Abstract

Research on the isolation, toxicity test, antimalarial test, and identification of the active compound from the ethyl acetate fraction of Stylissa massa sponge from Oenggae waters, Rote Island, has been conducted. This study aimed to investigate the antimalarial activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of the Stylissa massa sponge. Isolation was carried out by the extraction method using a mixed solvent of methanol: dichloromethane of 3: 2 (v/v), then the extract was partitioned in a solvent mixture of ethyl acetate: water of 1: 2 (v/v). The ethyl acetate extract obtained was separated by column chromatography using the gradient polarity system method. The toxicity test of each fraction was carried out by the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method, and the antimalarial test was carried out by the haematin polymerization inhibition method. Identification of compounds from the active fraction in the antimalarial test was carried out using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). The extraction yield was 1.14 g (0.23%) of the ethyl acetate extract in the form of a dark brownish-yellow oily solid. Separation by column chromatography resulted in 15 fractions. Toxicity test results showed the four most active fractions with LC50 values, which are very promising for new drug discovery. The IC50 value in the antimalarial activity test of the four fractions indicated that the Stylissa massa sponge ethyl acetate extract was more active than the standard chloroquine compound (115 μg/mL). The LC-MS analysis indicates that fraction 11 contains two compounds that have been reported, and 1 compound is unknown. In contrast, fraction 14 indicates that it contains three compounds that have been reported and one unknown compound.

Abstract

The demand for biodiesel in the renewable energy sector continues to grow yearly. However, the majority of biodiesel sources currently still compete with the food sector. Feun Kase seeds contain high oil and do not compete with food, so they have prospects as a new source of biodiesel. This study aimed to find the optimal conditions for synthesizing biodiesel from Feun Kase seed oil, carried out through transesterification with four reaction variables: catalyst variation, time, temperature, and the molar ratio of oil/methanol. This study was equipped with parameter test data according to SNI (Indonesian National Standard) 7182:2015, also equipped with characterization using FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) and GCMS (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy). The highest biodiesel yield of 84.09% was obtained using optimum conditions of 1% NaOH catalyst, oil/methanol molar ratio of 1:6 at 70°C for 90 minutes of reaction. The test results of biodiesel parameters are density (851 kg/m3), smoke point (6°C), kinematic viscosity (5.35 cSt); acid number (1.08 mg KOH/gr), saponification number (159.32 mg KOH/gr), iodine number (78.62 g I2/100 g sample), flash point (165°C), and cetane number (62.86). FTIR analysis proved the presence of methyl esters with typical absorption at 1743 cm-1, 1195.87 cm-1, and 1436.97 cm-1. GCMS characterization showed that Feun Kase biodiesel was dominated by methyl oleate (53.45%), methyl palmitate (27.05%), methyl stearate (10.96%), and methyl linoleate (6.29%).
