Abstract
ABSTRACT Knoxia sumatrensis leaf extracts in methanol were analyzed for the phytochemical compositions, antioxidant properties (DPPH, ABTS, and hydroxyl radical assay), anti-proliferative activity (lung cancer A549 and breast cancer MCF-7 cell lines), and mosquito larvicidal properties. The GC-MS analysis showed the presence of eight bioactive compounds of which the hexadecanoic Acid, 2-Propyl-, methyl Ester, and 2,3-anhydro-D-Mannosan were the two major compounds present. The bioactive compounds present included phenolics and flavonoids (55.0 ± 1.3 mg GAE g−1 d.w. and 42.5 ± 0.5 mg RE g−1 d.w.). FT-IR analysis detected the presence of aldehydes and anhydrites functional groups. Antioxidant properties were positively associated with the secondary metabolites. The anti-proliferative activity of methanolic leaf extracts showed the IC50 values 135.82 and 181.73 μg mL−1 for A549 and MCF-7, respectively. The methanolic extract also showed larvicidal activity on three mosquito species with highest toxicity on Culex quinquefasciatus larvae with LC50 4.84 mg mL−1 and LC90 19.33 mg mL−1.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
