Abstract

Forest honey is a natural product derived from the nectar of wild plants and is known to contain various bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids and phenolics, which contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential. Buton Regency in Southeast Sulawesi is recognized as a producer of forest honey; however, scientific studies on its biological activities remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the free radical scavenging activity and anti-inflammatory effects of Buton forest honey through both in vitro and in vivo approaches. Antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH and ABTS assays, while anti-inflammatory evaluation involved inhibition of BSA protein denaturation and a mouse ear edema model induced by xylene. The honey exhibited IC₅₀ values of 71.69 ± 2.73 mg/L (DPPH) and 49.23 ± 4.24 mg/L (ABTS). Its protein denaturation inhibition showed an IC₅₀ of 14.17 ± 3.18 mg/L. In vivo testing demonstrated that high-dose honey significantly reduced ear thickness in mice, with a percentage of inhibition comparable to diclofenac sodium. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) across most parameters. These findings indicate that Buton forest honey holds promise as a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

Abstract

Forest honey is a natural product rich in bioactive compounds, particularly phenolics and flavonoids, which contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. East Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi, is recognized as a potential source of forest honey; however, scientific data regarding its biological activity remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of forest honey from East Kolaka using in vitro and in vivo approaches. Antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH, ABTS, and β-carotene bleaching assays, while anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated through inhibition of nitric oxide production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells and a xylene-induced mouse ear edema model. The results demonstrated notable antioxidant activity, with IC₅₀ values of 68.16 ± 1.18 mg/L (DPPH), 56.36 ± 3.72 mg/L (ABTS), and 4.11 ± 0.66 mg/L (BCB). Additionally, the honey significantly suppressed nitric oxide production in vitro and reduced ear edema in vivo, with the highest dose showing comparable effectiveness to sodium diclofenac. These findings indicate that East Kolaka forest honey has promising potential for development as a functional food or nutraceutical derived from local natural resources.
