Abstract

Bioactive peptides are known for their diverse biological functions, many of which support health and well-being. In this study, we synthesized and evaluated the anti-inflammatory potential of the peptide AWVDY, derived from oyster (Crassostrea rivularis). The synthesis was performed using the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) method, applying the Fmoc strategy on 2-chlorotrityl chloride (2-CTC) resin, and achieved a high yield of 95.83%. The resulting peptide was characterized using Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (TOF-MS), which detected a peak at m/z [M+H⁺] 653.1418, consistent with the expected molecular formula C₃₂H₄₀N₆O₉. This was further validated by analytical HPLC, showing a retention time of 22.596 minutes. Molecular docking studies indicated that AWVDY binds favorably to the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and Interleukin-6, with binding affinities of -10.360, -10.430, and -8.960 kcal/mol, respectively. These findings suggest that AWVDY may act as a dual-target peptide capable of modulating inflammatory pathways, highlighting its potential as a promising candidate for the development of new anti-inflammatory therapeutics.

Abstract

Chemistry learning requires the integration of macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic representations. However, limited availability of practicum tools in senior high schools often hinders students’ comprehensive understanding of chemical concepts, particularly in electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions. This study aimed to develop and implement CHEMLIT, a sensor-based chemistry practicum tool designed to support learning on solution electrical conductivity. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Needs analysis was conducted through classroom observations and teacher interviews, followed by prototype design, assembly, calibration, and functional testing to ensure stability and safety. The implementation involved two senior high schools in the Minahasa region, with chemistry teachers serving as reviewers and students as trial users. Feasibility was evaluated by media experts, material experts, teachers, and students using five-point Likert-scale questionnaires, and the data were analyzed by converting scores into percentage-based feasibility criteria. Product feasibility was evaluated through validation by media experts, subject matter experts, chemistry teachers, and students using questionnaire instruments. The validation results indicated a very high level of feasibility, with scores of 91.7% from media experts, 96% from material experts, 92% from teachers, and student responses exceeding 93.99%, categorized as very good. These findings indicate that CHEMLIT meets technical, visual, and content feasibility standards and can serve as an alternative practicum tool for teaching electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions, especially in schools with limited laboratory facilities. Its novelty lies in a portable sensor-based design that integrates quantitative conductivity measurement into conventional testing without complex digital systems.
