Abstract

Malaria is one of problematic infectious diseases worldwide. The absence of an effective vaccine and the spread of drug resistant strains of Plasmodium clearly indicate the necessity for the deveploment of new chemotherapeutic agents. Recent method being developed is searching a new drug of antimalarial using in silico screening, or also known as virtual screening. One of enzyme target that important for growth of the malaria parasite is Plasmodium falciparum Enoyl Acyl Carrier Protein Reductase (PfENR). Inhibition of this enzyme cause the fatty acid biosynthesis type II will be terminated. In this research, in silico screening was performed using AUTODOCK VINA software to find inhibitor candidates of PfENR by using ligands from the database of Medicinal Plants in Indonesia. On the AUTODOCK VINA software moleculer docking experiments were performed between ligands and macromolecule target PfENR. This target that has been optimized with residue removal and charges addition. Ligand is expected to be the PfENR inhibitors.

Abstract

Avocado peel (Persea americana Mill) and red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum) proved to have antidiabetic properties. However, there has been no research on the analysis of antidiabetic activity of the combination of avocado peel and red ginger in functional beverages. This study aims to make functional beverages from the combination of avocado peel and red ginger. Total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, inhibition of the α-amylase activity, and public preferences towards functional beverages (organoleptic) were then evaluated. Functional beverages were made by brewing the powdered avocado peel and red ginger with 200 ml of hot water (96oC) for 5 minutes. The results showed that the increase of avocado peels amount in the combination coukd increase total phenolic content. The high antioxidant capacity was also found in samples with high content of avoccado peels. The results of inhibition of α-amylase enzyme activity did not show any significant differences. Organoleptic test results showed that there were no significant differences in each sample. The combination of avocado peel and red ginger has the potential to be an antidiabetic functional beverage.

Abstract

Indonesia had the big potency to produce red beans and edamame beans, but its utilization regarding functional food was not optimal. This research was intended for development combining red and edamame beans to become a new functional beverage product. The ratio of edamame milk to red bean milk (100:0, 75:25, and 50:50) and cooking temperature 90 oC has been selected based on SNI soymilk. During storage, a phase separation happened. Consequently, stabilizer should be added to improve its stability. Three types of stabilizers were used,CMC 0.1 %, 0.2%, and 0.3 %, xanthan gum (XG), and guar gum (GG) 0.025 %, 0.05 %, and 0.1 %, respectively. The best formulation was milk ratio 75:25 with 90 oC and addition of XG 0.05 %. The dietary fiber analysis for milk formulation was 4.46 % therefore it was categorized as a functional beverage.

Abstract

The synthesis of mesoporous silica as a delivery agent for the ethyl para-methoxycinnamate has been carried out. The study aims to determine the process of mesoporous silica synthesis from sodium silicate from the smelting of rice husk ash, determine the adsorption capacity of mesoporous silica in the ethyl para-methoxycinnamate and the pH responsive release of ethyl para-methoxycinnamate with mesoporous silica as a delivery agent in simulated intestinal and gastric fluids. It was found that mesoporous silica can be synthesized from rice husk ash with a 30% tartaric acid template. Characterization of mesoporous silica using FTIR spectroscopy showed the presence of silanol (Si-OH) and siloxane (Si-O-Si) functional groups. Mesoporous silica from rice husk ash is able as adsorbent for the ethyl para-methoxycinnamate with the adsorption capacity of 8.26 mg/g. The release test of gastric simulation fluid (pH 1.2) showed that the ethyl-para-methoxycinnamate was released from silica for a period of 12 hours. In the intestinal simulation fluid (pH 7.4), the release of the ethyl para-methoxycinnamate occurred slowly at the first hour, then gradually increased at 5 hour up to 12 hour.

Abstract

The corrosion inhibition efficiency of copper was tested by the weight loss method in 1 M H2SO4 medium in the presence of pinostrobin as inhibitor. It shows that the addition of pinostrobin inhibitor reduce the corrosion rate. The nature of thermodynamic of pinostrobin adsorption on copper surfaces follows the Freundlich isotherm. The process of inhibition is endothermic, spontaneous and physisorption. It is proved by the Ea, ΔH and ΔS and ΔG values in which the thermodynamic studies show that the values of Ea < 80 kJ.mol-1, ∆H positive, ∆S positive, and ΔG < -20 kJ.mol-1.

Abstract

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) study have been performed on Xanthone derivatives as anti-cancer activity. The objectives of this research is to design a new Xanthone derivatives from the best QSAR equation model. The data set were taken from the previous study, involving 41 Xanthone derivatives and their biology activities in Inhibitor Concentration 50 % (IC50). The parameters (descriptors) were calculated by semiempirical PM3 method. The selection of the best QSAR equation models was determined by multilinear regression analysis. The best linear equation resulted from that analysis is: Log 1/IC50 = 13,099 + 2,837 qC1 + 0,098 qC2 + 11,214 qC10 + 2,065 qC13 – 1,236 qC14 + 35,356 qO15 + 0,001 (vol) – 0,025 (log P) + 0,283 (dipole) n = 41; r = 0.735; adjusted r2 = 0.360; Fhit/Ftab = 1.2911; PRESS = 5.0089. Based on that model, a new Xanthon derivatives has been design which show better predicted biology activity (log 1/IC50= 15,0863), new derivatives have the log 1/IC50 higher than the old one (log 1/IC50= 9). This result indicated that new Xanthone derivatives has potential to developed as new anti-cancer drug

Abstract

The binding selectivity of 18-membered azacrown ethers (monoaza- N1, diaza- N2, triaza- N3, tetraaza- N4, pentaaza- N5, and hexaaza-18-crown-6 N6) with Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+ have been studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The complex binding selectivity was analyzed in term of interaction energies, thermodynamic properties, second order interaction energies, and charge transfer effects. The geometrical study shows that Ca2+ and azacrown complexes acquire envelope like structure, leading to shorter bond lengths. As a result, these complex systems have the highest interaction energies. Theoretical study also showed that N6 complex with alkaline earth metal ion were shown to be more stable complex than those ligand with lower nitrogen number. The interaction energy order is N0 < N1 < N2 < N3 < N4 < N5 < N6. This trend shows that the presence of more nitrogen on the crown ether cavity increases the interaction energies by approx. 7.3 % in going from N0 to N6. It is clearly showed that the contribution of the number of nitrogen play a dominant role in the binding selectivity of these systems.

Abstract

Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) blend has been synthesized from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), humic acid, and aluminum sulphate octadecahydrate cross-linker. SAP is hydrophilic networks that can absorb and retain huge amount of water within their structures. Humic acid as starting material of polymer, was isolated from subgrade Batujai Dam by using IHSS method. Water Absorption Capacity (WAC) measurement, FTIR analysis, and agitation tests to investigate the cross-linking process and which of Al3+ and SO42- ions causes the crosslinking are carried out. Optimum cross-linking ratio of CMC and cross-linker appeared to be 2wt% corresponded to WAC determination. FTIR spectrum of CMC/humic acid blend and agitation test showed that CMC react with humic acid during polymerization process via Al3+ ion. Keywords: carboxymethyl cellulose; Al3+ ion; humic acid; superabsorbent polymer.
