Abstract

Indonesian termites are one of the wealthiest biological resources considering their very high species diversity (300 species) and extensive geographical distribution in the Indonesian mainland. However, its potential as a source of bioactive compounds has not been fully explored. One of the endemic termite sub-families of Indonesian, Macrotermitinae (Isoptera: Termitidae), has a food source in the form of fungal nodules that grow and spread in a particular structure in the termite nest that is shaped like a mammalian brain called a fungus comb, which likely serves as a source of bioactive compounds. This study aims to analyze the potential of fungus comb from an Indonesian Macrotermitinae sub-family species as a source of antioxidants. Antioxidant activity was tested on four different extracts of fungus comb (EFC), namely hexane extract, ethyl acetate extract, methanol extract and water extract, using DPPH• (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS•+ (2,2′-azino-di-[3-ethylbenzthiazolinesulphonate]) radicals. The results showed that the highest antioxidant activity was found in methanol extract, followed by ethyl acetate extract with IC50 values of 0.6 mg/mL and 0.75 mg/mL, respectively. TEAC (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity) analysis confirmed the high antioxidant activity of methanol extract.

Abstract

A new a-pyrone, i.e., cryptocrassinervione (1), and a new flavone glycoside, i.e., kaempferol-3-O-rhamnosyl-2-O-apiofuranoside (4), were isolated from EtOAc extract of Cryptocarya crassinervia leaves. Along with these compounds, two known flavone glycosides, namely afzelin (2) and quercitrin (3), were also isolated. The structures of the new compounds were determined based on NMR and mass spectral data. Compounds 1–4 were examined against eight receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) (EGFR, HER2, HER4, IGF1R, InsR, KDR, PDGFRα, and PDGFRβ), which showed that these compounds were moderately active against EGFR, with inhibition percentages of 55, 49, 41, and 44%, respectively. They were weakly active against HER2, with inhibitions of 17, 20, 18, and 16%, respectively. However, they were not active against the rest of the RTKs. Nevertheless, compounds 1–4 have potency as inhibitors of EGFR.

Abstract

The oxidation of dipyrromethane by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) generally produces dipyrrin, but in the presence of trace water, a meso-hydroxy dipyrromethane can be formed. To investigate this unusual product, we then studied meso-hydroxy bis(p-anisoyl)-p-fluorophenyl dipyrromethane (3) obtained from the oxidation of bis(p-anisoyl)-p-fluorophenyl dipyrromethane (2). Spectroscopic studies (1H-NMR, UV-Vis, and fluorescence), mass spectrometry, and computational analyses were performed to investigate this mechanism. Zinc complexation of compound 3 altered the 1H-NMR spectrum and shifted the absorption peak from 325 nm to 567 nm with “turn-on” fluorescence. Thermochemical studies have indicated that the formation of meso-hydroxy requires energy higher than dipyrrin. This study suggests that the electronic properties of meso-aryl and acyl groups are the key factors for the nucleophilic attack of water on cationic dipyrromethane intermediate. These results further improve the understanding of dipyrromethane oxidation pathways, which is crucial for the design and synthesis of dipyrrin-chemosensors.

Abstract. Witasari LD, Lizar DP, Florencia OM, Ramadhan A, Fiana NAO, Supriyadi S, Pratiwi SUT, Nandika D, Karlinasari L, Arinana A, Batubara I, Santoso D, Rachmayanti Y, Firmansyah D, Sudiana IK, Hertanto DM, Rachmayanti Y, Firmansyah D. 2023. Designing antimicrobial active packaging films based on chitosan plus fungus comb ethyl acetate extract from Indo-Malayan termite mounds. Biodiversitas 24: 5947-5955. Antimicrobial active packaging systems incorporate antimicrobial compounds into polymer films, i.e., chitosan, thus suppress spoilage microorganism growth in foods. Chitosan films itself cannot prevent microbial growth, thus other antimicrobial agent must be added. Fungus comb extract from Indo-Malayan termite (Macrotermes gilvus (Hagen, 1858)) mounds is a potential active organic antimicrobial compound, which can be incorporated into chitosan films. The purpose of this study was to develop and characterize active packaging films based on chitosan plus an antimicrobial fungus comb ethyl acetate extract. Films contained 1% chitosan and fungus comb ethyl acetate extract (0.5, 1, 2, and 5% w/v). Notably, films containing 2 and 5% extracts inhibited Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), but not fungi. Films plus 2% extract showed a thickness, tensile strength, and strain of 0.13 mm, 2.15 MPa, and 32.55%, respectively. Films had a moisture content of 0.26%, water solubility of 2.68%, swelling property of 2.37%, and water vapor permeability (WPV) of 3.31×10?10 g.m?1s?1.Pa?1. They displayed smooth morphology but no new functional groups. Thus, chitosan plus 2% of fungus comb ethyl acetate extract can be used in antimicrobial active packaging films for food application. It could be applied as a green alternative to prolong the shelf-life of food products.
