Abstract

Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic country, providing abundant biodiversity potential. The rapid development of chemistry, phytochemistry, and pharmacology has increased the research and application of various plants in the health sector. Phytopharmaca is a standardized herbal medicine that has proven its efficacy through clinical trials. Various types of marine biota that are easy to find have been proven to contain bioactive compounds that can potentially develop phytopharmaceuticals based on biological resources. The development of phytopharmaceuticals made from marine plant raw materials has yet to be widely developed. Limiting factors often found are references to pharmaceutical standardization and the required research funding. However, this does not rule out the possibility of realizing phytopharmaceutical products from marine plants that meet standards and clinical trials. Therefore, the aim of the explanation regarding research, types, and potential of marine biological resources in phytopharmaceuticals is to provide information and learning media.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems protect small islands and provide economic and social benefits to the community. Among the small islands in Indonesia with mangroves at its shorelines is Tunda Island, located in Serang District, Banten Province. However, various threats, such as shipping industrial waste and climate change, have caused the mangroves of Tunda Island to decline. This study aims to describe the condition of mangroves on Tunda Island, assess the local community's perception level of mangrove management, and formulate a strategy for managing the mangrove ecosystem on this island. This research was conducted on Tunda Island, Banten Province in January 2022. Mangrove ecological data were collected at four stations using purposive sampling, and questionnaires were distributed to collect community social data from 95 respondents. Mangrove health was analyzed using the Mangrove Health Index (MHI), while community social data were analyzed using the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis and the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). Results showed that the mangroves fall into the category of poor, with an MHI of 14.75% on the north side; poor with 17.16% on the west side; moderate with 51.07% on the south side; and moderate with 65.89% on the east side of the island. The level of community perception of Tunda Island mangrove management is 60.66%, which implies a positive perception, and that the people of Tunda Island have an adequate understanding of the role of the mangrove ecosystem. The priority management strategy is to empower the community in the accelerated program to rehabilitate sustainable mangrove ecosystems by providing equal opportunities and rights for the community.

Abstract

α-amylase has a pivotal role in catalyzing the cleavage of α-1,4-glycosidic bonds of polysaccharides to produce oligosaccharides. The inhibition of α-amylase delays the breakdown of carbohydrates, causing a reduction of blood glucose levels absorption in diabetes patients. The exploration of α-amylase inhibitors has attracted because society assumed that utilizing herbal medicine reduced the side effect of prescribed drugs. Mangrove from genus Ceriops have been used as antidiabetic, but the mechanism as α-amylase inhibitors has not been reported. Consumption of leaves extract of C.decandra reduced blood glucose level in diabetic rats, and triterpenoids have been identified from the leaves. With this in mind, this study aims to predict the molecular interactions between α-amylase (PDB ID: 4GQR) and the inhibitors, triterpenoid identified in C.decandra leaves, and to evaluate the potency of triterpenoid as α-amylase inhibitor. There are five triterpenoids identified in C.decandra leaves used as ligand tests, including lupenone, betulin, betulonic acid, betulinic acid, and lupeol. The descriptive method was applied in this investigation. This study was carried out from June to September 2022. Based on the molecular interactions, the binding affinity of triterpenoids was lower than the native ligand and control ligand. Lupenone, lupeol, betalonic acid, and betulinic acid inhibited α-amylase activity by non-competitive inhibition. It was predicted that betulin inhibited α-amylase activity through competitive inhibition.
