Eksplorasi Dan Karakterisasi Berbagai Kristal Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen is an analgesic anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal (AINS). Generally, ibuprofenhave a bad flowability because a high cohesivity. Another problem in manufacturingis the high tendency for sticking to the punches. Besides these disadvantageous properties,ibuprofen indicates bad dissolution behavior because of its hydrophobic structure.To improve the properties of ibuprofen can be used crystallization method withusing variation of solvents. In this experiment observed crystallization method bycooling, evaporation, and water presence, which used methanol, ethanol, and acetonesolvents. Of all the crystallization results are produced white prism-shaped crystalline.The selected method is cooling method, which is characterized using ScanningElectron Microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction, and Differential ScanningCalorimetry (DSC). These three characterizations indicate transformation of crystalform which compared with ibuprofen’s standard. The selected method also producesnon cohesive powder which have the size particle is 710-1180µm, compressibilityindex: IBMD 14.2%, IBED 16.6%, IBAD 17.1%; angles of repose: IBMD 28.1º,IBED 29.7º, IBAD 30.1º, and have higher solubility than the common crystal’ssolubility. The result indicates that crystallization method is able to improve flowrate,compressibility index, and dissolution rate properties of ibuprofen’s standard

Tingkat Keamanan Konsumsi Residu Karbamat dalam Buah dan Sayur Menurut Analisis Pascakolom Kromatografi Cair Kinerja Tinggi

Karbamat merupakan salah satu jenis pestisida yang banyak digunakan untuk membasmi hama buah dan sayur. Untuk menentukan bahwa residu karbamat dalam sayuran masih aman dikonsumsi manusia, telah dilakukan analisis beberapa residu karbamat seperti metomil, karbaril, karbofuran, dan propoksur. Sampel-sampel tomat, apel, selada air, kubis, dan sawi hijau dikumpulkan dari tiga supermarket dan satu pasar tradisional di Depok, Jawa Barat. Analisis dilakukan serempak untuk ke empat residu karbamat menggunakan kromatografi cair kinerja tinggi denganpereaksi o-ftalaldehida dan 2-merkaptoetanol dalam reaktor pascakolom dengan detektor fluoresensi. Dari sampel-sampel buah dan sayur yang dianalisis, hanya sawi hijau asal pasar tradisional yang positif mengandung propoksur dengan kadar 1,2 mg/25 gram berat basah (0,048 mg/g berat basah). Dengan Acceptable Daily Intake(ADI) propoksur 0,005 mg/kg berat badan/hari, konsumsi sawi hijau harian seberat 20 g/hari masih cukup aman dari gangguan kesehatan akibat pajanan kronik propoksur dengan margin of safety 298,7 (> 100 sebagai batas aman).Carbamat is a group of pesticides which is commonly used to control fruits and vegetables pests. To determine that carbamat residues in fruits and vegetables are safe for human consumption, carbamate residues such as methomyl, carbaryl, carbofuran, and propoxur in vegetables and fruits have been analyzed. Samples of tomato, apple, water lettuces, cabbage, and mustard greens were collected from three supermarkets and one traditional market in Depok, West Java. The analysis was carried out simultaneously for all four carbamate residues by high performance liquid chromatography using o-phtaladehyde and 2 mercaptoethanol reagents in post-column reactor with a fluorescence detector. Of fruits and vegetable samples analyzed, only mustard greens from traditional market positively containe propoxur at 1.2 mg/ 25 gram wet weight (0,048 mg/gram wet weight). With Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 0.005 mg/kg body weight/day, mustard greens consumption of 20 g/day is safe from adverse health effect from chronic exposure to propoxur with Margin of Safety of 298.7 (> 100 as safe limit)

Percobaan Sintesis 4-(4-Metoksibenzilidena) 2-metiloksazol-5-on Dari Asetilglisin Dan 4-Metoksibenzaldehid

Compound 4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-methyloxazole-5-one was one of oxazolone moety derivative. Oxazolones had several different pharmacological activity depend on substituent which was bonded to oxazolone ring. Oxazolones was an important precursor for synthesizing several compounds which had pharmacological activity. For that reason, experiment to synthesize 4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-methyloxazole-5-one from acetyl- glicine and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde as an oxazolone derivative become necessary. Com- pound 4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-methyloxazole-5-one was synthesized over two step of reaction. First step was reacted glycine with acetic anhydride in acidic environment yielded acetylglycine. Second step was reacted acetylglycine with 4-methoxybenzaldehyde yielded 4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-methyloxazole-5-one. The product, which was collected in every step, was purified by washing and recrystalization then the purification to be tested by examining melting range and thin layer chromatography. The compound was eluci- dated by using infrared spectrophotometry and 1H-NMR spectrophotometry. Synthesis of  4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-methyloxazole-5-one yielded rendement over 0,54%. The interpretation of infrared spectrum indicated that the compound which synthesized was different from the former compound but the interpretation of 1H-NMR spectrum indicated that the compound could not be ascertained as 4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-methyloxa- zole-5-one because of there were impurities. 4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-methyloxazol-5-one, oxazolone, 4-methoxyben- zaldehyde, acetylglycin
