INTRODUCTION Piper betle are commonly used as traditional plant remedy. Betel leaves contain hydroxychavicol (HC), a phenolic compound that has properties such as antioxidant, antifungal, antimicrobial and tyrosinase inhibitor [1]. The aims of this study are to extract and isolate HC from P. betel leaves. MATERIALS AND METHODS 5kg of betel leaves w

INTRODUCTION The effectiveness of sunscreens depends on the absorption characteristics of each single UV filter substance. The objective of this study was to determine the penetration profile of UV filter substances using the imaging technique of DermaLab Combo probe and analytical technique of UV/VIS Spectroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2 mg/cm2 of

Caffeine prominent property as a natural sunscreen has received recent interests in researches on topical formulations incorporating this organic compound. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate caffeine behaviours in a broad-spectrum sprayable sunscreen preparation. Two types of sunscreen formulations were developed with and without prese

The aim of this study was to incorporate microponges loaded with resiquimod in gel dosage form. Microsponges were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation method using dichloromethane (DCM), ethylacetate (EA), and chloroform in dispersed phase were incorporated into different gels. 0.5% w/w Carbopol® 934 (polyacrylic acid) powder was dispersed int

The study was undertaken to determine the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in sediment of coastal water of Pahang, Malaysia. Coastal water of Pahang is known for fishing areas, recreation and water sports activities. However, the development of recreational areas, resorts and restaurants along the coastal area could be the sources to the f

Mobile phone is changing the way the world communicates. In the early 1990s, only one per cent of the world's population owned a mobile phone but today almost all using mobile phone to make phone calls and sending text message. 4G is one of the fastest growing technologies currently available with higher data consumption and increased connectiv

In this paper, the fabrication of monolithic Wheatstone bridge circuit on piezoresistive microcantilever sensor is presented. The development of the device is realized through silicon micromachining technology on silicon substrate through three major fabrication steps including silicon piezoresistive microcantilever formation, aluminum deposition o
