Abstract

Pemilihan metode sintesis akan berpengaruh terhadap karakter material yang dihasilkan yang meliputi kristanilitas, morfologi, luas permukaan, maupun kinerja dalam aplikasinya. Pada penelitian ini telah disintesis HKUST-1 secara solvo-hidrotermal dan elektrokimia dalam pelarut EtOH:H2O (1:1 (v/v)) dan diujicobakan sebagai katalis heterogen dalam esterifikasi asam palmitat. Sintesis secara solvo-hidrotermal, berlangsung dalam autoklaf selama 12 jam pada suhu 120 °C. Sementara itu, sintesis HKUST-1 secara elektrokimia digunakan elektroda tembaga, tegangan sel 15 V selama 90 menit dengan bantuan elektrolit TBATFB pada suhu dan tekanan ambien. Uji katalitik reaksi esterifikasi asam palmitat dilakukan dengan metode refluks selama 2 jam. HKUST-1 hasil sintesis menunjukkan kesesuaian puncak dengan pola difraksi standar CCDC 112954. Hasil refinement menunjukkan HKUST-1 yang diperoleh melalui metode solvo-hidrotermal memiliki kemurnian lebih tinggi. Analisis morfologi menggunakan citra SEM menunjukkan HKUST-1 yang disintesis secara solvo-hidrotermal bergeometri oktahedral sempurna dengan ukuran partikel rata-rata 10,28±1,5 μm, sedangkan HKUST-1 yang disintesis secara elektrokimia berbentuk oktahedral cacat (defect) dengan ukuran partikel rata-rata 4,5±1,6 μm. Analisis termal menunjukkan bahwa HKUST-1 hasil sintesis memiliki stabilitas hingga 300 °C. Uji katalitik dalam reaksi esterifikasi asam palmitat dengan etanol dengan keberadaan katalis HKUST-1 (0,6% berat) menunjukkan peningkatan konversi produk dengan konversi yang paling tinggi ditunjukkan pada HKUST-1 yang disintesis dengan metode elektrokimia (mencapai 43,3%).Effect of Solvo-Hydrothermal and Electrochemical Synthesis Methods on the Structural Morphology of HKUST-1 as a Heterogeneous Catalyst in Palmitic Acid Esterification Reaction. Selection of synthesis method will influence the materials properties including crystallinity, morphology, surface area, and application performance. In this research HKUST-1 was successfully synthesized under solvo-hydrothermal and electrochemical method, and tested as a heterogeneous catalyst in esterification reactions of palmitic acid. Synthesis under solvo-hydrothermal condition was performed in an autoclave at 120 °C for 12h. In addition, the electrochemical synthesis of HKUST-1 using copper electrodes was performed at 15 V in ambient temperature and pressure, for  90 minutes with TBATFB as an electrolyte. The catalytic test in palmitic acid esterification reaction was carried out by reflux for 2h. The HKUST-1 showed conformity with the standard diffraction pattern CCDC 112954. The refinement results shows that solvothermal product has higher purity. Morphological analysis using SEM imaging showed HKUST-1 obtained from solvo-hydrothermal method possess perfect octahedral geometry with average particle size 10.28±1.58 μm, meanwhile electrochemically-synthesized possess a defect octahedral geometry with average particle size  4.5±1.6 μm. Thermal analysis showed that HKUST-1 is stable up to 300 °C. Catalytic test in esterification reaction of palmitic acid with ethanol in the presence of HKUST-1 as catalyst (0.6% wt) showed an enhanced product conversion with highest conversion was achieved in the presence of electrosyntehsized HKUST-1 (up to 43.3%).

Abstract

Jahe merah (Zingiber officinale Roscoe var. Rubrum) merupakan tanaman rempah yang sering digunakan untuk pengobatan tradisional. Penelitian tentang senyawa bioaktif jahe merah telah banyak diteliti, namun penelitian untuk mengidentifikasi senyawa bioaktif sebagai sumber antioksidan menggunakan pendekatan metabolomik berbasis HPLC belum dilakukan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi komponen bioaktif jahe merah sebagai antioksidan dengan pendekatan metabolomik. Profil senyawa kimia dari ekstrak dan fraksi (heksana, kloroform, etil asetat, dan air) dianalisis menggunakan High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) yang dilanjutkan dengan analisis metabolomik Orthogonal Projection to Latent Structure (OPLS). Hasil uji metabolomik OPLS diperoleh fraksi etil asetat sebagai sampel yang paling berkontribusi terhadap aktivitas antioksidan. Sampel ini kemudian diidentifikasi menggunakan UHPLC-MS/MS dan diketahui bahwa komponen bioaktif atau specific marker pada jahe merah adalah senyawa [6]-gingerol. Kandungan senyawa [6]-gingerol merupakan senyawa yang paling dominan diikuti oleh 8-gingerol dan 10-gingerol dengan nilai masing-masing secara berurutan adalah 88,61±0,52; 23,59±0,41; dan 21,85±0,63 mg/g ekstrak.Identification of Active Components of Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe var. Rubrum) as a Source of Antioxidants with HPLC-Based Metabolomics Approach. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe var. Rubrum) is a rhizome used as a traditional medicine. Research on red ginger bioactive compounds has been widely studied but research to identify bioactive compound as source of antioxidant using HPLC-based metabolomic approaches has not been carried out. This study aims to identify the active compound of red ginger as an antioxidant with a metabolomic approach. Chemical profiles of the extracts and fractions (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and water) were analyzed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), followed by Orthogonal Projection to Latent Structure (OPLS) metabolomic analysis. The results of the OPLS metabolomic analysis showed that the ethyl acetate fraction is the sample that contributed the most to antioxidant activity. This sample was then identified using UHPLC-MS/MS showing that the bioactive component or specific marker in red ginger was [6]-gingerol. The [6]-gingerol content was the most dominant component, followed by [8]-gingerol and [10]-gingerol with values respectively 88.61±0.52, 23.59±0.41, and 21.85±0.63 mg/g extract.

Perubahan yang terjadi dari penyakit Alzheimer, yakni penurunan fungsi kognitif, memori, dan perubahan perilaku secara permanen. Senyawa aktif pada daun sirih merah memiliki kesamaan kandungan dengan daun sirih hijau untuk menghambat butirilkolinesterase (BChE). Butirilkolinesterase adalah salah satu enzim yang berperan dalam penanganan penyakit Alzheimer dikaitkan dengan terbentuknya Alzheimer, yakni hipotesis kolinergik. Penelitian dilakukan menguji daya inhibisi senyawa aktif yang terkandung dalam daun sirih merah terhadap aktivitas butirilkolinesterase melalui pendekatan simulasi penambatan molekuler. Penelitian menggunakan dua metode, yakni penggabungan penapisan virtual dan penambatan molekuler sebagai tahapan awal pengembangan daun sirih merah terhadap aktivitas penghambatan butirilkolinesterase. Hasil dalam penelitian diperoleh, daya inhibisi terbaik ditemukan pada 1,2,3,4,5,6,7-heptazacycloicosane sebesar 0,4888 µM dan energi bebas pengikatan sebesar -8,6 kkal∙mol-1. Residu yang berperan dalam menghambat butirilkolinesterase, yakni pada pengikatan substrat oleh ligan uji, yakni Tyr-332 dan Trp-82. Hasil penelitian ini dapat dijadikan sebagai sumber referensi dalam menemukan alternatif pengobatan penyakit Alzheimer. Molecular Docking of the Active Compound of Red Betel (Piper crocatum) on Butyrylcholinesterase as an Antialzheimer's Candidate. Alzheimer's is a chronic neurodegenerative disease often experienced by the elderly. Changes that occur from Alzheimer's disease such as permanent decline in cognitive function, memory, and behavioral changes. The active compounds in red betel leaves have similar contents with green betel leaves to inhibit butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Butyrylcholinesterase is an enzyme that may play an important role in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease associated with the formation of Alzheimer's, the cholinergic hypothesis. The study tested the inhibition power of the active compounds contained in red betel leaves against the activity of butyrylcholinesterase through a molecular docking simulation approach. The method in the study used the merger of virtual screening and molecular docking as the initial stage for the development of red betel leaves against the inhibitory activity of butyrylcholinesterase. The result in the study found the best inhibitiron power was found at 1,2,3,4,5,6,7-heptazacycloicosane of 0.4888 µM and binding free energy of -8.6 kkal∙mol-1. The residues that play a role in the inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase on substrate binding by test ligands were Tyr-332 and Trp-82. The research result can be used as a reference in finding alternative treatments for Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract

Karbon memiliki kemampuan untuk membuat jaringan ikatan hibridisasi sp, sp‒sp2, sp2, sp3, dan sp2‒sp3,sehingga karbon terdapat dalam banyak bentuk alotrop seperti grafit, diamond, graphene, nanofiber, nanofoam, dan nanotube. Carbon nanofoam (CNF) terbentuk dari atom karbon yang terikat secara sp2 dan sp3. CNF memiliki struktur sel terbuka yang saling berhubungan, densitas yang sangat rendah, stabilitas termal yang tinggi, dan porositas yang tinggi. CNF dapat diperoleh dengan menggunakan berbagai metode seperti chemical vapor depositon, laser ablsasi, arc-discharge, dan pirolisis. Sintesis dengan berbagai jenis sumber karbon dan keadaan eksperimen menghasilkan material yang memiliki berbagai ukuran, luas permukaan, dan strukturnya. Struktur CNF terdiri dari dua jenis berdasarkan pola tepi strukturnya yaitu zigzag dan armchair. Hasil karakterisasinya menunjukkan bahwa CNF lebih banyak mengandung karbon dengan hibridisasi sp2 dengan struktur yang berinterkoneksi satu sama lain dan memiliki densitas yang sangat rendah. Selain itu, material ini juga memiliki pori dalam ukuran mesopori dan luas permukaan yang tinggi. Sifat unik yang dimiliki oleh CNF berpotensi diaplikasikan dalam berbagai bidang seperti filter, superkapasitor, dan energy storage. Synthesis of Carbon Nanofoam and Its Characteristics. Carbon can create sp, sp‒sp2, sp2, sp3, and sp2‒sp3 hybridized bond networks, which make carbon in many allotropes forms such as graphite, diamond, graphene, nanofiber, nanofoam, and nanotubes. Carbon nanofoam  (CNF) is formed by sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon atoms. CNF has an interconnected open-cell structure, very low density, high thermal stability, and high porosity. CNF is obtained using several methods, such as laser ablation, arc-discharge, chemical vapor deposition, and pyrolysis. Synthesis with various types of carbon sources and experimental conditions resulted in materials having various sizes, surface areas, and structures. The structure of CNF consists of two edge pattern types, including zigzag and armchair. The characterization results show that CNF contains more interconnected carbon with sp2 hybridization and has a very low density. In addition, this material also has pores in the mesoporous size and high surface area. The unique properties of CNF provide potential applications in various fields, such as filters, supercapacitors, and energy storage.

Abstract

Kanker payudara merupakan penyebab kedua terbanyak kematian pada wanita akibat kanker setelah kanker paru-paru di seluruh dunia. Steroid merupakan kelompok senyawa aktif yang diantaranya berhasil diisolasi dari genus Chisocheton yang dilaporkan memiliki aktivitas melawan sel kanker payudara MCF-7. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui interaksi senyawa steroid terhadap estrogen alfa (ER-α) melalui metode in silico, yaitu penambatan molekul. Pemodelan struktur tiga dimensi (3D) senyawa steroid dilakukan dengan memperhatikan keadaan terprotonasinya pada pH 7,4. Metode in silico divalidasi melalui penambatan ulang struktur kristal ER-α, hingga diperoleh nilai RMSD < 2 Å, dengan program AutoDock 4.2.6. Dengan program yang sama, senyawa-senyawa steroid ditapis dengan metode penambatan molekul. Hasil penapisan menghasilkan nilai energi bebas dari kedua senyawa steroid yaitu -10,08 kkal/mol (7α-hidroksi-β-sitosterol) dan -10,75 kkal/mol (stigmast-5-en-3β-ol), yang nilainya lebih baik dari estradiol (-9,62 kkal/mol), sebagai ligan alami ER-α. Kedua senyawa ini berpotensi untuk menginhibisi estrogen alfa, dimana senyawa stigmast-5-en-3β-ol memiliki potensi yang lebih besar karena nilai energi bebasnya lebih rendah. Hal ini menandakan bahwa modifikasi struktur senyawa mampu mengubah nilai energi ikatan dan interaksi antara ligan dan reseptor.In Silico Study of Steroid Compound Activity Against Breast Cancer Using Estrogen Alpha (ER-α). Breast cancer is the second worldwide leading cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer. Steroids are a group of active compounds isolated from the Chisocheton genus that has activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. This study aimed to determine the interaction activity of steroid compounds against alpha estrogen receptor (ER-α) through in silico method specifically mlecular docking. The modeling of the three-dimensional structure (3D) of steroid compounds was performed by considering their protonation states at pH 7.4. The in silico method was validated by redocking the crystal structure of ER-α until obtaining an RMSD value < 2 Å, using the AutoDock 4.2.6 program. Steroids compounds were screened with the same program namely the molecular docking method. Screening results show that the free energy values of the steroid compounds were -10.08 kcal/mol (7α-hydroxy-β-sitosterol) and -10.75 kcal/mol (stigmast-5-en-3β-ol), which are stronger than estradiol (-9.62 kcal/mol) as native ligand of ER-α. Both of these compounds can inhibit the alpha estrogen receptor, in which the stigmast-5-en-3β-ol compound has a greater potential because of its lower free energy value. This finding indicates that modification of the compound's structure could change the binding energy value and interaction between ligands and receptors.

Abstract

Cacao is attractive for its flavor and taste and its beneficial effects. Therefore, this commodity is promising to be developed as a functional food. Many studies reported the bioactive compounds in cacao beans and their health benefits. However, to attain desirable flavor and taste, the curing process of cacao beans is a common practice, in which fermentation is one of the processes. Despite its significance, fermentation also alters the bioactive components in cacao beans. To develop a functional food rich in bioactive compounds, measuring the bioactive contents of treated and untreated cacao beans is desired. For that reason, in this study, the analysis of total polyphenol, flavonoid, catechin, and epicatechin, as well as the radical scavenging activity of fermented cacao beans, was performed. The study revealed that fermentation negatively affected all parameters. Cacao beans fermentation up to 96 h resulted in the loss of 54% of total polyphenol, 77% of total flavonoid, and 56% of radical scavenging activity. Determination of the flavan-3-ol components, catechin, and epicatechin,  revealed that they were reduced as the fermentation occurred.

Abstract

Hiperglikemia merupakan ciri diabetes melitus, sekelompok penyakit metabolik yang disebabkan oleh kelainan sekresi insulin, kerja insulin, atau keduanya. Hiperglikemia dapat menyebabkan kerusakan jangka panjang, disfungsi, dan kegagalan berbagai organ, terutama jantung, mata, saraf, pembuluh darah, dan ginjal. Oleh karena itu, diagnosis dan pemantauan rutin kadar glukosa darah sangat penting dilakukan. Hemoglobin terglikasi (HbA1c) adalah hemoglobin yang berikatan dengan glukosa dalam darah dan ditetapkan menjadi biomarker hiperglikemia yang dapat mengindikasikan diabetes atau prediabetes. Akan tetapi, pengukuran HbA1c di laboratorium klinis membutuhkan instrumen yang canggih dan mahal, tenaga ahli khusus dan waktu lama. Oleh karena itu, biosensor elektrokimia kemudian mulai dikembangkan untuk mendeteksi kadar HbA1c karena mudah digunakan, hasil cepat, dan harga yang murah. Ulasan ini membahas biosensor elektrokimia untuk mendeteksi HbA1c dan metode imobilisasi bioreseptor.Electrochemical Biosensor for Monitoring Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Levels in Diabetes Mellitus. Hyperglycemia is a hallmark of diabetes mellitus,  a group of metabolic diseases caused by defects in insulin action, insulin secretion, or both. Hyperglycemia can cause long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of various organs, especially the heart, blood vessels, eyes, nerves, and kidneys.. Therefore, routine diagnosis and monitoring of blood glucose levels are very important. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is hemoglobin that binds to glucose in the blood and is established as a biomarker of hyperglycemia that may indicate diabetes or prediabetes. However, measurement of HbA1c in the clinical laboratory requires large and expensive instruments, specialized experts, and takes a long time. Therefore, an electrochemical biosensor began to be developed to detect HbA1c levels because it is easy to use and has fast results at lower prices. This review discusses electrochemical biosensors for detecting HbA1c and the immobilization of bioreceptors.
