The basic material used for manufacturing the M-curcumin complex compound in this study was curcumin from turmeric rhizome extract added to Cu2+, Co2+, and Ag+ metal ions. The results of the synthesis of the M-curcumin complex were characterized by FTIR and Uv-Vis spectrophotometers. The FTIR spectrophotometer test showed a curcumin compound in the viscous curcumin extract, characterized by an absorption wave number corresponding to the curcumin compound. In the M-curcumin complex, the bond between the metal and the ligand only appears in the Co-curcumin complex at the absorption number of 498.77 cm -1. The results of the UV-Vis spectrophotometer test showed that the maximum wavelength absorption in curcumin extract was 430 nm (abs = 0.688), Cu-Curcumin complex lmax 300 nm (abs = 2.573), Co-curcumin complex lmax 425 nm (abs = 1.067), and complex Ag-Curcumin lmax 430 nm (abs = 1.36). The UV-Vis and FTIR characterization showed that the Co-curcumin complex has good potential compared to the organic compounds (curcumin) and can be used as an alternative photosensitizer in solar cells","PeriodicalId":7071,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chimica Asiana","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82482111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various methods have recycled domestic wastewater. One is through the photodegradation process utilizing ultraviolet light in the photocatalytic process. Inorganic materials are semiconductors with photocatalyst activity that can absorb photons and simultaneously carry out material interface transformation reactions. The research aimed to determine the effect of adding Fe metal dopants on TiO2 photocatalyst activity in simulated methylene blue and domestic waste treatment. The precursor used was TiO2 P25 Degussa Anatase. Fe dopant was added using the hydrothermal method with variations of 2%, 4%, and 6%. The XRD characterization results show that TiO2 has a high degree of crystallinity, so the overall process of electron diffusion and electron transfer in SSPT is higher to increase its efficiency. SEM-EDX characterization results show that TiO2-Fe particles are scattered in a spherical shape with a size of less than (<)100 nm and tend to agglomerate. Test results of simulated methylene blue (MB) waste with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at variations in mass, concentration, pH, and time showed that the addition of doping could increase photocatalytic activity and optimum conditions at 6% (F6) were used in the analysis of parameters pH, COD and TSS of domestic wastewater. The pH value increased from 5 to 6, % COD degradation was 59.17%, and TSS was 23.07%. This research showed that TiO2-Fe was effective enough for domestic wastewater treatment.","PeriodicalId":7071,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chimica Asiana","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74321882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through in vitro and in silico testing, the purpose of this investigation is to learn more about the bioactive components and antibacterial activity of n-heksan, etilasetat, and etanol obtained from the extracts of the jackfruit parasite plant (Macrosolen cochinchinensis (Lour.) van Tiegh. The disc diffusion method was used for the in vitro testing, and the molecular docking method was used for the in silico testing, both of which were conducted against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 12600 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Each sample extract was prepared in three different concentrations (10%, 30%, and 50%), while chloramphenicol was used as the positive control. Inhibition zones of the extract against E. coli bacteria were found to be as follows: 6 mm, 8.4 mm, and 10.6 mm for the n-hexane extract; 8.2 mm, 10.7 mm, and 15.6 mm for the ethyl acetate extract; and 6 mm, 7.1 mm, and 14.1 mm for the methanol extract. The results of the test to determine the extract's antibacterial activity were as follows: The following is a list of the zones of inhibition that the extract has against S. aureus bacteria: 6 mm, 7.5 mm, and 13.7 mm in diameter for the extract of n-hexane; 12.8 mm, 14.2 mm, and 19.2 mm in diameter for the extract of ethyl acetate. Test results of 7.2 mm, 9.3 mm, and 15.3 mm were obtained for the methanol extract. In accordance with the findings of the study, the ethyl acetate extract of jackfruit parasite leaves exhibited the highest level of antibacterial activity, as measured by an inhibition zone diameter of 19.2 mm, when tested on S. aureus bacteria. In the meantime, the results of molecular docking of punicalin and rutin, which have been reported to have activity against proteins 6GOS.pdb and 1OJZ.pdb, have potential as antibacterials because they form 5 and 9 hydrogen bonds with important amino acids of the target protein, with cDOCKER values of -57.9239 and -88.3993, respectively. This suggests that punicalin and rutin have the ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria.","PeriodicalId":7071,"journal":{"name":"Acta Chimica Asiana","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73306208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
