Abstract

Identification of wood species that are difficult to distinguish from their anatomical structure can be done through phytochemical (extractive substance) profiling. This research aimed to analyze the phytochemical profile as a sorter for three species of mangrove wood from Indramayu and Cilacap Regencies, Indonesia, using the liquid chromatography-mass spectrum. The phytochemical markers of taxonomic were the dominant compounds only found in one wood species. The results showed that the three types of wood are dominated by phytochemicals dissolved in ethanol. The results of LCMS analysis of the ethanol extract showed that the phytochemical markers were triterpenoid, flavonoid, and fatty acyls glycoside groups for Rhizophora apiculata, steroid and naphthalene groups for Bruguiera gymnorhiza, and alkaloid as well as fatty amide group for Bruguiera cylindrica. The dominant compounds that characterize these can be used in sorting between mangrove wood species. Keywords: characterizer, compound, mangrove, phytochemicals

Abstract

Agarwood leaves (Aquilaria malaccensis), a non-timber forest products, shows significant potential as a source of antidiabetic compounds. This study aims to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of agarwood leaves and their cytotoxicity on pancreatic beta-cells, as well as predict their compound bioactivity through an in silico approach. The leaves were extracted using ethanol, water, and a mixture of ethanol–water with the assistance of ultrasound irradiation. The extracts were then tested in vitro for their antidiabetic potential by assessing their ability to inhibit the alpha-glucosidase enzyme and their effect on insulin secretion, as well as their cytotoxicity on BRIN-BD11 pancreatic beta-cells. The phytocompounds in the extract were identified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and their binding behavior was studied by in silico molecular docking. Among the three, the ethanol–water extract showed the highest extraction yield. Cytotoxicity assays revealed that the ethanol–water extract was cytotoxic at high concentrations (1000 µg/mL), but safe at lower concentrations. The alpha-glucosidase inhibition was relatively weak. Nevertheless, the extracts significantly stimulated insulin secretion in BRIN-BD11 cells up to fivefold compared to untreated cells. In silico studies indicated that xanthone glycoside, flavonoid glycoside, and coumarin compounds exhibit strong binding affinities to multiple insulin-secretion-related proteins. These findings suggest that agarwood leaf extract, particularly ethanol–water extract, possesses promising antidiabetic activity through an insulinotropic mechanism.
