Evaluation of xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity and polyphenolic content of sappan extractABSTRACTHyperuricemia is a disease that is characterized by a high uric acid level, in which the number of patients tends to increase every year. This research was intended to evaluate the xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activity and determinate the total polyphenol content of heartwood sappan (Caesalpinia sappan L.) extract. The extract was prepared by macerating the dry powder wood using 70% ethanol at room temperature. The quality of ethanolic extract obtained was evaluated based on BPOM guideline. XO inhibitory power was determined by measuring uric acid produced in the xanthine/XO system in vitro. The polyphenol content of the extract was measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent spectrophotometrically. The results showed that the quality of sappan semisolid extract fulfilled the required standard. Sappan extract inhibited XO activity by 98% relative to the positive control, allopurinol, at the final extract concentration of 100 µg/mL. The total polyphenol content was 26% of the crude extract. It could be concluded that sappan ethanolic extract has the potential to be developed as an ingredient for hyperuricemia treatment.Keywords: hyperuricemia, sappan, total polyphenol, xanthine, xanthine oxidase ABSTRAKHiperurisemia adalah penyakit yang dicirikan dengan kadar asam urat tinggi dimana prevalensi penderita cenderung meningkat.

 Objective: Hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels) prevalence increased year by year. This study was aimed to elaborate the in vitro xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activity and in vivo lowering hyperuricemic effect of Uncaria gambir (Hunter) Roxb) (gambir), Caesalpinia sappan L. (secang) and the combined extract of secang and gambir (formulae extract [FE]).Methods: Gambir and secang extracts were prepared by maceration with ethanol and FE was the proportioned combination of these two extracts. XO inhibitory activity was determined by measuring the formation of uric acid in the xanthine/XO system in vitro using allopurinol as a positive control at 100 ug/mL. Antioxidant activity was by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical reducing methods. The in vivo experiments were conducted in the oxonate-induced hyperuricemia rat model, in which FE was gavaged p.o. at the arrange dose of 75, 150, and 300 mg/kg bw for 2 weeks. Polyphenol content was measured using Folin–Ciocalteu reagent spectrophotometrically.Results: The XO inhibitory activity of FE was 80% of allopurinol, while secang and gambir were 98% and 50%, respectively. The strength was appropriate to the total polyphenol content, in which it decreased in the order of secang (99%) > FE (86%) > gambir (46%). Furthermore, FE at all tested doses was able to decrease uric acid levels. FE also demonstrated antioxidant activity with a value of 74% relative to Vitamin C at 4 ug/mL.Conclusion: These studies could be concluded that FE exhibited the ability to decrease uric acid level so that it was potential to be developed further as a uric acid-lowering agent.

The plant Morinda citrifolia L. (noni) has been the focus of many recent studies due to its potential effects on treatment and prevention of several diseases. However, there are few in vivo and in vitro studies concerning its composition and antioxidant capacity. The aim of the present study was to determine the total polyphenol content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity of a juice commercialized as noni juice, but containing grape, blueberry and noni fruits. Commercial noni juice was compared against its separate constituents of blueberry and grape juice. Folin-Ciocalteu and DPPH• methods were used to determine the concentration of total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, respectively. Commercial noni juice presented higher values of TPC (91.90 mg of gallic acid/100 mL juice) and antioxidant activity (5.85 mmol/L) compared to its 5% diluted constituents. Concentrated blueberry juice presented higher TPC and antioxidant activity than the other juices analyzed. Considering that the blueberry and grape juices account for only 10% in the composition of commercial noni juice, it can be inferred that these two components contribute significantly to the antioxidant activity. Therefore, additional studies are necessary in order to elucidate the contribution of the noni juice as an antioxidant.

Red cabbage is a native vegetable of the Mediterranean region that represents one of the major sources of anthocyanins. The aim of this research is to evaluate the antioxidant capability and total polyphenol content (TPC) of a red cabbage extract and to compare acquired data with those from the same extract encapsulated in an acid-resistant capsule. The extract, which was qualitatively and quantitatively profiled by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS analysis, contained a high content of anthocyanins and phenolic acids, whereas non-anthocyanin flavonoids were the less abundant compounds. An in vitro gastrointestinal digestion system was utilized to follow the extract’s metabolism in humans and to evaluate its colon bioaccessibility. Data obtained showed that during gastrointestinal digestion, the total polyphenol content of the extract digested in the acid-resistant capsule in the Pronase E stage resulted in a higher concentration value compared to the extract digested without the capsule. Reasonably, these results could be attributed to the metabolization process by human colonic microflora and to the genesis of metabolites with greater bioactivity and more beneficial effects. The use of red cabbage extract encapsulated in an acid-resistant capsule could improve the polyphenols’ bioaccessibility and be proposed as a red cabbage-based nutraceutical formulation for counteracting stress oxidative diseases.

The present study aimed to determine the total polyphenol content and total antioxidant activities of ten selected seasonal fruit extracts grown in Sri Lanka. The aqueous refluxed fruit extracts (4h) were used at the initial concentration of 0.05 g/mL. The total polyphenol content was determined according to the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The total antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric reducing power) and TBA (thiobabituric acid assay) assays with L-ascorbic acid as the reference compound. The total polyphenol content of the fruit extracts varied from 0.81±0 to 17.54±0.50 mg GAE (gallic acid equivalents) per gram of dry weight. The antioxidant activities ranged in IC50 of 46.60±0.60 to 367.90 ± 4.90 μg/mL, 3.41±0.02 to 50.46±1.02 µM, 30.62±0.50 to 182.64±0.90 mg AAE (L-ascorbic acid equivalents) per gram of dry weight for DPPH, FRAP, TBA assays, respectively. All aqueous fruit extracts exert dose dependent in vitro antioxidant activities in different degrees. Among the selected fruit extracts S. carophylatum, P. zeylanica, A. comosus exert relatively high total antioxidant activity together with high total polyphenol content. Hence, the selected fruit extracts are deserved to be as potent sources for antioxidant lead compounds in the development of nutraceuticals using the above edible fruits.
