In Vitro Effect of Some Plant Extracts on Serum Catalase, Myeloperoxidase and Paraoxonase 1

Abstract

Background: It is emphasized that natural plants rich in phenolic content can be used in traditional and complementary medicine for therapeutic purposes. For this purpose, effects of the water extracts of Artemisia absinthium, Ferula communis, Achillea millefolium, Equisetum arvense and Hypericum perforatum on the serum total anti-oxidant (TAS) level and total oxidant level (TAS) and paraoxanase 1 (PON1), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and catalase (CAT) enzyme activities has been investigated.
Material and method: The water extract of each plant was prepared, and these extracts were added to the serum samples in a certain amount and the final concentration was applied as 60 µg/mL. TAS and TOS parameters were measured by Erel, MPO activity Bradley, PON1 activity Eckerson, CAT activity Goth method to investigate the effects of these prepared extracts on serum parameters. The reagents were prepared in Harran University Medical Faculty Medical Biochemistry Department Laboratory and analyzes were performed spectrophotometrically in the routine Biochemistry Laboratory autoanalyst (Architect C16000, Abbott).
Results: Control values CAT (23,233 ± 1,665 kU/L), MPO (103,483 ± 4,048 U/L), PON1 (24,833 ± 1,404 U/L), TAS (1,223 ± 0.080 mmol Trolox Eqv/L) and TOS (6.350 ± 0,481 µmol H2O2 Eqv/L) was detected quantitatively. Artemisia absinthium, Ferula communis, Achillea millefolium and Hypericum perforatum inhibited CAT, MPO and PON1 enzymes (p <0.05, p <0.01). Equisetum arvense only showed an inhibition effect on MPO (p <0.01). Achillea millefolium and Hypericum perforatum decreased the TOS level, while increasing the TAS level (p <0.05, p <0.01).
Conclusion: Ferula communis and Equisetum arvense plant extracts showed an inhibition effect on MPO activity in vitro, while a weak inhibition effect on PON1 activity. If the in vivo efficacy of these plants can be demonstrated, it can be said that in diseases such as atherosclerosis, it can inhibit plaque formation caused by intravascular lipid peroxidation and improve vascular functions.

Serum Katalaz, Miyeloperoksidaz ve Paraoksonaz 1 Üzerine Bazı Bitki Ekstraktlarının In Vitro Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Fenolik içerik bakımından zengin olan doğal bitkilerin geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tıpta tedavi amaçlı kullanılabileceği vurgusu yapılmaktadır. Bu amaçla Artemisia absinthium (pelin otu), Ferula communis (çakşır otu), Achillea millefolium (civanperçemi), Equisetum arvense (tarla atkuyruğu) ve Hypericum perforatum (sarı kantaron) su ektraklarının paraoksanaz 1 (PON1), miyeloperoksidaz (MPO) ve katalaz (CAT) enzim aktiviteleri ile serum total anti-oksidan seviye (TAS) ve total oksidan seviye (TOS) üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır.
Materyal ve metod: Her bir bitkinin su ekstraktı hazırlanmış olup, bu ekstraktlar serum numunelerine belli oranda eklenerek nihai konsantrasyon 60 µg/mL olarak uygulanmıştır. Hazırlanan bu ekstraktların serum parametreleri üzerine etkilerini araştırmak için TAS ve TOS parametreleri Erel, MPO aktivitesi Bradley, PON1 aktivitesi Eckerson, CAT aktivitesi Goth yöntemiyle ölçülmüştür. Reaktifler, Harran Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Tıbbi Biyokimya Anabilim Dalı Laboratuvarında hazırlanmış ve analizler rutin Biyokimya Laboratuvarı otoanalizöründe (Architect C16000, Abbott) spekrofotometrik olarak çalışılmıştır.
Bulgular: Kontrol değerleri CAT (23,233± 1,665 kU/L), MPO (103,483± 4,048 U/L), PON1 (24,833± 1,404 U/L), TAS (1,223± 0,080 mmol Troloks Eqv/L) ve TOS (6,350± 0,481 µmol H2O2 Eqv/L) kantitatif olarak saptanmıştır. Pelin otu, çakşır otu, civanperçemi ve sarı kantaron CAT, MPO ve PON1 enzimlerini inhibe etmiştir (p <0.05, p <0.01). Tarla atkuyruğu ise sadece MPO üzerine inhibisyon etkisi göstermiştir (p <0.01). Civanperçemi ve sarı kantaron TOS düzeyini düşürürken TAS düzeyini artırmıştır (p <0.05, p <0.01).
Sonuç: Çakşır otu ve tarla atkuyruğu bitki ekstraktları in vitro olarak MPO üzerine inhibisyon etkisi gösterirken PON1 üzerine ise zayıf inhibisyon etkisi göstermiştir. Bu bitkilerin in vivo etkinliği ortaya konulabilirse ateroskleroz gibi hastalıklarda intravasküler lipit peroksidasyonu sonucu meydana gelen plak oluşumunu inhibe edebileceği ve vasküler fonksiyonları iyileştirebileceği söylenebilir.
