Abstract

Isolation and identification of compounds and pharmacological activity of the Micromelum minutum grown in some countries has been done, but the Indonesian M. minutum has not been studied, either phytochemically or pharmacologically. This study aimed to determine the cytotoxic activity of Indonesian M. minutum leave extracts toward MCF-7 and 4T1 breast cancer cell lines. The leaves were obtained from M. minutum grow in Bantimurung National Park, Bulusaraung, South Sulawesi, and then were macerated gradually in hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. The cytotoxic activity of obtained extracts was determined by MTT assay. The extraction yielded hexane (HEM), ethyl acetate (EEM), and methanol (MEM) extracts of 2.65, 6.12, and 6.49%, respectively. HEM was the most potent extract with IC50 values of 148 and 87 µg/mL on MCF-7 and 4T1 cells, respectively, followed by EEM (185 and 170 µg/mL). MEM possessed a weak potency with an IC50 value of 384 µg/mL on MCF-7 cells and was not toxic toward 4T1 cells. Therefore, HEM is important to be further investigated for its active constituents.

Abstract

Micromelum minutum is used widely in traditional folk medicine. Although this species has been investigated extensively and several bioactive compounds have been isolated, little work has been done on Indonesian M. minutum. This research aimed to study the chemical constituents and biological activities of M. minutum cultivated in Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The isolated compounds were assessed for their cytotoxicity towards MCF-7 and 4T1 cell lines by MTT method. The dried ground leaves of M. minutum were sequentially macerated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. The n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts contained a flavonoid 5,7-dihydroxy-3,4',8-trimethoxyflavone (1) which inhibited MCF-7 and 4T1 cell viability by 50% at concentrations of 369±8 and 227±5 µM, respectively. Further separation of the ethyl acetate extract by column chromatography yielded acetyldihydromicromelin A (2) and a mixture of dihydromicromelin A (3) and dihydromicromelin B (4), which were not active toward MCF-7 and 4T1 cells.
