Cinnamon bark () and sappan wood () have been reported to be beneficial for Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and the combination is commonly used by Indonesian herbal industries. In the present study, the simultaneous extraction of bioactive compounds from both plants was conducted using natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES), their content analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and their dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) inhibitory activity evaluated. An additional in silico molecular docking analysis was conducted to ensure their activity. The results showed that NADES (with a composition of choline chloride-glycerol) extraction from cinnamon and sappan wood had DPP IV inhibitory activity of 205.0 and 1254.0 µg/mL, respectively. Brazilin as a marker substance from sappan wood was responsible for the DPP IV inhibitory activity, while none of the marker substances chosen for cinnamon bark (-cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, and -cinnamic acid) were found to have significant DPP IV inhibitory activity. These results were confirmed by molecular docking conducted in brazilin, -cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, and -cinnamic acid.

Kombucha is a popular fermented beverage that involves fermentation using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) and produces bacterial cellulose (BC). Carbon and nitrogen sources are essential in kombucha processing and BC production. However, studies on cost-effective BC production as an alternative source of leather have remained scarce.

Antithrombotic medications, including antiplatelet agents, are standard treatments for patients with hyperlipidemia who have a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). The ongoing exploration of new antiplatelet agents with minimal bleeding effects is crucial, including the investigation of potential compounds derived from natural products. This study intended to evaluate the antiplatelet effects of a combined extract of sappan wood ( L.

Background: Gingivitis is a dysbiotic condition characterized by persistent inflammation caused by a disease-associated multispecies bacterial population that has established itself in the subgingival region.
Aim: The objectives of this study are to analyze the anti-inflammatory activity of sappan wood extract cream (SWC) in induced-periodontitis rats model.
Methods: In this study, rats were infected with the gingiva with as an inducer for gingivitis rats model for 14 days.

The use of natural bioresources in textile dyeing has attracted significant research interest due to their environmentally friendly and low-toxic nature. This study investigated the utilization of waste oyster shell (WOS) as a bio-mordant combined with sappan wood extract to dye silk fabrics using pre-, meta-, and post-mordanting method. The crystal structure of CaCO derived from WOS and their impact on color properties, color strength and color fastness were analyzed.
