Produk akhir senyawa turunan tiosemikarbazon yang terbentuk diidentifikasi menggunakan KLT serta dikarakterisasi menggunakan Fourier Transform Infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), dan Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Produk hasil akhir senyawa turunan tiosemikarbazon diuji aktivitas antioksidannya dengan menggunakan metode 1,1-Difenil-2-pikril-hidrazil (DPPH). Kedelapan produk akhir, yaitu benzaldehida limonen tiosemikarbazon (1), 2-hidroksibenzaldehida limonen tiosemikarbazon (2), 4-metoksibenzaldehida limonen tiosemikarbazon (3), sinamaldehida limonen tiosemikarbazon (4), benzaldehida kamfen tiosemikarbazon (5), 2-hidroksibenzaldehida kamfen tiosemikarbazon (6), 4-metoksibenzaldehida kamfen tiosemikarbazon (7), dan sinamaldehida kamfen tiosemikarbazon (8) memiliki hasil masing-masing sebesar 76,32%; 80,75%; 91,79%; 71,61%; 96,82%; 89,94%; 87,98%; dan 97,65%. Berdasarkan uji aktivitas antioksidan menggunakan metode DPPH, diperoleh IC50 senyawa (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), dan (8) sebesar 158,64 ppm; 76,35 ppm; 107,38 ppm; 170,82 ppm; 152,92 ppm; 84,56 ppm; 118,34 ppm; dan 175,69 ppm.
Thiosemicarbazone derivatives are chemical compounds known for their significant biological activity. In this study, thiosemicarbazone derivatives were synthesized using limonene and camphene with four different aromatic aldehydes: benzaldehyde, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, and cinnamaldehyde. The final thiosemicarbazone derivative products were identified using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The antioxidant activity of the final thiosemicarbazone derivative products was tested using the 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The yields of the eight final products, benzaldehyde limonene thiosemicarbazone (1), 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde limonene thiosemicarbazone (2), 4-methoxybenzaldehyde limonene thiosemicarbazone (3), cinnamaldehyde limonene thiosemicarbazone (4), benzaldehyde camphene thiosemicarbazone (5), 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde camphene thiosemicarbazone (6), 4-methoxybenzaldehyde camphene thiosemicarbazone (7), and cinnamaldehyde camphene thiosemicarbazone (8), were 76.32%, 80.75%, 91.79%, 71.61%, 96.82%, 89.94%, 87.98%, and 97.65%, respectively. Based on the antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method, the IC50 values of compounds (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), and (8) were found to be 158.64 ppm; 76.35 ppm; 107.38 ppm; 170.82 ppm; 152.92 ppm; 84.56 ppm; 118.34 ppm; and 175.69 ppm, respectively.
