Abstract
Laor worms (
Lysidice oela
) are worms that appear on the surface of the Maluku sea to reproduce
in March or April. Laor worms are usually consumed by most people because they contain 13.92%
protein, 81.51% water, 1.01% fat, and 2.41% ash and contain 9 types of essential amino acids.
Secondary metabolite compounds (bromophenol) from marine worms are antimicrobial. This
research aimed to determine the potential of secondary metabolites in inhibiting the growth of
E.
coli
bacteria and to determine the secondary metabolites contained in laor worms. Laor worm is
extracted maceration with ethanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether. The results of each extract
were tested for antibacterial activity using the disc diffusion method with variations in
concentrations of 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 mg/mL against
E. coli
bacteria. The results of the
extract which had the highest antibacterial activity were then tested for phytochemicals, then
separated using TLC, and identified active compounds using UV-Vis spectrophotometers and their
functional groups using FT-IR spectrophotometers. The results showed that laor worm extract
could inhibit the growth of
E. coli
bacteria with an inhibition zone area of 13.4 mm for ethanol
extract; 14.8 for ethyl acetate extract and 12.6 mm for petroleum ether extract. The
phytochemical test showed that the ethyl acetate extract of la worms contained flavonoids,
saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and alkaloids. Identification using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer
obtained λ
max
was 203 nm which showed steroid compounds. The identification of active
compounds using an FTIR spectrophotometer shows the functional groups O-H, C = O, C-C, C-
OH primary, and C-H which are thought to be steroid compounds.

INTRODUCTION
Infection is a type of disease caused by
micro-organisms and affects most people in
developing countries, including Indonesia
(Ningsih & Zusfahair, 2016; Sari, 2012).
Escherichia coli is usually a resident of the
digestive tract. Several strains of E.coli are one
of the causes of diarrhea in both children and
adults, which can cause enterobacterial
infections, for example diarrhea to meningitis.
suffered by society.
To treat infectious diseases, antibiotics
are the target. The irrational use of
antibacterial has caused many pathogenic
microbes to adapt to their environment and
become resistant to these drugs (Candrasari et
al., 2011)
.
The problem of bacterial resistance
to existing drugs has prompted the importance
of extracting antibacterial compounds from
442 International Journal of Social, Service and Research, 2(5), 441-452

natural ingredients that are more patent,
inexpensive, have fewer side effects and are
continuously available in large quantities
(Hartini, 2001).
Maluku is an area in Indonesia which
consists of a very wide archipelago with seas
that stretch around each island. This area has
marine biodiversity and provides opportunities
to utilize marine biota in the search for
secondary metabolites of new bioactive
compounds. Marine biota (marine organisms)
are a very rich source of natural materials with
unique biological activities (Handayani et al.,
2012). Polychaeta are invertebrate animals
that belong to the phylum Annelida. People in
Indonesia know polychaeta by the name of sea
worms, because most of their habitat is in the
sea.
One of the worms in Worms Laor
(Lysidice oela). This wormis one type that
belongs to the family
Eunicidae
which is usually
consumed by most people in Maluku
(Pamungkas, 2009).These worms usually
come to the surface of the water in March or
April while moving his body or dancing. The
spiral movement of the worms to the surface
of the water allows these two worms of
different sexes to meet, which eventually
breaks off and sperm or egg cells come out.
The meeting between the egg and sperm will
become a zygote that will go to the seabed. It
was at that time that the people caught the
sea worms and until now it has become a
tradition for the people of Maluku.
The abundant number of laor worms
during the timbah laor activity is an indication
that the laor worms have the ability to protect
themselves from other creatures in the sea
(Jekti et al., 2008). The ability to take care of
itself is possible because the laor worm has
active ingredients (natural products) that can
kill or inhibit the growth of other living things.
The ability of the Laor worm to inhibit the
growth of benthos bacteria is related to the
place where the Laor worm lives, namely in
coral. The chemical components of sea worms
encourage the development of isolating and
identifying secondary metabolites found in sea
worms. Secondary metabolites have the ability
as bioactive compounds so they are very
promising as lead compounds for materials
that have pharmacological activity.
Identification of secondary metabolite
content is an important initial step in research
to search for new bioactive compounds from
natural ingredients that can be precursors for
the synthesis of new drugs or prototypes of
certain active drugs (Rasyidi, 2016). The group
of secondary metabolites is very abundant and
commonly found in organisms including
alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, steroids, and
terpenoids (Marliana, 2007). This study aims
to determine the potential of secondary
metabolites from the Laor worm (Lysidice oela)
in inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli
bacteria andTo find out the secondary
metabolite compounds contained in Laor
worms.

Work procedures
Sampling
Sampling of laor worms in Latuhalat Village,
Ambon Island, Maluku Province.
Sample Preparation
Sampling results are included in the coolbox.
Then soaked in cold water 14 ° C for 24 hours.
Aerated at room temperature covered with
aluminum foil. Next, the samples were ground
using a blender. The milled products were
dried in an oven at 50 °C for 12 hours and
sieved (90 mesh) to obtain flour extract
(Aninda, 2016).
Laor Worm Extraction
As much as 25 g of Laor worm powder was put
into a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Then each
solvent was added, namely 96% ethanol, ethyl
acetate and 50 mL petroleum ether. Shaking
was carried out with a shaker for 3 hours at a
speed of 120 rpm (rotation per minute) and
macerated for 24 hours. Then filtered the
maceration residue with a Buchner funnel and
redissolved using the same solvent until it is
clear. The filtrate obtained was combined in an
extract storage container (Nurhayati &
Purwaningsih, 2017). The ethanol, ethyl
acetate and petroleum ether extracts obtained
were concentrated using a rotary evaporator
at a temperature of 30-40 ºC, and flowed with
N2 gas until the solvent completely
evaporated.
Antibacterial Activity Test
The NA (Nutrien Agar) media is heated until it
melts, cooled to a temperature of 40˚C. The
NA solution was poured into sterile petri
dishes, mixed with 0.1 mL of E. coli bacteria
solution, then homogenized and allowed to
solidify.Laor worm extract was prepared in
various concentrations (25, 50, 75, 100 and
125 mg/mL). A total of 0.01 gram of Laor
worm extract was dissolved in 10 mL of
ethanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether as
the main solution and then divided into several
predetermined concentrations (Elayaraja et
al., 2010). Paper discs with a diameter of 5 mm
were soaked in the resulting laor worm extract
and controls (positive controls were given
chloramphenicol and negative were given
DMSO solution). The disc paper is placed on
the surface of the media using sterile tweezers
and pressed slightly. Incubated at 37 ˚C for 24
hours until the inhibition area appears (Mulyadi
et al., 2017). The antibacterial activity test for
each solvent was carried out in duplicate and
repeated 3 times. The inhibition zone was
measured using a ruler to determine bacterial
activity.
Phytochemical Test of Active Compounds
in Laor Worms
The extract which has the widest inhibition
zone will be identified for its chemical content,
including flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins,
tannins, phenolics and alkaloids (Kristianti et
al., 2008).
Classification of Compounds with
Analytical TLC
Extracts that showed antibacterial activity
were then tested chemically by Thin Layer
Chromatography (TLC) which was carried out
using silica gel GF254 plates as the stationary
phase. Silica gel plates are made with a width
of 1x10 cm2 at the top and bottom ends with
a limit of 1 cm. 0.001 gram of the extract to be
tested was dissolved in 2.5 mL of the solvent
(4,000 ppm) used, then spotted 10 times ± 1
cm from the bottom of the plate. Developers
(mobile phase) used for each compound were:
steroids (n-hexane 1 : 1 ethyl acetate),
alkaloids (chloroform 4 : 1 methanol),
saponins (chloroform 13 : 7 methanol : 2
water), triterpenoids (n- butanol 4 : 1
444 International Journal of Social, Service and Research, 2(5), 441-452
Martha Kaihena, Mas’uth Pratomo MS, Abdul M Ukratalo
Ammonia), flavonoids (ethyl acetate 4.5 : 0.5
methanol) and phenolics (Toluene 3 : 3 ethyl
acetate : 0.2 formic acid). Then it was dried
and eluted with eluent in a TLC flask which had
been saturated and tightly closed. After the
eluent reaches the top line, the plate is
removed and dried (Jekti et al., 2008).The
spots were observed visually with a UV lamp
at a wavelength of 245 nm and 366 nm and
using a universal spray reagent to reveal the
spots with the Liebermann-Burchard reagent.
Then the Rf value is calculated and the spot
shape is observed in various eluents.
Identification of Compounds Using a UV-
Vis Spectrophotometer
Laor worm extract which had been dissolved
based on the solvent with a concentration of
100 ppm was then put into a cuvette and
analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at
a wavelength range of 200-800 nm (Maharani
et al., 2016).
Functional Group Identification Using
FTIR
The characterization in this study used FTIR
(Fourier Transform Infra Red) spectroscopy.
The target compound in solid form was
crushed with KBr salt (2:98) and then pelleted
using a diameter of 7 mm. The pellet was then
placed in the sample holder and its absorption
was measured using an FTIR spectrometer in
the area of 4000-400 cm-1. The sample to be
analyzed must be ensured that it is dry and
free from impurities around the container. The
data from the analysis results were then
processed using Ms. Excel 2010 (Sigee et al.,
2002).
Data analysis
The data obtained from the first stage of the
research were in the form of inhibition zones
from the results of the antibacterial activity
test of each variation of solvent, the best
solvent was indicated by the widest diameter
of the inhibition zone and the second stage of
research was the identification of chemical
compounds and functional groups from
extracts that had the widest inhibition zones.
Each data is presented in tabular form and
interpreted according to the results obtained
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Sample preparation
Wet laor worm samples 256 g were washed
thoroughly using running water. Then the
samples were dried by means of laor worm
samples placed on top of aluminum foil and
dried in the laboratory for ± 2 weeks. After
drying, a sample weight of 121.82 g was
obtained which was then refined using a 90
mesh sieve. Smoothing is done so that the
surface area of the sample is greater so that
the sample contact with the solvent is
maximized. In addition, the refining process
also allows the cells to rupture, thus facilitating
the uptake of active compounds by solvents.
Laor worms have a moisture content of
47.58%. Water content analysis aims to
determine the water content contained in laor
worm biomass.
Extraction of Laor worms by maceration
Sample extraction in this study was carried out
by maceration. Extraction was carried out
using 3 solvents namely ethanol, ethyl acetate
and petroleum ether. Laor worm powder was
added to each solvent in the ratio (1 : 3) and
macerated for 24 hours at room temperature.
The filtrate obtained is then concentrated
using a rotary evaporator and N2 gas, this
aims to remove the solvent. The results of
observations on the color of the filtrate, extract
color, measurement of crude extract weight
and extract yield extract yield can be seen in
Table 1.

The results in Table 1 show that the
characteristics of the filtrate in ethanol are
dark brown, while ethyl acetate and petroleum
ether have the same color, namely brown. The
type of solvent also affects the extraction
results and yield. The highest extract value
was ethanol solvent of 6.9481 g with a yield
value of 27.79%. followed by 2.8335 g of ethyl
acetate extract with a yield of 16.89% and
petroleum ether extract with an extract value
of 1.4081 g with a yield of 5.63%.
These results also indicated that the ethanol
extract produced a higher yield when
compared to the ethyl acetate and petroleum
ether extracts. The high yield of extracts in
polar solvents is because the active
compounds are generally still in the form of
glycoside bonds, namely compounds
consisting of sugar compounds (glycones and
primary metabolites) and non-sugar
compounds (aglycones and secondary
metabolites) (Utami et al., 2013).
Antibacterial Activity Test
The results of measuring the diameter of the
inhibition zone showed that the Laor worm
extract had activity in inhibiting Escherichia coli
bacteria. The average inhibition zone resulting
from the results of the antibacterial activity
test can be seen in Table 2.

Based on Table 2 it can be seen that the
ethyl acetate extract of the laor worm has a
higher antibacterial activity when compared to
the ethanol and petroleum ether extracts. This
is indicated by the size of the inhibition zone at
each concentration of each ethyl acetate
extract. The higher extract concentration
causes a higher inhibition effect so that the
clear zone around the paper disk becomes
wider.
Antibacterial activity in ethanol extract
was identified at concentrations of 25 mg/mL
(6.6 mm), 50 mg/mL (9.2 mm), 75 mg/mL
(10.7 mm), 100 mg/mL (12 mm) and 125
mg/mL (13.4 mm). Ethyl acetate extract
concentrations of 25 mg/mL (7.1 mm), 50
mg/mL (8.8 mm), 75 mg/mL (12.1 mm), 100
mg/mL (13.8 mm) and 125 mg /mL (14.8mm).
Whereas in petroleum ether extract
concentrations of 25 mg/mL (5.6 mm), 50
mg/mL (9.2 mm), 75 mg/mL (10.5 mm), 100
mg/mL (11.8 mm) and 125 mg/mL (12.6 mm).
There was an increase in the diameter of the
inhibition zone along with the increase in the
concentration of the worm extract in all
solvents.
The results of this study are different
from the results of Nurhikmah's research
(Nurhayati & Purwaningsih, 2017), where the
ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of the
freeze-dried sea worm Siphonosoma australe-
australe did not have antibacterial activity.

.
The high value of the inhibition zone of
the ethyl acetate extract in this study is
thought to be due to the active compound that
has the potential as an antibacterial from the
Laor worm, which tends to be distributed in
semipolar solvents. The results of observing
the inhibition zones of Laor worm extract with
various solvents against Escherichia coli
bacteria can be seen in Figure 1.

The positive control used in this study
ischloramphenicol. The use of chloramphenicol
is due to:Chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum
antibiotic (Nuria, 2016). Chloramphenicol is
bacteriostatic or inhibits bacterial growth
(Cahyono & Indrayudha, 2013). The test
results show that the average inhibition zone
formed onchloramphenicol was larger when
compared to the zone of inhibition in ethanol,
ethyl acetate and petroleum ether extracts.
The large inhibition zone in the positive control
was due to the fact that the active ingredient
in chloramphenicol was pure, while the
ethanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether
extracts were not pure because they were
mixed with other compounds so that the
inhibition of bacteria was not effective.
The negative control used was DMSO.
According to Pratiwi, Dimethyl Sulfoxide
(DMSO) is a solvent that can dissolve both
polar and nonpolar compounds that dissolve in
organic solvents and water. The absence of an
inhibition zone in the negative control in this
study proved that the inhibition zone formed
was not influenced by the type of solvent but
due to the activity of the active compounds
present in the laor worm extract as
antibacterial.
Identification of Laor Worm Secondary
Metabolite Compounds
The results of the antibacterial activity test
showed that the ethyl acetate extract of the
laor worm had the highest antibacterial
activity, so the ethyl acetate extract was then
identified as a secondary metabolite. The
results of the secondary metabolic compounds
test for the ethyl acetate extract of the Laor
worm qualitatively can be seen in Table 3.

Isolation and Identification of Secondary Metabolite Compounds of Laor Worm Extract as
Antibacterial
Based on Table 3, it can be seen that
the ethyl acetate extract of the laor worm
contains flavonoids, steroids, triterpenoids,
saponins, phenols and alkaloids. The
secondary metabolites found in this study were
not much different from those found by Erviani
and Arif (2017) where the results of the
phytochemical screening of sea worm extract
Perinereis aibuhitensis also contain alkaloids,
flavonoids, saponins, triterpenoids/steroids
and tannins. In addition, the Siphonosoma
austral sea worm contains saponins,
flavonoids, steroids and alkaloids (Aninda,
2016). The results of the phytochemical
screening of the sea worm extract of Eunice
siciliensis contain alkaloids, flavonoids,
saponins, triterpenoids/steroids and tannins
(Erviani et al., 2019).
Thin Layer Chromatography Profile
The ethyl acetate extract obtained was
then analyzed by Thin Layer Chromatography
(TLC). Tests were carried out with a

Based on the results of the TLC in Table
4, it was shown that the ethyl acetate extract
of the laor worm contained flavonoids,
steroids, triterpenoids, saponins and alkaloids.
The TLC test with ethyl acetate: methanol (4.5
: 0.5) eluent produced two spot stains at a
wavelength of 366 nm, namely blue and purple
with an Rf value of 0.83; 0.95, blue color
indicates flavonoids and purple indicates
saponins. In the n-hexane eluent: ethyl
acetate (1:1) six spots were obtained at a
wavelength of 366 nm with an Rf value of
0.39; 0.58; 0.71; 0.64; 0.67; 0.83 and 0.93. It
is suspected that at Rf 0.67 it is a steroid
compound due to the presence of a bluish-
green stain after being sprayed with the
Liberman-Buchard reagent, the blue color
indicates flavoid compounds with Rf 0.39 while
the red color indicates triterpenoid compounds
with Rf 0.58; 0.64; 0.83 and 0.93.
In the n-butanol eluent: NH4OH (4:1) at
a wavelength of 366 nm produced four spots
with an Rf value of 0.20; 0.37; 0.50 and 0.89
with blue-green color indicates flavonoid
compounds respectively and light purple is a
triterpenoid. In testing with the mobile phase
of chloroform: methanol: water (13:7:2) it
produced two dark purple spots which
indicated saponin compounds with an Rf value
of 0.80 and the red color indicated
triterpenoids with Rf 0.83 at a wavelength of
366 nm.
Meanwhile, using a phenolic eluent
using toluene as mobile phase: ethyl acetate:
formic acid (3:3:0,2) produces 4 stain spots,
namely red (triterpenoid), red (triterpenoid),
dark blue (flavonoid) and purple (saponin). )
with Rf values of 0.51 each; 0.57; 0.90 and
0.96 at a wavelength of 366 nm. In the eluent
chloroform: methanol (4:1) produced a spot of
orange stain which is an alkaloid compound
with an Rf value of 0.91 at a wavelength of 366
nm after being sprayed with Dragendroff's
reagent.
The TLC profile obtained from Laor
worms identified a flavonoid compound from
Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb with an Rf of 0.8
which was close to that of the study, namely
0.9(Nugrahaningtyas et al., 2005). The
saponin compound from Smilax rotundifolia
leaf wrap has an Rf value of 0.79 which is close
to the TLC profile Rf value of 0.8(Firawati &
PRATAMA, 2018). In alkaloid compounds, an
Rf value of 0.91 was obtained which was in
accordance with Rahmawati's research (2015)
who carried out the separation of alkaloid
compounds from Alstonia scholaris L. with an
Rf value of 0.9. Identification of steroid
compounds from Eucheuma spinosum
obtained an Rf value of 0.694 exactly with the
above observation, namely 0.7 (Laili, 2016).
Analysis of Compounds with a UV-Vis
Spectrophotometer
UV-Vis spectrophotometer is an analysis
based on measuring the absorption of a
solution through which monochromatic
radiation passes. In a UV-Vis
spectrophotometer the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and molecules
causes electronic transitions. The spectrum
can be seen in Figure 3.

Based on the results of UV-Vis spectrum
measurements, there is a maximum
absorption at a wavelength of 203 nm. This
absorption peak is a typical absorption for
steroid compounds indicating the presence of
π π* electronic transitions caused by
unconjugated double bonds (C=C) in the
isolated compound. The resulting spectrum
pattern is similar to Baderos's
research(2017)who identified steroid
compounds from the sponge Xestospongia sp
de L. and the red algae Eucheuma cottonii
which produced a UV-Vis spectrum at a
wavelength of 203 nm indicating the presence
of steroid compounds that have hydroxyl
groups. At a wavelength of 260 nm. According
to Maulidiyah(2011)absorption at a
wavelength of 260 nm comes from the C=O
chromophore group withtype of transition n
π*. Meanwhile, at a wavelength of 609 nm, it
shows flavonoid compounds that are in
accordance with Suarsa's research (2011) who
identified flavonoid compounds from Musa
paradiasiaca L. Cv kapok and Musa
paradiasiaca L. Cv Susu. The transition at a
wavelength of 609 nm shows a bathochromic
shift, namely a shift in absorption towards
longer wavelengths, due to substituents or the
influence of solventsSastrohamidjojo (1996).
Results of Identification of Compounds
by FTIR Spectroscopy
Ethyl acetate marine worm extract
containing alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins,
steroids and triterpenoids in KLTA was then
followed by identification with FTIR
instruments. The results of the FTIR spectrum
are shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. FTIR results of Laor worm ethyl acetate extract
Figure 6 shows the FTIR spectrum in the form
of transmittance data from wave numbers
4000400 cm-1. A relatively high
transmittance value indicates that the signal
from the sample is mostly transmitted, while a
relatively low transmittance value indicates
that the signal from the sample is mostly
absorbed. The results of the spectrum
functional group analysis can be seen in Table

The results of the IR characterization of
the crude extract of the Laor worm showed
that there were specific absorptions for several
functional groups, including in the wave
number region of 3445.377 cm-1 indicating a
weak absorption as vibrational alcohol (OH)
which often appeared very weak and gave rise
to a band and supported by the presence of
primary alcohol (CO) Stretch vibrations at
wave number 1048 cm-1. In addition, there is
absorption at wave number 3019.66 cm-1
which indicates an aromatic Stretch CH
vibration which is supported by the
appearance of absorption at wave number
942.773 cm-1 with moderate intensity. The
presence of aliphatic CH groups at wave
numbers 2924.766 cm-1 and 2853.846 cm-1
indicates the asymmetric Stretch vibration of
CH3 (methyl) and the Stretch symmetry
vibration of CH2 (methylene).
CONCLUSION
Based on the IR spectroscopy data, it
can be seen that the compounds contained in
the crude ethyl acetate extract of Laor worms
are thought to be steroid compounds. The
FTIR spectra in this study are similar to Dewi's
research(2008)who identified steroids in
percolation extraction of sand sea cucumber
(Holuthuria scabra) where at a wavelength of
3400.97 cm-1 1 showed absorption as
vibrational alcohol (OH) which was supported
by the presence of stretching vibrations of
secondary alcohol (CO) at wave number
1097.03 cm -1. Then at wave numbers
1637.45 cm-1 and 1711.06 cm-1 there are
C=C and C=O carbonyl functional groups.
