Phytochemicals and bioactivities of cinnamomum porrectum (Roxb.) kosterm and cinnamomum mollissimum hook F

Cinnamomum porrectum (Roxb.) Kosterm and Cinnamomum mollissimum Hook f. which belong to the Lauraceae family are widely distributed in Peninsular Malaysia. They are locally known as “medang kemangi” and “medang lawang”, respectively. The leaves and barks of C. porrectum and the leaves of C. mollissi...

Purification of the alkaloid extract from the barks of C. mollissimum produced five aporphines, namely isocorydine, N-methylhernagine, N-methylhernovine, hernagine and hernovine. Several bioactivities such as antibacterial, antioxidant and antityrosinase have been investigated for the crude extracts and selected compounds. The antibacterial assays were performed using disc diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The results showed that the alkaloid extract, methyl eugenol and benzyl benzoate exhibited strong antibacterial activity towards selective bacterial strains with the concentration ranged less than 500 µg/mL.

The crude extracts which were screened for antityrosinase activity using mushroom tyrosinase were found to be inactive with IC50 > 1000 µg/mL. As a conclusion, the alkaloid extract showed good activity towards all the tested bioassays except for the tyrosinase inhibition assay. The activity portrayed was due to the synergistic effect between the compounds presence in the extract. 2014-06 Thesis NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48867/25/FatinFasihahMasnonMFS2014.pdf Masnon, Fatin Fasihah (2014) Phytochemicals and bioactivities of cinnamomum porrectum (Roxb.) kosterm and cinnamomum mollissimum hook F.
