Abstract

Auricularia auricula is an edible mushroom cultivated in Indonesia that has been known to have potential properties of bioactive compounds than can be used for medicinal purpose. This study aimed to examine the cytotoxic and apoptosis effect of chloroform extract of A. auricula on cervical cancer cells in vitro. The research design was in vitro experimental research. Cytotoxic tests was using an MTT [3-(4,5-dimetiltiazol-2-yl)-2.5-diphenyl tertrazolium bromide] assay and apoptosis test was using double staining method. Test of bioactive compounds was carried out using GCMS. Cytotoxic effect were analyzed by linear regression and apoptosis test was analyzed descriptively. Chloroform extract of mycelium A. auricula showed the best results with IC50 = 264.87 µg/ml. An important finding obtained after the double staining process was that chloroform extract of A. auricula can induce HeLa cells death by apoptosis. GCMS test results showed that the extracts containing limonene and piperidinone which are the anticancer bioactive compounds. In conclusion, the chloroform extracts of A. auricula has the potential to inhibit the growth of cervical cancer cells. The benefit of this study are expected to provide information about the anticancer potential of extract of A. auricula against cervical cancer cells, thus contributing to the development of alternative anticancer treatments from natural product.

Abstract

Button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) is an edible mushroom that is most widely cultivated in the world. It contains bioactive compounds that might provide beneficial effects on diabetes mellitus patient. The study aimed to determine the effects of A. bisporus administration on the blood glucose, and malondyaldehyd (MDA) levels as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of alloxan-induced diabetic rats. This study was also conducted to determine the secondary metabolites produced by A. bisporus. The method used was experimental methods with Completely Randomized Design. A. bisporus extract at the doses of 250, 500 and 750 mg/kg body weight (BW) per day were orally applied to alloxan-induced diabetic rats for a period of 14 days after the rats became diabetes. The results showed that the extract of A. bisporus could decrease blood glucose, and MDA levels as well as increase SOD activity (p 0.05). A. bisporus extract 500 mg/kg BW is the most effective dose to be used. Based on Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) test, it was known that secondary metabolites produced by A. bisporus are flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids and saponins. A. bisporus has potential as an antidiabetic through the ability to decrease blood glucose, and MDA levels, as well as increase SOD activity in diabetic rats. This research is able to provide information about the antidiabetic potential of A. bisporus extract so that it can be used as an alternative natural antidiabetic agent and can be applied in the community with ease and in a more controlled industrial scale.
