Abstract

Marmin is a coumarin derivative compounds isolated from the bark and roots of Aegle Marmelos Correa. Previously, ethanolic extract of leaves of Aegle Marmelos Correa on isolated ileum showed antagonism effect on the contraction induced by histamine. Besides H1 receptor, there is also muscarinic acetylcholine (AChM)receptors involved in the mechanism of ileum contraction. Marmin is predicted to antagonize on AChM3 receptors.This study aimed to determine the effect of marmin on smooth muscle contraction of isolated guinea pig ileum induced by metacholine, an agonist of AChM3 receptor. The method in the study were in vitro (isolated organ) and in silico (docking PLANTS). In the in vitro study, marmin exhibited a competitive antagonists effect at the concentration of 100 μM (pA2 value of 1,728) on the AChM3 receptors. Reversibility assay on AChM3 receptors showed that by washing the ileum with Tyrode buffer every 6 minutes for 30 minutes, the bond of marmin to the receptor was still not completely detached. In the in silico study, marmin was observed to be bound to AchM3 receptors (docking score: -102.086). Marmin bond was weaker than that of native ligand of AChM3 receptor (tiotropium, docking score: -115.107), however, stronger than that of AChM3 receptor agonist and antagonist. Based on the results, we conclude that marmin have a competitive antagonist activity on AChM3 receptor.

Abstract

The consumption of rambutan fruit resulted in a vast amount of peels and seeds waste. Therefore, the exploration of active compounds having beneficial effects on human health, such as antioxidants, is very lucrative. This research was aimed to isolate and to identify the active compound as an antioxidant from rambutan peel. The powdered rambutan peel was extracted with a maceration technique using methanol then fractionated using petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethyl acetate to get the corresponding fractions. The extract and fractions were determined for its antioxidant activities in vitro using 2,2’-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and metal-chelating assay. The ethyl acetate fraction exhibited the highest antiradical activity with an IC50 value of 26.22 μg/mL and metal-chelating activity, accounting for 12.32%. The antioxidant activities of extract and fractions correlated with its phenolics and flavonoid contents. Identification of active compounds using FTIR, GC-MS, and NMR resulted in the chemical formula of C7H6O4, identified as 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid.
