  • Synthesis, Antimalarial Activities of Secondary Amine-Substituted Eugenol Compounds against Plasmodium falciparum and in silico Molecular Docking Analysis

    Sains Malaysiana, 2023
    Multi-resistance cases with antimalarial drugs had been developed in over the years. One of the ways of developing antimalarial drugs is to focus on searching for the potential antifolate inhibitors against Plasmodium sp. from synthetic or natural products. The aims of this research was to synthesis secondary amine-substituted eugenol compounds through the Mannich reaction for antimalarial evaluation using Plasmodium falciparum 3D7. The compounds were also evaluated on Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (PfDHFR-TS) as a protein target and the compounds’ drug-likeness properties were determined. Five secondary amine-substituted eugenol compounds (1a-e) were synthesized via substitution of the secondary amine i.e., pyrrolidine, piperidine, methyl piperidine, and morpholine in the eugenol structures. The plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase assay (pLDH) showed that 1a and 1c had good antimalarial effects against P. falciparum 3D7 with the IC50s values of 0.89 mM and 0.62 mM, respectively. The molecular docking analysis showed that 1a and 1c had perfect interaction with PfDHFR-TS (PDB ID: 1J3I) with strong hydrogen bond interactions occurring with PfDHFR-TS protein. The eugenol derivatives 1a and 1c exerted CDOCKER binding energies of -6.1407 and -6.6536 kcal/mol, respectively. Based on this research, it was found that PfDHFR-TS is a plausible protein target for the synthesized secondary amine-substituted eugenol in P. falciparum infection. The substitution of a secondary amine group for eugenol significantly enhanced the antimalarial properties of the compounds. Thus, eugenol derivatives are potential compounds to be pursued to combat folate resistance in malarial infection.
  • Adsorption of Pb(II) from Aqueous Solutions onto Humic Acid Modified by Urea-Formaldehyde: Effect of pH, Ionic Strength, Contact Time, and Initial Concentration

    Indonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2021
    Humic acid (HA) and urea-formaldehyde (UF) have been frequently reported as heavy metal adsorbents. However, the literature has never written HA modification by UF to improve the adsorbent’s performance. In this study, a new adsorbent of humic acid-urea formaldehyde (HA-UF) was synthesized. The reaction of the conducted the formation of HA-UF –COOH group of HA with the –NH2 group of UF was evidenced by decreasing total acidity from 549.26 cmol/kg (in HA) to 349.30 cmol/kg (in HA-UF). The success of HA-UF formation was characterized by attenuated total reflection-infrared (ATR-IR), energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The high stability of HA-UF was shown by 96.8% remaining in solid form at pH 12.4. Adsorption behavior of Pb(II) onto HA-UF was influenced by the ionic strength and pH, which were mainly driven by the ion exchange mechanism (EDR = 9.75 kJ/mol). The higher ionic strength will affect decreasing adsorbed Pb(II) at the optimum pH of 5.5. The effect of initial Pb(II) concentration (isotherm) shows that the data fitted well with the Langmuir-b isotherm model indicated the monolayer adsorption of Pb(II) onto homogenous surfaces of the HA-UF with the adsorption capacity of 2.26 × 10–4 mol/g (which is higher than its original HA of 1.12 × 10–4 mol/g). The Ho (pseudo-second-order) kinetics model represented the effect of contact time (kinetics) was represented by the Ho kinetics model. The synthesized adsorbent is also reusable, with 88.59% of adsorption capacity remaining in the fifth recycle run. Therefore, the adsorbent of HA-UF is suggested to be a promising candidate for adsorption applications.
  • Synthesis and characterization of composite of Al2O3/activated carbon by hydrothermal method

    Key Engineering Materials, 2019
    Composite of Al2O3/activated carbon (Al2O3/AC) has been successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. It was synthesized from activated carbon from oil palm shell waste by mixing with Al2O3 powder in ethanol. The mixer was placed in a hydrothermal reactor and heated up to 250°C for 3 hours. Comparison study of surface area between activated carbon and composite of Al2O3/AC indicate that surface area decreased from 67.6 to 65.3 m2/g. However, XRD analysis shows that there was a slight different hkl phase. Characterization using FTIR showed that the composite have more oxygen functional groups compared with activated carbon. SEM-EDX of composite of Al2O3/AC showed an increasing of crystalline structure on the surface.

    Composite of Al2O3/activated carbon (Al2O3/AC) has been successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. Composite of Al2O3/AC was synthesized from activated carbon by mixing with Al2O3 powder in liquid phase using ethanol and treated with hydrothermal at a temperature of 250°C for 3 hours. Comparison study of surface area between activated carbon and composite of Al2O3/AC indicate that surface area increase from 63.6 to 67.87 m2/g. However, XRD analysis shows that there is slight different hkl phase. Characterization using FTIR show that the composite have more oxygen functional groups compared with activated carbon.
