Objective: Alopecia is a condition where there is hair loss or no growth of hair, which can occur as a result of stress, heredity, hormonal factors or due to certain diseases such as diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to determine the anti-alopecia activity of moringa seed oil against rabbits induced by dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Methods: The methods used was the alopecia rabbit model according to Matias with moringa seed oil concentrations of 7.5, 10 and 12.5%, positive control (0.1% finasteride) and negative control (1% tween 80) with parameters hair length and hair weight test. Results: Results showed that moringa seed oil concentrations of 7.5, 10 and 12.5% had anti-alopecia activity with average hair length of 3.4±0.17, 3.9±0.20 and 4.5±0.28 cm, respectively and average hair weight of 118±23.148±30.9 and 175±47.2 mg respectively. Conclusion: Moringa seed oil concentration of 12.5% had optimal activity for developing as anti-alopecia based on the statistical analysis value of hair length (125x10-3>0.05) was not significantly different while hair weight (3x10-3<0.05) was significantly different from the positive control of 0.1% finasteride.

Similar to the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), which is based primarily on the traditional or folkloric medicines of different world civilizations, there is a constantly growing interest in cosmetics and cosmeceuticals using botanical ingredients. 1 Historically, by trial and error human experienced and learned that using their surrounding flora to distinguish between the edible, medicinal and toxic plants. Additionally, for centuries plant-based preparations, including aromatic and fixed oils were used by different civilizations in religious rituals, and for the care, cleansing and decoration of the skin to enhance beauty and to promote good health. 2, 3 The term "cosmetic" is derived from the Greek word "kosmētikos; kosmein" meaning skilled in ordering or arranging. The ancient science of cosmetology is believed to have originated in Egypt, Greece and India based on archeological evidence. Still in other parts of the world, by the Indus valley civilization in South America records indicated the use of cosmetic substances and their application in 2500 and 1550 B.C. 3, 4 Cosmetics are articles proposed to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, stimulating attractiveness, or changing the appearance without affecting body structure or functions. 1,4 Currently, many cosmetics are formulated with

Skin aging is a natural phenomenon which is related to progressive loss of skin structural integrity and physiological function and affects aesthetics which has been of highly interest. Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) such as MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9 is one of the potential approaches for anti-aging treatment as these targets are involved in molecular pathology to skin aging process from sunlight. The aim of the study was to investigate the binding affinity of 9 phytochemical compounds extracted from Morus alba Moraceae into the MMP enzymes leading to potential anti-aging activity by using in silico approaches including molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. All the compounds showed binding abilities into the targets. In particular, mulberrofuran H obtained the best docking results on the three MMPs. Molecular dynamics simulations of the complex of mulberrofuran H and MMP-9 showed that this complex was stable. Combination of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations results, there was an important hydrophobic interaction between mulberrofuran H and His401 at the active site of the MMP-9, which determined the MMP-9 inhibitory potential of mulberrofuran H. The ligand mulberrofuran H was also stabilized into the MMP-9 protein by hydrogen bonds with Pro421 with the high occupancy of 77.67%. These results demonstrated the good binding of mulberrofuran H on the protein MMP-9 which highlighted its anti-aging potency.
