AbstractThe chloroform extract of Ferula persica var. persica roots was found to inhibit red pigment production of Serratia marcescens. A bioguided fractionation study by preparative thin layer chromatography (PTLC) detected a fraction (Rf = 0.71, petroleum ether/EtOAc, 2:1 v/v), which was effective on depigmentation of Serratia marcescens. Using conventional spectroscopy methods, the active fraction was identified as umbelliprenin. Neither the chloroform extract nor the isolated umbelliprenin fraction showed any antibacterial activity against the test strain at a certain concentration. In contrast, they exhibited depigmentation zones on culture plates.

Objective: The objective of this research was to separate flavonoids of kepel (Stelechocarpus burahol) leaves from methanol extract as antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus epidermidis that have a role in body odor.Methods: The methanol extracts of kepel was fractionated in methanol: water (7:3), n-hexane and chloroform consecutively. Methanol: water (7:3) extract with the highest flavonoids content, fractioned by silica gel column chromatography (isocratic elution, with n-buthanol: methanol: acetic acid (1:8:1) as eluent) to produce 7 fractions. All fractions were tested for antibacterial activity with a microdilution method. The most active fractions was determined using UV-VIS spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Japan) and FTIR (Brucker, Germany).Results: Fraction V was the most active fraction with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 0.06 mg/ml and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 0.50 mg/ml. Fraction V was further separated by preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC) and gave three fractions. Fraction V3 was the most active fraction with MIC 1.00 mg/ml and MBC of 2.00 mg/ml. Identification of fraction V3 based on assessments on ultraviolet-visible and infrared spectrum showed the maximum wavelength at 327 nm. These results indicate a transition π → π * and n → π * generated from the chromophore conjugated C = C and C = O. Based on the allegations of the functional group obtained, then alleged that in Fraction V3 containing flavones compounds.Conclusion: These results suggest that flavonoid of S. burahol leaves extracts is potential as antibacterial agents against S. epidermidisand therefore justifies their usage in traditional medicine for the treatment of body odor.

<p>Marine sponges Cinachyrella sp. (Family:Tetillidae) in Kukup beach, Kemadang Village, Tanjungsari District, Gunung Kidul, DIY were producing diversity secondary metabolites such as polyketides, alkaloids, peptide and terpene. The purpose of this study was investigated proliferation inhibitory activity of active fraction Cinachyrella sp. against cell line T47D. Sponges samples were collected manually from rocky substrate at depth 0.5 m. The sponges was minced and extracted with 95% ethanol. The ethanol extract was partitioned sequentially with ethyl acetate. The extract ethyl acetate was fractionation with 4 organic solvent, in increasing order of polarity with vacuum liquid chromatography column (VLC) method. Doubling time method was applied to analyse the inhibition proliferative cell line T47D. Resulted showed ethyl acetate extract of Cinachyrella sp. were 12 fractions and all tested fraction obtained by thin layer chromatography (TLC).

<p>Prodigiosin, the red pigment produced<br />by the bacterium Serratia marcescens, is a secondary<br />metabolite of the family tripyrrole that has been widely used<br />as an antibiotic in the multifunction treatment of<br />antibacterial as well as antifungal. This study was aimed to<br />study the effect of Luria-Bertani (LB) broth and nutrient<br />broth (NB) media suplemented with several concentrations<br />of FeSO4 and CaCO3 on the production and characteristic of<br />prodigiosin derived from S. marcescens. The study was<br />arranged in a completely randomized factorial design with<br />four replications. The LB and NB media were supplemented<br />with 0, 2.5, 5, and 10 mM CaCO3 and 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mM<br />FeSO4. Results showed a red pigment produced by S.<br />marcescens when cultured on both LB and NB media. Redlike<br />pigmentation was varied when supplemented with<br />different concentration of Fe2+ and Ca2+. The higher the<br />concentration of Fe2+, the more intense the red color,<br />conversely, the higher the concentration of Ca2+, the lighter<br />the red color. The interaction was found between the media<br />and concentrations of CaCO3 and FeSO4 on the production<br />of prodigiosin. The highest prodigiosin production was<br />obtained on NB media supplemented with FeSO4.<br />Meanwhile, the addition of CaCO3 did not affect the<br />prodigiosin production. An addition of 1 mM FeSO4 to LB<br />and NB media produced crude prodigiosin of 486.0 mg/ml<br />and 489.0 mg/ml, respectively. Based on purification by<br />column chromatography using silica gel, the prodigiosin<br />production on LB and NB media was 378 mg/ml and 450<br />mg/ml, with the purity level of 77.8% and 92%, respectively.<br />Detection of prodigiosin by thin-layer chromatography using<br />silica gel showed the red pigment had Rf value of 0.83 and<br />bioautography assay showed there was an antibacterial<br />activity against Xanthomanas oryzae pv. oryzae.</p>

An experiment was carried out to investigate the efficacy of contact toxicity of different fractions of petroleum ether extract of Zinziber cassumunar Roxb. rhizome against Tribolium castaneum. Seventy-eight different fractions of petroleum ether extract were obtained from column chromatography. Elutes having the similar TLC behavior were combined in eight fractions and were named as: MN-1, MN-2, MN-3, MN-4, MN-5, MN-6, MN-7 and MN-8. Four separate fractions were collected from the MN-1 fraction by preparative thin layer chromatography. These four parts were washed with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol. Thereafter, these were separated by small column and designated as: M1N1, M1N2, M1N3, M1N4, M2N1, M2N2, M2N3, M2N4, M3N1, M3N2, M3N3, M3N4, M4N1 and M4N2. Fractions of M1N2, M2N2, M3N2 and M4N2 were found to be the most effective against the beetle T. castaneum after 24, 48 and 72 hours. However, some fractions exhibited the moderate effect and other fractions did not work against the beetle.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 50(2), 143-152, 2015
