Abstract

Terminalia bellerica is well-known for producing edible fruits with pharmacotherapeutic properties. Traditional healers use these species to treat and control diabetes mellitus, its side effects, and other illnesses. Involved in this disease's pathophysiological process, extensive research has been conducted to validate and comprehend these bioactive claims scientifically. This research aims to ascertain the bioactive metabolite contents of different solvent polarities, including ethyl acetate, hexane, distilled water, and methanol. The phenol concentration was determined using the Follin-Ciocalteu procedure to be between 23.45 and 160.41 mg GAE/g. The aluminum chloride colorimetric technique measured flavonoid concentration from 88.52 to 7.12 mg QE/g. The quantitative values of tannic acid, which spanned from 0.78 to 5.32 mg TAE/g, were determined by spectrophotometry UV-VIS. The extracts' capacity to reduce free radical damage ABTS (2, 2' azinobis (3-ethylbenzene-thiazoline-6-sulfonic-acid) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) was examined. The extract ethyl acetate exhibited the most significant level of antioxidant activity, with IC50 values for DPPH and ABTS of 28.17 and 22.22 g/ml, respectively. Staphylococcus aureus (23 mm) and were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activity in a methanol extract (21 mm). In vitro, antidiabetic activities were assessed using α-glucoside and α-amylase inhibition. The ethyl acetate extract has α-glucoside inhibition IC50 of 23.04 g/ml and α-amylase inhibition IC50 of 25.35 g/ml. T. bellerica seed includes secondary metabolites that show promise as lead chemicals in creating potent medications.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize copoly (Anethole-stearyl acrylate, SA) through cationic polymerization at room temperature (28–36°C) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The synthesis was carried out without a solvent using BF3O(C2H5)2 as the initiator. SA was added in varying weights of 2%, 4%, and 6% relative to anethole. The product obtained from the synthesis was then applied as a phenol adsorbent using the batch method at different contact times. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) analysis showed that methoxy group (-OCH3) termination occurred at wavenumber 1147 cm-1, followed by the loss of vinyl group (C=C) at 1633–1654 cm-1. In addition, the loss of =C-H vinyl bending and stretching group absorption occurred at 964–998 cm-1 and 3025–3095 cm-1, respectively. Structural analysis using 1H-NMR showed the loss of the vinyl group proton signal at a chemical shift (δH) of 5.8–39 ppm. The addition of 2%, 4%, and 6% SA led to an increase in intrinsic viscosity of 26.891, 41.093, and 55.336, respectively. The morphology of copoly showed the presence of various cavities. The degradation temperature of the product increased with the addition of SA. During the application of copoly as a phenol adsorbent, the 6% (w/w) concentration had the largest adsorption capacity of 2.22 mg/g.
