Plants from Gynura family was used in this study, namely, Gynura procumbens and Gynura bicolor. Gynura procumbens is well known for its various medicinal properties such as antihyperglycaemic, antihyperlipidaemic, and antiulcerogenic; meanwhile, G. bicolor remains unexploited. Several nonenzymatic antioxidants methods were utilized to study the antioxidant capacity, which include ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, total flavonoid content, total phenolic content, and ascorbic acid content determination. DPPH assay reveals G. procumbens shoot as the lowest (66.885%) and G. procumbens root as the highest (93.499%) DPPH radical inhibitor. In FRAP assay, reducing power was not detected in G. procumbens leaf callus (0.000 TEAC mg/g FW) whereby G. procumbens root exhibits the highest (1.103 TEAC mg/g FW) ferric reducing power. Total phenolic content and total flavonoid content exhibited similar trend for both the intact plants analysed. In all antioxidant assays, G. procumbens callus culture exhibits very low antioxidant activity. However, G. procumbens root exhibited highest phenolic content, flavonoid content, and ascorbic acid content with 4.957 TEAC mg/g FW, 543.529 QE µg/g FW, and 54.723 µg/g FW, respectively. This study reveals that G. procumbens root extract is a good source of natural antioxidant.
本研究使用了紫背菜属植物,即平卧菊三七和红凤菜。平卧菊三七因其多种药用特性而闻名,如抗高血糖、抗高血脂和抗溃疡;与此同时,红凤菜尚未得到开发利用。采用了几种非酶抗氧化剂方法来研究抗氧化能力,包括铁还原抗氧化能力(FRAP)、2,2-二苯基-1-苦基肼(DPPH)自由基清除测定、总黄酮含量、总酚含量和抗坏血酸含量测定。DPPH测定显示,平卧菊三七地上部分是最低的DPPH自由基抑制剂(66.885%),而平卧菊三七根部是最高的(93.499%)。在FRAP测定中,平卧菊三七叶片愈伤组织未检测到还原能力(0.000 TEAC mg/g FW),而平卧菊三七根部表现出最高的铁还原能力(1.103 TEAC mg/g FW)。对于所分析的两种完整植物,总酚含量和总黄酮含量呈现出相似的趋势。在所有抗氧化测定中,平卧菊三七愈伤组织培养物表现出非常低的抗氧化活性。然而,平卧菊三七根部的酚含量、黄酮含量和抗坏血酸含量最高,分别为4.957 TEAC mg/g FW、543.529 QE µg/g FW和54.723 µg/g FW。本研究表明,平卧菊三七根提取物是天然抗氧化剂的良好来源。
