Abstract

Liquid waste is one of the factors causing contamination of the aquatic environment. One of the chemical parameters of water quality namely Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). This research was conducted at three different concentration levels, namely low, medium, and high, with samples of river water, domestic wastewater, and sago liquid waste. The method used is UV-Vis spectrophotometry (SNI 6989.2: 2019) and FAS titrimetry (APHA, 2017 methods 5220 D); for the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method in the range 90 mg/L, the wavelength was measured at 420 nm, while for high levels in the range 100 mg/L x 900 mg/L, it was measured at 600 nm. The quality control parameters used are accuracy and precision parameters. The purpose of this study was to compare the COD determination between UV-vis spectrophotometry and FAS titrimetry and to determine the validity and correlation of the two methods—a comparison of the results of the two methods used in the F test. The results showed that the COD values from UV visible spectrophotometry and FAS titrimetry yielded good precision and accuracy values and met the acceptable limits, namely %RSD 10% and 90% accuracy %R 110%. However, the results of the COD analysis using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method were lower by 0.8556 than the results of the COD analysis using the FAS titration method, with a correlation coefficient r2 = 0.982. The average concentration of UV-Vis spectrophotometry in samples of sago wastewater was 572.141 mg/L, domestic wastewater was 113.525 mg/L, and river water was 42.98 mg/L. The average COD level of the titrimetric method in sago wastewater was 641.888 mg/L, domestic wastewater was 219.251 mg/L, and river water was 58.016 mg/L. The results of the F test for these two methods produce an Fcount Ftable. The null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, meaning there is a significant difference between the two methods.

Abstract

Traditional medicine continues to play a vital role in Indonesia’s healthcare landscape, with increasing reliance on plant-derived remedies for disease prevention and treatment. Among these, the gading coconut (Cocos nucifera var. eburnea), native to Bogor, Indonesia, presents untapped potential as a source of antibacterial agents. This study aimed to identify bioactive compounds with antibacterial activity from gading coconut leaves and to evaluate the impact of extraction methods—maceration and sonication—on their yield and efficacy. Compared with maceration (5.92%), sonication produced a significantly greater extract yield (9.48%). Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins in both extracts. Quantitative analysis revealed that the sonicated extract contained greater concentrations of total flavonoids (52.06 mg QE/g) and total phenolics (147.10 mg GAE/g). Chemical profiling using liquid chromatography‒tandem mass spectrometry (LC‒MS/MS) identified key antibacterial constituents, including 3-hydroxycoumarin, isoorientin, vitexin, and α-linolenic acid. Biological evaluation demonstrated that the sonicated extract exhibited stronger antibacterial activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 50 mg/mL against Escherichia coli and 25 mg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus. These findings suggest that the extraction method significantly influences both the chemical composition and antibacterial potency of gading coconut leaf extracts. Overall, this study highlights the pharmacological relevance of C. nucifera var. eburnea as a promising source of natural antibacterial agents and contributes to the scientific validation of traditional medicinal plants in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Inflammation is a protective reaction triggered by harmful substances, microbes, or physical trauma. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to treat inflammation, though they have certain drawbacks, such as the potential for chronic kidney failure and unfavorable gastrointestinal side effects. Therefore, alternative treatments are needed. Cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica L.) roots contain secondary metabolites that may offer potential for inflammation treatment. Objective: This study aims to investigate the potential of secondary metabolites from cogon grass roots as anti-inflammatory agents, both in vitro using protein denaturation inhibition techniques and in silico against the COX-1 and COX-2 enzyme receptors. Methods: Molecular docking of COX-1 (PDB ID 6Y3C) and COX-2 (PDB ID 1PXX) using AutoDock Tool 1.5.6 was used to test the anti-inflammatory activity. In parallel, the in vitro technique involved spectrophotometric denaturation inhibition of the BSA (bovine serum albumin) protein. Results: The in silico results showed that the cyclovalone ligand exhibited the highest interaction and stability, with Gibbs free energies of -9.3 kcal/mol against COX-1 and -9.8 kcal/mol against COX-2, compared to the control ligand diclofenac, which had Gibbs free energies of -6.5 kcal/mol against COX-1 and -8.5 kcal/mol against COX-2. The 30% ethanol extract of cogon grass roots demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in the in vitro analysis, with an IC50 value of 71.79 µg/mL. Conclusions: These preliminary findings suggest that the ethanol extract of cogon grass roots contains cyclovalone compounds with potential as anti-inflammatory agents.
