Abstract

Objectives: To document traditional antimalarial plants used by Tetun ethnic people in West Timor Indonesia and evaluate the antiplasmodial activity and phytochemicals of several plants that are widely used as oral medicine. Materials and Methods: A field study to document antimalarial plants followed by laboratory works to test antiplasmodial activity and identify the phytochemical constituents of some selected plants extract were applied. The inhibitory potency of ethanolic extracts of Strychnos ligustrina wood, roots of Calotropis gigantea, Fatuoa pilosa, and Neoalsomitra podagrica, whole plant of Cleome rutidosperma and Physalis angulata, stem barks of Alstonia spectabilis, Alstonia scholaris, Jatropha curcas and Plumeria alba, and leaves of Melia azedarach on the Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain in vitro were tested. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument was used to analyze the phytochemicals of the extracts. Results: The Tetun ethnic people use 50 plant species as antimalarials. P. angulata, J. curcas, and A. spectabilis extracts show strong antiplasmodial activity with IC50 values of 0.22, 0.22, and 1.23 μg/mL, respectively; N. podagrica, A. scholaris, F. pilosa, and P. alba were moderate antiplasmodials with IC50 values of 11.60, 15.46, 24.92, and 36.39 μg/mL, respectively; and C. rutidosperma, M. azedarach, S. ligustrina, and C. gigantea were weak antiplasmodials with IC50 values of 54.25, 63.52, 63.91, and 66.49 μg/mL, respectively. The phytochemicals identification data indicate that these 11 plants contain alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, coumarins, alcohols, thiols, phenolics, aldehydes, fatty acids, esters, and so forth. Conclusion: Plants widely used as antimalarials by the Tetun ethnic people is proven to have antiplasmodial activity. Key words: Ethnomedicine, medicinal plant, malaria, antiplasmodial activity

Özet

Amaç: Endonezya Batı Timor’unda Tetun etnik halkı tarafından kullanılan geleneksel antimalaryal bitkileri, yaygın oral ilaçlar olarak kullanılan bazı bitkilerin antiplazmodial aktivitelerini ve fitokimyasallarını belirlemek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Antimalaryal bitkileri belirleyen alan çalışmasını takiben, antiplazmodiyal aktiviteyi test etmek ve seçilen bitki ekstraktlarından fitokimyasal bileşenleri belirlemek için laboratuvar çalışması yapılmıştır. Strychnos ligustrina bitkisinin odunsu kısımları, Calotropis gigantea, Fatuoa pilosa ve Neoalsomitra podagrica bitkilerinin kökleri, Cleome rutidosperma ve Physalis angulata bitkilerinin tamamı, Alstonia spectabilis, Alstonia scholaris, Jatropha curcas ve Plumeria alba bitkilerinin gövde kabukları ile Melia azedarach yaprakları etanol ekstrelerinin inhibitör potansiyelleri Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 suşunda in vitro koşullarda belirlendi. Ekstrelerin fitokimyasal içerikleri gaz kromatografisi-kütle spektrometresi ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Tetun etnik halkının antimalaryal olarak kullandığı 50 bitki türü olduğu belirlendi. P. angulata, J. curcas ve A. spectabilis ekstreleri, sırasıyla 0,22, 0,22 ve 1,23 μg/mL IC50 değerleriyle güçlü antiplazmodiyal aktivite gösterirken, N. podagrica, A. scholaris, F. pilosa ve P. alba, sırasıyla 1,60, 15,46, 24,92 ve 36,39 μg/mL IC50 değerleriyle, ve C. rutidosperma, M. azedarach, S. ligustrina ve C. gigantea, sırasıyla 54,25, 63,52, 6391 ve 66,49 μg/mL IC50 değerleriyle zayıf antiplazmodiyal aktivite gösterdi. Fitokimyasal tanımlamanın verileri, bu 11 bitkinin alkaloitler, terpenoidler, steroidler, kumarinler, alkoller, tiyoller, fenolikler, aldehitler, yağ asitleri, esterler ve diğer bileşikleri içerdiğini gösterdi. Sonuç: Tetun etnik halkı tarafından yaygın olarak antimalaryal olarak kullanılan bitkilerin antiplazmodiyal aktivite gösterdiği kanıtlanmıştır. Anahtar kelimeler: Etnotıp, şifalı bitki, sıtma, antiplazmodiyal aktivite
