Variation of Iodine Mass and Acetylation Time On Cellulose Acetate Synthesis From Rice Straw
Get PDFCellulose acetate is a membrane material that can be used in the sensor field. One source of cellulose acetate is from rice straw. This study aimed to study the effect of iodine mass and acetylation time on cellulose acetate synthesis from rice straw. The initial step is to isolate cellulose from rice straw, followed by cellulose acetate synthesis using iodine catalyst by varying the amount of iodine as much as 0.1-0.3 grams and acetylation time for 1 until 5 hours. The cellulose acetate was characterized using an infrared spectrophotometer, and its viscosity was determined. The result shows that the cellulose 33.63%. The maximum time of cellulose acetate acetylation is 2 hours with a mass of iodine 0.2 g. The yield of cellulose acetate was 14.98%, with an acetyl value of 19.11% and a degree of substitution of 0.89. The cellulose acetate produced has a low viscosity. The FTIR characterization of cellulose acetate shows O-H functional groups at 3333 cm-1, C-H functional groups at ​​2897 cm-1, carbonyl functional groups at 1722 cm-1 C-O functional groups at 1029 cm-1 that were identical in cellulose acetate compounds. The amount of iodine and the acetylation time affected the cellulose acetate product
Preparation of Natural Ouw Clay-Chitosan Composite and Its Application as Lead and Cadmium Metal Adsorbent
Get PDFThis study aims to obtain the optimum ratio of Ouw Natural Clay (LAO):Chitosan in the manufacture of chitosan-LAO composites. The composite will be used as an adsorbent for heavy metals Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd). LAO-Chitosan composites were made with the ratio of LAO:Chitosan = 1.25:1, 2.5:1, 5:1. XRD and SEM were carried out for each composite. The performance as a Cd metal adsorbent was determined by calculating the adsorption capacity. Composites with a ratio of 1.25:1 have the best adsorption capacity. The performance as adsorbent for Cd metal was determined by calculating the absorbed Cd concentration. Maximum results are achieved by composites with a ratio of 5:1
Study of Molecular Docking of Alkaloid Derivative Compounds from Stem Karamunting (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa) Against α-glucosidase Enzymes
Get PDFKaramunting plant (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa) is a traditional medicinal plant. The leaves, roots, stems, and fruits of Karamunting have been identified, and their biological activities are antioxidants, antibacterial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer that contained alkaloids, tannins, and flavonoids. The types of alkaloids found in karamunting stems are homolycorine, ismine, lycorine, maritidine and tazetine. This study aims to determine the binding score of alkaloid-derived compounds with protein α-glucosidase and determine the protein's active site bound to the ligand. The method used in this research is Protein-Ligand ANT-System (PLANTS). The results showed that the anchoring score of homolycorine was -60.83 kcal/mol, ismine -64.42 kcal/mol, lycorine -71.20 kcal/mol, maritidine -61.82 kcal/mol, and tazetine -65.02 kcal/mol. The active sites used for binding are Glu526, Gly555, and Pro556. The average score for anchoring alkaloid-derived compounds with protein α-glucosidase is 83.84%. This number indicates that karamunting stems can be used as antidiabetic

Concentration Effect of Leaf Extract from Kekara Laut (Canavalia Maritima Thou.) in inhibiting of Staphylococcus Epidermidis Bacteria with a Statistical Science Approach
Get PDFImportantly to study the coastal vegetation from Kekara Laut (Canavalia maritima Thou.) to observe the antibacterial agents towards Staphylococcus epidermidis. The purpose of this study to examine the variation concentration effect of an ethanol leaf extract from Canavalia maritima Thou. in inhibiting the growth of S. epiderimidis bacteria. The leaf of Canavalia maritima Thou. was prepared using a physicochemical method to obtain ethanol extract, then varied in several concentrations, namely 5% w/v; 10% w/v; 15% w/v; and 20% w/v. Based on these results, we obtain the ethanol leaf extract can inhibit the growth of S. epidermidis with a concentration of 15% w/v for 24 hours having an inhibition zone of 17.17 mm. The statistical analysis test was very significantly different from all antibacterial tests, the value of F count was 682.1 with F table (3.48), at the level of α = 0.05 (3.48) and α = 0.01 (5.99), which indicates that H0 is rejected, but using the Variance method in the Newman-Keuls range approach shows that each concentration has a good inhibitory ability. The use of Canavalia maritima Thou. leaf extract in low concentrations can significantly inhibit bacterial growth (bacteriostatic)
Synthesis of Pentapeptide FWKVV (Phe-Trp-Lys-Val-Val) and Its Activity as Antioxidants
Get PDFAntioxidant pentapeptides are pentapeptide compounds that have antioxidant activity. One of the pentapeptide compounds that have antioxidant activity is FWKVV. FWKVV is a linear pentapeptide with the amino acid sequence phenylalanine-tryptophan-lysine-valine-valine, which was first isolated to hydrolyzate the muscle protein of Miiuy croaker (Miichthysmiiuy). In addition to isolation, FWKVV compounds can be produced by the peptide synthesis method because this method requires a shorter time than the isolation method from natural materials. Synthesis methods commonly used are solution-phase peptide synthesis and solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). However, the SPSS method is more efficient because it does not require purification in every process. The purpose of this study was to synthesize FWKVV compounds using the SPPS method and test their antioxidant activity. FWKVV has been synthesized using the SPPS method with HBTU/HOBt coupling reagent and Fmoc protective group. The FWKVV crud produced was 148.8 mg and had antioxidant activity against DPPH radicals with an IC50 value of 4.2 mg/mL
Synthesis of Methyl Ester Nitrate from Mahogany Seed Oil (Swietenia mahagoni Linn)
Get PDFNitration of methyl ester from mahogany oil (Swietenia mahagoniLinn) can be produced by Methyl Ester Nitrate (MEN), an additive that is useful for increasing Cetane Numbers in diesel fuel. This study aims to determine the yield of MEN that can be produced from mahogany seed oil after esterification, trans-esterification, and nitration and to identify the MEN compounds produced. Mahogany oil is obtained by pressing mahogany seeds and then degumming to remove the gum. Mahogany oil-free gum is esterified using methanol with the mole ratio of oil: methanol (1: 6), then trans-esterified, also using methanol with mole ratio (1:15) and a methyl ester is obtained. Then the methyl ester was nitrated with HNO3, sulfuric acid, and acetic anhydride to obtain a translucent reddish colored MEN product with a yield of 24.99%. The success of the synthesis was shown by the FTIR spectrophotometer in the presence of absorption at 1550 cm-1 which indicated the presence of the C-ONO2 group, the absorption at 1365 cm-1 indicated the presence of the NO2 group, and at 1118 cm-1 indicated the presence of the C-N group. The reaction mechanism that occurs during the predicted nitration reaction is an electrophilic substitution reaction and nucleophilic addition
