DPP-IV Inhibitory, Antibacterial and Anticancer of Rhinacanthus Nasutus Leaves Extract
摘要
Cancer, diabetes, and antibiotic resistance of bacteria are serious problems in the field of health care and medicine. This research aims to determine the inhibition of DPP-IV in vitro, anticancer and antimicrobial properties of ethanol extract (TP) and its subfraction of ethyl ether extract (EE), chloroform (CF), n-butanol (BU), and water (WA) from the leaves of Rhinacanthus nasutus. In this study, the medicinal powder was extracted with 96% alcohol to get the ethanol extract. An amount of TP extract was dissolved in water before being extracted with increasing polarity solvents to yield ethyl ether (EE), chloroform (CF), n-butanol (BU), and water fractions (WA) from Rhinacanthus nasutus leaves. All extracts were tested in vitro for DPP-IV enzyme inhibition, anticancer, and antibacterial activities. The highest DPP-IV enzyme inhibitor efficacy was found in CF extract with an IC50 of 134.18 μg/mL. CF extract has the highest antibacterial resistance (the largest antibacterial circle diameter) and the highest MIC value of CF for bacterial Sta.aureus và B.subtilis: 625 μg/mL and 5000 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, the research results also evaluated the highest cytotoxic activity against breast cancer cells (MCF-7) in the ethyl ether fraction with inhibitory rate of 22.31 ± 1.85% (extract concentration at 100 µg/mL). The results of this study provide direction for further investigations into the application of Rhinacanthus nasutus as an antimicrobial and treatment for diabetes.
