Abstract

Tea waste products were thrown out without any intention to utilize their potential benefits. This waste will help to improve industries to absorb rhodamine-B (RhB) dye pollutants currently used by various industries. This study evaluated the application of tea waste products to remove Rh-B from aqueous systems by investigating adsorption kinetics in a batch process. The ability and mechanism of Indonesian black and green tea in RhB adsorption were determined by optimizing temperature, pH, contact time, and concentration of dye solution. Achievement of equilibrium attained at 40 min for black tea (BT) and green tea (GT). Subsequently, the adsorption capacity reached optimum at 80 and 70 °C for GT, and the maximum adsorption capacities for BT and GT were 22 and 47 mg/g, respectively, at pH 2.5. The absorption of RhB in both bio-sorbents was an exothermic process that well fit the Langmuir model and a pseudo-second-order reaction. The presented R2 values from the Langmuir isotherm are 0.9967 (BT) and 0.9979 (GT). The separation factor was determined as 0.026 (BT) and 0.055 (GT). Thermodynamic studies were carried out to calculate free energy, enthalpy, and entropy changes. The result showed that the removal study of BT and GT is 59.06 and 60.25%, respectively, using 10% acetic acid. Study comparisons were carried out on both teas with other bio-sorbents for more improvement. These results show that tea waste products can be used as alternative adsorbents to absorb RhB from wastewater.

Abstract

Dietary intervention plays a significant role in regulating hyperlipidemia. Besides, elicited soybean has greater bioactive contents with numerous health benefits potential. However, there is no evidence of the hypolipidemic activity of elicited soybean. This study will explore the potential mechanism of hypolipidemic activity of bioactive compounds from elicited soybean through computational modeling. The phytocompounds from elicited soybean were identified by Liquid Chromatography-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS), then screened for potential toxicity and drug-likeness properties. Compounds with low potential toxicity and excellent drug-likeness properties were screened for hypolipidemic activity against 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase (HMGCR) and Peroxisome Proliferator Activator Receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ) through molecular docking coupled with molecular dynamics. The result showed that phytocompounds from the isoflavonoid group have an excellent affinity to bind with the HMGCR and PPAR-γ. Daidzein, Genistein, and Glycitein interacted with the catalytic residues of HMGCR to act as potential inhibitors with great affinity and stability. Genistein and Glycitein showed strong affinity and stability during their interaction with the agonistic sites of PPAR-γ. Further, the protein network described that targeting HMGCR inhibitor and PPAR-γ had the advantage in orchestrating cholesterol metabolism homeostasis. In summary, isoflavonoids from elicited soybean may have hypolipidemic activity through HMGCR inhibition and PPAR-γ activation.

Abstract

Industrial dye wastewater can potentially cause significant harm to organisms and the environment across the world. Methylene blue (MB) is a synthetic dye that can be found in wastewater. Immobilizing clay material and degradative bacteria into a carrier is the best way to remove MB. Therefore, this study aimed to immobilize Bacillus subtilis in sodium alginate (SA)-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-Bentonite for adsorption and degrading MB in nutritious mineral salt medium (MSM) and non-nutritious media. The result showed that SA-PVA-Bentonite-non-living B. subtilis beads (SPB-nBS) had the highest result in non-nutritious medium, approximately 88.89%. While in nutritious MSM, living B. subtilis addition into beads (SPB-BS) reached the highest MB removal, which was 94.31%. Nutritious MSM had a role as the sole carbon and energy for living B. subtilis. So, it could adsorb and degrade MB by its enzymatic system. The degradation products were predicted as C7H10N2O4S, C8H10N2O2 and C6H8N2O3S. Hence, this study indicated that a nutritious medium was the suitable medium for MB degradation. According to the SEM result, the bacteria spread and covered the beads. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics and isotherms were also analyzed; SPB beads followed the pseudo-second order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm.

Abstract

A new series of xanthyl-cinnamate hybrid compounds (4a-d) have been synthesized and screened through in vitro assay against four human cancer cell lines, i.e., HeLa, T47D, A549, and WiDr. The results revealed that xanthone hybridization with cinnamic acid increases the selectivity of the compounds with SI values of 2.75–209.03 compared to its parent oxygenated-xanthone. Compound 1,3-dihydroxyxanthen-6-yl cinnamate (4c) showed high cytotoxic activity against WiDr cell lines with an IC50 value of 39.57 µM. Molecular docking studies revealed the possible binding modes of all hybrid compounds with EGFR protein. A complex of 3,6-dihydroxyxanthen-1-yl cinnamate (4d)-EGFR, as the best binding model, exhibited higher predicted EGFR inhibitory activity than erlotinib and oxygenated-xanthone with a ΔG and Ki value of -35.02 kJ/mol and 0.74 µM, respectively. Compounds 4c and 4d were chosen as the most potent derivates from the study.

Abstract

In this research, the effect of strontium oxide (SrO) and hydroxyapatite (HA) on the properties of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) have been studied. MTA contained 20% SiO2, 60% CaO, and 2% Al2O3. Bi2O3 and SrO have been added with 18% (w/w) total percentage. MTA was prepared with a sol-gel process using a weak base (NH3) as a catalyst and calcined at 1000 °C for 3 h. The effect of HA was investigated by adding various percentages (3, 6, and 9%) on the MTA modified with 5% SrO. The modified MTA (MTA-SrO-HA) products were hydrated using water with the MTA to water weight ratio of 3:1. The results showed that tricalcium silicate (C3S), dicalcium silicate (C2S), Bi2O3, and strontium silicate peaks were detected in the XRD patterns. An increase in the intensity in the infrared spectra of CaO occurred after hybridization with HA. In addition, bonding of Ca-O-Si appeared at 879 and 995 cm−1, indicating the formation of cement. MTA modified with 5% SrO and 6% HA showed similar compressive strength to the commercial MTA (ProRoot brand). Furthermore, MTA-SrO5/HA6 showed a strong interface interaction with dentin adheres without any gaps, indicating a potential dental material for the future.

Abstract

In the current study, a direct method was used to synthesize a new series of charge-transfer complex compounds. Reaction of different quinones with 3,4-selenadiazo benzophenone in a 1:1 mole ratio by acetonitrile gave a unique charge-transfer complex compound in a good yield. All compounds were characterized by UV-Vis, FTIR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR. The analysis findings agreed with the produced compound’s proposed chemical structures. The molecular structure of the produced charge-transfer complex compounds has been investigated using density functional theory. The basis set of 3–21G geometrical designs throughout the geometry optimization, HOMO surfaces, LUMO surfaces, and energy gap has been created. The acceptor and donor have also been studied by comparing the HOMO energies of the charge-transfer complexes. The lower case, electron affinity, ionization potential, electronegativity, and electrophilicity where the total energies of donor-acceptor system and geometric structures demonstrate this structure’s stability. Additionally, the donor-acceptor system has higher reactivity than other systems and larger average polarizability when compared to the donor and acceptor. The findings of this study enable us to choose the kind of bridge that will interact with the donor and acceptor to determine the physical characteristics of the donor-bridge-acceptor.

Abstract

Bixin is a natural dye belonging to the carotenoid group that has been reported to have many health benefits. In this work, for the first time, metal-bixin complexes were synthesized through a simple green route using deep eutectic solvent (DES) as reaction media. DES was produced by stirring choline chloride and glycerol with a molar ratio of 1:3. The metal-bixin complex was prepared by grinding and stirring bixin and divalent metal ions (Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, separately) in DES at room temperature. DES formed in this work was a homogeneous colorless liquid with a freezing point below -20 °C. It has a pH, density, viscosity, and conductivity of 7.13, 148.99 cP, 1.207 g/cm3, and 1.8 mS/cm, respectively. UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis shows that the absorption spectra produced by the Mg(II)-bixin, Ca(II)-bixin, Zn(II)-bixin, and Cu(II)-bixin complexes show an insignificant shift in the direction of a larger wavelength (red shift) compared to pure bixin. Spectral fine structure expressed as %III/II, i.e., the ratio of the height of the longest-wavelength absorption to the middle absorption peak. The value of %III/II for bixin, Mg(II)-bixin, Ca(II)-bixin, Zn(II)-bixin, and Cu(II)-bixin are 16.77, 20.37, 17.39, and 13.52%, respectively. The results of the FTIR spectra analysis confirmed that the bond between bixin and metal ions occurred in the carboxylate acid group, indicated by a decrease in the absorption intensity at wavenumber 3389 and 1716 cm−1.

Abstract

Aromatic ginger (Kaempferia galanga L.) is one of the natural sources containing ethyl-p-methoxycinnamate, which is known to have beneficial activity, especially as an α-glucosidase inhibitor. This study aims to convert ethyl-p-methoxycinnamate into amide form as N-phenethyl-p-methoxycinnamamide (4a) and N-morpholinyl-p-methoxycinnamamide (4b) through some synthetic ways then tested their activity as an α-glucosidase inhibitor. The FTIR spectra of 4a present a short single peak at 3269.34 cm−1 that belongs to the N-H group, while spectra of 4b show no absorption band between 3200–3400 cm−1 due to its tertiary amide structure. Spectroscopy analysis through 1H- and 13C-NMR exhibits the successful synthesis of both compounds. Bioactivity test results show that compound 4b has better activity than 4a. In molecular dynamics simulation, the binding energy of compounds 4a and 4b reveal that both compounds have a similar binding energy of about -98980.8 and -97696.7 kJ mol−1, respectively.

Abstract

Gunningite has been successfully synthesized using the soft template method with the Pluronic F127-gelatin template. Gunningite was calcined at diverse temperatures of 500, 600, and 700 °C for 12 h and characterized by XRD, SEM, and FTIR. A UV-Vis Spectrophotometer measured the adsorption capacity of Gunningite against ibuprofen. The XRD results showed that the crystal sizes of Gunningite decreased from 35.41 to 28.31 nm with the increasing calcination temperature from 500 to 700 °C. Besides, the crystallinity degrees also increased from 49.94% to 56.13% as calcination temperature increased from 500 to 700 °C. The Gunningite formed aggregates in the form of tiny particles that merge and experience agglomeration. The FTIR spectra of the Gunningite samples demonstrated the functional groups –OH, Zn-OH, Zn-O-Zn, and gunningite vibrations. The maximum adsorption capacities of Gunningite to adsorb ibuprofen were 233.161 mg g−1 (500 °C), 219.543 mg g−1 (600 °C), and 227.033 mg g-1 (700 °C). The kinetic model of Gunningite on the ibuprofen adsorption followed the kinetic model of Ho and McKay.

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.
