Abstract

This research presents the degradable bioplastics developed from pinewood nanocellulose as a filler in PVA matrices. The steps involve the isolation and characterization of cellulose and nanocellulose. Meanwhile, the manufacturing of degradable bioplastic involves the combination of PVA, nanocellulose, and with or without orange peel extract. The effect of bioplastics without the addition of citric acid and orange peel extract is also reported as a comparison. It is found that orange peel extract improves the tensile strength (1708.54 kPa), elastic modulus (42.71 kPa), elongation (40%), and degradability (78.44% in 2 weeks) compared to bioplastic without the orange peel extract. These results indicate that orange peel extract acts as a reinforcing agent in PVA-nanocellulose bioplastic.

Abstract

Cholesterol is obtained through biosynthesis and diet. When a level of cholesterol is above the normal level, this condition caused hypercholesterolemia. Long-term administration of synthetic chemical drugs can cause liver damage. Therefore, alternative natural medication is needed. One of the alternatives that can be used is the rice bran (RB), which contains antioxidant and crude fiber. This study is aimed at finding out the potential utilization of RB on total cholesterol level, liver enzyme as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and the changes in liver tissue. This study uses five groups of rats: the negative control group, positive control group, and three therapy groups with the dosage of 270 mg kg-1, 540 mg kg-1, and 810 mg kg-1 of body weight. This study shows that therapy using RB can significantly decrease the cholesterol level, AST, ALT, and MDA (p<0.01). The total cholesterol level is 21%, AST and ALT activities can be reduced to 54% and 64%, the level of MDA reduced to 79% and can repair the liver tissue. This study shows that RB can be effectively used as hepatoprotective in rats with hypercholesterolemia. Keywords: AST and ALT, Hypercholesterolemia, Rice Bran, Total Cholesterol Level.

Abstract

Design of new compounds as active ingredients of drugs must be selective and efficient to achieve therapeutic efficacy and minimize resulting side effects. Hybridization synthesis approaches using major components of essential oils can reliably generate new molecules that are superior as active ingredients of anti-cancer drugs due to their cytotoxic properties. This study synthesized a hybrid molecule of citronellyl salicylate by an esterification reaction using Steglich and Fisher method under ultrasonic assistance. The Steglich esterification is more efficient in producing citronellyl salicylate during 30 minutes reaction, yield 12.45%. Analysis of the synthesized product by FTIR is characterized by the presence of typical absorptions of the ester group at ῡ 1650 cm-1 and 1270 cm-1, while LC ESI-MS shows m/z 294 is indicated [M+NH4]+. Anticancer activity was tested in-silico for protein receptors MMP-9, MMP-2, Cyclin-A, p53, and BAK using Molecular Docking Pyrx 9.0 and the highest activity was shown binding affinity value -8.4 kcal/mol for the MMP-9 protein receptor. Similarly, the results of the in vitro activity assay of citronellyl salicylate to 4T1 breast cancer cells showed that the morphology of cancer cells was damaged and the viability of cancer cells was lower than that of normal cells

Abstract

Drug development continues to be carried out so that drugs can work effectively. Creating a drug formula can be achieved by combining two or more synergistic drug compounds by hybridization, blending, or synthesis. This study reports findings of antioxidant activity using the good DPPH method from the synthesis of eugenol and salicylic acid using the encapsulation technique. The encapsulation technique uses chitosan as a coating material to protect the active ingredients, taking advantage of its unique functional characteristics, including the ability to form bonds with the crosslink agent sodium tripolyphosphate (Na-TPP) at a speed of 13,500 rpm with a pH of 4.2 to optimize the formulation. The encapsulation system produced majority particles measuring 241.0 ± 19.8 nm, with an encapsulation efficiency of 58.29 ± 0.40%. The results of the compound antioxidant test (CS-ES NP) showed better results than pure ES, with an IC50 value of 1.64 ?g/mL. The morphology results after encapsulation showed round and dense particles, indicating that the ES compound was successfully encapsulated. Keywords: encapsulation, antioxidant, eugenyl salicylate, blending

Abstract

The growing demand for liquid soap has spurred innovations in soap formulations, particularly using methyl ester sulfonate (MES) as a surfactant base combined with natural ingredients like eco-enzyme and fragrant pandan leaf extract. This study aimed to determine the optimal liquid soap formulation by evaluating physicochemical properties and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The research was conducted in two stages. First, liquid soap was produced at different temperatures (20°C, 50°C, and 100°C) to identify the optimal temperature based on maximum lipase activity. In the second stage, various formulations were prepared, incorporating eco-enzyme and fragrant pandan leaf extract at the identified optimal temperature. The six formulations tested were: F1 (MES-based soap), F2 (20% eco-enzyme), F3 (15% eco-enzyme and 5% fragrant pandan leaf extract), F4 (10% eco-enzyme and 10% fragrant pandan leaf extract), F5 (5% eco-enzyme and 15% fragrant pandan leaf extract), and F6 (20% fragrant pandan leaf extract). The formulations were assessed for lipase activity, pH, density, and viscosity. The most effective formulation was further tested for antibacterial activity using the disc diffusion method with six treatments, including MES-based soap and controls. Statistical analysis using One-Way ANOVA revealed that adding eco-enzyme and fragrant pandan leaf extract significantly affected the soap's properties. The optimal formulation, containing 5% eco-enzyme and 15% fragrant pandan leaf extract, exhibited a lipase activity of 15,778 U/mL, a pH of 5.02, a density of 1.06 g/mL, a viscosity of 3.59 cP, and an antibacterial zone of 37.22 mm, making it the best candidate for further development

Abstract

Transition metal complexes, including copper(II) complexes, are being investigated as potential next-generation antibacterial agents. This study aims to prepare several Cu(II)-pyrazinamide (Cu(II)-pza) complexes using Cu(II) salts (acetate, chloride, nitrate, sulphate) through a direct mixing technique. Different Cu(II) salts are anticipated to yield distinct complexes, resulting in varied antibacterial properties. The Cu(II)-pza complexes were characterized using melting point analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Melting point analysis provides insights into the physical properties of the complexes. Infrared spectroscopy identifies functional groups and predicts chemical bonds within the complexes. Powder XRD analyzes the characteristic diffraction patterns of the complexes. Experimental data reveal that the infrared spectra of all Cu(II)-pza complexes exhibit typical absorption bands of the pyrazinamide ligand (N-H, C=O, C-N, and C=N). Powder XRD analysis shows different diffraction patterns for each complex, indicating the formation of different compounds due to variations in anion and metal-ligand interactions, with the sulphate complex matching a previously reported complex. Melting point tests indicate the decomposition of the complexes within the range of 215–225 °C, except for the acetate complex, which decomposes at 275 °C. The antibacterial activities of these complexes against S. aureus and E. coli were examined in vitro based on inhibition zone diameter and MIC value. The sulphate, nitrate, and chloride complexes exhibit MIC values of 1,000 ppm and MBC values of 6,000 ppm, demonstrating better antibacterial activity against S. aureus than E. coli. These findings suggest the potential of Cu(II)-pza complexes as antibacterial agents. Further studies, such as crystal structure determination, are necessary to explore the possible mechanisms of antibacterial activity.[1]      N. C. Handayani, A. Kusuma, R. Purwanto, R. E.

Abstract

A complex of [Zn(pza)2(Cl)2], pza = pyrazinamide, was successfully crystallized from methanol or ethanol solvents with different morphology. The complex was synthesized using the solution method in ZnCl2: pza mol ratios of 1:2 and 1:4 in both ethanol and methanol solvents. FTIR and single crystal XRD analyses were done to confirm the complex. The complex was then used for in vitro antibacterial test against E. coli and S. aureus. Experimental data shows that the type of solvent and metal-to-ligand mol ratio yields the same compound, resulting in colorless crystals that melt at 234-236°C. Large block crystals were obtained from the methanolic solution, while a higher yield was obtained from the use of a higher mol ratio of 1:4. Infrared spectra analysis confirms the presence of characteristic carbonyl and amide groups of the pza ligand. Meanwhile, single crystal XRD screening indicates that unit cell parameters of the crystals from both solvents are identical to a known zinc(II)-pza complex. In vitro antibacterial tests against E. coli and S. aureus show that the complex had much better activity than the ZnCl2 and the free pza. In addition, the complex performs better antibacterial activity toward gram-positive S. aureus than the gram-negative E. coli.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health challenge affecting over 800 million people worldwide. Early detection is crucial to prevent progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where life-saving interventions like dialysis or transplantation are necessary. Among the markers for early kidney damage, the Albumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) in urine is one of the most reliable. Conventional methods of ACR detection, such as LC/MS-MS and ELISA, are highly accurate but require expensive equipment and skilled personnel, limiting their accessibility, especially in resource-limited settings. To address this, we developed a 3D-connector microfluidic paperbased analytical device (3D-µPADs) enhanced with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for sensitive and low-cost ACR detection. The integration of AuNPs amplifies colorimetric signals, enhancing the visual distinction in albumin detection. Our 3D-µPADs werefabricated using chromatographic paper Whatman No. 1 with hydrophobic barriers created by solid wax printing, followed by reagent immobilization for albumin and creatinine detection. The colorimetric and distance responses, based on reactions with Bromocresol Green (BCG) and Chrome Azurol S-Palladium (CAS-Pd2+), were analyzed using ImageJ software to quantify albumin and creatinine levels. The 3D-µPADs exhibited optimal sensitivity and accuracy, with linear detection ranges for albumin and creatinine of 30–400 mg/g. Validation with human urine samples demonstrated an accuracy of 93.04%, suggesting that 3D-µPADs offer a promising alternative for early nephropathy detection. Our findings provide a cost-effective, accessible tool for CKD screening, potentially transforming diagnostics in low-resource environments.

Abstract

Degenerative diseases have increased in prevalence worldwide, predominantly in Indonesia. Some studies found that probiotics have an impact on organic substances that address inflammation and gut microbiota imbalance. This study aims to develop a functional beverage based on coconut water and red ginger fermentation using Next Generation Probiotics (NGP) and characterize the product using metagenomic and metabolomic technologies. This experimental study involved the fermentation of coconut water and red ginger using a probiotic starter identified by 16S rRNA sequencing for 120 hours at room temperature. The analysis included microbial characterization using List the probiotics metagenomic sequencing, metabolite profiling by LC-HRMS, particle size by PSA, and in vitro antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity testing. Metagenomic analysis identified the dominance of the family Acetobacteraceae (45%) and genus Acetobacter 942%. Fermentation reduced the tannin content by 28.5% and increased the number of metabolite compounds from 37 to 54. The fermentation results also showed antibacterial activity against E. coli CNN 0091 (inhibition zone 7.835 mm), and anti-inflammatory activity reached 1,000%. The combination of coconut water, red ginger, and NGP produced a complex metabolite profile with high therapeutic potential. The findings show significant potential for the prevention of degenerative diseases.
