Abstract

Melastoma affine plant has effect on health such as curing wound and toothache, also as an antimalarial drug. The fruit of this plant is purple and probably contain secondary metabolite compounds such as phenols and flavonoids. The total amount of both compounds may be different in unripe and ripe fruit. The aims of this research were to analyze secondary metabolite compounds and determine total phenol and total flavonoid of Melastoma affine fruit extract. The samples used in this study were unripe and ripe Melastoma affine fruits. Both of samples were extracted by three different solvents (water, 70% ethanol, and 96% ethanol) and obtained 6 extracts. Based on phytochemical test, each extract from unripe and ripe Melastoma affine fruit contained alkaloid, triterpenoid, flavonoid, phenol, and tanin. The extract with highest total phenols was 70% ethanolic extract from unripe fruit (189.56 mg/g GAE), while the extract with highest total flavonoids was 96% ethanolic extract from unripe fruit (225.50 mg/g CE). Based on this result, we conclude that unripe fruit of Melastoma affine has more total phenols and total flavonoids than ripe fruit.

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer in the world that occurs in women. Thedevelopment process of cancer is regulated by a variety of pathways that involve various enzymes. COX-2 is an enzyme involved in the inflammatory process in further stages that will play importantroles in breast cancer cells progression. The uses of natural compound from plants give new hope forbreast cancer treatment with minimal side effects. Temulawak is a potential breast cancer drugs because it contains curcuminoid and xanthorizol. Curcumin and xanthorizol has been reported to have chemopreventive effect on colon cancer development. The drug that has same functions of these compounds needed to be examined with various approaches. One of the approach used in this research is molecular docking. Based on ligand analysis with Lipinski and toxicity test using ADMET, curcuminoid and xanthorizol met criteria as medicinal compounds. Curcumin had the highest binding affinity(?G) with the value -9.3 kcal/mol but still under commercial drug celecoxib binding affinity (?G) = -12,5. There were three hydrogen bonds in amino acid Arg106 and Tyr341 His75 which were amino acids in the active side of COX-2. There were 15 amino acids that have similar ties with commercial drug celecoxib. Based on the binding affinity and binding similiarity, curcuminoid and xanthorizol were predicted as compounds that have potential as competitive inhibitor of COX-2 enzyme.

Abstract

Delignification is a lignin degradation, a preliminary process in industries that used cellulose containing substrates. Sengon logs are often used for the material in pulp industry because it has high levels of cellulose and low level of lignin. The aim of this study was delignification of sengon logs by using T.versicolor. The methods used include observation growth of T.versicolor compared with Phanerochaete chrysosporium, the rate of of lignin degradation (black liquor), delignification of sengon logs using T.versicolor and the chemical assay of sengon logs before and after delignification. The results of this study showed that delignification by T.versicolor was faster compared to P.chrysosporium based on the rate of lignin degradation (black liquor). The result showed that delignification by T.versicolor at room temperature reduced lignin of sengon logs by 37.31% within 20 days. Chemical assay performed on delignified sengon wood showed decreased level of ethanol benzene, soluble extractive substances, holocellulose, and cellulose and an increase of hemicellulose level.
