Judul: Antioxidant Capacity and Inhibitory Activity of Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 by Curcuminoids from the tert-Butanol Fraction of Javanese Turmeric
Abstrak: Temulawak mengandung metabolit sekunder kurkuminoid yang dapat berperan sebagai antioksidan dan berpotensi menghambat enzim matriks metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) secara simulasi penambatan molekul. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengukur kapasitas antioksidan dan aktivitas inhibisi MMP-1 oleh fraksi tert-butanol rimpang temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza). Metode ekstraksi dilakukan dengan maserasi dengan pelarut etanol 96%. Hasil maserasi difraksinasi menggunakan ammonium sulfat 30% dan tert-butanol:aquades (1:1). Kadar kurkuminoid dianalisis menggunakan High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) dengan kadar kurkuminoid total sebesar 92,54 mg/g. Kapasitas antioksidan fraksi tert-butanol temulawak diuji menggunakan metode CUPRAC dan ABTS dengan diperoleh berturut-turut sebesar 552,74 ± 39,15 dan 529,94 ± 48,89 µmol AAE/g fraksi. Uji penghambatan MMP-1 menggunakan substrat tiopeptida menunjukkan fraksi tert-butanol temulawak dapat berperan sebagai inhibitor dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 33,12 µg/mL., Javanese turmeric contained secondary metabolites of curcuminoids that can act as antioxidants and potentially inhibit the enzyme matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) by simulating molecular docking. This study aimed to measure the antioxidant capacity and inhibitory activity of MMP-1 by tert-butanol fraction of Javanese turmeric rhizome (Curcuma xanthorrhiza). The extraction method was carried out by maceration with 96% ethanol solvent. The results of maceration were liquid:liquid fractionation using 30% ammonium sulfate and tert-butanol:distilled water (1:1). Curcuminoid levels were analyzed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), resulting the total curcuminoid content was 92.54 mg/g. The antioxidant capacity of the temulawak tert-butanol fraction was tested using the CUPRAC and ABTS methods resulting 552.74 ± 39.15 and 529.94 ± 48.89 µmol AAE/g fraction. Matrix metalloproteinase-1 inhibition test using thiopeptide substrate showed temulawak tert-butanol fraction can act as an inhibitor with an IC50 value of 33.12 µg/mL.

Judul: Pengaruh Jenis Pelarut terhadap Total Terpenoid dan Kapasitas Antioksidan Ekstrak Rimpang Temulawak  (Curcuma zanthorrhiza)
Abstrak: Temulawak (Curcuma zanthorrhiza) merupakan tanaman asli Indonesia mengandung antioksidan dan terpenoid yang mampu menangkal radikal bebas. Sampel rimpang temulawak diekstraksi dengan berbagai jenis pelarut diperlukan untuk mendapatkan senyawa bioaktif temulawak terbaik secara kuantitatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan pengaruh berbagai jenis pelarut ekstraksi terhadap total terpenoid dan kapasitas antioksidan rimpang temulawak. Sampel diekstraksi dengan gabungan metode sonikasi dan maserasi. Tahapan penelitian meliputi pengujian kadar total terpenoid rimpang temulawak, kemudian dilanjutkan pengujian kapasitas antioksidan dengan metode DPPH, CUPRAC, FRAP, dan ABTS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kadar total terpenoid terbesar dihasilkan oleh pelarut H (heksan p.a) sebesar 243.74 ± 8.13a mg UA/g DW dan kapasitas antioksidan terbesar dihasilkan oleh metode FRAP dengan pelarut aseton sebesar 131.25 ± 4.33a. Berdasarkan data dapat disimpulkan terpenoid bukan merupakan komponen utama senyawa antioksidan pada rimpang temulawak karena perbedaan pelarut yang dihasilkan antara data kapasitas antioksidan dan kadar total terpenoid., Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) is a plant native to Indonesia that contains antioxidants and terpenoids which are able to ward off free radicals. Temulawak rhizome samples were extracted with various types of solvents to obtain the best bioactive compounds in curcuma quantitatively. This research aimed to determine the effect of various types of extraction solvents on the total terpenoids and antioxidant capacity of curcuma rhizomes. Samples were extracted by a combination of sonication and maceration methods. The research stages included testing the total terpenoid content of curcuma rhizomes, then continued with testing the antioxidant capacity using the DPPH, CUPRAC, FRAP, and ABTS methods. The results showed that the highest total terpenoid content was produced by the H solvent (hexane p.a) of 243.74 ± 8.13a mg UA/g DW and the largest antioxidant capacity was produced by the FRAP method with acetone solvent of 131.25 ± 4.33a. Based on the data, it can be concluded that terpenoids are not the main component of antioxidant compounds in curcuma rhizomes due to differences in the solvent produced between antioxidant capacity data and total terpenoid levels.

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.
