Abstrak

Annona muricata atau durian belanda adalah sejenis tumbuhan yang berada daripada famili Annonaceae, sering digunakan sebagai ubat tradisi untuk merawat pelbagai penyakit termasuk kanser, artritis dan malaria. Tumbuhan herba ini mengandungi sebatian bioaktif yang berpolar dan tidak berpolar. Penggunaan pelarut yang sesuai amat penting untuk mengekstrak sebatian bioaktif yang diinginkan dan juga mempengaruhi bioaktiviti ekstrak tersebut. Oleh itu, penyelidikan ini dijalankan untuk menentukan kesan pengekstrakan menggunakan pelarut berbeza polariti iaitu 70% metanol, etil asetat dan n-heksana terhadap aktiviti antioksidan, anti-lipase serta perencatan α-glukosidase ekstrak A. muricata. Selain itu, sebatian bioaktif yang menyumbang kepada bioaktiviti yang dikaji dikenal pasti menggunakan kromatografi cecair-spektrometer jisim (LC-MS). Dalam kajian ini, penentuan jumlah kandungan fenolik dalam ekstrak daun A. muricata dilakukan. Aktiviti antioksidan ekstrak daun A. muricata dinilai dengan ujian penyingkiran radikal bebas 2,2-difenil-2-pikrilhidrazil (DPPH) manakala aktiviti antihiperglisemik dan aktiviti anti-lipase dikaji dengan ujian perencatan α-glukosidase dan ujian perencatan lipase pankreas. Sampel yang diekstrak dengan etil asetat menunjukkan nilai IC50 terendah secara signifikan (p<0.05) pada aktiviti antioksidan (35.31 ± 2.74 µg/mL), aktiviti anti-hiperglisemik (32.11 ± 4.62 µg/mL) serta anti-lipase (215.92 ± 13.25 µg/mL) berbanding dengan ekstrak 70% metanol dan n-heksana. Sampel tersebut juga menunjukkan kandungan fenolik yang tinggi iaitu sebanyak 46.40 ± 1.95 mg GAE/g ekstrak. Korelasi negatif antara TPC dengan nilai IC50 DPPH dan anti-hiperglisemik menunjukkan sebatian fenolik bertanggungjawab terhadap aktiviti antioksidan dan anti-hiperglisemik. Sebanyak 13 sebatian bioaktif termasuk kaemferol, kuersetin-3-O-glikosida dan kuersetin telah dikenal pasti melalui analisis LC-MS. Berdasarkan kepada  kajian, etil asetat adalah pelarut yang paling baik untuk melarutkan sebatian aktif pada daun A. muricata berbanding dengan 70% metanol dan n-heksana. Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan keupayaan daun A. muricata untuk dibangunkan sebagai makanan fungsian atau ubat-ubatan bagi mencegah atau mengubati diabetes dan mengawal obesiti.

Abstract

Annona muricata or Soursop is a plant that belongs to the family Annonaceae and used as traditional medicine to treat many diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and malaria. Medicinal plants contain bioactive compounds in polar and non-polar form. The use of suitable solvent in extraction is important to extract the desired bioactive compounds and it also influences the biological activities of the extract. Therefore, this study is carried out to determine the effect of solvent polarity (70% methanol, ethyl acetate and n-hexane) on antioxidant, anti-hyperglycaemic and anti-obesity activities. Besides, the bioactive compounds that contribute to the biological activities are identified using liquid chromatography - mass spectrometer (LC-MS). The phenolic content of A. muricata leave extracts is determined in this study using total phenolic content (TPC). The antioxidant activity is determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay while the anti-hyperglycaemic and anti-lipase activities were conducted by α-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase inhibition assays, respectively. Samples extracted with ethyl acetate showed the significantly lowest IC50 for antioxidant activity (35.31 ± 2.74 µg/mL), anti-hyperglycaemic activity (32.11 ± 4.62 µg/mL) and anti-lipase assay (215.92 ± 13.25 µg/mL). The same extract also exhibited high phenolic content (46.40 ± 1.95 mg GAE/g extracts). The negative correlation between TPC and DPPH and anti-hyperglycaemic activity showed that the phenolic compounds may be responsible for the antioxidant and anti-hyperglycaemic activities. In total, 13 bioactive compounds including kaemferol, quercetin-3-O-glucoside and quercetin were identified using LC-MS. This study showed that ethyl acetate is the best solvent to dissolve the active compounds in A. muricata leave extracts. This study also showed that A. muricata leave has the potential to become functional food or natural medicine to prevent or cure diabetes and used in the management of obesity.
