Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2)-induced corrosion often occurs in the structural materials of geothermal industry. The presence of CO2 influences the formation of various corrosion products. This research investigates the effect of dissolved CO2 in acidic brines on the corrosion behavior of AISI 4140 steel at atmospheric pressure. The brines were the standard brine, Ca-free brine, and high-salinity brine. The corrosion behavior was studied using electrochemical and immersion tests. A cyclic polarization test showed that the corrosion rate was higher in dissolved CO2 brine than in non-CO2 brine, and an immersion test demonstrated a similar result. In the absence of CO2, the presence of Ca ions in the brine reduced the corrosion rate of the alloy from 26.8 to 24.6 mmpy and further to 20.7 mmpy in the high-salinity brine. A similar trend was demonstrated during immersion in the CO2-containing brine, with higher rates of 37.1, 30.9, and 24.9 mmpy for the Ca-free, standard, and high-salinity brines, respectively. However, the Ca ions and high-salinity brines induced a more localized corrosion as pit and filiform. A surface analysis using an optical microscope revealed that immersion in CO2 brines generated 4–10-fold higher surface roughness than the non-CO2 brines. In all specimens, a protective layer was not established during the tests. No new phase was detected using X-Ray diffractometer after the immersion test. Moreover, no tendency of passivation was observed in the reverse scan of the cyclic polarization test.

Abstract

Fungi endophytes are living microorganisms colonizing inside the internal tissue of a plant and provide ecological benefits for their host. Endophytes provide various metabolites for plant adaptation toward biotic and abiotic stresses and have tremendous pharmacological activities. Toona sureni (T. sureni) (Meliaceae) belongs to the Toona genera and is reported to have antimalarial activity. To determine the compounds produced by the endophytic fungus from this plant, we isolated a compound from Periconia pseudobyssoides (P. pseudobyssoides) K5 endophytes from the stem bark of T. sureni. Diketopiperazine cyclo-(S-Pro-R-Leu), a non-ribosomal peptide, was isolated from brown rice fermented at 28 ± 2 ℃ for 30 days. The structure was determined by spectroscopic methods including fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. This compound was evaluated for heme polymerization inhibition activity (HPIA) with an IC50 value of 9.89 ± 0.24 mmol/L compared with positive control chloroquine phosphate with an IC50 value of 3.08 ± 0.58 mmol/L. This compound has been categorized as having low activity three times lower than positive control chloroquine phosphate. This information provides new leads about the compound diketopiperazine cyclo-(S-Pro-R-Leu) produced by P. pseudobyssoides K5 endophytes having low activity in inhibiting heme polymerization. In the future, to explore the potency of this compound as antimalarial agent, the other antimalarial test such as lactate dehydrogenase assay might be useful.

Abstract

This study aims to manifest the effect of the active compound phlorotannins in brown algae on decreasing insulin resistance by analyzing the predicted interaction between phlorotannins and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP 1B) and estimating the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of the active compound for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) therapy. This type of research uses an in silico study to test the effect of using phlorotannins as an active compound in brown algae against PTP 1B inhibition. Starting from preparing materials, i.e., downloading the three-dimensional structure of phlorotannins via PubChem and PTP 1B via RSCB PDB (PDB 1A5Y), molecular docking using Molegro Virtual Docker 5, molecular visualization using PyMol and Discovery Studio, and predicting pharmacokinetics and toxicity via pkCSM have been conducted. Here, the phlorotannins include phloroglucinol, dioxinodehydroeckol, eckol, phlorofucofuroeckol-A, dieckol, 7-phloroeckol, and 6,6′-bieckol. In addition, Ertiprotafib and S-phosphocysteine are used here as the comparison controls for docking validation. All phlorotannins can bind to PTP 1B at the same binding site with drug control. Experimental results revealed that phlorotannins–PTP 1B produces lower energy than complex S-phosphocysteine–PTP 1B (−266.8 kJ/mol), which acts as a control here. However, phloroglucinol–PTP 1B produces (−208 kJ/mol) under the same condition. Compared with the drug control Ertiprotafib (−322.8 kJ/mol), the lower bond energy is owned by phlorofucofuroeckol-A (−370.6 kJ/mol), 7-phloroeckol (−328 kJ/mol), dieckol (−331.8 kJ/mol), and 6.6'-bieckol (−341 kJ/mol). Furthermore, phlorotannins are very well absorbed in the intestine. According to Lipinski’s rule, active compounds, such as phloroglucinol, eckol, and dioxinodehydroeckol have high potential as a drug. Phlorotannins are nontoxic against hepatocytes and have fewer side effects than drug control. Based on the obtained data, use of the active compound phlorotannins in brown algae can decrease insulin resistance, which can be employed as adjunctive therapy in type 2 DM.

Abstract

Three terpenoids, including two diterpenes (curcusone B and jatrophone) and a triterpene (stigmasterol) have been isolated from the stem bark of Jatropha plants. Curcusone B and stigmasterol were isolated from J. curcas, meanwhile jatrophone and stigmasterol were from J. gossypifolia. The biological activities of these compounds have been evaluated toward bacteria, fungi and tumour cells. Isolation was carried out in vacuum liqiud cromatography (VLC) technique with silica gel as an adsorben and some solvents as eluents. The compound structures were determined by spectroscopic methodes i.e. UV-vis, FTIR, NMR (1-D, 2-D) and were then compared based on their spectroscopic data with similiar data from literatures. The biological properties of these compounds were evaluated against four strains of bacteria (Acetobacter sp., Eschericia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus sp.), 4 strains of fungi (Aspergilus niger, Penicillium sp. (grey), Penicillium sp. (white) and Rhizopus sp.) and murine leukemia P-388 cells. The results showed that cytotoxic property of curcusone B towards murine leukemia P-388 cells is better than jatrophone and stigmasterol which are IC50 = 0.57 μg/mL (1.93 μM) for curcusone B and IC50 > 100 μg/mL for jatrophone and stigmasterol. Meanwhile, activities against bacteria, jatrophone is better than curcusone B and stigmasterol. Jatrophone is the most active against S. aureus (bacteria) with growth inhibition zone 36 mm and A.niger (fungi) is 44 mm. Further study indicated that jatrophone was bacteriostatic against S. aureus.

Abstract

The effects of dietary food fortified with orotic acid (1.0%) on liver function were studied in rats. The rats fed with orotic acid promoted liver triglyceride content markedly, that was 5-fold higher than that of the control. The liver malondialdehyde (MDA) content increased by 10%, but the gluthation peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity decreased by 50%. The serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities increased by 25% and 30%, respectively. Therefore, the decreased GSH-Px activity was associated with the promotions of AST, ALT, and the liver MDA levels. In conclusion: dietary orotic acid promotes lipid peroxidation but reduces the rate of the antioxidant enzyme. Therefore, dietary food fortified with orotic acid attenuates the liver function.

Abstract

Three types of cyclopentanone derivatives have been synthesized from aromatic aldehyde and ketone derivatives under a base condition through aldol condensation. These cyclopentanone products were 2,5-dibenzylidene-cyclopentanone (a), 2,5-bis-(4-hydroxy-benzylidene)-cyclopentanone (b), and 2,5-bis-(4-hydroxy-benzylidene)-cyclopentanone (c) which has a yield of 63-99%. The chemical structure of these compounds were determined using UV, IR and NMR spectroscopy. In order to clarify the role of hydroxyl and amine moieties, toxic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were carried out. The toxic test indicated that the compounds showed strong toxicity. In addition, the presence of hydroxyl and amine groups on both rings of curcumin increased the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract

CuO/TS-1 catalysts have been prepared and tested in the benzene hydroxylation. TS-1 was synthesized by hydrothermal method, while CuO/TS-1 was prepared by impregnation method using Cu(NO)2.3H2O as precursor. Catalysts were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. The catalytic activity was tested in the hydroxylation reaction of benzene. The products were analyzed using gas chromatography. Catalyst characterization by XRD and IR techniques have showed that the catalyst structure was a MFI type of zeolite. XRD pattern have showed the orthorombic structure and indicated the presence of CuO aggregation. The results of the pyridine adsorption have found that the acidity of TS-1 and CuO/TS-1 were a Lewis acid and it’s increased with an increasing amount of CuO loading. The results of nitrogen adsorption analysis have showed decreasing of surface areas of catalyst with increasing amount of CuO loading. The optimum conditions of benzene hydroxylation was observed by 1%CuO/TS-1 catalyst at 70 °C, reaction time 2 h and acetic acid as the solvent yielded 27.6% of phenol with phenol selectivity was 75.5%
