Vol. 12 No. 2 (2026): Jurnal Ilmiah Medicamento

This issue features 12 original research articles and one review article, covering diverse topics in pharmaceutical and health sciences. Research on natural products includes the antifungal activity of cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum burmannii) and turmeric rhizome (Curcuma longa) extracts against Candida albicans; the antioxidant potential of mango leaves and noni fruits (Morinda citrifolia) in granule formulations; the characterization of Bila tea as a natural antioxidant; and the use of pineapple (Ananas comosus) peel extract in nano-shampoo formulations targeting scalp pathogens. Other studies investigate coenzyme Q10 nanostructured lipid carriers incorporating stearic acid and nyamplung oil (Calophyllum inophyllum), the neuroprotective potential of combined Cassia fistula and Hibiscus sabdariffa flower extracts, and the application of Ulva lactuca and Moringa oleifera extracts as additives in salt production.

The issue also presents studies on pharmaceutical analysis, including the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone, tretinoin, and resorcinol in cream preparations, as well as research addressing antibiotic consumption and Pseudomonas aeruginosa non-susceptibility, community-based acupuncture for geriatric osteoporosis, and prescribing and transcribing problems in electronic pediatric compounded prescriptions. In addition, a systematic and bibliometric study explores material design and biological performance of chitosan-based electrospun nanofibers for wound healing.

Together, these articles highlight current research interests in natural product development, pharmaceutical formulation and drug delivery, analytical methods, antimicrobial research, and healthcare practice.

The review article examines the antibacterial and tyrosinase-inhibitory activities of red algae and green algae. It discusses the potential of these marine natural resources as sources of bioactive compounds with possible applications in pharmaceutical and healthcare-related product development.
