Abstract

An antituberculosis activity test of N-p-Methylbenzyl-p-coumaramide (MBC) against M. tuberculosis H37Rv has been carried out. The purpose of this study was to determine the antituberculosis activity of MBC against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The study was conducted using agar diffusion method. The test solution was prepared by dissolving MBC in 20 mL Ogawa medium to a final concentration of 0.25; 0.50; 1; and 2 mg/L. PDA media that had been inoculated with M. tuberculosis H37Rv (seeded agar) were poured over the base layer on the petridish surface. Paper disks that have been immersed in the test solution were put symmetrically on the seeded agar. Furthermore, the seeds were incubated at 37 oC for 48 hours. Then the diameter of the inhibition zone was measured to the accuracy of 0.5 mm with a ruler. The results showed that MBC has biological activity as an antituberculosis. MBC can inhibit the growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv at a concentration of 0.25; 0.50; 1; and 2 mg/L with a diameter of inhibitory zones respectively 8.9; 13.7; 18.5; and 21.3 mm. This showed that the inhibition of MBC on the growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv increased with increasing concentration of MBC used.

Abstract

The crab shell (Portunus pelagis) is still an untapped waste, especially on Bangka Island. Actually, this shell has a high value because there is chitin and chitosan. Chitosan is a biopolymer which has recently been developed into adsorbents, membranes and edible films. The deacetylation process of chitin will be the key to the quality of chitosan produced. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to see the effect of the chitin deacetylation process into chitosan using a microwave. Microwave deacetylation process is carried out with various time variations at 1200 W and 100oC. Characterization and degree of deacetylation (DD) of chitosan crab were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results showed that deacetylation using conventional methods for 120 minutes at a temperature 100oC had DD 76.67% while deacetylation using microwave for 40 minutes at a temperature of 100oC had a DD  77.89%. Microwave deacetylation is three times faster than conventional methods.

Abstract

Stylotella sp. sponge is a type of marine invertebrate animals that are widely distributed in Indonesian marine areas. One of the spreading areas of the Stylotella sp. sponge is in the Selayar Islands, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Sponges have potential as a drug because they contain secondary metabolites. The aim study was to identify the types of secondary metabolite compounds and determine the bioactivity of Stylotella sp. compounds against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The extraction method was used in the process of obtaining isolates because it is easy and economical. Testing the level of purity of isolates was carried out with three eluent systems which showed a single stain result. FTIR characterization results showed that pure isolates contained alkaloids which were characterized by the appearance of O-H, C-N, and C-H groups. The activity of MCF-7 cells using the colorimetric method showed an IC50 value of 14987.50 µg / mL, not toxic.

Abstract

Copper is an essential heavy metal, but if in concentrations that pass the threshold and accumulate in the body, it will be toxic which can cause various diseases. One of the methods for determining Cu(II) metal is the Adsorptive stripping voltammetry (VSAd). This research is to determine the metal using voltammetry stripping Adsorptive (VSAd) in samples of river water and sea water. To obtain maximum results in this method, it is necessary to have optimum conditions for various ligands (chalcone, 2,2' Bipyridine, 8-Hydroxyquinoline, Ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) for potential accumulation , accumulation time, pH and optimum ligand concentration, as well as determining the accuracy and precision of the method used by determining the relative standard deviation (SDR) value, as well as the recovery value. The results obtained were chalcone as the optimum ligand, the optimum accumulation potential was -0.1 V, the optimum accumulation time was 60 seconds, the optimum solution pH was 6, and the optimum chalcone concentration was 0.5 mM. The relative standard deviation value is 4.27%, the recovery value is 98.31%. The application of the VSAd method to water samples resulted in the concentration of Cu(II) metal in the Batang Air Sidingin Padang river sample, which was 4.778 g/L and the estuary of Padang which was 5.189 g/L.

Abstract

stress oxidative is a factor promoting metabolic syndrome and other diseases. oxidative stress could be minimalized by exogen and endogen antioxidants. Essential oil from Cymbopogon citratus extract have potential activities as anti-inflammatory and relaxing. This study determined the potential activity as antioxidant through kelch ECH associating protein 1 (KEAP1) inhibition. Four phytosterol compounds from Cymbopogon citratus essential oil, including 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene, decanal, elemol, dan selina- 6-en-4-ol, were downloaded from PubChem database. four compounds were docked with KEAP1 protein and analyzed using Discovery studio ver. 19.0.0.  3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene, decanal, elemol, and selina-6-en-4-ol bound to KEAP1 in certain amino acid residues with hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond. Interestingly, 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene proved five hydrophobic interaction, higher than decanal and selina-6-en-4-ol. The elemol, and selina-6-en-4-ol interacted with KEAP1 showing lower binding affinity and tight interaction. This study suggested that 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene, decanal, elemol, and selina-6-en-4-ol promoted antioxidant activity.

Abstract

Lake Tempe is a technical lake that stretches across three districts in South Sulawesi, namely Wajo Regency, Sidendang Rappang Regency and Soppeng Regency. Because of its vastness, people use the lake for various activities, one of which is the textile industry. The textile industry uses a lot of chemicals which are then dissolved in water. These materials contain suspended solids, organic substances and heavy metals. The washing stage is the final process of the textile industry. The waste product is liquid waste containing heavy metals, including copper (Cu). To reduce or remove Cu metal found in Tempe Lake, phytoremediation techniques are used. Phytoremediation is an effort made to remove hazardous substances in areas contaminated with waste by using plants that have phytoremediator properties. Water plants that can be used are apu wood (Pistia stratiotes). The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of apu (Pistia stratiotes) to remediate Cu2 + in contaminated Lake Tempe water. The research method used included: Cu2+ assay, physicochemical analysis, Bio-Concentration Factor (BCF) and identification of functional groups. The greatest adsorbed Cu metal ion on apu wood is on the 10th day of 100,274 mg / Kg.

Abstract

The researcher has succeeded in synthesizing the Ferri Salen-Taenolite complex as a clay based catalyst and applying it to the reaction of glycerol carbonate formation. Lewis acidity of the catalyst complex can increase through the immobilization process in addition, the activity and selectivity of the catalyst also increase. The formation of salene ligands is shown by the appearance of the peak C=N at the wave number around 1640 cm-1 and the O-H peak around 3400 cm-1. The formation of the Fe(salen)NO3 complex is indicated by the reduction of the vibration intensity O-H at the wave number of about 3400 cm-1 and the shift of the peak C=N in the area around 1640 cm-1 to 1690 cm-1. The complex [Fe(salen)]NO3 has been synthesized with physical properties in the form of brown powder and effective magnetic moment by 2,197 BM. The complex [Fe(salen)] + was successfully immobilized into the LiTN as much as 9.12 mmol/g LiTN. Based on the catalytic activity test, the catalyst was active in the reaction of polycarbonate monomer formation which is indicated by a change in vibration of the urea carbonyl (CO amine) group at wave number 4242 cm-1 to vibrate the carbonyl group (CO ester) at wave number 1786 cm-1 which indicates that glycerol carbonate has been formed.
