Judul: Daun Pelindung Bunga Temu Lawak (Curcuma xanthorriza Roxb.) sebagai Inhibitor Tirosinase dan Antioksidan
Abstrak: The utilization a bract flower of temu lawak (C. xanthorrhiza) as tyrosinase inhibitor and antioxidant was verified by identifying its active compound. Sample of a bract flower of temu lawak was extracted with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol as well as distillation of its essential oil. Tyrosinase inhibition (monophenolase and diphenolase) and antioxidant (diphenylpicryl hydrazyl (DPPH) method) assays were performed on various extracts and essential oil of the sample. The ethyl acetate extract was the active extract with IC50 1.97 mg/mL on monophenolase, 1.57 mg/mL on diphenolase and 12.68 μg/mL on antioxidant. The ethyl acetate extract that was fractionated with column chromatography (CC) produced 12 fractions. F12 was the most active fraction from fractionation by CC that might contain flavonol-related compound based on infrared spectrophotometer analysis and phytochemical assay. A fraction with the highest yield (F1) continued fractionation by preparative thin layer chromatography (TLC) produced 2 fractions. F1.2 was the more active fraction resulted F1 fractionation using preparative TLC which might contain auron-type compound based on infrared spectrophotometer analysis and phytochemical assay

Abstrak: This study aimed to screen antioxidant compounds on leaves and flower of C. xanthorrhiza using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil) method. The flower and leaves were extracted with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Essential oil of the leaves was obtained through water distillation. Each extract and essential oil were determined for theirs antioxidant activities. The ethyl acetate extract of leaves had the best radical scavenging activity with IC50 41.50±7.80 μg/mL but not as good as ascorbic acid as the positive control with IC50 3.36±0.29 μg/mL. Fractionation performed on ethyl aceate leaves extract using silica gel column chromatography by step gradient elution with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Fractionation resulted 13 fractions (F1-F13) and the most active fraction was the F11 fraction (IC50 24.05±2.38 μg/mL). Fraction F11 was separated further by preparative thin layer chromatography and gave 8 fractions (F11.1-F11.8). Fractions F11.1 had the highest antioxidant activity with IC50 of 28.22±7.35 μg/mL. Phytochemical assay and infrared spectroscopy on F11.1 showed that the active compound as the antioxidant was flavonol. Keywords: C. xanthorrhiza, leaves, antioxidant, flavonol

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
