and studies of the potential cytotoxic, antioxidant, and HMG CoA reductase inhibitory effects of chitin from Indonesia mangrove crab () shells.

This study aimed to characterize chitin extracted from Indonesia mangrove crab () shells, as well as to assess its cytotoxic, antioxidant, and HMG CoA reductase inhibitory potentials. molecular docking, molecular dynamic, and ADMET prediction analyses were also carried out. Chitin was extracted from mangrove crab shells using deproteination and demineralization processes, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) characterization are then performed.
