Febryana Rahayu Kurniawati. B1611048. Antioxidant Activity of Extract Butterfly
Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea L) by In Silico. Supervised by Tiana Fitrilia, M. Fakih
Kurniawan, and Tirta Setiawan.
Cell in the body can produce free radicals and reactive oxygen spesies (ROS). Free
radicals can be damaging if there is oxidative stress, free radicals can be suppressed by
compounds such as phenolics which act as antioxidant. This research was designed to
determaine the potential of butterfly pea flower extract as an antioxidant that inhibits
ROS based on bond affinity, Root Means Square Deviation (RMSD) value and
interactions that occur in silico (molecular docking). The results of molecular docking
butterfly pea extract compounds showed that the RMSD value was greater than that of
GTP ligand as the comparison ligan. In addition, the molecular docking showed the
Gibss energy (?Gbind ) value of -3,6 kca/mol until -6,2 kcal/mol. The docking results
showed that butterfly pea flower extract ligand inetraction with receptor that have
similarities in terms oh hydrogen, electrostatic, and hydrophobic bonds are caffeine
with the same amino acid residues as the validation ligand for the receptors, namely
ASP118, GLY15, CYS18, ALA159, LEU160, LYS116, and PHE28.The stability of the
butterfly pea flower extract compound bond stability is predicted to be quite stable
which is supported by the addition of electrostatic bonds and hydrophobic bonds.
