Abstract

Chronic exposure to UVB irradiation can caused premature skin aging (photoaging), as it can trigger the production of ROS and initiate both oxidative stress in cell membrane and affect the molecular pathway. This paper figured out the potential of oral and topical administration of C. asiatica extract on hairless rats skin tissue exposed by UVB based on expression of TGF-β1, MMP-1 and MDA dermis. A total of 30 male-hairless rats (Rattus novergicus) divided into 6 experimental groups, exposed by UVB with total dose 840 mJ/cm2 for four weeks. Topical gel therapy administered twice a day, 20 minutes before and 4 hours after irradiation. Oral therapy administered once a day before irradiation. Expression of TGF-β1, MMP-1 and MDA dermis observed by immunohistochemistry. The result showed that oral and topical therapy of C. asiatica extract was capable of inhibiting the increase of MMP-1 and MDA expression and the decrease of TGF- β1 significantly (p<0.05) in the dermal fibroblast of Wistar rat that exposed UVB light.

Abstract

Hydroquinone is one of the phenolic compounds used in various cosmetic products for skin lightening as it can inhibit tyrosinase enzyme in producing melanin. However, hydroquinone is classified as a toxic compound, therefore, several countries such as Africa, Canada, and Indonesia prohibits hydroquinone usage in cosmetics. This research was focused on the development of a method for hydroquinone analysis using flow injection (FI) combined with spectrophotometry based on the reaction of hydroquinone with phloroglucinol in alkaline condition producing orange complex detected at 493 nm. The FI method was optimized based on operational factors and chemical factors in order to achieve sensitivity. The maximum sensitivity of FI method was achieved under operational condition of 100 μL sample volume, 100 cm mixing coil 1, 50 cm mixing coil 2 and 2.8 mL/min with the chemical condition of 0.005 mol/L NaOH and 0.001 mol/L phloroglucinol. Under these optimum conditions, the proposed method showed linearity in the range concentration of 2 – 80 mg/L and the method was applied to cosmetic sample with acceptable recovery

Abstract

Curcuma longa, C. xanthorrhiza, C. heyneana, and Zingiber cassumunar contain high curcuminoid and have relatively the similar yellow color. Therefore, that they are potentially adulterated and difficult to differentiate in the form of powder. Hence, it is necessary to characterize the fingerprints compound profile by a simple and rapid method. This research aims to determine fingerprint compound profile of curcuminoid using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and digital image analysis. The result of the research identified that the fingerprint compound profile of curcuminoid on the four rhizomes was obtained by TLC method using silica gel 60 GF254 as the stationary phase, chloroform:dichloromethane:methanol (13:6:1) as the mobile phase, and observation under UV 254 nm light and citroborate reagent. Thereafter, the digital image analysis was carried out using Image J software according to the gray value and % of RGB (red-green-blue) value. Based on gray value and % of RGB, both Curcuma and Zingiber genera were differentiated through curcumin compound (Rf 0.63), demethoxycurcumin (Rf 0.34), bisdemethoxycurcumin (Rf 0.21). The profile of fingerprint compound on Curcuma longa, C. xanthorrhiza, C. heyneana, and Zingiber cassumunar was differentiated through Rf 0.26; Rf 0.17; and Rf 0.10.

Abstract

Since silicon nitride (SiNx) film is more stable than SiO2, silicon nitride, thus it is widely used in semiconductor industry as an insulatorlayer. The study of nitrogenation process of a-Si was performed using molecular dynamics simulations to determine the properties of the bonds created in the structure of a-SiNx. Reactive force field (Reaxff) was used as potential in this molecular dynamic simulation owing to its ability to describe charge transfer as well as breaking and formation of atomic bonds. The structure of a-Si is obtained by melting the crystalline silicon at temperature of 3500 K followed by quenching to room temperature. The nitrogenation process was carried out by randomly distributing 900 N atoms over the a-Si surface for 60 ps at temperature varied from 300 K, 600 K, 900 K, and 1200 K. The higher the temperature nitrogenation applied in the system, the more number of N atoms adsorbed, resulting in a deeper penetration depth of Nitrogen atom. Amorphization and nitrogenation changed the distribution of coordination number of Ni, Si, and O atoms. Transfer of electrons from silicon to nitrogen occurs only in the nearest nitrogen atom with silicon atom.

Abstract

This study describes simple synthetic method to prepare 1-(2-methoxybenzyl)-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium bromide from gandapura oil. The salt were synthesized in four steps. Initially, commercial gandapura oil was directly subjected to the alkylation reaction under basic condition using dimethyl sulfate to give methyl 2-methxybenzoate in 86% yield. Next, the produced benzoate ester was reduced by LiAlH4 to produce 2-methoxybenzyl alcohol in 67% yield. The treatment of benzyl alcohol with phosphorus tribromide under solvent free condition produced the corresponding benzyl bromide (in 67% yield), which was directly introduced into bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction with 1,10-phenantroline monohydrate to finally give the desired product in 63% yield.

Abstract

One of the problems in using ganyong (Canna edulis Kerr)as food is the presence of tannin, an antinutritional substance, that can reduce the nutritional quality of ganyong. The purpose of this study was aimed to analyze the effect of fermenting ganyong using Lactobacillus Plantarumbacteria on the chemical compounds and the reduction of tannin level in its flour. Theresults showed that the optimum conditions of fermenting ganyong were at pH 6, the temperature of 40 oC, and at the fermentation time of 36 hours. At the optimum conditions, Lactobacillus Plantarumwas able to decrease tannin content in ganyong from 2.53 mg/mL to 0.84 mg/mL. The reduction of tannin content is due to the activity of tannase produced by the microorganisms. Fermentation caused the enrichment protein content, from 1.87% to 2.01% and the reduction of starch, amylose, and amylopectin contents to 51%, 16.82%, and 38.08% from 60.19%, 18.27%, and 43.49% respectively. SDS-PAGE results showed that the protein profiles changed in ganyong sample after the fermentation process. Protein with a molecular weight of 72.49 kDa which showed in the non-fermented ganyong, did not appear in the fermented ganyong, and protein band intensities also showed changes.

Abstract

Aquatic sediment has a role for heavy metals sink. Understanding the geochemical fractions of heavy metals in the aquatic sediment can predict the mobility and reactivity of heavy metals fractions that can induce environmental problems. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of geochemical fractions of copper and zinc in aquatic sediment of Nyolo spring. Sediments samples were taken from five locations along the spring. Geochemical fractions of copper and zinc were extracted using BCR (Community Bureau of Reference) sequential extraction method. The concentration of these metals in each extract was analyzed using AAS. The result showed that overall the sediment consisted of zinc at a higher concentration than copper. Amongst the geochemical fractions, copper and zinc were found dominantly at an oxidizable fraction. As the first fraction, Zn was more bioavailable than copper for biological uptake. Furthermore, based on the Risk Assessment Code (RAC) value, the aquatic sediment of Nyolo Spring was low risk to the Zn and Cu contaminations at most sites, except for Zn in Site III showed a medium risk. This metals fraction will potentially available for organism uptake with the changing of pH sediment or overlying water
