Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Four Different Concentrations of Ant Nest () Collagen Membranes with Potential for Medical Applications.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to synthesize and structurally characterize four ant nest membranes in four different concentrations and determine the best concentration that could potentially be used as an alternative material for the production of new collagen barrier membranes.

Materials And Methods: Membranes were created by mixing ant nest extracts at various concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 1.

Pharmacological Activity of Chemical Compounds of Potato Peel Waste ( L.) in vitro: A Scoping Review.

Introduction: The potato (.) is a short-lived tuber plant with a round to oval shape and varying colors, depending on the variety. It is known that only the inside of the potato is used, while the peel is generally discarded.

The Potential of 24-Propylcholestrol as Antibacterial Oral Bacteria of ATCC 29212 and Inhibitor Biofilms Formation: in vitro and in silico Study.

Introduction: Uncontrolled biofilm can cause several diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Dental caries is a disease caused by the accumulation of plaque-containing pathogenic bacteria, including . These bacteria infect the root canals of teeth and colonize to form biofilms.

Species: A Review on Chemical Constituents and Antibacterial Activity.

Infection by bacteria is one of the main problems in health. The use of commercial antibiotics is still one of the treatments to overcome these problems. However, high levels of consumption lead to antibiotic resistance.

Mode action prediction of catechin from Roxb. against UDP--acetylenolpyruvyl-glucosamine reductase (MurB enzyme) of : study.

The prevalence of oral health problems in the global population is still high, especially dental caries, which is considered a multifactorial disease involving the role of bacteria, namely . Gram-positive bacteria metabolize carbohydrates and sugars and convert them into lactic acid, causing dental caries. The peptidoglycan (PG) layer at the outer surface of the bacteria acts as protection.

Action mode of ursolic acid as a natural antioxidant and inhibitor of superoxide dismutase: and study.

Recently, the antioxidant is applied for the teeth bleaching treatment as an alternative of toxic material of hydrogen peroxide that is used in teeth bleaching. One of natural sources antioxidant is those containing active antioxidant agents. To be applied as a new bioactive constituent in teeth bleaching treatment, a preexperimental study is performed.

Bio-Mechanism of Catechin as Pheromone Signal Inhibitor: Prediction of Antibacterial Agent Action Mode by In Vitro and In Silico Study.

The utilization of medicinal plants has long been explored for the discovery of antibacterial agents and the most effective mechanisms or new targets that can prevent and control the spread of antibiotic resistance. One kind of bacterial cell wall inhibition is the inactivation of the MurA enzyme that contributes to the formation of peptidoglycan. Another approach is to interfere with the cell-cell communication of bacteria called the Quorum sensing (QS) system.

Prediction Mechanism of Nevadensin as Antibacterial Agent against : and Studies.

Background: Streptococcus sanguinis can contribute to tooth demineralization, which can lead to dental caries. Antibiotics used indefinitely to treat dental caries can lead to bacterial resistance. Discovering new antibacterial agents from natural products, like Ocimum basilicum, will help combat antibiotic resistance.

Effectiveness of Bioactive Compound as Antibacterial and Anti-Quorum Sensing Agent from : An In Silico Study.

Background: antibiotic resistance encourages the development of new therapies, or the discovery of novel antibacterial agents. Previous research revealed that (Sarang Semut) contain potential antibacterial agents. However, specific proteins inhibited by them have not yet been identified as either proteins targeted by antibiotics or proteins that have a role in the quorum-sensing system.

Potential Allylpyrocatechol Derivatives as Antibacterial Agent Against Oral Pathogen of ATCC 10,556 and as Inhibitor of MurA Enzymes: in vitro and in silico Study.

Background: is Gram-positive bacteria that contribute to caries. Many antibacterial agents are resistant against bacteria so that the discovery of new antibacterial agents is a crucial issue. Mechanism of antibacterial agents by disrupting cell wall bacteria is a promising target to be developed.

Potential Fatty Acid as Antibacterial Agent Against Oral Bacteria of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis from Basil (Ocimum americanum): In vitro and In silico Studies.

Background: Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis are Gram-positive bacteria that cause dental caries. MurA enzyme acts as a catalyst in the formation of peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls, making it ideal as an antibacterial target. Basil (Ocimum americanum) is an edible plant that is diverse and has been used as a herbal medicine for a long time.

Fabrication and Characterization of Chitosan-Collagen Membrane from Barramundi (Lates Calcarifer) Scales for Guided Tissue Regeneration.

Objectives:  The aim of this study was to evaluate the synthesis, mechanical strength, and morphology of chitosan-collagen membranes from barramundi scales for guided tissue regeneration technique.

Materials And Methods:  Collagen was extracted from barramundi scales by immersion in acetic acid. The resulting wet collagen was later dried.

The effect of the chitosan-collagen membrane on wound healing process in rat mandibular defect.

Background: Collagen and chitosan are potential biomaterials for medical applications; chitosan-collagen membranes are used as a barrier membrane in guided tissue regeneration and guided bone regeneration.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the chitosan-collagen membrane on wound healing in rat mandibular defect by counting the number of fibroblasts and new blood vessels.

Materials And Methods: As much as 24 male Wistar rats were divided into two groups, the treatment and control group.
