BACKGROUND The biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles by marine resources is thought to be clean, nontoxic, and environmentally acceptable "green procedures". Marine ecosystems are very important for the overall health of both marine and terrestrial environments. The use of natural sources like Marine biological resources essential for nanotechnology. Seaweeds constitute one of the commercially im...

Caulerpa racemosa is a type of seaweed that has the potential to be cultivated because it known and favored by public.Caulerpa used not only for consumption as food but also beauty cosmetics its ingredients. This study aims determine Bioactive content total plate count (TPC) peel-off gel mask. The pour method was number mycobacteria phytochemical testing in form tests flavonoid, alkaloid, pheno...

Anggur laut (Caulerpa racemosa) mengandung senyawa alkaloid, flavonoid, fenol dan tanin yang berfungsi sebagai antibakteri. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui ekstrak etanol anggur dapat diformulasikan dalam bentuk sediaan salep antijerawat stabil secara fisika kimia serta aktivitas terhadap Staphylococcus aureus. Metode dilakukan eksperimental, yakni maserasi menggunakan pelarut 96%...

A series of surveys were carried out to characterize the physical and biological parameters of the Millennium Atoll lagoon during a research expedition in April of 2009. Millennium is a remote coral atoll in the Central Pacific belonging to the Republic of Kiribati, and a member of the Southern Line Islands chain. The atoll is among the few remaining coral reef ecosystems that are relatively pr...

Sesquiterpene caulerpenyne (CYN) is the major metabolite present in green macroalgae Caulerpa taxifolia. This has been shown to be cytotoxic some cell lines and was found active various assays of pharmacological interest. In addition, it exerts antibiotic, antiviral, phytotoxic, antidyslipidemic, antiproliferative activities. study, we report that pretreatment with CYN decreases bradykinin-indu...

In previous works we showed that oral administration of caulerpine, a bisindole alkaloid isolated from algae of the genus Caulerpa, produced antinociception when assessed in chemical and thermal models of nociception. In this study, we evaluated the possible mechanism of action of this alkaloid in mice, using the writhing test. The antinociceptive effect of caulerpine was not affected by intrap...

About 80% of the human adult population is infected with HSV-1. Although there are many anti-HSV-1 drugs available (acyclovir, ganciclovir, valaciclovir, foscarnet), their continuous use promotes the selection of resistant strains, mainly in ACV patients. In addition to resistance, the drugs also have toxicity, particularly when administration is prolonged. The study of new molecules isolated f...
