Abstract

Apigenin-8-C-glycoside (1), a flavonoid glycoside compound has been isolated from the leaves of Macaranga gigantifolia Merr. Isolation and purification conducted by chromatography methods and chemical structure characterization carried out by spectroscopic methods. Cytotoxicity of Apigenin-8-C-glycoside has been tested against Murine leukemia P-388 cell lines and has moderate activity with IC50 values 55.4 μg/mL.

Abstract

Terestrial fungi are of great importance as potential sources of pharmaceutical agent. Aspergillus aculeatus, a fungus isolated from soil sample collected in Indonesia, was cultured in liquid media to investigate a novel compound as inhibitor α-glucosidase. The mycelium extract of A. aculeatus shows potential activity against Saccharomyces cereviseae α-glucosidase and mild activity against mammalian α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 9.57 µg/mL and 470.76 mg/mL, respectively. Enzyme assay-guided fractionation of this extract afforded rubrofusarin (1). Rubrofusarin, a linear naphtho-γ-pyrone, is a natural pigment from Aspergillus sp. Interestingly, compound 1 shows potential inhibitory activity against mammalian α-glucosidase (IC50 of 92.7 µg/mL), but no to S. cereviseae α-glucosidase. The results suggest that A. aculeatus is a promising natural source as a lead compound in the discovery of antidiabetic drug.
