Current Biochemistry (CB) publishes the results of original research that contribute significantly to the understanding of the chemical compound and reaction that occur within living organism. Preference will be accorded to manuscripts that develop new concepts or experimantal approaches, particularly in the advancing areas of biochemistry science. Manuscripts that are primarily theoretical in nature or in the field of bioinformatics must be directed toward explaining important results previously not understood, making important predictions that can be experimentally tested, or developing segnificant advances in theory of general interest to biochemists. Submission of manuscripts in emerging areas in biochemistry, chemical biology, biophysics, proteomics, model studies and structures, cellular and molecular biology, computational biochemistry, biotechnology, and new methods development is encouraged especially if they address basic biochemical mechanisms.

Abstract

Research on the potential of the Surian tree (Toona sinensis) for medicine has been carried out, especially for the leaves. However, the bark section has not been done much. This study aimed to determine the inhibitory activity of -glucosidase and IC50 extract as well as the fraction of surian bark as antidiabetic in vitro. The reflux method with water at 90oC and maceration using 70% ethanol at room temperature was carried out to obtain aqueous and ethanol extracts. Furthermore, the ethanol extract was fractionated successively using n-hexane, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate. Phytochemical screening test showed that the aqueous extract contained flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. Meanwhile, the 70% ethanol extract and its fraction showed terpenoid content, in addition to flavonoid compounds, saponins, and tannins. The best -glucosidase inhibition was shown by 70% ethanol extract, which was 70.45 ppm followed by ethyl acetate fraction, n-hexane fraction, diethyl ether fraction, and water extract of surian bark with values of 81.96 g/mL, 98.76 g/mL, respectively. , 140.25 g/mL, and 242.85 g/mL. Kinetics of -glucosidase inhibition showed that 70% ethanol extract of surian bark inhibited through a non-competitive inhibition mechanism, characterized by a decrease in Vmax from 8.29x10-3 mM/min to 1.65x10-3 mM/min and a decrease in Km from 0.17 mM to 0.03 mM.

Abstract

Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) has been widely used as a healthy drink as well as traditional medicine. This study aimed to test the antioxidant activity of C. ternatea aqueous extract based on its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation (in vitro) using different parts and extraction methods. Extraction was carried out on flowers, leaves, and roots. The leaves and roots were extracted by boiling technique. Flowers were extracted in 3 ways: boiling, maceration, and brewing. Antioxidant activity was determined based on phenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant test using the TBA method. The highest phenolic and flavonoid levels were shown by the aqueous extract of C. ternatea leave of 57.51 mg GAE/g and 1.50 mg EK/g, respectively. The highest levels of flavonoid were from flower parts treated with boiling technique (0.88 mg EK/g), followed by brewed flowers and macerated flowers. The highest antioxidant activity was obtained from flowers that were boiled for 30 minutes with a percentage inhibition of 94%. Based on the method of extraction and part of the plant, all extracts of C. ternatea have similar antioxidant potential.

Abstract

Red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) is one of the typical Indonesian herbal plants that has an antibacterial function. This study aimed to test and measure the activity of 70% ethanol extract of red betel leaf and its fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water fractions) as antibacterial against specific bacteria Escherichia coli pBR322 based on activity and minimum inhibitory concentration. Extraction was carried out using the maceration method and continued with fractionation based on the level of solvent polarity. Antibacterial activity was indicated by the presence of inhibition zones. The minimum inhibitory concentration was indicated by the appearance of the inhibition zone at the minimum concentration. Results showed that extraction process resulted in crude extract yield of 19.49%. The best antibacterial activity was shown by 1000 ppm n-hexane fraction with an inhibition zone of 2.40 mm ± 0.14. The best minimum inhibitory concentration was 100 ppm n-hexane fraction with an inhibition zone of 0.60 mm ± 0.56.

Abstract

Negative effects on health will occur in excessive use of paracetamol. The main objective of this study was to determine the hepatoprotective activity of Propolis Trigona spp., Hibiscus sabdariffa, and Myrmeleon sp. in rats induced by paracetamol. The study was conducted on 36 Sprague Dawley rats with 6 rats in each group. Group 1 (normal control), group 2 (positive control, temulawak 42.86 mg/kg BW), group 3 (negative control), group 4 (infusion of Myrmeleon 10 mg/kg BW), group 5 (propolis extract 0.02 ml/kg BW), and group 6 (Hibiscus sabdariffa infusion 0.02 ml/kg BW). Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentrations were determined spectrophotometrically and microscopically for liver histopathology. The results showed that during three weeks of treatment with Propolis Trigona spp., Hibiscus sabdariffa, and Myrmeleon sp. in rats, this treatment could decrease ALT and AST activity as the positive control. The ALT activity values ​​of the three materials were 69.26, 51.00, 51.00, 43.67, U/I with AST values ​​of 110.29, 97.33, 91.00, 91.33 U/I. Based on Duncan's test, there were significant differences between all treatments with negative and positive control groups. Likewise, with the histopathological scoring results, the negative control was found to be significantly different from all treatments. Therefore, treatment with propolis Trigona spp., Hibiscus sabdariffa, and Myrmeleon sp. may have hepatoprotective benefit.
