Abstract

Vitamin E is found naturally in some foods, and also available as a dietary supplement. "Vitamin E" is the fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities. The vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, which protects cell membranes. Sterinernema feltieae was selected as a test organism is because this organism is a complex organism and can be used as a model for whole organisms. The objective of this study is to evaluate the activity of vitamin E and its derivatives on Sterinernema feltieae. The results showed that the derivative of vitamin E (C37H55NO3) was most active against S. feltiae with the LD50 value was 207.77 M, followed by vitamin E (C29H50O2) with the LD50 value was 209.09 M. These results indicated that derivative of vitamin E (C37H55NO3) exerts more potent toxicity than vitamin E against Sterinernema feltieae.

Abstract

Endophytic fungi, which reside within plant tissues, offer a unique ecological perspective due to their mutually beneficial relationship with host plants. Soursop (Annona muricata L.) leaves, known for their medicinal properties, contain bioactive compounds that may be produced by endophytic fungi. This study aimed to isolate endophytic fungi from soursop leaves and evaluate their potential as antimicrobial compound producers. Twenty endophytic fungal isolates were obtained from soursop leaves using Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) supplemented with leaf extract. Out of these isolates, eight demonstrated antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms. Notably, the extract produced by SLE16 exhibited inhibitory effects against Gram-negative bacteria, while isolates SLE7, SLE8, and SLE14 showed antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Furthermore, isolates SLE18, SLE19, and SLE20 displayed significant inhibition of Trichophyton rubrum growth. The extracellular extracts derived from these endophytic fungi exhibited hydrophilic properties and formed inhibition zones larger than 15 mm, indicating their potential as antimicrobial compounds. These findings highlight the potential of endophytic fungi isolated from soursop leaves as valuable sources of novel antimicrobial compounds
