Abstract
Background Cancer cachexia-characterized by anorexia, body weight loss, skeletal muscle atrophy, and fat loss-affects nearly 80% of cancer patients and accounts for 20% of cancer deaths. Curcuma xanthorrhiza, known as Java turmeric, and its active compound xanthorrhizol (XAN) exhibit anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. However, the ameliorative effects of C. xanthorrhiza extract (CXE) and XAN on cancer-associated adipose atrophy remain unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of CXE and XAN on cancer cachexia-induced adipose tissue wasting in CT26 tumor-bearing mice. Methods CT26 cells were injected subcutaneously into the right flank of BALB/c mice to establish a cancer cachexia model. To evaluate the inhibitory effects of CXE and XAN on cancer cachexia, 50 and 100 mg/kg CXE and 15 mg/kg XAN were administered orally every day for 1 week. Results CXE and XAN administration significantly attenuated the loss of body weight and epidydimal fat mass by cancer cachexia. In epididymal adipose tissues, administration of CXE or XAN inhibited white adipose tissue browning by repressing expression of the thermogenic genes. Simultaneously, CXE or XAN attenuated fat catabolism through the downregulation of lipolytic genes. The administration of CXE or XAN induced the expression of genes associated with adipogenesis and lipogenesis-related genes. Moreover, CXE or XAN treatment was associated with maintaining metabolic homeostasis; regulating the expression of adipokines and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Conclusions CXE and XAN mitigate cancer-induced adipose tissue atrophy, primarily by modulating lipid metabolism and WAT browning, indicating their therapeutic potential for cachectic cancer patients.

Abstract
Xanthorrhizol (1) is known as the major terpenoid component of the rhizome of Curcuma xanthorrhiza and having some interesting biological activities. In this report, we synthesised five derivatives of 1 containing nitrogen-functional groups. Four of them are new synthesised compounds, including (R)-4-(3-(2-methyl-5-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)phenoxy)propyl)morpholine (2), (R)-N-benzyl-3-(2-methyl-5-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)phenoxy)propan-1-amine (3), (R)-6,7-dimethoxy-3-(3-(2-methyl-5-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)phenoxy)propyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (4), and (R)-6-methyl-3-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)-2-nitrophenol (5) groups. Meanwhile the other is the known compound, that is (R)-2-methyl-5-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)-4-nitrophenol (6). The caspase-7 inhibitory activity of compounds 1-6 was evaluated as well. In comparison to other derivatives, compounds 5 and 6 exhibited higher activity. Consequently, compounds 5 and 6 may be a promising lead compound for further development as a caspase-7 inhibitor.

Abstract
This study describes a newly developed method for the fast and straightforward differentiation of two turmeric species using Direct Analysis in Real Time mass spectrometry and miniaturized Near Infrared spectroscopy. Multivariate analyses (PCA and LDA) were performed on the mass spectrometric data, thus creating a powerful model for the discrimination of Curcumalonga and Curcumaxanthorrhiza. Cross-validation of the model revealed correctness-scores of 100% with 20-fold as well as leave-one-out validation techniques. To further estimate the models prediction power, seven retail samples of turmeric powder were analyzed and assorted to a species. Looking for a fast, non-invasive, cost-efficient and laboratory independent method, miniaturized NIR spectrometers offer an alternative for quality control of turmeric species. However, different technologies implemented to compensate for their small size, lead to different applicability of these spectrometers. Therefore, we investigated the three handheld spectrometers microPHAZIR, MicroNIR 2200 and MicroNIR 1700ES for their application in spice analysis in hyphenation to PCA, LDA and ANN methods used for the discriminant analysis. While microPHAZIR proved to be the most valuable device for differentiating C.longa and C.xanthorrhiza, MicroNIR 1700ES offered the worst results. These findings are interpreted on the basis of a quantum chemical simulation of the NIR spectrum of curcumin as the representative constituent. It was found that the information accessible to MicroNIR 1700ES that is relevant to the analyzed constituents is located in the spectral region prone to interferences with the matrix, likely limiting the performance of this spectrometer in this analytical scenario.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the inactivation of histamine in central nervous system, kidneys and bronchi. Inhibition of HNMT is known to have a potential role in treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, memory impairment, mental illness and neurodegenerative illnesses. Therefore, to find potential compounds that could be developed as novel HNMT inhibitors, this study conducted an in silico study of the secondary metabolites of Nigella sativa L and Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. METHODS In this study, we conducted a molecular docking study of 36 secondary metabolites of N. sativa L and 26 secondary metabolites of C. xanthorrhiza Roxb using an in silico approach targeting HNMT protein (PDB ID: 2AOT) using AutoDockVina software. The prediction of ADMET characteristics was done using the pkCSM Online Tool. RESULTS This study obtained one metabolite from N. sativa L (longifolene) and seven metabolites from C. xanthorrhiza Roxb {(+)-beta-atlantone, humulene epoxide, (-)-beta-curcumene, (E)-caryophyllene, germacrone, (R)-(-)-xanthorrhizol, and (-)-beta-caryophyllene epoxide} which were predicted to have potential to be developed as HNMT inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS This study found several secondary metabolites of N. sativa L and C. xanthorrhiza Roxb which had activity as HNMT inhibitors. This research can likewise be utilized as a basis for further research, both in vitro, in vivo, and clinical trials related to the development of secondary metabolites from N. sativa L and C. xanthorrhiza Roxb as novel HNMT inhibitor compounds.

Abstract
The identification of adulteration practices of medicinal plants used as herbal medicine is very important to ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy. In this study, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)-based metabolite fingerprinting coupled with multivariate analysis were used for authentication of Curcuma xanthorrhiza extract from Curcuma aeruginosa. Curcumin contents obtained from C. xanthorrhiza extract from various regions were in the range of 0.74%–1.23%. Meanwhile, curcumin contents obtained from C. xanthorrhiza extract adulterated with 0%, 10%, 25%, 40%, 50%, and 75% of C. aeruginosa were 1.02%, 0.96%, 0.86%, 0.69%, 0.43%, and 0.27%, respectively. The decreasing of curcumin contents in adulterant concentrations of 40% and more in C. xanthorrhiza rhizome could indicate the adulteration with other rhizomes. Multivariate analysis of PCA (principal component analysis) using data set obtained from 1H-NMR spectra clearly discriminated pure and adulterated C. xanthorrhiza with C. aeruginosa. OPLS-DA (orthogonal projections to latent structures-discriminant analysis) successfully classified pure and adulterated C. xanthorrhiza with higher R2X (0.965), R2Y (0.958), and Q2(cum) (0.93). It can be concluded that 1H-NMR-based metabolite fingerprinting coupled with PCA and OPLS-DA offers an adequate method to assess adulteration practice and to evaluate the authentication of C. xanthorrhiza extracts.

Abstract
In this study, an optimal nanoemulsion formulation for Curcuma xanthorrhiza oil (Xan) was investigated using different sonication times. The antimicrobial effects of the nanoemulsion, the original emulsion, distilled water (DW), and Listerine, on Streptococcus mutans biofilms were compared. The optimum ultrasonic time, determined in terms of droplet size and stability, was found to be 10 min. Cell viability was the lowest on exposure to the nanoemulsion, and significantly different compared with exposure to DW or Listerine. The emulsion's effect was similar to that of the nanoemulsion, but was non-uniform with a high interquartile range. Confocal microscope analysis revealed that the live/dead cell ratio in the nanoemulsion was 50% and 40% less than those in DW and Listerine, respectively. Biofilm treated with the nanoemulsion was thinner than biofilms exposed to the other treatments. Xan nanoemulsions exhibited stable and strong antimicrobial effects due to nano-sized particles, highlighting their potential use in oral health treatment.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is triggered by the host immune response to pathogens in the microbial biofilm. Worsening of periodontal disease destroys the tooth-supporting tissues and alveolar bone. As oral inflammation can induce systemic diseases in humans, it is important to prevent periodontal disease. In this study, we demonstrated that Curcuma xanthorrhiza supercritical extract (CXS) and its active compound, xanthorrhizol (XAN), exhibit anti-inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated human gingival fibroblast-1 cells and anti-osteoclastic effects on receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)-treated RAW264.7 cells. LPS-upregulated inflammatory factors, such as nuclear factor kappa B p65 and interleukin-1β, were prominently reduced by CXS and XAN. In addition, RANKL-induced osteoclastic factors, such as nuclear factor of activated T-cells c1, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and cathepsin K, were decreased in the presence of CXS and XAN. CXS and XAN inhibited the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/activator protein-1 (AP-1) signaling pathway. Collectively, these results provide evidence that CXS and XAN suppress LPS-induced inflammation and RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by suppressing the MAPK/AP-1 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Andrographis paniculata, Gynura procumbens, Ficus deltoidea and Curcuma xanthorrhiza are commonly consumed as herbal medicines. However their effects on human liver glucuronidation activity are not yet evaluated. OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluate the inhibitory Effects of Andrographis paniculata, Gynura procumbens, Ficus deltoidea and Curcuma xanthorrhiza extracts and their constituents on human liver glucuronidation activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Herbal extracts (aqueous, methanolic and ethanolic extracts) and their constituents were incubated with human liver microsomes with the addition of UDPGA to initiate the reaction. Working concentrations of herbal extracts and their constituents ranged from 10 μg/mL to 1000 μg/mL and 10 μM to 300 μM respectively. IC50 was determined by monitoring the decrement of glucuronidation activity with the increment of herbal extracts or phytochemical constituent's concentrations. RESULTS All herbal extracts inhibited human liver glucuronidation activity in range of 34.69 μg/mL to 398.10 μg/mL whereas for the constituents, only xanthorrhizol and curcumin (constituents of Curcuma xanthorrhiza) inhibited human liver glucuronidation activity with IC50 of 538.50 and 32.26 μM respectively. CONCLUSION In the present study, we have proved the capabilities of Andrographis paniculata, Gynura procumbens, Ficus deltoidea and Curcuma xanthorrhiza to interfere with in vitro glucuronidation process in human liver microsomes. SUMMARY This study documented the capabilities of Andrographis paniculata, Gynura procumbens, Ficus deltoidea and Curcuma xanthorrhiza to inhibit human liver glucuronidation activity which may affect the metabolism of therapeutic drugs or hazardous toxicants that follow the same glucuronidation pathway.

Abstract
Background: Curcuma xanthorrhiza is a native Indonesian plant and traditionally utilized for a range of illness including liver damage, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. Objective: The study determined the effects of C. xanthorrhiza extracts (ethanol and aqueous) and their constituents (curcumene and xanthorrhizol) on UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) and glutathione transferase (GST) activities. Materials and Methods: The inhibition studies were evaluated both in rat liver microsomes and in human recombinant UGT1A1 and UGT2B7 enzymes. p-nitrophenol and beetle luciferin were used as the probe substrates for UGT assay while 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as the probe for GST assay. The concentrations of extracts studied ranged from 0.1 to 1000 μg/mL while for constituents ranged from 0.01 to 500 μM. Results: In rat liver microsomes, UGT activity was inhibited by the ethanol extract (IC50 =279.74 ± 16.33 μg/mL). Both UGT1A1 and UGT2B7 were inhibited by the ethanol and aqueous extracts with IC50 values ranging between 9.59–22.76 μg/mL and 110.71–526.65 μg/Ml, respectively. Rat liver GST and human GST Pi-1 were inhibited by ethanol and aqueous extracts, respectively (IC50 =255.00 ± 13.06 μg/mL and 580.80 ± 18.56 μg/mL). Xanthorrhizol was the better inhibitor of UGT1A1 (IC50 11.30 ± 0.27 μM) as compared to UGT2B7 while curcumene did not show any inhibition. For GST, both constituents did not show any inhibition. Conclusion: These findings suggest that C. xanthorrhiza have the potential to cause herb-drug interaction with drugs that are primarily metabolized by UGT and GST enzymes. SUMMARY Findings from this study would suggest which of Curcuma xanthorrhiza extracts and constituents that would have potential interactions with drugs which are highly metabolized by UGT and GST enzymes. Further clinical studies can then be designed if needed to evaluate the in vivo pharmacokinetic relevance of these interactions

Abstract
Four sesquiterpenes were isolated from the rhizome of Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.: furanodiene (1), germacrone (2), furanodienone (3), and 13-hydroxygermacrone (4). Importantly, this was the first time compounds 1 and 4 were isolated from this plant. The chemical structures of these compounds were determined using 1D- and 2D-nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, and electron ionization mass spectrometry analyses. Among the isolated compounds, compounds 2 and 4 inhibited UVB-induced upregulation of the mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3 in human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Moreover, this upregulation occurred in a dose-dependent manner over the range of 1-10 μM for each compound.
