Abstract

Synthesis and characterization of cellulose acetate and nanocellulose acetate have been carried out. Cellulose was isolated from sengon wood powder waste using 6% NaOH solution and bleached with NaOCl. The cellulose was hydrolyzed with 60% formic acid to obtain nanocellulose. Cellulose and nanocellulose were then modified with acetic anhydride. The synthesized products were characterized by FTIR to identify organic functional groups, powder XRD to measure crystallinity, and SEM to observe surface morphology. Solubility tests in several types of solvents were also performed. The degree of substitution (DS) of cellulose acetate and nanocellulose acetate was carried out based on Indonesia’s SNI 0444:2009 method. The DS calculation show that the cellulose acetate and nanocellulose have DS of 2.9 and 2.1, respectively.

Abstract

High ionic conductivity and more porous have extraordinary significance to solid polymer electrolyte in Li ion battery application. In this study, bacterial cellulose (BC) based polymer was modified by polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinyl acetate (PVA) to get composite solid polymer electrolyte. Blending the polymer host is one more approach to work on the morphology pore and electrochemical properties of polymer electrolytes. The slurry of BC is rich in fibers that contribute to forming the pore template of the solid electrolyte membrane. Polyvinyl work to make more pore and increases the polymer segmental ion lithium mobility. Pore morphology of BC PVA composite membrane homogeneously distributed by SEM observations. The presence of many pores makes the tensile strength of the BC PVA membrane lower, for use in solid electrolytes it does not affect battery performance. The presence of pores that contribute a lot to the absorption of electrolytes. Enhancement of the conductivity upon addition of salt is correlated to the enhancement of more pore of polymer electrolyte. The conductivity of BC PVA composite 8.45 x 10-7 Scm-1 higher than PVP at room temperature. In the future, PVA can be relied on to be a mixed material for solid electrolyte membranes based on cellulose.

Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is included in the rhizome plant containing curcumin which has various therapeutic properties. However, curcumin has poor bioavailability. The manufacture of nanoemulsion is expected to increase curcumin bioavailability. This study aims to compare 3 methods (wet-ball milling, ultrasonication and microfluidic) and 3 carrier oils (soybean, virgin coconut, and olive oil) in the production of curcumin nanoemulsion. Wet-ball milling reduces particle size through grinding process using milling beads in liquid medium. Microfluidic decreases the particle size via collision of emulsion components in microchannel while ultrasound utilizes sound-wave energy to break down the particle size. Parameters compared were particle size, polydispersity index and entrapment efficiency. Particle size and polydispersity index were observed using Particle Size Analyzer with Dynamic Light Scattering technique while entrapment efficiency was measured based on the curcumin absorbance in UV-Visible spectrophotometer at 420 nm. Our study concludes that microfluidic is the most effective and efficient fabrication method which produces the smallest particle size and polydispersity index compared to ultrasonication and microfluidic. The resulting particle sizes using microfluidic are 154, 140 and 132 nm with polydispersity index of 0.224; 0.200and 0.208 insoybean,virgin coconut, and oliveoil respectively. However, entrapment efficiency is best achieved using wet-ball milling method with the average value of 49±10%. Soybean oil appears to be the most curcumin solubilizing oil compared to olive and virgin coconut oil. Thus, it can be concluded that fabrication methods and carrier oils determine curcumin nanoemulsion properties.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a condition where the cells in breast tissue lose control and multiply uncontrollably. In this study, MCF-7 breast cancer cells were tested for cytotoxic activity using the MTT assay and the active compound's interaction with the p53 protein was tested in silico. The most active fraction was found to be the ethyl acetate fraction, with an IC50 value of 1.730 μg/mL and a selectivity index of 2.485. However, the selectivity index was less than 3, and Vero cells showed changes in morphology with the addition of the ethyl acetate fraction. GC-MS was used to identify 19 compounds in the ethyl acetate fraction, and in-silico tests were performed on 5 potential anticancer compounds. Lipinski's Rule of Five test showed that only 3 of these compounds could undergo molecular docking. The results indicated that Anethole compound can interact with p53 protein, while Cinnamaldehyde, (E)- can interact with p21 protein.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus causes many severe diseases, such as meningitis, lung infection, and hematogenous osteomyelitis. The prolonged use of antibiotic drugs leads to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), decreasing their effectiveness against S. aureus. Therefore, novel drugs isolated from natural products have been the focus of many researchers to solve that problem. The essential oils isolated from Vitex trifolia leaf have many pharmacological activities, including antibacterial and antifungal activities. In this research, essential oil was isolated by distillation, followed by GC-MS analysis. The antibacterial activity of the essential oil was conducted using a disk diffusion test (Kirby-Bauer) and by molecular docking study. The essential oil yield from distillation was 0.13%, containing major compounds such as sabinene, eucalyptol, terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol, limonene, and caryophyllene. The essential oil gave intermediate inhibition against S. aureus with a 6.91 ± 0.03 mm inhibition zone in 20 mg/mL of the sample. Using molecular docking study, caryophyllene and α-terpineol were the key compounds for inhibiting the active site of tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, sortase A, and dihydrofolate reductase that are responsible for the S. aureus growth and development.

Abstract

Cassava is one of the most widely produced agricultural products in Indonesia with cassava peel waste of 20%. Cassava peel contains carbohydrates and stores a high cellulose content so that it has a potential to be a bioethanol. This study aims to utilize cassava peel waste for bioethanol production with an alkaline pretreatment process, cellulase enzyme hydrolysis and fermentation by using Zymomonas mobilis bacteria. Alkaline pretreatment with 14% NaOH is used to hydrolyze lignocellulose. The hydrolysis optimization process enzymatically applies the Surface Response Method (RSM) to determine the optimum conditions at hydrolysis pH in the range of 2-10 and hydrolysis temperature in the range of 30-70 °C by analyzing glucose levels using the Dinitrosalicylic Acid (DNS) method and UV-vis spectrophotometry instruments. Surface Response Method (RSM) is likewise implemented to decide the greatest conditions of the fermentation process. The pH measurement ranges 2-10, and fermentation time takes 6 to 168 hours. Based on the results of research, it results a lignin content of 6.68% (b/b), cellulose content of 58.4% (b/b), and hemicellulose content of 27.3% (b/b). The optimum conditions of the hydrolysis process obtained an optimum glucose level of 9.22mg/mL at pH 2 and a hydrolysis temperature of 50°C. The optimum conditions of the fermentation process use Zymomonas mobilis at pH 6 while fermentation time takes 168 hours analyzed using a refractometer produced a bioethanol content of 37.75% (v/v) and a gas chromatography produced a bioethanol content of 54.94% (v/v).

Abstract

Rourea coccinea is a widely used medicinal plant worldwide, especially in West Africa. The phytochemical screening of the ethylanolic extract of leaves carried out according to the method of Houghton and Raman with some modifications, revealed the presence of alkaloids, phenolic compounds, terpenenoids, tannins, coumarines, anthocyanins and anthraquinones. The antiradicalar tests were performed using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diamum salt) and FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) with a Scavenging concentration 50 (SC50) of 101,19 µg/mL, 34.73 µg/mL and 88.93 µg/mL respectively. The antishigella activity of the extract determined by the microdilution method was low. According to Jair Siquera-Neto et al., the antileishmanial assay using the colorimetric resealing method showed activity against promastigous strains of Leishmania donovani with an inhibitory concentration of IC50=32.26 µg/mL. The traditional use of Rourea coccinea, in the treatment of several diseases, would be justified by these pharmacological properties tested.

Abstract

Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC) are lipid-based carrier that uses a combination of liquid and solid lipids which is believed to deliver a higher amount of active substance to the human body. This study aimed to obtain the best formulation and evaluate the stability of curcumin-loaded NLC (C-NLC) using microfluidic technique at temperature of 40oC and 60oC with the ratios of liquid:solid lipids were 2 : 1 ; 3.5 : 1 ; 4 : 1 ; 6 : 1% w/w. Our results showed that the increase of process temperature and liquid lipid concentration reduced particle size. There was a non-linear relationship between lipid ratio and temperature to encapsulation percentage. At ratio of soybean oil:stearic acid 6 : 1 and, at 40°C, particles size (PS) obtained was 143.87 ± 3.36 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) obtained was 0.44 ± 0.01, zeta potential (ZP) obtained was -33.3 ± 6.53 mV with encapsulation percentage of 20.62%. At the same ratio at 60°C, the PS obtained was 60.21 ± 2.55 nm, PDI obtained was 0.72 ± 0.03, ZP obtained was -26.10 ± 1.83 mV and encapsulation percentage of 31.45%. Stability test showed that C-NLC produced at 60°C was more stable since the change of particle size and pH were lower than C-NLC produced at 40°C.
