SINTESIS KONJUGAT KURKUMIN-ISOLEUSIN SEBAGAI KANDIDAT ANTIBAKTERI Escherichia coli

Abstract. Curcumin is an active yellow-orange chemical compound derived from Curcuma longa which has potential as an antibacterial.

The formation of curcumin conjugate compounds with isoleucine-Boc amino acids using the Steglich esterification method involving the activating agent N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and the catalyst 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). Isoleucine is protected with a Boc group to avoid side reactions. From the synthesis results, a crude product of 4.8407 g was obtained. The synthesis product (curcumin-IIe-Boc) was purified using gradient and isocratic column chromatography techniques. The fraction obtained was 4 mg and the yield percentage was 2.54%. The target fraction was characterized using a mass spectrometer showing a molecular ion peak with a value of m/z = 582.2647 with the [M+H]⁺ ion corresponding to the theoretical mass of 581.1564. Antibacterial activity was tested against Escherichia coli using the microdilution method and the results showed that the curcumin isoleucine-Boc conjugate had activity against Escherichia coli bacteria at a minimum concentration of 2000 ppm.
