Hyperuricemia is a condition in which increased levels of uric acid in the blood. Xanthine oxidase role in the oxidation of hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid. One treatment of hyperuricemia is inhibiting xanthine oxidase in the process of formation of uric acid. The purpose of this study to determine the inhibitory activity of xanthine oxidase in the ethanol extract of black betel leaf (Piper sp). Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity test using UV-Vis spectrophotometry in vitro with a concentration of 5 ppm, 10 ppm and 20 ppm. The data obtained were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The result is the ethanol extract of black betel leaf has a different activity significantly and IC50 values obtained is 65.96 ppm.

Background: Various phenolics show inhibitory activity towards xanthine oxidase (XO), an enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species which cause oxidative damage. Objective: This study investigated the XO inhibitory activity of Euphorbia peplus phenolics. Methods: The dried powdered aerial parts of E. peplus were extracted, fractioned and phenolics were isolated and identified. The XO inhibitory activity of E. peplus extract (EPE) and the isolated phenolics was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Results: Three phenolics were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of E. peplus. All isolated compounds and the EPE showed inhibitory activity towards XO in vitro. In hyperuricemic rats, EPE and the isolated phenolics decreased uric acid and XO activity. Molecular docking showed the binding modes of isolated phenolics with XO, depicting significant interactions with the active site amino acid residues. Molecular dynamics simulation trajectories confirmed the interaction of isolated phenolics with XO by forming hydrogen bonds with the active site residues. Also, the root mean square (RMS) deviations of XO and phenolics-XO complexes achieved equilibrium and fluctuated during the 10 ns MD simulations. The radius of gyration and solvent accessible surface area investigations showed that different systems were stabilized at ≈ 2500 ps. The RMS fluctuations profile depicted that the drug binding site exhibited a rigidity behavior during the simulation. Conclusion: In vitro, in vivo and computational investigations showed the XO inhibitory activity of E. peplus phenolics. These phenolics might represent promising candidates for the development of XO inhibitors.

Diospyros dumetorum is an important folk medicine for treating pulmonary abscess and inflammation. The leaves of D. dumetorum revealed xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activity. With the guidance of UFLC-MS-IT-TOF analyses combined with bioassay in vitro, 15 flavonoids were isolated from the active parts of D. dumetorum. Except for 11 (IC50 > 200μM), all compounds showed obvious XOD inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 32.5 ± 0.7 ~ 145.0 ± 3.3 μM. The preliminary structure-activity relationships study suggested that glycosylation on C-3 was unfavorable for XOD inhibitory activity; hydroxyl groups on ring B were essential for maintaining activity; the activity was closely related with the position of galloylation. This is the first recognition of the XOD inhibitory activity and active constituents of D. dumetorum, and will provide valuable information for this plant as a new resource for treating hyperuricemia and gout.

We demonstrate that NMR-based metabolomics studies can be used to identify xanthine oxidase-inhibitory compounds in the diethyl ether soluble fraction prepared from a methanolic extract of Sophora flavescens. Loading plot analysis, accompanied by direct comparison of 1H NMR spectra exhibiting characteristic signals, identified compounds exhibiting inhibitory activity. NMR analysis indicated that these characteristic signals were attributed to flavanones such as sophoraflavanone G and kurarinone. Sophoraflavanone G showed inhibitory activity towards xanthine oxidase in an in vitro assay.

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.

Aktivitas inhibisi XO ditetapkan dengan mengukur kadar asam urat yang terbentuk pada sistem xantin/XO in vitro. Kadar polifenol ekstrak diukur menggunakan pereaksi Folin-Ciocalteu secara spektrofotometri. Hasil analisis menyatakan bahwa kualitas ekstrak kental sappan memenuhi persyaratan yang ada. Pengujian inhibisi XO dengan pembanding positif allopurinol pada konsentrasi akhir ekstrak sebesar 100 µg/mL menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak mempunyai kekuatan menginhibisi XO sebesar 98% relatif terhadap pembanding positif allopurinol. Kadar senyawa polifenol total dalam ekstrak sappan sebesar 26% dari ekstrak kasar. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa ekstrak sappan mempunyai potensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai bahan untuk mengatasi hiperurisemia.Kata Kunci: hiperurisemia, polifenol total, sappan, xantin, xantin oksidase
