Sektor kelautan dan perikanan merupakan salah satu sumber andalan dalam produksi pembangunan perikanan di Indonesia. Udang merupakan salah satu komoditas unggulan utama dalam menunjang produksi pendapatan devisa non migas. Untuk mencapai target produksi sesuai dengan yang diharapkan, berbagai permasalahan menghambat upaya peningkatan produksi tersebut, antara lain kegagalan produksi akibat penyakit oleh bakteri Vibrio, sehingga penyakit ini dikenal sebagai ‘vibriosis’. Salah satu pencarian senyawa yang bersifat antibakteri adalah dengan cara melakukan penapisan terhadap senyawa-senyawa alam. Salah satu sumber senyawa alam adalah dari tumbuhan Tephrosia vogelii. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengisolasi senyawa dari tumbuhan T. vogelii sebagai sumber senyawa antibakteri terhadap dua bakteri Vibrio yaitu Vibrio alginolitycus dan Vibrio harveyi. Bahan ekstrak dibuat dengan metode maserasi menggunakan pelarut aseton, sementara uji antibakteri dilakukan dengan metode difusi agar secara in vitro. Deguelin dan tefrosin kemudian diisolasi dari ekstrak aseton daun T. vogelii. dengan metode difusi agar senyawa deguelin memberikan nilai inhibisi 6,3 mm terhadap V. harveyi dan 6,2 mm terhadap V alginolitycus. Sedangkan  tefrosin memberikan nilai inhibisi 6,3 mm terhadap V. harveyi dan 6,6 mm terhadap V alginolitycus. Ini adalah evaluasi antibakteri pertama dari deguelin dan tefrosin terhadap dua bakteri yang diuji

Tephrosia vogelii Hook.f. is a species of the family Fabaceae (Leguminoceae). These plants are termed ″Polong-polongan″ in Indonesia, and are known to contain active flavonoid groups. Previous studies have shown the isolation of one known flavanone: isolonchocarpin from methanol extract, and the structure obtained was established based on chemical evidence as well as spectroscopic methods, including NMR, and also by a comparison with published data. This research is aimed at evaluating the cytotoxic property of methanol extract against larvae of Arthemia salina Leach, using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method. The results show potent cytotoxicity at LC50 of 41.40 ppm

Aktivitas Sitotoksik Alkaloid Dari Cryptocarya archboldiana Allen

ABSTRAK Cryptocarya merupakan salah satu genus terbesar dari famili Lauraceae dan sebagian besar spesiesnya tumbuh di hutan hujan tropis Asia-Pasifik antara lain hutan di Indonesia. Secara umum genus Cryptocarya mengandung metabolit sekunder utama golongan alkaloid, 2-piron dan flavonoid serta memiliki berbagai aktivitas biologis. Tiga senyawa alkaloid yang telah dikenal telah diisolasi dari tumbuhan Cryptocarya archboldiana; boldin, laurolitsin, dan retikulin. Struktur molekul ketiga senyawa tersebut telah ditetapkan berdasarkan analisis spektroskopi (UV, 1H dan 13C NMR) serta perbandingan dengan data spektrum senyawa yang telah dilaporkan. Senyawa laurolitsin menunjukkan aktivitas sitoksisitas yang moderat, sedangkan boldin dan retikulin memiliki aktivitas yang lemah terhadap sel murine leukemia P388. Kata kunci: C. archboldiana, alkaloid, sitotoksik, aporfin, benzilisokuinolin. ABSTRACT Cryptocarya is one of the largest genus of Lauraceae and most of the species grow in the tropical rain forests of Asia-Pacific, include in Indonesian forest. Generally Cryptocarya contains alkaloids, 2-piron, and flavonoids as well as has a variety of biological activities. Three alkaloids have been isolated from Cryptocarya archboldiana; boldine, laurolitsine, and reticuline. The molecular structure of all these compounds have been established by spectroscopic analysis (UV, 1H, and 13C NMR) and comparison with the spectral data of compounds that have been reported. The cytotoxic of laurolitsine showed moderate activity, while boldine and reticuline have weak activity against P388 murine leukemia cells. Key words: C. archboldiana, alkaloid, cytotoxic, aporphine, benzylisoquinoline

Synthesis of Human Antibodies Against HBsAg in Newly Established Chinese Hamster Lung (CHL-YN) Cell Line

Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) is an effective treatment for hepatitis B, including postexposure prophylaxis of HBV infection, prevention of HBV reinfection in liver transplant patients, and reducing sexual transmission. This study investigated the synthesis of human IgG antibodies that specifically target HBsAg subtype adr in CHL-YN cells, a newly established cell line that grows faster than CHO-K1. To achieve the synthesis of human IgG antibodies, a plasmid vector encoding DNA sequences for human IgG antibodies against HBsAg was constructed and then transiently transfected into CHL-YN cells. The expression and antigen-binding capacity of the recombinant human IgG antibodies were analyzed using western blot and ELISA. The results showed successful expression and secretion of human IgG antibodies that recognize HBsAg subtype adr in CHL-YN cells. The ELISA test confirmed the specificity of the human IgG antibodies towards HBsAg subtype adr. Thus, this study concluded that human IgG antibodies that target HBsAg subtype adr were transiently expressed in CHL-YN cells
