Garcinia picrrorhiza Miq. dan Garcinia dulcis Kurz termasuk famili Cluciaceae banyak tumbuh di daerah Asia tenggara termasuk Indonesia. Dari beberapa hasil penelitian diketahui, bahwa famili Guttiferae merupakan sumber senyawa xanton, isoprenilbenzophenon, flavonoid, depsidon dan anthron, beberapa di antaranya mempunyai aktivitas biologi seperti antibakteri, antifungi, antioksidan, anti-HIV, dan sitotoksik. Berdasarkan hal tersebut di atas, telah dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mempelajari lebih lanjut tentang keanekaragaman struktur metabolit sekunder yang dihasilkan oleh beberapa species dari familia Guttiferae dan mengungkapkan aktivitas biologi senyawa tersebut.
Pada penelitian ini telah diselidiki senyawa bioaktif kulit batang G. picrrorhiza Miq.dan buah G. dulcis Kun. Bahan tanaman diperoleh dari sekitar Bogor. Selanjutnya masing-masing bahan diekstraksi dengan pelarut n- heksana dan diklorometan. Ekstrak yang diperoleh difraksinasi dengan tehnik kromatografi dan pemurnian. Senyawa yang murni kemudian ditentukan strukturnya dengan metoda spektroskopi UV, IR, 'H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HMQC, HMBC dan COSY. Aktivitas biologi senyawa-senyawa yang diperoleh ditetapkan dengan uji antioksidan terhadap radikal DPPH dan uji sitotositas terhadap sel kanker L1210.
Dari isolasi G.dulcis Kurz telah ditemukan 3 senyawa caged poliprenilasi xanton, yaitu senyawa (1) desoksimorellin, senyawa (2) asam morellat dan senyawa (3) morellin; hasil uji sitotoksisitas terhadap sel kanker L1210 berturut- turut menunjukkan IC50 = 25,56 μg/mL, 20,82 μg/mL dan 26,67 μg/mL dan uji antioksidan terhadap radikal bebas berturut-turut IC50 = 22,42 μg/mL; 30,91 μg/ 1249,93 μg/mL. Dari hasil isolasi ekstrak n-heksana kulit batang G. picrrorhiza Miq., ditemukan senyawa baru garcinopicrobenzofenon, senyawa (4) uji toksisitas terhadap sel kanker L1210 menunjukkan IC50 = 53,05 μg/mL dan uji antioksidan terhadap radikal bebas DPPH menunjukkan IC50 = 27,67 μg/mL. Ditemukan senyawa (5) asam lanosta 3-oxo-7, 24-dien-27-oat, ditemukan senyawa (6) asam Ianosta 3β-hidroksi-7,24-dien-oat, dan senyawa (9) asam 3- hidroksi-isonikotinat. Dari isolasi eksrak n-heksana akar G. picrrorhiza ditemukan senyawa baru (8) garcinopicrobenzofenonon, uji toksisitas terhadap sel kanker murine L1210 menunjukkan IC50 sebesar 40,37 μg/mL, ujiaktivitas antioksidan rnenunjukkan IC50 sebesar 83,88 μg/mL dan senyawa (7) (23E)- eupha-7-oxo-8,23-dien-27-oat.
Garcinia dulcis Kurz and Garcinia picrrorhiza Miq. (Cluciaccac) is group of plants grown in Indonesian tropical forest which has been reported to be rich in chemicals substances. Extensive phytochemical screening have shown that Garcinia species are rich in a variety of oxygenated and prenylated xanthone. Some of these exhibit a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities as cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, antimalarial, and HIV-1 protease inhibitory activitis. Based on these data, this research work aims to further study the structur molecule variety of their secondary metabolite especially their bioactive constituens. In this research work, the bioactive constituens of G. dulcis Kurz and G. picrrorhiza Miq. was collected from sorounding Bogor, have been evaluated. The selected plant materials were the bark and roots of G. picrrorhiza Miq and fruits of G. dulcis Kurz. Extraction, fractionation and bioactive compound isolation- purification were conducted using various organic solvents and chromatographic techniques. The isolated compounds were ilucidated based on their physical and spectral data, such UV, IR, 'H- and 13C-NMR, MS, HMBC, HMQC and COSY. The biological activity evaluations, namely, in vitro cytotoxicity using murine L1210 cell line, and antioxidant activity under DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) Radical Scavenging Activity Methode. Chromatographic separation of the n-hexane extract of dried G. dulcis fruits furnished three prenylated pyranoxanthonoids, identified as desoxymorelline (1), morellic acid (2), and morellin (3). The isolated compounds found exhibit cytotoxicity against L1210 cancer cell line. The lC50 values were 26,6; 20,8, and 25,5 μg/mL, respectively. Under DPPH Radical Scavenging Activity Methode the compounds to exhibit antioxidant activity. The lC50 value for desoxymorelline, morellic acid and morellin ici, 22,42 μg/mL. ;30,91 μg/mL and 1249,93 μg/mL. Chromatographic separation on the n-hexane extract from bark of G. picrrorhiza Miq. furnish new compounds garcinopicrobenzophenon (4) to exhibit cytotoxicity against L1210 cell line, with the IC50 value 53,05 μg/mL and antioxidant activity with IC50 value 27,67 μg/mL and known lanosta-3-oxo-7,24-dien-27oic acid (5); lanosta 3β-hydroxy-7,24-dien-oic-acid (6), and 3-hydroxy-isonicotinic acid (9). Chromatographic separation of the dichloromethane extract from roots of G. picrorrhiza furnish new compound garcinopicrobenzophenonon (8) to exhibit cytotoxicity against L1210 eell line. The IC50 value was 40,37 μg/mL, and antioxidant activity 83,88 μg/mL; and (23E}-eupha-7oxo-8,23-dien-27oic (7)
