Abstract

Endophytic fungi are microorganisms that live within plant tissues and are capable of producing secondary metabolites with potential antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. This study aimed to isolate, identify, and evaluate the antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi from the stem of Bauhinia fulva Blume through isolation, morphological identification, fermentation, ethyl acetate extraction, phytochemical screening, and antibacterial testing using the disk diffusion method. The results showed that the isolated endophytic fungus was identified as Fusarium solani, producing 1.4095 g of ethyl acetate extract. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, quinones, and triterpenoids/steroids. The ethyl acetate extract of F. solani exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a maximum inhibition zone of 20.85 mm and lower activity against Escherichia coli with a maximum inhibition zone of 5.56 mm, indicating its potential as a natural source of antibacterial compounds.

Abstract

Green synthesis strategies offer a sustainable approach for preparing semiconductor photocatalysts with tunable properties. In this study, ZnO particles were synthesized using shallot peel extract, and their structural, morphological, optical, and photocatalytic properties were systematically investigated. Structural characterization by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of phase-pure wurtzite ZnO, with crystallite sizes in the nanometer range. Scanning electron microscopy revealed hexagonal rod-like morphologies with dimensions of 1–2 μm, which are interpreted as polycrystalline assemblies of aggregated nanocrystallites. Optical analysis using UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy showed a direct bandgap of 3.02 eV and additional visible-light absorption, which may be associated with defect states and possible extrinsic contributions. Photoluminescence spectroscopy exhibited green emission attributed to intrinsic defects. The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized ZnO was evaluated through the removal of Rhodamine B under irradiation, achieving a maximum removal efficiency of 97.68% within 150 min. Kinetic analysis indicated that the process follows a pseudo-first-order model with an apparent rate constant of 0.0290 min⁻¹. The observed photocatalytic performance may be associated with the structural and optical characteristics of the synthesized ZnO. However, the specific roles of these factors, as well as the contribution of adsorption, cannot be conclusively distinguished in the absence of a control sample. Overall, this study provides insight into the relationship between synthesis conditions and the resulting properties of green-synthesized ZnO, while highlighting the need for further investigation to clarify the underlying mechanisms. This work demonstrates that shallot peel extract is an effective and environmentally benign capping agent for engineering ZnO photocatalysts with high efficiency for wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract

A study on the addition of natural in the form of Lerak (Sapindus rarak) fruit rinds extract (ESR and synthetic additives in the form of N,N-dimethylurea (DMU) compounds in the zinc electrodeposition process on iron plates was carried out at room temperature. The results of this study show that the electrodeposition of zinc in electrolyte solution treated with Sapindus rarak extract additive gives a more visually uniform and compact coating morphology based on optical microscopy observations coating product than the electrodeposition product without additive or using N,N-dimethylurea additive. This has been observed using the naked eye and supported by observations under an optical microscope. The existence of zinc coating on the surface of the iron plate is supported by an increase in material thickness (control: 0.051 mm), (DMU: 0.025 mm) and (ESR: 0.028 mm) and an increase in material weight (control: 0.085 g), (DMU: 0.074 g) and (ESR: 0.074 g). In conclusion, the addition of DMU and ESR reduced the thickness and mass gain compared with the additive-free control.

Abstract

Plastic waste continues to be an environmental issue in Indonesia, where the country ranks as the second-largest producer of plastic waste in the world. Bioplastics, derived from renewable materials such as starch, have the potential to serve as an alternative to conventional plastics. The objective of this research is to formulate biodegradable bioplastics utilizing sweet potato peel starch, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and gum Arabic, with glycerol added as a plasticizer. Initially, extraction was performed to obtain starch from sweet potato peels. Subsequently, the bioplastic production process was carried out using the wet mixing followed by the casting method by mixing 5 grams of sweet potato starch with the CMC in various weights (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 grams) and gum Arabic (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 grams). Mechanical property tests were conducted to evaluate the quality of the bioplastics, including tensile strength, elongation, and apparent modulus. The results indicate that higher concentrations of CMC and gum Arabic enhance tensile strength and rigidity, with a maximum tensile strength of 1.51 MPa achieved. However, increasing CMC concentration can reduce elongation properties. The bioplastics exhibited water absorption ranging from 15.3% to 81.3%, while biodegradability tests demonstrated that samples reached degradation levels of up to 93.8% within 28 days. This study demonstrates that sweet potato peel starch, combined with CMC and gum Arabic, can produce bioplastics with favorable mechanical properties and environmental friendliness, thus presenting a potential alternative method for reducing plastic pollution in Indonesia.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rifampicin is one of the primary anti-tuberculosis drugs; however, its clinical use is associated with gastrointestinal side effects and instability under acidic gastric conditions. Therefore, this study investigated the potential of an EDTA-functionalized ZSM-5 system as a rifampicin delivery carrier through an in silico approach. The study employed network pharmacology, Ramachandran analysis, molecular docking, toxicity prediction, and semi-realistic DFT-predicted electronic property analysis. Network pharmacology identified Cathepsin K (CTSK), BCL2, BCL2L1, and MCL1 as potential tuberculosis-related protein targets of rifampicin. Molecular docking showed that free rifampicin exhibited binding affinities of −9.1, −6.4, −9.7, −6.9, and −7.0 kcal/mol against CTSK, BCL2, BCL2L1, MCL1, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, respectively. Meanwhile, the ZSM-5–EDTA–rifampicin complex showed binding affinities of −5.9, −5.6, −6.1, −6.0, and −7.3 kcal/mol, indicating that the complex maintained favorable interactions with tuberculosis-related targets. The proposed interaction model suggested that rifampicin could be retained within the porous ZSM-5 framework through hydrogen bonding and non-covalent interactions. In addition, the semi-realistic DFT-predicted HOMO–LUMO analysis indicated relatively stable electronic properties with an estimated energy gap of 4.34 eV. Toxicity prediction classified the rifampicin complex as mutagenic but non-carcinogenic. Overall, these findings suggest that the ZSM-5–EDTA system has potential as a controlled rifampicin delivery platform and may support further development of tuberculosis drug delivery systems.

Abstract

Chromolaena odorata has traditionally been used to treat various diseases such as bacterial and fungal infections, external wounds, stomach ulcers, and vomiting blood. Its anticancer activity has been extensively studied. This study aims to prove the cytotoxic effect of Chromolaena odorata leaves on WiDr colon cancer cells and its inhibitory mechanism through cell cycle modulation. Dried Chromolaena odorata leaves were extracted by maceration using 96% ethanol. They were then triturated with n-hexane and ethyl acetate to obtain n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions. The ethyl acetate fraction was then screened for phytochemicals using the tube method and tested for cytotoxicity using the MTT assay. The selectivity index (SI) was calculated by comparing the IC50 of WiDr cells to Vero cells. Cell cycle modulation was then observed using flow cytometry. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction of Chromolaena odorata leaves contained flavonoids, phenolics, and tannins, and was moderately cytotoxic to WiDr cells with an IC50 of 207.69 µg/mL,, with an SI of 3.5. The ethyl acetate fraction of Chromolaena odorata was able to inhibit the growth of WiDr colon cancer cell division through the G2/M and Sub G1 phases. Thus, it was concluded that the ethyl acetate fraction of Chromolaena odorata has great potential to be developed as a candidate source of colon anticancer agents.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid content of ethyl acetate fractions from pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Durch.) and aibika (Abelmoschus manihot L.) leaves, and to evaluate the antioxidant activity of their combined fractions. Analysis of total phenolics and flavonoids content was carried out using UV-Vis spectrophotometry with gallic acid (phenolics) and quercetin (flavonoids) as standards. Antioxidant potential testing was carried out using the DPPH method. The results showed that the phenolics content of the ethyl acetate fraction of PLand ALwas 60.81 and 56.47 mgEAG/g, respectively, while the total flavonoids content of the ethyl acetate fraction of PLand ALwas 64.54 and 55.07 mgEK/g, respectively. The IC50 value of the combination of ethyl acetate fractions of PLand ALwith a ratio of 3:2 was 4.686 μg/mL, while the single ethyl acetate fractions of PLand ALwere 7.040 and 7.549 μg/mL, respectively. This indicates that increasing antioxidant activity can be done by combining fractions from two or more types of plants.

Abstract

Legume-based tempeh is a fermented food with the potential to support a healthy dietary pattern because it contains important nutritional components, including fatty acids. Germination and fermentation are known to influence lipid composition and fatty acid profiles in legumes, thereby potentially improving their nutritional value from a cardiovascular health perspective. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of germination, fermentation, and their combination on the fatty acid profiles of legume-based tempeh. The PRISMA method was used to select and review 14 articles retrieved from the ScienceDirect and Scopus databases. The findings indicate that germination and fermentation can modify the fatty acid profile of tempeh, particularly through changes in saturated and unsaturated fatty acid contents. Several studies reported a decrease in saturated fatty acids and an increase in unsaturated fatty acids, including oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, although the magnitude of these changes varied depending on the type of legume, germination time, fermentation duration, microorganism, and analytical method used. Among the tempeh varieties reviewed, cowpea tempeh subjected to 24 h germination followed by 24 h fermentation showed a relatively favorable fatty acid profile, characterized by increased unsaturated fatty acids and an estimated linoleic acid to linolenic acid ratio of approximately 2.3:1.

Abstract

Ca2Al2SiO7:Pr3+ is a potential UV-C-emitting material due to its photoluminescence properties. In this study, Ca2Al2SiO7:Pr3+ was synthesized via the sol-gel method as an alternative to the solid-state reaction method, which is energy-intensive and often yields low-quality phases. The synthesized products appeared as white powders for the undoped samples and pale green powders for the Pr³⁺-doped samples. XRD characterization showed that the optimum synthesis conditions were achieved at pH 5 with a calcination duration of 10 hours, yielding the highest-quality phase. Optical and photoluminescence characterization revealed a maximum UV-C emission at 273 nm and a band gap energy of 3.92 eV at a Pr³⁺ doping concentration of 7.25% moles.
