Indonesia is the most mangrove-rich country, both in terms of area quantity and number of species. Mangrove plants have potential as a source of medicinal compounds. Bruguiera gymnorrhiza is a type of mangrove plant which is a source of medicinal plants from the Rhizoporaceae family. Ethanol extract of the stem bark of B. gymnorhiza has been known to have cytotoxic activity with an IC50 of 508.19 µg/mL against myeloma cancer cells (Rahmah, 2021). The aim of this study was to determine the toxicity of lindur fruit peel extract (B. gymnorrhiza) on Artemia salina Leach shrimp larvae. Lindur fruit peel extraction was carried out by maceration method using methanol solvent which was then fractionated with n-hexane and ethyl acetate as solvent. All extract fractions obtained were then tested for toxicity against shrimp larvae Artemia salina Leach by BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method. Extract fractions with the highest toxicity were identified for their bioactive compounds using UV-Visible and FT-IR spectrophotometers. The results of the toxicity test showed that the lindur fruit peel extract was toxic to A. salina L. and the most toxic fraction was the n-hexane fraction with an LC50 value of 34.109 ppm. The results of the analysis using UV-Visible and FT-IR spectrophotometers the active compound in the hexane fraction of lindur fruit extract (B. gymnorrhiza) contains terpenoid which has double bond conjugated that showed by the existence of an electronic transition of π →π* that was conjugated and there are clusters of -OH, C=O, C=C, aromatic, C-H and C-O groups.

Sargassum polycystum merupakan alga cokelat penghasil polisakarida sulfat yang memiliki aktivitas farmakologi yang menjanjikan. Selama ini metode ekstraksi polisakarida sulfat masih bersifat konvensional (seperti maserasi, sokletasi, dan refluks) yang memerlukan waktu ekstraksi relatif lama (4-6 jam). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengekstraksi polisakarida sulfat menggunakan metode Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) serta melakukan uji toksisitasnya. Karakterisasi ekstrak polisakarida sulfat menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Visible dan Fourier Transform Infrared (FT- IR). Uji toksisitas terhadap larva Artemia salina Leach dilakukan dengan metode Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). Hasil ekstraksi polisakarida sulfat diperoleh rendemen sebesar 3,42±0,01% dimana tidak jauh berbeda dari metode konvensional. Hasil perhitungan bobot susut pengeringan polisakarida sulfat 7,60±0,085%. Karakterisasi polisakarida sulfat dengan spektrofotometer UV- Visible diperoleh panjang gelombang optimum pada 270 nm. Hasil spektrum FT-IR terdapat gugus fukosa yang dihubungkan oleh gugus sulfat dan O-Sulfat yang mengindikasikan adanya fukoidan. Selain itu masih ditemukan peregangan ester C=O yang menunjukan adanya asam uronat. Asam tersebut merupakan penyusun alginat dimana bukan merupakan polisakarida sulfat. Dari uji toksisitas diperoleh nilai LC50 polisakarida sulfat terhadap larva A. salina Leach sebesar 113,11 mg/mL yang tergolong kategori toksik. Ekstraksi polisakarida sulfat menggunakan MAE dapat mempercepat waktu ekstraksi dibandingkan dengan metode konvensional, tetapi perlu dilakukan tahap selanjutnya untuk menghilangkan senyawa pengotor lainnya seperti asam uronat. ABSTRACTSargassum polycystum, a brown algae, produces sulfate polysaccharides that have promising pharmacological activity. To date, the extraction of sulfate polysaccharide is still conventional (such as maceration, shoxletation and reflux) and requires a relatively long time (4-6 h). This study aims to extract the sulfate polysaccharides using the Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) and assess the toxycity. Sulfate polysaccharide extract was characterized by UV-Visible and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometer and tested for its toxicity against Artemia salina Leach larvae using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. The yield of sulfate polysaccharide extraction was 3.42±0.01% which is not much different from conventional methods, but the advantage of the MAE method is in terms of time efficiency. The result of the calculation of the drying shrinkage weight of the sulfate polysaccharide is 7.60±0.085%. Characterization of sulfate polysaccharide using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer obtained an optimum wavelength at 270 nm. Based on spectra of FT-IR, it was identified that there are fucose groups which are connected by sulfate and O-Sulfate groups which indicates the presence of fucoidan. In addition, there was still a stretch of ester C=O which indicates the presence of uronic acid. The acid is a constituent of alginate which is not a sulfate polysaccharide. The LC50 value of sulfate polysaccharide against A. salina Leach larvae was 113.11 mg/mL which was classified as toxic. The extraction of sulfate polysaccharides using MAE can speed up the extraction time compared to conventional method, but a further step is needed to remove other impurities such as uronic acid

Background: The only remedy for up surging problem of antibiotic resistance is the discovery of antibacterial agents of natural origin. Objective: The present study was aimed at finding antibacterial potential of crude and solvent extracts of mature leaves of Plumeria pudica. Methods: Antibacterial activity of three different solvent extracts were evaluated in four human and four fish pathogenic bacteria by measuring the zone of inhibition and determining Minimum Inhibitory Concentration and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration values. Standard antibiotics were used as positive control. Preliminary phytochemical screening of most effective extract i.e., ethyl acetate extract, Fourier Transform Infra Red analysis and GC-MS analysis of the Thin Layer Chromatographic (TLC) fraction of ethyl acetate extract were done meticulously. All experiments were done thrice and analyzed statistically. Results: Crude leaf extracts and solvent extracts caused good inhibition of bacterial growth in all selected bacteria. Ethyl acetate extract showed highest inhibition zones in all tested strains with maximum inhibition (19.50±0.29 mm) in Escherichia coli (MTCC 739). MBC/MIC of the extracts indicated that all three solvent extracts were bactericidal. Preliminary phytochemical tests revealed the presence of tannins, steroids and alkaloids and FT-IR analysis revealed presence of many functional groups namely alcoholic, amide, amine salt and aldehyde groups. From the GC-MS analysis of TLC fraction of ethyl acetate extract five different bioactive compounds e.g., 2,4-ditert –butylphenyl 5-hydroxypentanoate, Oxalic acid; allyl nonyl ester, 7,9-Ditert-butyl-1-oxaspiro(4,5)deca-6,9-diene-2,8-dione, Dibutyl phthalate and 2,3,5,8-tetramethyl-decane were identified. Conclusion: Leaf extracts of P. pudica contain bioactive compounds that can be used as broad spectrum bactericidal agent.

The solubility of the compound is a crucial task for new drug design. Quinone is a promising candidate to develop as a new drug. In this research, the synthesis of 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives, that is, 2-(5-bromoamyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2a) and 2-(5-bromoamyl)-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2b) were carried out by decarboxylation and insertion reaction of alkyl bromides. The product 2a and 2b are purified using SiO2 gel column chromatography and analyzed by UV-Visible, FT-IR, and NMR. The yield of 2a is 13.75%, and 2b is 4.04%. The solubility of 2a and 2b, expressed by log P, is measured in the n-octanol/water (3:7 (v/v)) system by the shake flask method. The log P of 2a and 2b are 2.99 and 1.36, respectively. It is showed that the log P of 2a is higher compared to 2b. The presence of two methyl substituents on the quinone ring of 2a supports the increase of hydrophobicity of the compound in the n-octanol/water system.
