Abstract

The hydration structures and dynamics of In3+ ion have been studied using classical Molecular Dinamics (MD) simulation. The best basis sets were optimized to construct the 2-bodies, 3-bodies correction equations, and analysis of the trajectory file of the simulation results in the form of the parameter of a solvation structure such as RDF, CND, ADF, and dynamic properties, namely the migration of water ligands between the hydration shells. The results showed that the hydration structure of the In3+ ion is In(H2O)93+ and In(H2O)63+, respectively. The geometric arrangement of In3+ hydration obtained through the simulation of classical Molecular Dynamics 2-bd MM 2-bd corrected 3-bd effect is octahedral, which agrees with experimental data and shows the importance of 3-bd correction. The exchange of H2O ligands between the first and second shell or vice versa was not observed during the classical Molecular Dynamics simulation process (2-body + 3-body potential). The hydration structure of In3+ in the first shell was relatively stable.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has become a major problem for public health around the world. One of the ways to prevent Coronavirus is by maintaining hand hygiene using hand sanitizer. The main ingredient of most antiseptics circulating in Indonesia is alcohol which can cause skin irritation. Alcohol substitutes as antiseptics in hand sanitizers are widely available in nature, one of which is the balakacida plant (Chromolaena odorata). The availability of balakacida plants in Indonesia is very abundant as wild plants are often referred to as nuisance plants (weeds). The phytochemical content of balakacida leaves includes saponins, flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids that have the potential as antibacterial. Balakacida leaf extract has the potential to be used as a source of active ingredients in antiseptic preparations as an alternative to maintain hand hygiene from various parasitic microorganisms. AgNPs are one of the antibacterial and antifungal agents that are effective in inhibiting and killing microorganisms. The optimal variation of CO-SNPs was found at 3 ml of CO-SNPs with an absorption peak of 409 nm and a particle size of 230.1 nm. CO-SNPs produced the best inhibitory value of 12.26 mm on E.coli bacteria.
