Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), harmful agents such as Bacillus cereus and Listeria monocytogenes are responsible for 600 million cases of disease and 420,000 deaths annually. This research aims to test the effectiveness of the real-time PCR method for developing a prototype kit to detect pathogenic bacteria in processed meat. As a comparison, the and conventional PCR methods were used to obtain the accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and effectiveness of the real-time PCR method. All the samples were cultured in solid media agar, performed amplification using specific primers cyt-K 2 and hly using PCR and real-time PCR. Meatballs, nuggets, and sausages, five samples each, were found to be positive positively contaminated with all targeted bacteria. However, they did not provide specific results using solid media culture and the PCR method. In addition, the real-time PCR method using prototype kit formulas accomplished that all contaminated samples had a Ct value smaller than the negative control, NTC (No Template Control), and had a similar melting curve to the positive control. This establishes that the real-time PCR method clarifies that all samples were contaminated with target bacteria. A formula was developed in the prototype kit with real-time PCR methods that can be used and applied on a commercial scale efficiently and precisely.

Abstract

Coronaviruses have been known since 2002 in the case of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic, is believed to be an evolution of the SARS-causing coronavirus (SARS-CoV). This evolution shows the complex interaction dynamics between the virus and the host, which have characterized the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 strain variations until now. Therefore, the search for these antiviral drugs is still critical. MPro is one of the important proteins for the life cycle of pathogenic coronaviruses, so it is an attractive target for developing drugs that inhibit this virus. This study examined the interaction of teicoplanin derivatives and vancomycin as SARS-CoV-2 MPro (6LU7) inhibitors through molecular docking with Autodock Vina. The smallest RMSD value was selected and stored to calculate the energy value. The image of atoms in the ligand and receptor was processed with Autodock Tools, LigPlus, and PyMOL. The study showed that teicoplanin derivatives such as teicoplanin aglycone, teicoplanin-A3-1, and vancomycin had the potential as SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors. Based on the interaction at the active site and the obtained ΔG values, even the teicoplanin aglycon had a more significant inhibitory potential than other potent inhibitors such as N3.

Abstract

Naphthol Blue Black (NBB) is a water-insoluble synthetic azo dye with a molecular weight of 616.49 g/mol that requires alkaline treatment for solubility and poses environmental risks by reducing water quality, increasing BOD and COD, and disrupting aquatic ecosystems. The TiO₂/Zeolite Fly Ash nanocomposite represents a promising material for the photocatalytic degradation of NBB. Analysis of the TiO2/zeolite fly ash nanocomposites revealed the presence of Ti-O-Si and Ti-O-Al functional groups, along with a suitable band gap energy value of 2.85 eV for visible light consumption. The average particle size is 62-75 nm, with a relatively high crystallinity of 95.64%. The insertion of TiO2 into the surface of the zeolite changes the size of the catalyst from 62-75 nm to 10 nm and 98.2% crystallinity. An emphasis was placed on the key parameters governing the degradation process. The test results showed that the degree of degradation increases at lower pH, while changes in catalyst dosage and initial dye concentrations do not significantly affect the degradation of NBB. The addition of H2O2 demonstrates the increasing degradation efficiency. The optimum operating process was carried out by adding 1.2 % (v/v) of H2O2, the pH 2, 0.1% (w/v) of catalyst, an initial concentration NBB of 12 mg/l, and irradiating under visible light for 75 minutes. It was a short period to produce the best conditions for degrading 12 mg/l naphthol blue-black, with a degradation efficiency of 99.68%. The rate of photodegradation kinetics had a reaction rate constant of 0.0312 min-1 and was followed a pseudo-first-order Langmuir-Hinshelwood.  From the results, it was found that adsorption is an essential factor in the photodegradability of the dye. The linear transform of the Langmuir isotherm curve was further used to determine the characteristic parameters, which included the maximum absorbable dye quantity Qmax=11,8217 mgg-1. LC-MS/MS analysis identified the compounds formed through the photocatalytic degradation of naphthol blue-black dye into lower-molecular-weight molecules, such as benzoic acid, maleic acid, and phenol, which can gradually break down naturally into carbon dioxide and water.

Abstract

Chitosan is a material that has antibacterial properties. Chitosan was modified with cinnamaldehyde to form chitosan Schiff base, which acts as a capping agent in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The Schiff base product was modified again into a silver nanoparticle Schiff base composite to improve its ability as a capping agent and improve its antibacterial properties. This study aims to synthesize a chitosan-cinnamaldehyde/AgNP Schiff base composite (CCSB/AgNP) as an active ingredient with excellent antibacterial properties. The first stage was the synthesis of a chitosan-cinnamaldehyde Schiff base. In the second stage, the synthesis of the chitosan/AgNP composite was carried out by adding STPP with sonication and a water bath. The third stage involved synthesizing of the CCSB/AgNP composite using the same method as the second stage employing both heating and non-heating as well as sonication and non-sonication. The product was characterized using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FT-IR, SEM-EDX, mapping, and AAS. Antibacterial tests were performed on the synthesized product using the Total Plate Count (TPC) method. Chitosan has a molecular weight of 338080 g/mol and a degree of deacetylation of 65.09%. The Schiff base product of chitosan-cinnamaldehyde is a brownish-yellow solid with a yield of 76.9% (w/w) and a degree of substitution of 87.02%. The presence of Ag was confirmed by EDX mapping, which revealed mass percentages of 0.26%, 1.00%, and 3.97% for C/AgNP-1, C/AgNP-2, and CCSB/AgNP-2, respectively. The chitosan/AgNP product has a yield of 97% (w/w) and an SPR effect at 439 nm. The synthesis of CCSB/AgNP obtained a dark green solid with a yield of 87% (w/w) and an SPR effect at 433 nm. The antibacterial activity test yielded the highest percentage reduction in the number of bacteria in CCSB/AgNP at 3 days of observation at 95.1%, and 7 days at 94.1%.

Abstract

Non-edible oil, such as Jatropha oil, is an interesting feedstock for the development of renewable diesel (green diesel). Catalytic deoxygenation using natural zeolite-supported Mo-based catalysts is a promising process for the conversion of Jatropha oil to green diesel. Mo and MoP catalysts supported on natural zeolite were synthesized by wet impregnation at a concentration of 5% (w/w). The catalysts were characterized by XRD, XRF, SAA and NH3-TPD. The catalysts were successfully synthesized with the appearance of Mo and MoP peaks on the catalyst diffractogram. XRF results also showed that Mo and P were present in the catalyst. Metal impregnation decreased the surface area and pore volume of the catalyst, but increased the average pore diameter. The NH3-TPD profile of the catalyst showed that the weak acid sites of both catalysts were larger than the strong acid sites. Based on the activity test of catalytic deoxygenation of Jatropha oil, the MoP/HZ catalyst produced a higher conversion (67%) and liquid product yield (79%) than Mo/HZ. This is associated with a larger pore diameter, so that the distribution of reactants on the catalyst surface is more optimal. However, the highest green diesel selectivity of 82% is produced by the Mo/HZ catalyst. The Mo/HZ catalyst is more oriented towards the HDO reaction, whereas the MoP/HZ catalyst is more oriented towards the DCO/DCO2 reaction.

Abstract

The chemicals produced from thiourea are actively being studied as anticancer possibilities. In complexes with radionuclides like Iodine-131, the 1-(4-Fluorobenzoyl)-3-methyl thiourea is a promising ligand for theragnostic applications. This study aimed to label 1-(4-fluorobenzoyl-3-methylthiourea) with iodine-131 and observe its interaction with breast cancer receptors. The radiolabeling of 131I-(4-fluorobenzoyl-3-methylthiourea) uses the radioiodination method with Chloramine-T, and an in-silico investigation of breast cancer receptors was conducted. According to the results of molecular docking using AutoDockTools, this radiopharmaceutical molecule has the best activity on the HER2 receptor (PDB ID: 3PP0) compared to the native ligand and control positive, with a binding affinity of -6.13 kcal/mol and a Ki value of 32.05 mM. According to the molecular dynamics data using Desmond, the radiopharmaceutical molecule 131I-(4-Fluorobenzoyl-3-methylthiourea) displays good stability starting from the 50ns range. The indirect radioiodination method has successfully labeled 1-(4-Fluorobenzoyl-3-methylthiourea) with iodine-131.

Abstract

Liver cancer is a serious health concern characterized by abnormal cell growth, but currently, available treatment options are limited, suggesting the need for a new therapeutic method. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the potential of chemical compounds obtained from the cangkring plant (Erythrina fusca) as anti-liver cancer agents targeting Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). The investigation was conducted in silico through molecular docking and dynamic method. Molecular docking was performed using AutoDock Tools, followed by visualization with Biovia Discovery Studio. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulation was conducted using GROMACS software and visualized with Grace. A total of 36 chemical compounds from E. fusca were used as ligands for molecular docking. The results showed that Isobavachalcone (ISB) was the most effective test compound with a binding energy of -11.45 kcal/mol, compared to the positive control Sorafenib with a value of - 11.51 kcal/mol. In this context, hydrogen bonding, as well as hydrophobic, electrostatic, and unfavorable molecular interactions were identified. Moreover, molecular dynamics simulation provided RMSD, RMSF, Radius of Gyration (Rg), and hydrogen bond parameters. Analysis of these parameters further confirmed the superior stability of ISB in binding to VEGFR-2, suggesting the potential to suppress angiogenesis by blocking the receptor.

Abstract

High consumption of coal as a source of electrical energy in Indonesia has resulted in piles of waste from coal burning, namely fly ash, which can damage the environment and harm health. Fly ash contains main oxides, namely silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3), whose components are similar to zeolite, so they can be synthesized into zeolite-like material (ZLM) which can be used as an adsorbent for heavy metal Ni2+. Therefore, this research discussed the characterization of manganese-oxide-coated-zeolite (MOCZ) from fly ash waste as a heavy metal adsorbent. The research procedure consisted of preparation, purification, and activation stage of fly ash to obtain fly ash that is free from impurities, the stage of making sodium silicate and sodium aluminate, and zeolite synthesis. The resulting zeolite was then coated with manganese oxide to expand the surface area of the zeolite and increase the ability of zeolite to adsorb heavy metal Ni2+. The research results showed that fly ash waste that was coated with manganese oxide can adsorb heavy metal Ni2+. The adsorption of the Ni2+ metal ion solution by zeolite with MOCZ modification is in line with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm.

Abstract

The ability of inorganic antibacterial agents like metal oxides and nanoscale inorganic materials to inhibit bacterial growth rates has yet to receive much research attention. In this study, CaCO3-ZnO/Y-zeolite nanocomposites were created utilizing coprecipitation and impregnation techniques with Ca(CH3COO)2, Zn(CH3COO)2 2H2O, Y-zeolite precursors. Physical and chemical characteristics of nanocomposites have been investigated using XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDX characterizations. The agar-well diffusion method tested the substance for antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Nanocomposites have a crystal size range of 35.46-36.53 nm and a crystallinity of 35-37 %, according to the results of XRD analysis. The carbonate groups are visible in FTIR data at wave numbers 1433, 875, and 712 cm-1. The Zn-O absorption band was verified at wave numbers 600-400 cm-1. The Y-zeolite absorption bands at wave numbers 1012-997 cm-1 and 745-746 cm-1 were confirmed. The particle morphology is cube-shaped with irregular sizes. The EDX result showed that the composition consists of 35.92 % calcium, 1.68 % zinc, 44.81 % oxygen, and 13.79 % carbon as elements. With the addition of 2.5 % Y-zeolite, the antibacterial activity of nanocomposites showed the best results, with an inhibition zone diameter of 7.62 mm against Escherichia coli and 6.56 mm against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.

Abstract

Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from marine animal shell waste that exhibits numerous pharmacological activities. However, its high molecular weight limits the application in various fields due to its low solubility. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize low molecular weight chitosan using varying water content and doses of gamma irradiation. To initiate chitosan degradation, H2O (5 and 10 mL) was added, followed by gamma ray irradiation at doses of 5 and 10 kGy. The Molecular Weight (MW) of degraded chitosan was determined using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), while Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to characterize the functional groups and degree of deacetylation of chitosan. The study found that the molecular weight of irradiated chitosan decreased as the irradiation dose and H2O addition increased. The addition of 10 mL of water and gamma irradiation at a dose of 10 kGy has been found to reduce the molecular weight of chitosan to 118 kDa, with a high deacetylation degree of 86.78%. The FTIR analysis showed no significant changes in the functional groups, indicating that gamma irradiation did not affect the structure of chitosan.
