Bio-assay guided fractionation of hypotensive compounds from syzygium polyanthum wight (WALP.)Var. Polyanthum leaves

Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp. has been known as antihypertensive medicinal plant and the leaves are regularly consumed by the locals as fresh salad. Previous studies have reported on its antihypertensive effect but the responsible bioactive compounds were still unknown. The present study aimed t...

One-way and two-way ANOVA were used for data analyses. The phytochemical constituents in the fractions were analyzed using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). In addition, analysis of TPC and FRAP assay were conducted on the fractions, any potential correlation with antihypertensive activity was tested using Pearson’s Correlation test. This study showed that ESP, MSP and ASP were found to exert significant antihypertensive effect, with ASP as the most prominent crude extract. Fractionation of ASP resulted into 9 fractions, which were then combined into 3 final fractions (F1ASP, F2ASP and F3ASP) according their TLC profiles. F2ASP was found to be the most active fraction, and its antihypertensive effect was actually more potent compared to other fractions as well as the crude ASP extract. Magnitude of F2ASP effect was actually comparable with captopril (5mg/kg, i.v). Chemical profiling using LC-MS revealed the presence of several bioactive compounds with potential in causing antihypertensive effect such as 1-galloyl-glucose, polydatin, sesamol, brazilin, eugenol, ellagic acid, kukoamine A and cyclocurcumin.
