The research about molecular weight and functional group analysis of low molecular weight liquid cyclic natural rubber has been done. The aim of this research is to achievement the quality of low molecular weight of liquid cyclic natural rubber. This research has been made in several steps such as preparation of the sample of rubber, the process of molecular degradation of cyclic rubber, and characterization of LCNR by using FTIR, GPC and viscosity test. Degradation is done with the help of the phenylhydrazine reagent with oxygen gas atmosphere with a flow rate of 2 LMin-1 for 24 hours. Molecular weight analysis by GPC had result the LCNR sample had a Mw is 60,556, a Mn is 6,661, and a PDI is 11,08613. The intrinsic viscosity can be used by relating it to the molecular weight by the Mark Houwink – Sakurada (MHS) equation and get the result 63.533 for LCNR molecular weight. The C-H stretching and bending region are two of the most difficult regions to interpret in infrared spectra. The ranges between 3300 to 2750 cm-1 is the C-H stretching region, is the more practical of the two regions. The frequency with which C-H bonds are obstructed is largely determined by the type of hybridization attributed to the bond. The stronger the vibrational force constant, the higher the vibration frequency.

The nanocatalyst Fe3O4 capped citric acid (Fe3O4-CA) was successfully synthesized using brown seaweed Sargassum filipendula. Sulfated polysaccharides contained in Sargassum filipendula extract contain sulfate, hydroxy, and aldehyde groups which cause Fe3+ reduction and nanoparticle stabilization. The FT-IR results of Sargassum filipendula extract showed the presence of CO-SO3 stretching vibrations at 1040 cm-1, sulfate groups at 1241 cm-1, aromatic CC at 1413 cm-1, carbonyl at 1604 cm-1, CH stretching vibrations at 2932 cm-1. 1, and the hydroxy group at 3316 cm-1. Meanwhile, citric acid was used as capping to prevent agglomeration of the synthesized nanocatalyst. Fe3O4-CA nanocatalysts were characterized using XRD, PSA, and SEM-EDX. The XRD results were processed using the Debye-Scherrer equation and the crystal size of Fe3O4-CA was 8.5 nm. PSA results show that Fe3O4-CA particles have a radius of 45.09 nm or diameter of 90.18 nm. This nanocatalyst was also tested for the synthesis of pyrimidine-derived compounds at optimum conditions using 7.5% mol of catalyst, 50 °C for 6 hours, in order to obtain a yield of 83.2%.

Research has been conducted on the study of the interaction between cyclic peptide ADTC2(Ac-CADTPPC-NH2) and E-cadherin protein using the molecular docking method. The aim of this study is to determine the position of the binding site and the energy of interaction between the ADTC2 peptide and the EC1-EC2 domain of E-kadherin. This research was divided into two parts, (1) Preliminary test using molecular dynamics (DM) method with Gromacs v4.5.4 software, (2) interaction of the peptide ADTC2 with EC1-EC2 using the molecular docking method (MD) with Autodock 4.2 software. Docking was performed with the blind dock method on EC1 and EC2 position. In the second step, the gridbox position was reduced based on the binding activity between E-cadherin and peptides. The strongest interaction and Van der Walls bonds were obtained in boxes B, C and D. The results showed that the ADTC2 peptide had a biological activity to inhibit the interaction of E-cadherin...E-cadherin by forming a complex with the EC1-EC2 domain. This inhibition occured by forming two binding sites in the EC1 domain (interaction energies are -23.309 kJ / mol and -26.234 kJ / mol, respectively) and one binding site in the EC2 domain (interaction energies are -22.677 kJ / mol). Based on preliminary tests, it can be proven that the native structure of ADTC2 is cyclic with optimization energy of -52504.78 kJ/mol and very stable from the beginning to the end of DM with an RMSD was <2 Å.

Syzygium cumini is one of the endemic plants in Indonesia that has the potential to be developed. The fruit was known to have potential as a diabetes drug. However, very few studies to determine the medicinal potential and identification of compounds of Syzygium cumini wood stem has never been studied before. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity and content of compounds in Syzygium cumini wood stem ethyl acetate fraction. The crude ethanol extract was prepared from the wood stem powder of Syzygium cumini in ethanol using maceration. Furthermore, it was carried out by the liquid-liquid fractionation process using solvents of different polarity. Antioxidant activity of the crude extract, hexane fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction was determined by spectrophotometric methods using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Analysis of bioactive compounds by using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). Identification of compounds functional groups was carried out to support the results of TLC analysis by using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR). Ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest antioxidant activity (IC50 13,62 µg/mL), followed by ethanol extract (IC50 19,64 µg/mL) and hexane fraction (IC50 61,25 µg/mL). The antioxidant activity of the acetate fraction was lower than that of ascorbic acid with an IC50 value of 2,85 µg/mL. However, this fraction has very strong antioxidant activity. The TLC analysis results showed that the sample was thought to contain an alkaloid, phenolic, flavonoid, and terpenoid. The assumption on agreement with FTIR analysis which showed functional groups were C-H, O-H, N-H, C=O, and C=C aromatics as constituents of these compounds.

The presence of high iron (Fe) content in water consumption is a major factor that causes health and aesthetic problems. Its amount in water samples can be reduced by combining the aeration and filtration methods of water treatment. The aeration method basically involves making direct contact between air and water, which is usually done by adding both together. Subsequently, the filtration method uses porous media like sand, gravel, and activated charcoal to filter water.This research compares the effectiveness of aeration, filtration, and combined aeration-filtration methods of water treatment. For the aeration method, a form of trays aerator arranged in 6 levels with a distance of 20cm is used along with a varied contact time duration of 1, 3, and 5 hours. In addition, quartz sand, activated carbon, palm fiber, and coral were used as the media for the filtration method. The results obtained as the % value of iron (Fe) removal were varied at a contact time of 1, 3, and 5 hours for both the aeration and combined aeration-filtration method, and 46.95; 78.2; 82.48; 72.32; 81.71; 87.24; and 70.44 for the filtration method shows the working effectiveness of the tools. The combination of aeration with filtration provides maximum results when compared to using aeration alone or filtration methods alone.
