Objective: Stelechocarpus burahol, (Bl.) Hook f. & Th. is a plant widely distributed in Java Island of Indonesia. The aim of this study is to identify compounds from the leaves of S. burahol that exhibited activity as xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI).
Methods:The leaves were extracted with aqueous ethanol and hydrolyzed with HCl methanol, then, partitioned sequentially with chloroform and ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate fractions were separated by column chromatography with cellulose as stationary phase and methanol 50% as mobile phase.Results: Purification from this extracts afforded three compounds with one compound identified, namely kaempferol. The four compounds possessed as XOI with IC 50 values ranging from 0.27 to 0.45 µg/ml.
Conclusion:Kaempferol exhibited the highest inhibition of 0.27 µg/ml.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
