Abstract

The cat's whiskers plant ( Orthosiphon aristatus (Blume) Miq) that grows in Indonesia has white flowers, purple flowers, and white flowers with purple patterns. The quality of the secondary metabolite content of each cat's whiskers plant is different because it depends on environmental influences such as rainfall or soil mineral content. Plant tissue culture methods such as callus culture or cell culture are used to overcome these obstacles because these methods do not depend on the environment and can produce secondary metabolites such as those produced by the original plant. Cat's whiskers contain the main secondary metabolite compounds: rosmarinic acid, eupatorin, and sinensetin. Rosmarinic acid belongs to the phenolic group, while sinensetin and eupatorin are flavonoids. This study aimed to determine the total levels of polyphenols and flavonoids in purple cat whiskers and determine the ratio of secondary metabolites of cat whiskers callus with wild-type plants—determination of polyphenol content using Folin Ciocalteau reagent. Determining flavonoid levels is based on colorimetry using AlCl 3 reagent, specific for flavone and flavonol compounds. The levels of polyphenols contained in the ethanolic extract of callus and cat whiskers of the purple variety were 16.056 ± 0.204 mgQE/g and 30.780 ± 0.425 mgQE/g, while the polyphenol content of the callus ethyl acetate extract and the purple variety of cat whiskers leaves was 15,489 ± 0.425 mgQE/g and 13,262 ± 0.044 mgQE/g. The levels of flavonoids contained in the ethanol extract of the cat whiskers leaf were 1.39±0.03 mgQE/g and callus 0.16±0.02 mgQE/g in the ethyl acetate extract of the leaves of the cat whiskers 2.16±0.012 mgQE/g and callus 2.24±0.010 mgQE/g. The polyphenols and flavonoids in the callus ethyl acetate extract were more significant than the ethyl acetate extract of the purple variety ( wild type ) cat whiskers leaf.

Abstract

The present study investigates the antioxidant properties of in-vitro cultured leaves of cat's whiskers (Orthosiphon stamineus) compared to the well-known antioxidant quercetin. Antioxidants are crucial for neutralizing free radicals and play a significant role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, a contributing factor to various diseases and aging processes. The research aims to quantify and compare the radical scavenging activity of extracts from the in vitro cultured leaves and quercetin, using the DPPH method, a widely recognized assay in antioxidant research. Extraction involved macerating in-vitro cultured cat's whiskers leaves with 96% ethanol, which facilitates the dissolution of active phytochemicals. Antioxidant activity was subsequently assessed through the DPPH assay, where colorimetric change indicates the extract’s scavenging ability towards free radicals. The findings revealed that the in vitro cultured leaves extract exhibited a potent antioxidant activity, with an IC50 value of 0.74 μg/mL, significantly lower than quercetin’s IC50 value of 7.51 μg/mL. These results highlight the potential of in-vitro cultured cat's whiskers as a natural antioxidant source, suggesting possible applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where combating oxidative stress is essential for health maintenance and disease prevention. Further research is necessary to elucidate the specific biochemical pathways and mechanisms underpinning the antioxidant capacity of the in vitro cultured leaves extracts.
