Abstract

BACKGROUND: Thrombocytopenia is a medical condition characterized by a low platelet count in the blood, which can cause excessive bleeding and serious complications. Current conventional treatments for thrombocytopenia often present significant side effects and limitations, necessitating the exploration of alternative therapeutic options. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the potential of Indonesian ethnomedicinal plants as alternative therapies.METHODS: The research was conducted by ethanol maceration of 15 medicinal plants selected based on their use in traditional Indonesian medicine to treat thrombocytopenia. Male white rats, aged three month and weighing between 150 and 250 g, were divided into four groups, which each group consists of five rats: the negative control group, group receiving 250 mg/kg BW extract, group receiving 500 mg/kg BW extract, and the normal control group. The effects of the test preparations on platelet count, erythrocyte count, and hematocrit were observed after 7 days of treatment.RESULTS: Among of 15 medicinal plants extract tested at a dose of 500 mg/kg BW, Psidium guajava L. leaves extract showed to increase blood platelets counts in thrombocytopenic mice by 60.82% (p<0.01) followed by Phyllanthus niruri L. aerial parts extract at (48.22%; p<0.01), and Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Wall. ex Nees leaves extract (47.14%; p<0.01).CONCLUSION: The extracts of P. guajava leaves, aerial parts of P. niruri, and A. paniculata leaves exhibited significant potential in enhancing platelet levels. These findings suggest that some Indonesian medicinal plants can be used as alternative therapy for thrombocytopenia.KEYWORDS: dengue hemorrhagic fever, Phyllanthus niruri, Psidium guajava, Andrographis paniculata, thrombocytopenia

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Steroids are secondary metabolic derivatives of terpenes containing the tetracyclic ring system known to exhibit fascinating pharmacological activity. Steroids are distributed in various genera of endophytic fungi including Fusarium genus which lives inside a higher tree such as Chisocheton macrophyllus. The purpose of this research is to identify and characterize the chemical structure of steroids generated by F. phaseoli, an endophytic fungus obtained from C. macrophyllus roots, as well as to assess their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The brown rice medium was fermented with F. phaseoli for six weeks before extraction with ethyl acetate. The extracts yielded four compounds, identified using spectroscopic methods such as FTIR, HRTOF-MS, 1D, and 2D NMR, and then compared to previously described compounds. Compounds 1-4 were identified as ergosterol (1), ergosterol peroxide (2), atroside (3), and cerevisterol (4). The four isolated compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and Escherichia coli ATCC 11229 and displayed activity with MIC50 values of 500 µg/mL. Keywords: Antibacterial activity; Chisocheton macrophyllus; Fusarium phaseoli; steroids.

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Triterpenoids are a large group of secondary metabolites commonly found in plants, exhibiting high diversity in both structural features and biological activities. Meliaceae family is knows as a rich source of the triterpenoid compounds. As the most extensive genus within the Meliaceae family, Aglaia is known to contain many bioactive triterpenoid compounds, including cytotoxic triterpenoids. Among the various types of triterpenoids, dammarane is frequently found in Aglaia and has demonstrated potential cytotoxic activity. This purpose of the research was to isolate and structure determination of four dammarane triterpenoids from the methanol extract of Aglaia eximia stem bark. All four compounds were successfully isolated and identified as, dammar-24-en-3a,20-diol (1), 20S,24S-epoxy-dammar-3a,25-diol (2), (E)-dammar-23-en-3a,20,25-triol (3), and (E)-25-hydroperoxydammar-23-en-3a,20-diol (4), respectively. The compounds were analyzed using a combination of spectroscopic techniques, including HRMS (high-resolution mass spectroscopy), FTIR (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance, one and two dimensional). Cytotoxicity assays using the MTT method were applied to compounds 1-4. All isolated compounds (1-4) generated moderate cytotoxic activity against P388 murine leukemia cells with IC50 9.09, 11.03, 5.89, and 5.74 μg/mL, respectively. Preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis suggested that the presence of hydroxyl and hydroperoxyl groups at C-25 increases cytotoxicity, whereas the cyclization in the side chain to form an epoxide ring decreases cytotoxicity.
