Abstract

Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng is a type of Lamiaceae perennial herb that is widely used in folk treatments for respiratory and skin diseases. Notably, research on the hypouricemic effect of P. amboinicus is limited. This study investigated the uric acid–reducing efficacy of P. amboinicus in mice with potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemia by performing an in vitro xanthine-oxidase-inhibition-activity-guided test of P. amboinicus extract (PAE) and its fractions. The ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) of PAE exhibited optimal efficacy in terms of the phenolic content, DPPH scavenging activity, and xanthine oxidase inhibition. We further demonstrated the uric acid–reducing activity of EAF in a mouse model of potassium bromate–induced hyperuricemia. The results can serve as a useful preclinical reference for researching the gout prevention effects of functional foods. Keywords: Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng, hyperuricemia, uric acid–reducing activity
Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng 对氧化钾诱导的高尿酸血症小鼠的降尿酸功效
Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng 是一种唇形科多年生草本植物,在民间被广泛用于治疗呼吸道疾病和皮肤病。值得注意的是,有关 P. amboinicus 降尿酸作用的研究还很有限。本研究通过体外黄嘌呤过氧化物酶抑制活性引导试验,研究了杏鲍菇提取物(PAE)及其馏分对氧化钾诱导的高尿酸血症小鼠的降尿酸作用。PAE的乙酸乙酯馏分(EAF)在酚含量、DPPH清除活性和黄嘌呤氧化酶抑制方面表现出最佳功效。我们还在溴酸钾诱导的高尿酸血症小鼠模型中进一步证实了 EAF 的降尿酸活性。这些结果可作为研究功能食品预防痛风作用的临床前参考。 关键词藿香正气水 高尿酸血症 尿酸还原活性
