Abstract

Kecombrang (Etlingera elatior) is a well-known herb in Indonesia that is widely used in traditional medicine and as a flavour in local dishes. The aim of this study was to identify retention time of antibacterial components from kecombrang flower extract (Etlingera elatior) by HPLC-based metabolomics method. The antibacterial activity of ethanol extracts, chloroform, and water fractions was assessed by well-diffusion agar method against Staphylococcus aureus. Only chloroform fraction showed medium inhibition activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The HPLC chemical profiles of the fractions were then correlated to their antibacterial activity profile by means of Orthogonal Projection to Latent Sructure (OPLS) analysis. Peak area with retention time of 0.96 - 1.12 min present in chloroform fraction at UV 250 nm was found to significantly correlate to the antibacterial activity (Y related coefficient value 0.73).

Abstract

Graphite as one alotrof carbon is widely used as an electrode material for a good electrical conductivity properties. Charcoal as a carbon source material was found very abundant in nature. Charcoal has the potential application for electrode material in energy storage such as in a battery or supercapacitor. For this purpose, charcoal amorphous structure needs to be converted into a graphite structure so that it has better electrical conductivity property. This research aims to prepare the electrical conductor material derived from wood charcoal that could potentially be used as an electrode. Preparation was made by mixing charcoal powder with asphalt binder with a weight ratio of 3:1, 4:1, 5:1 and followed by heat treatment under an inert atmosphere at temperature of 600°C, 800°C and 1000°C. Charcoal material which was originally to be an electrical insulator has been successfully converted into an electrical conductor. The achievement of the optimum temperature to produce electrodes with the smallest electrical resistance is then applied to the manufacture of carbon electrodes by heating a mixture of charcoal and fructose binder in a weight ratio of 1:1 (w/w). The results showed electrodes with a mixture of charcoal powder and fructose with heat treatment at 1000°C has the better electrical conductivity among other variations.

Abstract

Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) merupakan material berpori baru yang berpotensi sebagai pengantar dan pelepas lambat obat. Strukturnya yang fleksibel, ukuran pori kristalin yang teratur, dan sisi koordinasi yang beragam merupakan beberapa kelebihan dari MOFs yang mendukung dalam enkapsulasi berbagai obat. Metode yang dapat digunakan untuk sintesis MOFs diantaranya nanopresipitasi, solvothermal, reverse microemulsion, dan reaksi solvothermal dengan template surfaktan. Karakterisasi material hasil sintesis maupun profil setelah enkapsulasi (loading) dapat dilakukan menggunakan Scanning Electron Micrscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Differential Scanning Calorymetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), dan Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD). Metode loading obat terdiri dari dua kategori, yakni penggabungan agen biomedis secara langsung dan loading secara post synthesis. Sebelum MOFs diaplikasikan, perlu dilakukan aktivasi dan penempelan material obat. Pengujian lepas lambat dapat dijalankan pada beberapa kondisi seperti dalam Simulated Body Fluid (SBF), Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS), Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) maupun simulasi menggunakan Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC). Pengujian secara in vivo dan in vitro juga dapat dilakukan untuk mengetahui dampaknya pada tubuh makhluk hidup dan aktivitasnya terhadap sel patogen. Kombinasi organik linker dan ion logam pusat yang berbeda akan menghasilkan ukuran pori, fleksibilitas, kapasitas loading, profil pelepasan obat, toksisitas, dan kemampuan menginhibisi yang berbeda pula. Pada review kali ini akan dibahas tentang kajian singkat terkait struktur dan desain MOFs, bio-MOFs, nano bio MOFs, strategi sintesis, dan strategi loading dan pelepasan obat untuk aplikasi dalam biomedis. Selanjutnya akan diberikan beberapa contoh aplikasi yang sudah dilakukan sejauh ini misalnya beberapa jenis MOFs yang sudah dienkapsulasi dengan beberapa material obat, seperti 5-fluoracil, ibuprofen, doxorubicin, dan dikaji waktu pelepasannya dan interaksinya dengan permodelan komputasi.Study of Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as a Novel Material for Drug Delivery. Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a novel class of porous material that has wide potential applications including in drug delivery and slow release. Its flexible structure, regular crystalline pore size, and various coordination sites are some of the advantages of supporting MOFs properties in the encapsulation of various drugs. Various methods can be used for the MOFs synthesis include nanoprecipitation, solvothermal, reverse micro emulsion, and surfactant-templated solvothermal. Both characterization for synthesized materials and profile after encapsulation can be done using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD). The drug loading method consists of two categories, namely the direct incorporation of biomedical agents and post-synthesis method. Before MOFs are applied in biomedical application, activation and attachment of medicinal materials should be performed. Meanwhile, for slow release testing can be run on several conditions such as in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF), Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS), Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and simulation using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC). In vivo and in vitro testing can also be done to determine the impact on the body of living creatures and their activity on pathogen cells. Different organic linker and metal center combinations will result in pore size, flexibility, loading capacity, drug release profiles, toxicity, and different inhibiting ability. Herein, we will discuss a brief review of the structure and design of MOFs, bio-MOFs, nano-bio MOFs, synthesis, drug loading and release strategies for applications in biomedicine. Furthermore, there will be some examples of applications that have been done so far, e.g. some types of MOFs that have been encapsulated with some medicinal materials, such as 5-fluorouracil, ibuprofen, doxorubicin, and reviewed its release time and interaction with computational modeling.
