Histone Deacetylase, Xanthine Oxidase and Urease Inhibitory Activities of Eremurus spectabilisM. Bieb. Extracts

Abstract

Objective: Natural ingredients derived from plants (especially ed-ible ones) continue to be investigated for understanding whether they have therapeutic/preventive effects on certain ailments, such as cancer and gastrointestinal disorders. The main goal of the current work is to investigate the inhibitory potential of Eremurus (E) spectabilis M. Bieb. extracts on histone deacetylase (HDAC), xanthine oxidase (XO) and urease activities.

Material and Method: Fresh E. spectabilis leaves were obtained from a local market in Eyup/Istanbul. Inhibitory activities of ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts on HDAC, XO and urease were examined.

Results: According to our findings, ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of E. spectabilis both have revealed apparent inhibitory effects against all examined enzymes. Ethanolic extract showed a better inhibitory effect on HDAC than ethyl acetate extract. On the other hand, the inhibitory effects of ethyl acetate extract against both XO and urease were higher than the ethanolic extract.

Conclusion: Consequently, due to the inhibitory effects of the plant being studied, it might be suggested that it can be used for medicinal purposes, in raw extract form, or as a source of bioactive compounds.

Eremurus spectabilis Bieb. Ekstrelerinin Histon Deasetilaz, Ksantin Oksidaz ve Üreaz İnhibitör Aktiviteleri

Abstract

Amaç: Bitkilerden elde edilen doğal bileşiklerin (özellikle yenilebilir olanlar), kanser ve gastrointestinal bozukluklar gibi belirli rahatsız-lıklar üzerinde tedavi edici/önleyici etkilerinin olup olmadığı araştırılmaya devam etmektedir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, Eremurus (E) spectabilis M. Bieb. ekstrelerinin histon deasetilaz (HDAC), ksantin oksidaz (XO) ve üreaz aktiviteleri üzerindeki inhibitör etkilerini araştırmaktır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: E. spectabilis’in taze yaprakları, Eyüp/İstanbul’daki, yerel bir pazardan temin edilmiştir. Etanol ve etil asetat ekstrelerinin HDAC, XO ve üreaz üzerindeki inhibitör aktiviteleri incelenmiştir.

Bulgular: Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, E. spectabilis'in hem etanol hem de etil asetat ekstrelerinin incelenen tüm enzimler üzerinde belirgin inhibitör etkiye sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Etanol ekstresi, HDAC üzerinde etil asetat ekstresinden daha iyi bir inhibisyon etkisi göstermiştir. Etil asetat ekstresinin ise, hem XO hem de üreaza karşı inhibisyon etkisinin, etanol ekstresinden daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür.

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, incelenen bitkinin gösterdiği inhibitör etkiler nedeni ile, bu bitkinin tıbbi amaçla, ham ekstre şeklinde veya biyoaktif bileşik kaynağı olarak kullanılabileceği ileri sürülebilir.
