Abstract

Andrographolide has been shown to have a pharmacological effect as an antidiabetic. Nevertheless, the comprehensive mechanism of action has yet to be determined. Andrographolide is a primary component of the sambiloto herb (Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees), in which a simple isolation process can obtain high yields. This study aimed to explain the anti‐diabetic effect of andrographolide compared to pioglitazone (a positive control) on glucose uptake by measuring the expression levels of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT‐4) genes in 3T3‐LI mouse adipocytes as an in vitro model. The differentiation of mature adipocytes from 3T3‐L1 fibroblasts was induced with 3‐isobutyl‐1‐methylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin. Andrographolide was provided through direct isolation from A. paniculata herbs. The gene expression was detected using the reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR). Pioglitazone and andrographolide significantly increased glucose uptake capability. Andrographolide was able to increase the mRNA levels of PPARγ and GLUT‐4 compared to pioglitazone with the best concentration at 5.6 µM. In conclusion, andrographolide can improve glucose uptake by increasing mRNA levels of PPARγ and GLUT‐4 that encodes protein, which are key factors for glucose homeostasis. Therefore, this finding further establishes the potency of andrographolide from A. paniculata as an antidiabetic.

Abstract

Background: Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees) is one of the traditional medicines that contain multiple phytochemical compounds. Every location has its characteristic that affects the metabolic process of phytochemical compounds. Apart from that, the extraction solvent also plays an essential role in attracting compounds in sambiloto. The solvent is related to the polarity and can affect the phytochemical profile. Objective: This research aims to determine the effect of the various location and extraction solvent of sambiloto on its phytochemical profile. Methods: Sambiloto from Denpasar (Dps), Sukoharjo (Skj), and Sleman (Slm) was extracted (1:10 w/v) using ultrasonic-assisted extraction in methanol 100% (MeOH100) and methanol 50% (MeOH50). In water solvents, extraction is carried out using the infusion method. Fingerprint analysis using HPTLC-Densitometry. The data obtained was analyzed further using principal component analysis (PCA). Results: Fingerprint analysis obtained peak data that varied in each extraction solvent. There are four major peaks in the chromatogram profile of each solvent. The peak chromatogram for each solvent also shows differences at each location. PCA analysis shows that the phytochemical content of sambiloto extract is divided into three main clusters. The distribution of the clusters is based on variations in the extraction solvent. Variations in location for each sambiloto also influence its phytochemical profile. However, these variations are still in the same quadrant for each solvent. Conclusion: The solvent determines more variations in the phytochemical profile of sambiloto extract than the various location.
