Immunomodulators operate through various mechanisms, one of which involves enhancing phagocytic activity. The purple button herb (Borreria laevis Lamk.) is recognized for containing secondary metabolites that may function as immunomodulators; however, its influence on phagocytosis has not been previously assessed. Consequently, a study explored the immunomodulatory effects of distinct fractions of the purple button herb on macrophage phagocytosis in male mice. Over seven days, the mice were orally administered ethanolic extract, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane fractions of the purple button herb. On the eighth day, the subjects were infected with Staphylococcus aureus. After euthanization, intraperitoneal fluid was collected to analyze macrophage phagocytosis activity. The study's results suggested that the ethanolic extract, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane fractions of the purple button herb tended to enhance macrophage activity, with the n-hexane fraction achieving the highest phagocytosis rate of 84.7%. The corresponding p-value > 0.05 in the LSD test indicated no statistically significant difference when compared to the positive control. In conclusion, the n-hexane fraction of the purple button herb demonstrates potential as an immunostimulant by augmenting macrophage activity.

Diabetes mellitus merupakan penyakit kronis yang berkaitan dengan gangguan metabolisme glukosa darah. Black Garlic memiliki potensi sebagai antidiabetes karena mengandung berbagai senyawa yang dapat mengontrol kadar gula darah seperti asam fenolik, senyawa flavonoid dan S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC). DPP-4 merupakan enzim yang berperan penting sebagai target terapeutik dari gliptin dalam pengobatan diabetes mellitus mellitus tipe II. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan membuktikan potensi senyawa pada Black Garlic sebagai inhibitor enzim DPP-4 secara in silico melalui metode penambatan molekuler. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, SAC memiliki nilai energi ikatan sebesar -5,36 kkal/mol dan nilai konstanta inhibisi sebesar 118,08 μM. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ikatan antara senyawa SAC dengan enzim DPP-4 bersifat stabil dan terbukti berpotensi sebagai inhibitor enzim DPP-4 dibandingkan keempat senyawa uji lainnya. Namun, senyawa SAC tidak lebih baik dari ligan alaminya karena memiliki nilai energi ikatan dan konstanta inhibisi yang lebih kecil. Oleh karena itu dapat disimpulkan bahwa senyawa SAC pada Black Garlic tidak lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan ligan alaminya yaitu Vildagliptin tetapi tetap dapat berpotensi sebagai inhibitor enzim DPP-4.
