Cytotoxic activity of Peronema canescens Jack
sungkai leaves in human cells: HT-29 and primary
colon cancer adenocarcinoma methanol extract.
Cytotoxicity value (IC50) to AdenoCa cells 1.897
μg/ml. The inhibitory activity of the synthesis and
mitotic phases in the cell cycle showed that
different concentrations of SF3 had inhibitory
activity on HT-29 (29,614 µg/ml) of 26.79% and
0.16%, AdenoCa cells (14,807 µg/ml) of 10.27%
and 19.29% respectively. The apoptotic activity
induced in HT-29 cells (29,614 µg/ml) and
AdenoCa cells (14,807 µg/ml) were 26.58% and
11.50% [15].
L n-hexane solvent for 2 x 24 hours with two
repetitions. The simplicia was macerated again
using ethyl acetate solvent in the same way. Both
maserates were evaporated at 60 °C. The yield
obtained was calculated as a weight percentage
(w/w). Sungkai leaf phytochemical screening,
including tests for alkaloids, saponins, phenolics,
tannins, steroids, and flavonoids [10].
Separation
and
Purification.
Thin
Layer
Chromatography (TLC) was prepared 1 x 5 cm
with a lower and upper limit of 1 cm and 0.5 cm,
respectively, so the eluent travelled 3.5 cm.
Eluents are prepared by comparing organic
solvents based on their polarity. The extract was
spotted using a capillary tube at the bottom of
the plate, and elution was carried out using the
mobile phase. After the mobile phase reaches
the upper limit on the plate, the elution process
is stopped. Then the stain was examined directly
under a UV lamp with a wavelength of 254 or 395
nm. All fractions were subjected to the TLC test,
and the fractions with the same stain spots were
put together and analyzed by TLC.
Material and Methods
Materials and Instrumentations
The sample used in this study was sungkai leaves
(Peronema
canescens Jack). Samples were
obtained from Kademangan Village, Jaluko
District, Muaro Jambi Regency, Jambi Province,
Indonesia. The chemicals were used ethyl
acetate, n-hexane, 2N sulfuric acid, Dragendorff
reagent, Meyer reagent, Lieberman-Burchard
reagent, concentrated HCl, Mg powder, 2N HCl,
FeCl3, acetic acid. Anhydrous (Sigma Aldrich), fine
silica gel (packing) 0.040 - 0.063 mm and coarse
silica gel (imprent) 0.063 -0.200 mm (Merck),
Artemia salina larvae eggs, NaCl.
Furthermore, Isolation of compounds was
carried out using vacuum liquid chromatography
(VLC). VLC was performed using silica gel as the
stationary phase with a sample:silka gel ratio
(1:20). The sample extract was impregnated
using silica gel and added to the column
containing the stationary phase. At the same
time, the mobile phase used is a mobile phase
with gradient polarity. 10-15 grams of sample
was impregnated with 15 grams of coarse silica
gel (0.063 – 0,200 mm silica imprent). VLC was
carried out using a column with a diameter of 5
cm with the stationary phase in the form of fine
silica gel (silica packing 0.040-0.063mm) and the
mobile phase in the form of a solvent with
gradient polarity. Gradient elution increases the
resolution of complex mixtures, especially when
the sample has a broad polarity range. VLC starts
from 100% n-hexane, n-hexane: ethyl acetate,
ethyl acetate: methanol, to 100% methanol. The
resulting fraction is then accommodated in a vial.
