Fucoxanthin, Tetraprenylated Toluquinone and Toluhydroquinone Metabolites from Sargassum heterophyllum Inhibit the in vitro Growth of the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Abstract: In the course of our search for antimalarial leads from marine algae, four metabolites, sargaquinoic acid, sargahydroquinoic acid, sargaquinal and fucoxanthin, were isolated from the South African alga Sargassum heterophyllum. Fucoxanthin and sargaquinal showed good antiplasmodial activity toward a chloroquine-sensitive strain (D10) of Plasmodium falciparum (IC 50 1.5 and 2.0 μm, respectively), while sargaquinoic acid and sargahydroquinoic acid were only moderately active (IC 50 12.0 and 15.2 μm, respectively).

“…Among the Phaeophyceae, the genus Sargassum is well known to produce compounds with antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumoral, antimalarial, antiherbivory and antifouling (AF) properties (Amsler and Fairhead 2006;Rastian et al 2007;Afolayan et al 2008;Heo and Jeon 2009;Plouguerné et al 2010). Rather than screening among a wide variety of different species of macroalgae for AF activity (e.g.…”

“…Ikatan alenik pada f ukosantin bertanggung jawab terhadap aktivitas antioksidannya (Sachindra et al, 2007) sedangkan efek antiproliferasi fukosantin kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh adanya struktur 5,6-epoksi pada fukosantin (Asai, Sugawara, Ono & Nagao, 2004). Afolayan, Bolton, Lategan, Smith & Beukes (2008) juga menduga ada hubungan antara ikatan alenik dengan sif at antiplasmodial pada fukosantin. Hasil analisis secara in silico memperlihatkan bahwa gugus karboksil pada fukosantin membentuk ikatan hidrogen dengan tubulin pada sel yang berakibat pada depolimerasasi mikrotubulin dan penghambatan siklus sel (Januar, Dewi,Marraskuranto & Wikanta, 2012 …”
