Diabetes mellitus is a widely occurring non-communicable disease that is rapidly spreading worldwide. It results from the dysregulation of glucose in the bloodstream or the improper functioning of the enzymes α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Endophytes are microorganisms that reside symbiotically within the living tissues of plants. Endophytic fungi possess the ability to synthesize various important bioactive metabolites. The current study aims to explore the less-reported endophytic fungus , isolated from the ethnobotanical medicinal plant L. The methanolic extract of the endophytic fungus was subjected to in vitro antioxidant assays, anti-inflammatory assays, and antidiabetic assays, in addition to analyzing the total phenolic and total flavonoid content, along with the phytochemicals present. The results revealed that Aspergillus austwickii contains phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins, and carbohydrates. The total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of the fungus were found to be 22.048 µg GAE/g and 18.828 µg QE/g, respectively. The crude extract demonstrated 46.20±0.53% antioxidant activity, with an IC50 value of 128.69 µg/mL for radical scavenging as determined by the DPPH assay. It also exhibited 71.86±0.34% anti-inflammatory activity in the protein denaturation assay. Notably, it displayed antidiabetic activity against both α-amylase and α-glucosidase, with percentage inhibitions of 68.22±0.17% and 73.72±0.18%, and IC50 values of 178.10 µg/mL and 166.16 µg/mL, respectively. The current study indicates that the methanolic extract of possesses significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties. The findings of this research can inform future studies aimed at discovering new natural drugs to combat various disorders.
糖尿病是一种广泛发生的非传染性疾病,正在全球迅速蔓延。它是由血液中葡萄糖调节异常或α-淀粉酶和α-葡萄糖苷酶的功能异常引起的。内生菌是共生在植物活组织内的微生物。内生真菌具有合成各种重要生物活性代谢物的能力。本研究旨在探索从民族植物药植物L中分离出的报道较少的内生真菌。除了分析总酚和总黄酮含量以及存在的植物化学物质外,还对内生真菌的甲醇提取物进行了体外抗氧化试验、抗炎试验和抗糖尿病试验。结果表明,奥氏曲霉含有生物碱、酚类、黄酮类、单宁和碳水化合物等植物成分。该真菌的总酚含量和总黄酮含量分别为22.048μg GAE/g和18.828μg QE/g。粗提取物表现出46.20±0.53%的抗氧化活性,通过DPPH试验测定其清除自由基的IC50值为128.69μg/mL。在蛋白质变性试验中,它还表现出71.86±0.34%的抗炎活性。值得注意的是,它对α-淀粉酶和α-葡萄糖苷酶均显示出抗糖尿病活性,抑制率分别为68.22±0.17%和73.72±0.18%,IC50值分别为178.10μg/mL和166.16μg/mL。目前的研究表明,的甲醇提取物具有显著的抗氧化、抗炎和抗糖尿病特性。本研究结果可为未来旨在发现对抗各种疾病的新天然药物的研究提供参考。
