Judul: Molecular Docking of Javanese Long Pepper (Piper retrofractum) Active Compound as Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Inhibitor
Abstrak: Peningkatan lipogenesis de novo secara kronis perlu dihambat karena dikaitkan dengan berbagai penyakit dan gangguan. Asetil-KoA karboksilase (ACC) merupakan enzim penentu laju dalam lintasan tersebut. Senyawa aktif dalam cabai jawa terbukti mampu menurunkan aktivitas enzim ACC. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi senyawa aktif cabai jawa yang dapat menghambat asetil-KoA karboksilase melalui studi penambatan molekuler serta menganalisis interaksi molekuler yang terbentuk. Senyawa aktif cabai jawa diseleksi melalui penapisan virtual menggunakan perangkat lunak YASARA Structure, prediksi kemiripan dengan obat, serta prediksi farmakokinetik dan toksisitas. Sejumlah empat senyawa aktif dalam cabai jawa lolos pada semua tahap penyaringan sehingga berpotensi menghambat ACC. Potensi terbaik ditunjukkan oleh ligan uji N-sinamoilpiperidin. N-sinamoilpiperidin memiliki nilai ΔG yang paling negatif (-7,930 kkal mol-1) dan nilai Kd yang paling kecil (1,538979 μM) di antara empat ligan yang lolos. Interaksi N-sinamoilpiperidin dengan reseptor juga paling serupa dengan ligan alami dengan 11 residu memiliki tipe interaksi sama dan 2 di antaranya merupakan residu penting., Chronic increases in de novo lipogenesis should be inhibited because they have been associated with a wide variety of diseases and disorders. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is the rate-limiting enzyme in this pathway. The active compounds in javanese long pepper have been shown to reduce the activity of ACC. This research aims to identify the active compounds of javanese long pepper that can inhibit acetyl-CoA carboxylase through a molecular docking study and analyze the molecular interactions formed. The active compounds of javanese long pepper were selected through virtual screening using YASARA Structure software, prediction of drug-likeness, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity. Four active chemicals of javanese long pepper passed all levels of screening, showing that they have the potential to inhibit ACC. The best potency was shown by N-cinamoylpiperidine. N-cinnamoylpiperidine had the most negative ΔG value (-7,930 kcal mol-1) and the lowest Kd value (1,538979 M) among the four screened ligands. N-cinnamoylpiperidine interaction with the receptor was also most similar to the native ligand with 11 residues exhibiting the same type of interaction and two of them are important residues.

Judul: Identifikasi Senyawa Aktif Lengkuas (Alpinia galanga) Dengan LC-MS dan Potensinya Sebagai Inhibitor Lipase Pankreas Secara In Silico
Abstrak: Prevalensi penderita obesitas yang terus meningkat setiap tahunnya, serta risiko komplikasi yang ditimbulkan membuat perhatian besar saat ini. Orlistat berefek buruk karena sifatnya yang bekerja dengan menginhibisi enzim lipase pankreas secara ireversibel. Lengkuas banyak ditemukan di Indonesia diketahui dapat berperan sebagai antiobesitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi senyawa aktif lengkuas yang berpotensi memiliki aktivitas inhibisi enzim lipase pankreas dengan menggunakan YASARA. Senyawa aktif lengkuas diekstrak menggunakan etanol 70% dan diidentifikasi menggunakan LC-MS/MS QToF serta dilakukan studi pustaka. Sebanyak 8 senyawa berhasil diidentifikasi menggunakan LC-MS/MS QToF dan termasuk golongan polifenol, fenolik, terpen, dan flavonoid, serta terdapat 38 senyawa yang hasil studi pustaka. Terdapat 4 senyawa aktif lengkuas memiliki potensi antiobesitas dengan empat yang terbaik yaitu, galangin, galaganol C, isorhamnetin, dan kampferide. Galangin menjadi senyawa yang paling potensial menjadi kandidat antiobesitas pada tanaman lengkuas., The prevalence of obesity, which continues to increase every year, as well as the risk of complications caused by it, is of great concern today. Orlistat has adverse effects because it works by irreversibly inhibiting the pancreatic lipase. Galangal, found in Indonesia, is known to act as an antiobesity agent. This study aimed to identify active compounds of galangal that have the potential to inhibit pancreatic lipase using YASARA. The active compounds of galangal were extracted using 70% ethanol and identified using LC-MS/MS QToF and literature study. A total of 8 compounds were successfully identified using LC-MS/MS QToF and included polyphenols, phenolics, terpenes, and flavonoids, and there were 38 compounds from literature studies. There are 4 active compounds that have antiobesity potential with the four best ones, namely, galangin, galaganol C, isorhamnetin, and kaempferol. Galangin is the most potential compound to be an antiobesity candidate in galangal plants.

Judul: Photosensor producing based on ferroelectric material of Ba0,5Sr0,5TiO3 doped by Ferrium Oxide (Fe2O3) on a P-Type Silicon Substate Si (100) applied as a digital camera with a single pixel image sensor
Abstrak: Thin film Ba0,5Sr0,5TiO3 (BST) doped with Fe2O3 was grown on p-type silicon substrate (100) using chemical solution deposition (CSD). It used the solvent 2-methoxyethanol with annealing temperature of 850°C and the doping treatment Fe2O3 of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 % of the mass formed BST. Pure BST had the highest absorption of 600 nm of light wavelength. Additions Fe2O3 moves highest absorption in the range of 560 nm. Fe2O3 addition was strengthening thin film sensitivity to the effects of light. In general, doping Fe2O3 10% was result the best absorbance and current-voltage of BST thin film. Electrical properties of thin films BST include dielectric, photoconductivity, and dissipation energy. Based on the current-voltage (I-V) analysis, pure BST and doped BST showed photodiode properties. Dielectric values obtained in the range from 23.32 to 243. Based on electrical conductivity data and energy dissipation, BST thin films have shown photodiode characteristics and are therefore suitable as light sensors. The image sensor in a digital camera is also a light sensor. This BST thin film has been scientifically proven to be a light sensor and also it can be applied as an image sensor. This is a novelty image sensor based on thin film Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3.
