Abstract

Background: Artocarpus altilis leaf extract (AAL.E) was separated by VLC, and six fractions were obtained. Fraction 5 (AAL.E.5) showed antimalarial activity with an IC50 value of 3.71 µg/mL. Objective: This study aimed to determine the antimalarial activity of AAL.E.5 subfractions against P. falciparum, the mechanism of action against Plasmodium Falciparum Malate quinone oxidoreductase (PfMQO), and the active substances. Methods: The AAL.E.5 was separated by open-column chromatography and eluted with chloroform-methanol gradient elution in order of increasing polarity. The antimalarial activity of all subfractions was assessed using a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay against P. falciparum and the mechanism of action of the PfMQO enzyme. The profiles of the most active subfractions were analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Results: The separation of fraction 5 (AAL.E.5) yielded 11 subfractions (AAL.E.5.1–AAL.E.5.11). Screening antimalarial activity at 10 μg/mL in this subfraction showed that only five subfractions (AAL.E.5.6-AAL. E.5.10) inhibited P. falciparum and two subfractions (AAL.E.5.6 and AAL.E.5.10) inhibited the PfMQO enzyme. Only subfraction 6 (AAL.E.5.6) inhibited both, with IC50 values of 6.609 µg/mL and 20.34 µg/mL. The thin layer chromatography profile of AAL.E.5.6 revealed reddish-orange spots, indicating the presence of flavonoid compounds, and was also presumed from the UV-visible to HPLC chromatogram for band I in the 300 – 400 nm range and band II in the 240–285 nm range. Conclusion: Subfraction 6 has antimalarial activity against P. falciparum and is thought to have a mechanism of action in PfMQO. Based on the TLC, HPLC, and UV-Vis spectra, subfraction 6 was assumed to be a flavonoid.

Abstract

In the last few decades, many diseases have been caused by Radical Oxidative Stress (ROS) or free radicals. Compounds that act as natural antioxidants have been widely developed to counteract these free radicals. Rhizpora mucronata was a mangrove species reported to possess strong antioxidant activity. However, the research is limited to extracts; fractions with more specific compound components have not been explored. The n-hexane fraction of R. mucronata leaves was reported to have high total flavonoid content (TFC). The TFC has a positive correlation with antioxidant activity. Therefore, this study aimed to simplify the compound components in the n-hexane fraction of R. mucronata leaves using gravity column chromatography (GCG) and determine their antioxidant activity. The n-hexane fraction was fractionated using GCG with increasing solvent polarity (n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol). The fractions were tested for antioxidant activity using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) methods. The fractionation using GCG resulted in 80 fractions. These fractions were grouped based on their thin-layer chromatography (TLC) profiles, resulting in 12 groups of fractions (A-L). Fractions D, F, G, H, J, K, and L, the fractions with enough yield, determined their antioxidant activity using the DPPH and ABTS methods. Fractions D and J tested by the DPPH method had IC50 values of 28.68 ± 1.58 ppm and 9.59 ± 0.39 ppm, respectively. Meanwhile, fractions D and J tested by the ABTS method had IC50 values of 15.10 ± 1.00 ppm and 3.16 ± 0.55 ppm, respectively. Meanwhile, fractions F, G, H, K, and L exhibit antioxidant activity with IC50 values greater than 100 ppm. Fractions D and J have potent antioxidant activity, and both were tested using DPPH and ABTS methods. Therefore, fractions D and J can be further developed as natural antioxidants.
