| description |
Phyllanthus is a plant genus that has been used in traditional medicine due to its
phytomedicinal metabolites content. However, there is a lack of consistency and
efficacy of plant of this genus as well as not enough scientific reports to support its
traditional uses specifically in treating diabetes. The main aim of this study was to
investigate the antidiabetic properties of Phyllanthus in vitro and in vivo using
metabolomics approach. The first part of the present study determined the variation
between two Phyllanthus species (P. niruri and P. urinaria) at different growth
stages (8, 10 and 12 weeks) using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR)
combined with multivariate data analysis (MVDA). The results revealed that the
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Square (PLS) showed ideal
differentiation between these species, suggesting the contributed metabolites, which
were responsible for the discrimination. Phyllanthus niruri extracted with 80%
ethanol possessed high antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities compared
to P. urinaria and 10 weeks was the valuable growth age that provides P.
niruri extract with the highest content or/and number of bioactive metabolites. Thus,
P. niruri harvested at 10 weeks was selected in the second part of the study to
optimize the appropriate drying method and solvent for extracting these bioactive
components. Three extracting solvents (methanol, ethanol and water) with different
ratios were assessed for their effects on biological activities of P. niruri subjected to
three drying treatments (air, oven and freeze). The freeze-dried P. niruri samples that
were extracted with 80% ethanol exhibited higher biological activity values
compared to the other extracts. The 80% ethanol extract had the quantities of
epicatechin (172.0 μg/g), ellagic acid (46.67 μg/g), chlorogenic acid (44.33 μg/g),
quercetin (1.73 μg/g), catechin (1.63 μg/g), phyllanthin (46.0 μg/g), and
hypophyllanthin (23.17 μg/g) analyze using high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC). In the third part of this study, the correlation was also
determined among the phytochemical constituents and the bioactivities using PLS
regression. The identified phenolics and hypophyllanthin were strongly correlated
with the antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, suggesting their great
contributions to these activities. The optimized P. niruri extract was further evaluated for in vivo antidiabetic properties at two concentrations (250 and 500
mg/kg body weight) and compared with metformin. The effect of P. niruri extract on
the biochemical parameters of obese–diabetic rats was also investigated. The
development of the obese diabetic model was done by feeding the high fat diet to
Sprague-Dawley rats and inducing diabetic condition with a low dose of
streptozotocin (STZ). The in vivo results indicated that P. niruri extracts of 500
mg/kg bw displayed the management of metabolites disorders of obese diabetic rats
toward the normal state. The phytochemicals of P. niruri extracts might improve the
metabolic disorders caused by diabetes. The extract at a concentration of 500 mg/kg
bw also exhibited a noticeable effect in declining the plasma glucose level and
improving lipid profile in obese diabetic rats as compared to 250 mg extract/kg bw.
Both P. niruri doses showed reduction in the plasma cholesterol and low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) levels and an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The
effect of various metabolites in controlling the diabetes syndromes was discussed.
The present study suggested that P. niruri can be a prominent and constructive
medicinal plant. In conclusion, 1H NMR-based metabolomics approach was
successfully used to optimize the postharvest parameters, provide insights into the
efficacy of P. niruri as a remedy for diabetes, and set the preliminary step towards
developing this herb into high claim products. |
