Abstract

Rare earth elements (REEs) are garnering significant attention in diverse fields due to their important and fascinating properties. Among these REEs, samarium (Sm) has numerous advantages and benefits. Before using Sm, it must be separated from its natural sources due to the formation of complex compounds with other elements. To achieve this, liquid-liquid extraction emerges as one of the REE separation methods, presenting several advantages, including a streamlined process. Various methods can be used to analyze extraction results, such as ICP-MS and XRF. In comparison, UV-Vis spectrophotometry has significant advantages compared to other methods, it provides a simple approach to determining the level of a substance, and the results given are quite accurate, while differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) is one of the electrochemical analysis methods that is expected to provide faster and accurate analysis results. This study aims to determine the value of analytical parameters, Kd of Sm(III) liquid-liquid extraction results using DPV analysis and UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods. The DPV method yielded LoD 1.24 mg/L,  accuracy 98.39%, and %recovery 106.69%. The extraction data obtained Kd Sm values ranging from 6.0019-7.3860. The UV-Vis spectrophotometry results provided an individual extraction efficiency of Sm(III) of 88.54%. This method obtained LoD 0.71 mg/L, accuracy 96.00%, and %recovery 104.00%.

Abstract

Glucose oxidase (GOX) from Aspergillus niger catalyzes the oxidation of β-D-glucose to δ-gluconolactone and hydrogen peroxide, making it valuable for industrial applications. Intracellular GOX exhibits higher activity than its extracellular counterpart. This study focuses on enhancing the extracellular production of GOX through recombinant DNA technology. This study aimed to reconstruct the GOX gene by adding XhoI sites at both ends, inserting a glu-ala-glu-ala spacer at the 5' end, and introducing an XbaI site at the 3' end. These modifications facilitate the cloning of the GOX-Xho gene into the pTA2 vector and its subsequent ligation into the pPICZαB expression vector, allowing for extracellular production of GOX through fusion with the α-mating factor (α-MF) signal peptide. The GOX-Xho gene was successfully amplified, cloned, and characterized. The pTA2-GOX-Xho recombinant plasmid was verified through sequencing and restriction analysis, confirming the present and correct orientation of the 1797 bp GOX-Xho gene. However, sequencing revealed several point mutations, necessitating further computational analysis to predict their impact on the enzyme's structure and function before recombinant protein expression.

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by acetylcholine hydrolysis that impairs cognitive brain function. This research aims to determine the interaction and dynamic of ligands from Moringa oleifera on AChE through Lipinski's Rule, ADMET properties, molecular docking calculations, and molecular dynamic simulations. Lipinski's Rule calculation provided ligand limits that adhere to druglikeness properties. ADMET results also showed that several ligands satisfy ADMET properties. Pterygospermine has lower binding energy than the ligand control (-10.28 kcal mol-1) with amino acid residues of TYR133 and GLU202. It indicates a favorable interaction between the AChE receptor and ligand in the inhibition process. Based on molecular docking calculations, pterygospermine inhibits the AChE receptor at the Long, narrow aromatic gorge active site. According to molecular dynamic simulations, the MMPBSA energy for pterygospermine is 37.377 kJ mol-1. The samples showed a total average RMSD of 2 Å, suggesting no significant conformational changes throughout the simulation. The sample's average RMSF value is around 2 Å, suggesting favorable interactions with the receptor during simulation. However, this data is different from the ligand control interaction mode. Molecular dynamic investigations of the pterygospermine ligand in the complex revealed the stability and unfolded effect on the protein. The results of this study propose a candidate anti-Alzheimer's ligand from Moringa oleifera against the AChE receptor. In practice, these results can contribute to research studies exploring natural ingredients from plants with medicinal potential in drug discovery. These results can be validated using further research in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract

Indonesia is highly susceptible to earthquakes, with the southern and western coasts of Java and Sumatra being the most vulnerable regions. Due to this vulnerability, it is necessary to establish a culture of disaster mitigation in the most fertile and heavily populated islands to reduce the number of fatalities and economic losses caused by earthquakes. One of the promising real-world seismic base isolation methods is using a rubber seismic bearing constructed of rubber and metal layers. This study aimed to examine the typical behavior of natural rubber compounds subjected to various sulfur-curing processes as basic designs in the manufacture of rubber seismic bearings. The experiment was carried out by arranging the sulfur curing system into three categories, namely an efficient which applied N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfonamide (CBS)/Sulfur (S) ratio as 1.4/0.15 and 1.4/0.25, semi-efficient with CBS/S ratio of 1.4/1.4 and 1.4/1.7, and conventional with CBS/S ratio of 1.4/3.0 and 1.4/3.5. The results showed that the ideal modification condition for NR macromolecule chain found in seismic-bearing rubber compound was a semi-efficient sulfur curing system with a CBS/S ratio of 1.4/1.4. It suggested that a semi-efficient sulfur curing system was appropriate for developing rubber compound formulation for seismic rubber bearings, mainly for low-damping types.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a sensitive and selective nonenzymatic electrochemical sensor for glucose detection using a glassy carbon electrode modified with platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) decorated on reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The structural properties and surface morphology of PtNPs/RGO composite were characterized using Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques were employed to investigate glucose measurements in human urine samples. The developed sensor shows an increasing anodic peak of glucose with a linear response at a concentration range from 10 to 1000 µM, with a detection limit of 5 µM. The proposed sensor also demonstrated good reproducibility, indicated by the value of relative standard deviation (%RSD) of 3.9%, and maintained its current response over seven consecutive measurements. Moreover, the proposed sensor exhibited high selectivity for glucose detection against several potential interferences, such as potassium (K+), chloride (Cl−), magnesium (Mg2+), ascorbic acid, dopamine, and urea, with recovery values of 96-102%, which are acceptable within the analytical range. Furthermore, this proposed sensor successfully detected glucose in human urine samples, and their concentrations were not significantly different when measured with a commercial glucose sensor.

Abstract

A new series of fused [1,2,4]Triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole 4a-4e have been synthesized by many steps. Firstly, benzohydrazide [1] has been synthesized from the reaction of methyl benzoate with hydrazine hydrate. Secondly, the cyclization reaction of benzohydrazide with carbon disulfide in the presence of potassium hydroxide produced 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol[2]. Thirdly,5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol[2] was treated with potassium hydroxide using pyridine to give 4-amino-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol. Finally, the fused [1,2,4]Triazolo[3,4-B][1,3,4]Thiadiazole 4a-4e   were synthesized from the reaction of 4-amino-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol[3], with various aromatic aldehydes. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed based on spectral studies. The new novel compounds exhibited anticancer activity docking with C-Met tyrosin kinase receptor as shown by their docking scores ranging between -3.506 to -4.468 Kcal/mol as compared to standard crizotinib binding affinity is to -3.211Kcal/mol for anticancer efficiency. The newly synthesized triazole thiadiazole derivatives were evaluated for their in-vitro cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines. It was found that compounds 4b and 4c showed higher cytotoxicity against the MCF-7 cell line and no cytotoxic effect on normal cell line HdFn.

Abstract

A simple, portable visible reflectance spectrophotometer was developed for classifying the quality of Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. The device was assembled using consumer electronic components: an LED as the light source, a DVD optical layer as the diffraction grating, and a webcam as the detector, with web-based software (Spectral Workbench) as the signal processor. The spectrophotometer's performance was evaluated using standard Sudan III samples and powdered C. xanthorrhiza samples from two quality classes (A and B). Spectral data were analysed using principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression.  PCA successfully grouped Sudan III samples by concentration and classified C. xanthorrhiza by curcuminoid content. A PLS regression model was developed for quantifying Sudan III, yielding R² values of 0.9909 for both calibration and cross-validation, with RMSEs of 0.3821% and 0.4152%, respectively. The results closely matched those from a commercial spectrophotometer. A PLS-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) classification model for C. xanthorrhiza was also developed, achieving sensitivity and specificity values of 1. Additionally, semi-quantitative parameters such as decision limit (26.15% B), detection capability (41.06% B), and unreliability range (26.15–41.06% B) were calculated. The classification model showed strong sensitivity, specificity, and detection capabilities within acceptable limits. These findings suggest that this low-cost reflectance spectrophotometer, combined with chemometric methods, holds promise as a practical tool for the quality control of raw herbal materials.

Abstract

A novel magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) was developed for the adsorption of capsaicin, a key component of capsaicinoids widely used in food additives and topical pharmaceuticals. Excessive use of capsaicin can lead to respiratory, skin, and oral disorders, necessitating effective monitoring methods. This study aimed to synthesize MMIPs and magnetic molecularly non imprinted polymers (MNIPs) using 4-vinyl pyridine as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinker, combined with an initiator in a 1:4:20 molar ratio. Magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) were incorporated to facilitate magnetic separation. Characterization via particle size analyzer (PSA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the successful synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, MNIPs, and MMIPs. PSA analysis for Fe3O4 nanoparticles showed an average size of 140.2 nm with a polydispersity index (PI) of 0.313, MMIPs showed an average particle size of 746.6 nm and a PI value of 0.397. FTIR spectra revealed characteristic absorption bands at 3429 cm−1 (O-H), 2958 cm−1 (C-H), 1732 cm−1 (C=O), 1155 cm−1 (C-O), and 580 cm−1(Fe-O), indicating successful Fe3O4 modification. SEM-EDS analysis showed non-spherical morphology due to bulk polymerization. TEM image results showed Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were successfully coated with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). The developed MMIPs effectively have a robust synthesis method and thorough analysis, laying the groundwork for future applications.

Abstract

Modified activated carbon (MAC) has been synthesized and characterized to enhance mercury (Hg) removal from natural gas. MAC was modified by impregnating it into KCl, Na2S, and KI to introduce Cl-, S-, and I- elements. SEM-EDX, FTIR, and SAA were used to characterize the AC and MAC. The isotherm and adsorption capacity were studied using the mercury gas standard. The results of SEM-EDX analysis show that the impregnation method is proven to produce MAC containing elements Cl, S, and I with mass % of 2.78% Cl, 0.76% S, and 39.60% I. The surface area is 421.91 m2/g, the total pore volume is 0.386825 cc/g, and the average pore size is 1.83369 nm. Group functions are -OH, C=C, C=O, C-O, and vibrations at the wavelength number 617.81 cm-1, which the impregnation agent forms. The mechanism for absorbing mercury gas into MAC follows the Freundlich isotherm model, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.996. The adsorption capacity on MAC increased 57 times compared to unmodified activated carbon (AC) from 5540.60 to 315730.64 ng/g, with an efficiency maximum of 100%. The MAC has been proven to enhance mercury adsorption from natural gas with an efficiency of 78.6%.
