable, the Balanced Bagging Classifier (BBC) is combined with regularized logistic regression models. Elastic Net + BBC outperforms other models with the highest accuracy (0.825), followed closely by LASSO + BBC and Ridge + BBC (both 0.816). This integration not only improves classification accuracy but also enhances generalization and the reliable detection of minority class instances, supporting the early identification of autoimmune risks in drug discovery
