Bioactivities of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and profiling of its bioactive polyphenols by HPLC-DAD

Abstract: Background: In folk medicine leaves and stem of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (L.) are commonly used to treat diarrhea, fever, diabetes, pain and a number of ailments. The present study was carried out to explore antioxidant, analgesic and antidiarrhoeal activities of ethanol extract of leaves and stem of B. gymnorrhiza and also to analyze its major bioactive natural polyphenols by HPLC-DAD. Methods: Total polyphenol content was spectrophotometrically determined using Folin Chiocalteu's reagent while the flavonoids by… Show more

“…As a food with starch, B. gymnorrhiza fruit (BGF) are sliced, soaked to flush out the tannins and then ground to a paste, which can be an ingredient for pastry (Bandaranayake and Marshes, 1998). In addition, BGF has been commonly used to treat chronic diarrhea for many years (Mahmud et al, 2017), which are also known as ulcerative colitis according to TCM theory. However, current investigations have been mainly focused on its anticancer and anti-diabetic effects, seldom endeavor has been dedicated to illuminating its traditional application like diarrhea.…”

“…A recent study isolated 28 entophytic bacteria from the leaves and roots of Cenchrus fungigraminus ( Jing et al, 2022 ). Similarly, 24 endophytes were isolated from different parts of Bruguiera gymnorhiza ( Mahmud et al, 2017 ). However, the number of endophytic bacteria in any plant species is very high, never so far isolated more than 200 bacterial species.…”
