Abstract

This research aimed to ascertain the impact of alkaline lignin of teak sawdust on the synthesis of ligninase and decolorization of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) by M. thermophilia KLUM1, also to elucidate the mechanism of mycoremediation. This research was conducted within the cultivation of the spore suspension in a co-culture setting. The RB5 dye percentage decolorization and ligninase activity were produced by varying the addition of alkaline lignin. The results show that the addition of 0.5% alkaline lignin accelerates the production of ligninase in the Kirk medium. However, adding more than 0.5% alkaline lignin does not affect the highest amount of ligninase produced. The increase in RB5 dye decolorization by M. thermophila KLUM1 is proportional to the increase in alkaline lignin in the medium. The percentage of wood-rot fungi decolorization in Kirk medium with and without lignin with the addition of 0.5%, 1%, and 2% lignin on the 10th day was 26.29%, 29.51%, 34.74%, and 40.43%, respectively. The decolorization process of RB5 by M. thermophilia KLUM1 in Kirk medium with alkaline lignin occurs through several mechanisms, i.e., enzymatic degradation, adsorption by the growing mycelia, and alkaline lignin present in the medium.

Abstract

Puntang Arabica Coffee is one of the famous Indonesian coffees from West Java. This coffee is cultivated in the area of Mount Puntang, Bandung Regency. This study evaluated green beans of Puntang Arabica coffee obtained from different cultivating locations, including Cimulek, Cimenong, Ganda Paraja, and Nameur, with 1H NMR-based metabolomics. The green coffee bean samples were ground, extracted with D2O, and then measured with NMR spectroscopy. The obtained 1H NMR spectra were processed and evaluated by multivariate data analysis techniques using Orthogonal Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis (OPLSDA) as the main model. In total, 20 metabolites were successfully identified in the 1H NMR spectra of Puntang coffees. Based on multivariate analysis, Cimulek and Cimenong coffee regions possessed similar metabolite profiles possibly due to being in proximity. Trigonelline, 5-chlorogenic acid, and citric acid were detected as the discriminant compounds for Cimulek and Cimenong coffees, whereas lactic acid, lipids, and stearic acid were associated with Ganda Paraja coffee. Meanwhile, GABA was detected constantly as the characteristic compound of Nameur coffee. This report revealed the metabolite profile of Puntang Arabica coffees for the first time and provided scientific information for the development of coffee plantations.

Abstract

Endophytic bacteria, symbiotic microorganisms residing in plant tissues, produce bioactive compounds similar to host plants, such as antioxidants. These antioxidants are crucial in combating free radicals linked to degenerative diseases. This study isolates and characterizes two endophytic bacterial strains from papaya leaves, exploring their enzymatic and antioxidant activities. Two isolates of endophytic bacteria from papaya leaves were obtained, F1-A and F1-B. F1-A endophytic bacteria are types of monobacilli, Gram-positive bacteria. F1-B endophytic bacteria are types of Bacilli. Using 16S rRNA analysis, both isolates were predicted to belong to the Pseudomonas bacterial strain. Research on optimizing their growth under various temperatures and pH conditions showed that both isolates grow best at 37°C. F1-B provides a better opportunity as a source of industrial enzymes because it can excrete amylase, urease, cellulose, and protease enzymes compared to F1-A, which can only produce amylase and protease enzymes. Nevertheless, F1-A can act as a potent antioxidant with an IC50 of 34.18 ppm compared to F1-B, which has an IC50 value of 292.31 ppm. The IC50 value of the F1-A isolate was not much different from the IC50 of quercetin, which was 12.50 ppm. The ability of F1-A as an antioxidant is also influenced by the results of phytochemical screening, which can contain more secondary metabolites than F1-B. These results highlight the potential of Pseudomonas strains as sources of industrial enzymes and natural antioxidants, warranting further investigation.

Abstract

Calcium carbonate derived from eggshells has significant potential for use in drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical, food, catalyst, cement, and concrete industries. Although eggshell waste is non-toxic, its excessive accumulation in the environment may contribute to ecological issues. Colonizing pathogenic bacteria in unprocessed eggshell waste poses a potential health risk. The present study outlines the production of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) from eggshell waste through a calcination-carbonation process, offering a sustainable approach to its utilization. The calcination was carried out at 900 ºC. The carbonation process was performed in an HNO3 solution, and the NH3 solution was under-treated for 60 minutes. The results exhibited that the precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) had a purity of 95.2% CaO. It possessed predominantly the calcite phase with a rhombohedral crystal system, as confirmed by the XRD analysis. The crystallite size of PCC was 109.5 nm, measured using the Debye-Scherrer equation. The phase composition of PCC was 99.3% calcite, 0.5% vaterite, and 0.2% aragonite. FTIR analysis further corroborated this data by showing a sharp and unsplit peak at 1419 cm-1, demonstrating the presence of a calcite phase. SEM images revealed a cubic-like morphology, a characteristic of the calcite form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The synthesized calcium carbonate in this study holds potential for applications in dental materials and as fillers in polymer matrices for food packaging.

Abstract

Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor (PPAR-γ) protein is one of the target proteins for insulin sensitivity therapy in Type 2 DM. PPAR-γ has a key role as a nuclear receptor that regulates the expression of several metabolism-related genes. This research aims to   synthesize a novel   benzenesulfonylurea-substituted   pyridazinone     derivative, namely (E)-N'-(1-(4-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)- yl)phenyl)ethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonohydrazide (8) and predicted it activity as the PPAR-γ agonist using a molecular docking approach and ADMET profiles. The compound 8 was obtained through a Schiff base condensation reaction between compound 6, p-tosyl hydrazine, and a glacial acetic acid catalyst using monowave. The purity of the compound was determined by TLC test, and melting point measurement. The structure was confirmed through FTIR, 1H-NMR, C-NMR and HRMS analysis. Molecular docking studies were carried out on the crystal structure of the human PPAR-γ Ligand Binding Domain target protein in complex with the α-aryloxyphenyl acetic acid agonist (PDB ID 1ZEO). The results of the docking show that compound 8 has a lower binding free energy than rosiglitazone (positive control) with a free energy value (S score) = -13.513 kcal/mol and -8.3089 kcal/mol, respectively. Compound 8 can form two hydrogen bonds with residues His323 and Ser289, π-π interactions with Phe363 and π-H interactions with Cys285.  The interactions are similar to the interaction between the native ligand agonists α-aryloxyphenyl acetic acid and rosiglitazone with the target protein. Furthermore, compound 8 is predicted to have a moderate ADME profile. The results support that compound 8 can be developed as a PPAR-γ agonist candidate for the antidiabetic therapeutic agent.

Abstract

Sirih merah leaf (Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav) is a natural material that has the potential to be used as a natural antibacterial agent in treating dental caries caused by Streptococcus mutans because it is known to contain secondary metabolite compounds that have antibacterial properties that can inhibit the activity of glucosyltransferase and glucan-binding protein (Gbp) enzymes produced by S. mutans. This study was conducted to determine the antibacterial activity of Sirih merah leaf extract against S. mutans using the Kirby-Bauer method and to predict the potential molecular activity of antibacterial compounds contained in Sirih merah leaves in inhibiting the growth of S. mutans bacteria in silico using the molecular docking method. Antibacterial activity testing of Sirih merah leaf extract fractions obtained from methanol extract showed that fractions 7 and 10 are active fractions because they can inhibit the growth of S. mutans at the highest concentration of 10% with a strong inhibition zone category. The active fractions were then analyzed by the LC-HRMS method to obtain active compounds. The results of the in silico molecular docking test showed that the active compounds of Sirih merah leaves have the potential to interact with the GtfB and GbpC enzymes of S. mutans, where the best binding energy in the interaction of cafedrine compounds is -8.75 kcal/mol and -9.27 kcal/mol. The docking results were validated through a molecular docking process using native ligands with RMSD values of 1,861 Å and 3,170 Å.

Abstract

This study assesses the sources, transport, and distribution of macronutrients, including nitrate, nitrite, silicate, and phosphate, starting from the upper stream of the Bengkulu River, which is the biggest river in Bengkulu Province, to the coastal seawater of the eastern tropical Indian Ocean. The sampling was conducted using an acid-washed polypropylene beaker and placed in acid-cleaned 5 L polyethylene containers during the dry season in July 2024. The water samples were collected from the surface waters of 15 stations. The macronutrients in the water samples were determined using a spectrophotometer UV-Vis following the Strickland and Parsons method. Macronutrient analysis was conducted in LATERIO BRIN, Jakarta, Indonesia. The concentration of analysed macronutrients ranged from 0.005 - 0.058 mgN-NO3/L for nitrate, <0.001 - 0.014 mgN-NO2/L for nitrite, 0.163 - 9.314 mgSi-Si(OH)4/L for silicate, and 0.01 - 0.085 mgP-PO4-/L for phosphate. Several stations, including Stations 6, 10, and 14, exhibited relatively elevated nitrate concentrations, which were further supported by similarly high phosphate levels. Stations 6, 10, and 14, situated near areas of intense anthropogenic activity in Bengkulu City, suggest that human-induced inputs have enriched the water environment with macronutrients. The highest silicate concentration was observed at Station 1, located upstream in the Bengkulu River. This aligns with previous findings and underscores the role of weathering processes in controlling silicate distribution. Compared to the macronutrient concentration guidelines for river water set by Indonesian Government Regulation 2021 No. 22, the nitrite concentrations at certain river stations exceeded the safety threshold for aquatic biota. In contrast, nitrate and phosphate levels remained within the safe range.

Abstract

COVID-19 remains a major global health threat. In addition to implementing health protocols and consuming supplements, proactive prevention strategies are essential to limit the spread of the virus. One of the most promising approaches is the use of vaccines, particularly peptide-based vaccines, which are under active development. This study aimed to design a peptide vaccine derived from the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) and evaluate its interaction with key components of the human immune system, namely Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I), and class II (MHC-II). The research employed an immunoinformatics approach utilizing NetCTL, IEDB Tepitool, PEP-FOLD3, trRosetta, HDOCK, GalaxyRefine2, and other molecular modeling tools. The designed vaccine construct was visualized in 3D using trRosetta and validated through ERRAT2, achieving a 100% quality score, indicating excellent structural integrity. The docking simulations demonstrated stable interactions between the vaccine and the immune receptors, suggesting strong immunogenic potential. In conclusion, the in silico-designed peptide vaccine based on SARS-CoV-2 PLpro shows promise in triggering immune responses through stable binding with TLR3, MHC-I, and MHC-II, highlighting its potential as a candidate for further experimental validation in COVID-19 vaccine development.

Abstract

Justicia gendarussa is known to have antioxidant and antidiabetic properties, which are related to the composition and concentration of its metabolites and influenced by differences in growth location. This study aims to evaluate changes in metabolite profiles and biological activities, such as the inhibition of α-glucosidase and free radical scavenging in J. gendarussa genotypes from Bogor, Cianjur, and Sukabumi. Changes in metabolite profiles were assessed using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) fingerprint analysis combined with principal component analysis (PCA). Bioautography TLC using DPPH was performed to confirm the presence of antioxidant compounds. In the TLC fingerprint analysis of J. gendarussa, we obtained 14 bands with good resolution. PCA successfully grouped J. gendarussa extracts based on growth location. The percentage of α-glucosidase inhibitory and free radical scavenging activity was significantly different, with the highest percentage of inhibition of α-glucosidase shown by the IIIS genotype (99.23%) and the highest free radical scavenging (91.35%) demonstrated by the IIB genotype. The results of TLC bioautography confirmed the presence of antioxidant compounds in J. gendarussa represented by bands with Rf 0.04, 0.32, and 0.80. This study concludes that growth location differences influence the variations in metabolite profiles, α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, and free radical scavenging activity of J. gendarussa genotypes.
