Abstract

Fingerroot (Boesenbergia rotunda) is a medicinal plant that has been reported to have anti-diabetic properties. However, the mechanism of action and the active compounds responsible for this effect are not well understood. In this study, we performed molecular docking study of isolated compound from fingerroot against N-terminal-human intestinal maltase-glucoamylase, one class of α-glucosidase. Inhibiting enzymatic activity of alpha glucosidase could potentially control sugar levels. In addition to panduratin A showing moderate inhibition activity against N-terminal-human intestinal maltase-glucoamylase.

Abstract

Boesenbergia rotunda has antioxidant potential to inhibit free radicals. Antioxidant activity was determined by free radical scavenging activity against DPPH, ABTS and Cuprac. The results showed that the hexane extract of Boesenbergia rotunda had a strong percent antioxidant activity with a value of 91.38, while ascorbic acid as a positive control had a value of 99.85. Antioxidant activity test results showed that hexane and dichloromethane extracts have DPPH, ABTS, and cuprac free radical scavenging activities

Abstract

This study investigated the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of Baccaurea bracteata Müll.Arg. and Macaranga lowii King ex Hook.f. from East Kalimantan. The leaves of these plant extracts were evaluated for their total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity, utilizing the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay. The findings indicated that Baccaurea bracteata Müll.Arg. demonstrated superior antioxidant activity with a percent inhibition (PI) value of 68.31 ± 0.11%. This research highlights Baccaurea bracteata Müll.Arg. as a promising source of natural antioxidants, characterized by high total phenolic content of 14.76 ± 1.98 mgGAE/g.
