Judul: Inhibition of Pegagan (Centellaasiatica) and Tempuyung (Sonchusarvensis) Extracts towards Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity
Abstrak: Pegagan dan tempuyung merupakan tanaman obat yang berpotensi sebagai antihipertensi. Ekstrak tanaman ini diteliti daya inhibisinya terhadap aktivitas enzim pengubah angiotensin I (ACE) secara in vitro. Penelitian dilakukan pada kondisi optimum menggunakan ekstrak tunggal dengan konsentrasi 50, 100, dan 150 ppm serta ekstrak gabungan dengan komposisi tertentu. Hasilnya dibandingkan dengan kaptopril sebagai kontrol positif. Uji inhibisi ACE dengan ekstrak tunggal pegagan dan tempuyung 50 ppm menghasilkan daya inhibisi paling tinggi yaitu 54% dan 31%. Esktrak gabungan pegagan tempuyung menghasilkan daya inhibisi yang lebih rendah dibandingkan ekstrak tunggal pegagan, yaitu 45% berbanding 54%. Kaptopril memiliki daya inhibisi yang paling tinggi dibandingkan ekstrak tunggal maupun gabungan, yaitu 88%. Kata Kunci: Inhibisi ACE, kaptopril, pegagan, tempuyung, Pegagan and tempuyung are medicinal plants potential as antihypertension. Extracts of these plants were investigated towards angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity in vitro. The study was conducted at the optimum condition by using 50,100 and 150 ppm of single extract concentration, and combined extracts with specific compositions. The results were compared with captopril as positive control. Inhibition test of ACE with single extracts showed that 50 ppm pegagan and tempuyung have the highest inhibition of 54% and 31%. The combined extracts of pegagan and tempuyung showed lower inhibition than single pegagan extract, i.e. 45% versus 54%. Captopril still indicated the highest inhibition (88%) as compared to single or combined extracts. Key words: ACE inhibition, captopril, pegagan, tempuyung

Judul: Inhibisi Ekstrak Etanol Kumis Kucing, Pegagan, Sambiloto, dan Tempuyung terhadap Aktivitas Enzim Pengubah Angiotensin I secara In Vitro
Abstrak: Kumis kucing, pegagan, sambiloto, and tempuyung are medicinal plants potential as antihypertension. Thirty percent ethanol extracts of these plants were investigated towards angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity in vitro. The research was conducted at the optimum condition (32 °C of incubation temperature, pH 8.3, and 25 mU/mL of ACE concentration) by using 14, 25, 50, and 100 ppm of single extract concentration, and combined extract with specific compositions. The results were compared with captopril as positive control. Inhibition test of ACE with single extracts showed that 50 ppm of kumis kucing, 100 ppm of pegagan, 100 ppm of sambiloto, and 14 ppm of tempuyung have the highest inhibition of 76.98, 58.69, 53.74, and 62.89%, respectively. Combined extract of kumis kucing, pegagan, and tempuyung of 25:50:7 ratio showed 76.87% inhibition, higher than captopril.

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.
