dc.description.abstract |
Marine seaweeds are rich sources of biologically active secondary metabolites and have
potential as lead compounds in drug discovery. However, antioxidant activities of the Sri
Lankan seaweeds have not been studied extensively. Therefore, in this study, the main
objective was to evaluate the antioxidant activities of the marine brown alga, Padina
commersonii (Pc) by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, ABTS+ on-line High
Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and in vitro assay. The crude methanolic
extract was partitioned into hexane, CHCl3, EtOAc and H2O and used for bioassays. Free
radical scavenging activity was determined by ESR spectroscopy and ABTS+ On-line
(HPLC) technique. In vitro antioxidant activity was determined on VERO cells by 2,7–
dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFDA) assay and cell viability (MTT) assay. Ethyl acetate
fraction (PCE) showed the highest total phenolic content (7.44 mg GAE g-1) compared to
the other fractions. The strongest radical scavenging activities were observed by PCE and
water (PCW) fractions against alkyl radicals; IC50 values were 0.017 ± 0.001 and 0.02 ±
0.003 mg mL-1, respectively. The highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was identified
from the PCE fraction (IC50 value of 0.71± 0.03 mg mL-1). Four different fractions were
obtained from the reverse phase (RP) - ODS open column of PCE. Among them, PCEF2
fraction showed the best scavenging activity for DPPH (0.014 ± 0.001 mg mL-1), alkyl (0.01
± 0.001 mg mL-1) and hydroxyl (0.100 ± 0.003 mg mL-1) radicals. In addition, ABTS+ Online
HPLC profile showed eight very strong negative signals in the ABTS+ chromatogram
due to trace antioxidant compounds available in PCEF2. Subsequently, three compounds
were isolated from the PCEF2 fraction by High Performance Centrifugal Partition
Chromatography (HPCPC). Among the isolated compounds, PCEF2-1 showed the
strongest intracellular ROS scavenging activity on Vero cells under H2O2 oxidative stress.
The results indicate that P. commersonii contains natural products with promising
antioxidant effects. |
