| 總結: | Young fruits of Garcinia mangostana L. from Guttiferae family and leaves of Piper
betle from Piperaceae family were phytochemically studied and screened for their
biological activities. The young fruits of Garcinia mangostana L. were collected from
Negeri Sembilan while the leaves of Piper betle were collected from Sabah. The
phytochemical works involved extraction of the plant materials with organic solvents of
different polarity and chromatographic separation of the extracts with several techniques
to obtain pure compounds. The structures of the compounds were determined by using
spectroscopic techniques such as IR, MS, NMR and UV. The crude extracts from both
plants were screened for antimicrobial (against four pathogenic bacteria and 3
pathogenic fungi), cytotoxic activities and antioxidant using disc diffusion method,
Tetrazolium Salt (MTT) assays and 1,2-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrayl (DPPH) respectively.
Three isolated compounds, epicatechin (39), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (114) (both from
mangostana L.) and 2-allyl-3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (115) (from P. betle) were
tested for antioxidant by using DPPH.Separation of the extracts of young fruits of Garcinia mangostana L. afforded seven
chemical compounds identified as methylparaben (110), methyl 3,4,5-
trihydroxybenzoate (111), parvifoliol A1 (112), methyl 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate (113), 4-
hydroxybenzoic acid (114), epicatechin (39) and a xanthone, mangostanin (20) after
extensive various chromatographic techniques. Two compounds, methylparaben (110)
and methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate (111) have not been previously reported to occur in
Garcinia mangostana. This is the first report on the occurrence of these compounds in
Garcinia mangostana and the proper technical name for methylparaben (110) is methyl
4-hydroxybenzoate. On isolation and purification of the leaves extracts of Piper betle
led to the isolation of four compounds chavibetol (77), 2-hydroxychavicol (80), β-
sitosterol (47) and 2-allyl-3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (115).
The antimicrobial activity test for both plant extracts was carried out using seven
microbes namely, methicilin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Bacillus substili,
Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Aspergillus
ochraceaus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, no activity was observed in the
crude extracts of both Garcinia mangostana L. and Piper betle. The same results were
obtained for the cytotoxic activity using Tetrazolium Salt (MTT) assay. When tested for
antioxidant by using 1,2-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrayl (DPPH), all the crude extracts failed
to exhibit any activity. However two of the isolated compounds, epicatechin (39) and 2-
allyl-3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (115) showed strong activity with IC50 < 7.81 μg/mL
in comparison with the standard, ascorbic acid (IC50 < 11.70 μg/mL). |
