Abstract

Synthetic antioxidants, such as butyl hydroxyanisole (BHA), have carcinogenic (cancer-causing) adverse effects because they can cause type I alveolar damage and damage to lung endothelial genes. The objective of this study was to use the DPPH (2,2 diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method to investigate the antioxidant activity of natural substances found in the leaves of the mahogany parasite (Dendrophthu pentandra (L.) Miq.). Extraction, chromatography, and spectrophotometry are the techniques used. Maceration in stages utilizing n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol as solvents yielded mahogany parasite leaf extract. Phytochemical screening, thin layer chromatography testing, antioxidant activity testing utilizing a Visible Spectrophotometer, and estimating the IC50 were all performed on mahogany parasite leaf extract. The phytochemical screening results revealed that the samples included four types of secondary metabolites: flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. A thin layer chromatographic test revealed four well-separated stains using n-hexane and ethyl acetate eluent in a volume ratio of 5:5, showing the Rf as the value of the four secondary metabolites mentioned above. Based on the results of the experiments, it is possible to conclude that mahogany parasite leaves have strong antioxidant activity, with an IC50 of 8.47 ppm.

Abstract

Foot-and-mouth disease is a severe problem that must be faced in the livestock sector. This disease has a negative impact on various aspects, especially the economy. One way to develop herbal medicinal compounds is through local Indonesian wild plants, meniran (Phyllanthus urinaria). This research aims to determine the potential of the wild plant P. urinaria as an antiviral agent for FMD using an in silico approach using molecular docking. The compounds used as ligands are flavonoid compounds in P. urinaria, namely, routine, quercetin 7-methyl ether, quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucoside, quercetin, rhamnocitrin, astragalin, and kaempferol. This study used the control drug ribavirin as a comparison. The research stage began with the preparation of the RdRp protein from the FMD virus with Discovery Studio, ligand preparation with the Lipinski druglikeness test and minimization using OpenBabel, followed by docking and visualization. The research results found that the six flavonoid compounds in P. urinaria have potential as antiviral FMD by inhibiting RdRp, with the most potent compound being quercetin (-7.9 kcal/mol). Further research is needed, including in vitro and in vivo testing, to provide confidence in the potential of this wild plant as an antiviral for FMD.

Abstract

Synthesis of smart packaging from cellulose acetate with the addition of AgNO3 as an antibacterial substance has been investigated. The purpose of this study is to fabricate smart packaging from cellulose acetate with the addition of AgNO3 as an antibacterial substance. The method used was solution casting. In addition, this study was also characterizing the smart packaging, they included tensile strength and elongation percent test, antibacterial test, morphology analysis using SEM, and biodegradability test. The plastics obtained were clearly yellow, not easily damaged, a little thick, and the smooth surface and slightly bubbly. The largest tensile strength of plastic was 0.0661 MPa, it found in sample No. 2, while the smallest tensile strength was 0.027 MPa, it found in sample No. 1. The greatest elongation value at break was 5% found in sample No. 4, while the smallest elongation value at break was 3.5% in sample No. 3. The result of antibacterial test reported that the freshest mangoes were shown by samples No. 1 and No. 2; while the fast-rotting mangoes were shown in the sample No. 3 and No. 4. The results of the SEM test showed the presence of nano-sized particles that spreaded in the plastic body. The greatest degradability degree were sample No. 4 about 0.0009 g/day with the percentage of mass loss about 17.38%. Futhermore, cellulose acetate can be used as a basic material for making plastics. The addition of AgNO3 in plastic synthesis can help to delay the process of fruit spoilage caused by bacteria.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterial pathogen that causes various kinds of infections. The use of antibiotics is usually done to treat the infection. However, Pseudomonas aeruginosa has various resistance abilities that can avoid the efficacy of antibiotics. The emergence of drug resistance events encourages the need for the discovery of new antibiotic drugs, one of which comes from fungals secondary metabolite. Soil fungi from mangrove ecosystems have not been studied much. Interestingly, these soil fungi have unique adaptive responses. This response also affects the secondary metabolites it contains. Knowing this information, mangrove soil samples were cultured on fungi media which were then tested against Pseudomonas aeruginosa through antagonist test and microdilution test. Three fungal cultures with yeast characteristics were obtained and each of the secondary metabolite ethyl acetate extracts of these three fungi had antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity was indicated by the % inhibition parameter. The terpenoid content in fungal cultures may be responsible for the antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This research is an initial indohoki77 juga dikenal karena layanan pelanggannya yang responsif dan profesional.
