Phenolics extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit inhibits xanthine oxidaseand Fe2+-induced lipid peroxidation in the kidney, liver, and lungs tissuesof rats in vitro
The phenolics composition and inhibitory activity of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit extract on xanthine oxidase (XO) and Fe2+-induced lipidperoxidation in the kidney, liver and lungs tissues of rats were evaluated in vitro. Phenolics (flavonoids and phenolic acids) were quantifiedusing reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatrography coupled with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). The XO and Fe2+-induced lipidperoxidation inhibitory abilities of the extract were evaluated using spectrophotometric methods. The extract contained some flavonoids andphenolic acids, including catechin, epicatechin, rutin, quercetin, luteolin, apigenin; gallic, chlorogenic, caffeic and ellagic acids that are beneficialto health. The extract inhibited XO in the kidney, liver and lungs tissues in a dose-dependent manner. The half-maximal inhibitory concentrations(IC50) of the extract on XO from the tissues varied significantly (P < 0.05), and were in the order of liver > kidney > lungs. The extract also inhibitedFe2+-induced lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent pattern, having IC50in the order of liver > lungs > kidney. T. tetraptera fruit extract could bea promising nutraceutical for preventing and managing hyperuricaemia and the associated disease conditions, due to its ability to inhibit XO; thisbioactivity is attributable to combined effect of its flavonoids and phenolic acids.
