Abstract

Indonesia’s target to be a new industrial country makes a wide chance in the developing of many industrial sectors. The main problem is the disruption of environmental balance due to poorly managed liquid waste released by the industry. Heavy metal such as chromium (Cr) is the typical pollutant generated from tannery industry in Indonesia. Toxicity test of desorbed chromium ions from polluted soil around tannery industry in Yogyakarta-Indonesia by using Brassica junceaand Helianthus annuus L.has been carried out. In this research, soil samples were dividedinto four sample points based on the distances from the waste water point sources. Metal content and some physico-chemical properties including ash content, total organic carbon, and cation exchange capacity were determined in this study. Furthermore, the chromium ions adsorption and desorption from polluted soils were investigated and measured by atomic adsorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Thus, ecotoxicity testsof soil eluates from desorption experiments wereperformed with Brassica junceaand Helianthus annuus L.The resultsshowed that sample III had the highestCr content at916mgkg–1.The adsorption isotherm of Cr ions into soils followed Langmuir isotherm with the highest maximum adsorption capacity value at 14.286 mg kg-1in the sample point IV (unpolluted soil). The optimum desorption of chromium occurred at pH 3. Toxicity test showed that Cr ions had toxic effect to Brassica junceaand Helianthus annuus L.

Abstract

Sesquiterpenoid is a class of terpenoid compounds that have the most abundant diversity of structures and biological activitiesthat can be found in natural resources. Tropical plants are main source of sesquiterpenoid compounds such as Aglaiagenus belong to Meliaceae family. A. harmsianais a species from Aglaiathat only has few previous researchs.  Therefore, the purpose of this study was to isolate and determine the structure of sesquiterpenoid compounds from stem barkA. harmsianaalong withtheir cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The isolation process begins by extracting powder from A. harmsianastembark using n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol. All extracts were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells, and n-hexane extractsshowed significant cytotoxic activitywith IC50values of 117.86 µg/mL. Therefore, n-hexane extracts were further separated and purified by various chromatographic techniquesto obtain compounds 1and 2. Compounds 1and 2were elucidated their chemical structures by spectroscopic methods includingIR, NMR, and MS as well as bycomparison of data with literatures and identified ascaryophyllene-typesesquiterpenoids, β-caryophylleneoxide (1) and senecrassidiol (2). Compounds 1and 2were submitted for cytotoxic eveluation on MCF-7 breast cancer cells and as a result, β-caryophyllene oxide (1) showed the stronger activity compared to senecrassidiol (2). These finding indicatedthat the cytotoxic activity of caryophyllene-typesesquiterpenoid areinfluenced by the presence of double bonds and configuration of methyl groups.

Abstract

The leaves of Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. (Lamiaceae) is a perennial plant that contained flavonoids compounds with have antidiabetic properties. The aim of the work was to select the best solvent for extraction of the flavonoid compounds from torbangun leaves. A statistical simplex-centroid mixture design for the water, ethanol, and hexane solvents has been used to the extraction of extract yield, flavonoids content, and inhibitory α-glucosidase activity of torbangun leaves.  The ethanol-water extracts showed the highest extract yield with value of 15.92%. The ethanol-hexane extracts presented the highest total flavonoids content, 96.30 mg QE/g, followed by hexane extract (82.91 mg QE/g). The ethanol extract recorded higher inhibitory of α-glucosidase activity, with value of 25.53%, followed by hexane extract (25.21%), and ethanol-water extract (23.02%). The weak correlation between the α-glucosidase inhibition and total flavonoids content showed that flavonoids contribute non-significantly to the α-glucosidase activity.

Abstract

Apis dorsata Binghami is a Sulawesi endemic honey bee. Apis dorsata Binghami cannot be bred, so it still lives wildlyin the forests of Sulawesi. However, Apis dorsata Binghami produces more honey, compared to all honey bee species. Furthermore, the diversity of plants as a source of nectar, pollen and plant resin, which is used in the formation of nests and honey is more, than all types of honey bees in the world. Ethnomedically, the Minahasa community has long used honeynest for degenerative diseases such as hyperlipidemia and cancer. Nevertheless, there have been no research reports on bioactive content and bioactivity of Apis dorsataBinghami nest extract.  This research wasaimed to determinethe bioactive content of honey bee nest and to obtain the inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) antioxidant activity of honey bee nest extractofApis dorsata Binghami. Honey bee nest was obtained directly from the forest of Minahasa peninsula, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Extraction of fresh honey bee nest was conductedusingmaceration method. Bioactive content analysis was carried out by the Harborne method, followed by analysis using UV Vis spectrophotometer and High performance liquid chromatography. IC50antioxidant activity of honey bee nest extract was obtained using DPPH free radical reduction method. The results showed that Apis dorsata Binghami honey bee nest extract containedalkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids and triterpenoids. Identified flavonoids displayed the highest phytochemical content. Based on the results of HPLC and UV Vis spectrophotometer analysis, there were 20 flavonoid derivatives found in honey bee nest samples in Minahasa. Ethanol extract and n-hexane extract showed high free radical reduction activity compared to vitamin C as a control treatment. However, ethanol extract produced the highest DPPH free radical reduction activity.

Abstract

TiO2-CaO and TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 photocatalysts have been synthesized through the surfactant-assisted sol-gel method. The catalysts were characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-ED Sand BET surface area. XRD pattern showed the formation of anatase TiO2 crystal phase both in TiO2-CaO and TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3. The TiO2-CaO has higher crystallinity than TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3. Based on the peak refinement using Rietveld, there are two peaks identified as Fe2O3 hematite in the sample TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3.  BET surface area analysis showed that the average pore size of TiO2-CaO and TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 catalysts are 8.04 and 8.41 nm respectively, indicating both catalysts are mesoporous.FTIR spectra show that the vibration of Ti-O, Ca-O, and Ca-TiO2 were observed in both catalysts. SEM images confirm that both catalysts are porous material. The catechol removal using TiO2-CaO and TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 improved with the increase of catalyst concentration. After 360 minutes of UV radiation, the removal of catechol using TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 reached 46.0%, 48.3%, and 69.2%, while when using TiO2-CaO, it reached 22.1%, 36.8%, and 57.0% for 0.1 g, 0.15 g, and 0.2 g of catalysts, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 is not so strong compared to TiO2-CaO catalyst but the catechol adsorption property of TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 is higher than that of TiO2-CaO catalyst.
