INTRODUCTION:

Plant produces a valuable source of medicines. There are remarkable progresses in synthetic medicinal chemistry, still over 25% of the advised drugs are derived directly or indirectly from plants1. Medicinal plants have been used in folk medicine in Asian and African populations for thousands of years, and many plants are consumed in developed nations for their health benefits2,3. It is estimated that 70-95% of the population in developing countries are using traditional medicine4. Because of unmatched availability of chemical diversity, natural products, such as plant extract, either as pure compounds or as standardized extracts, provide unlimited opportunities for new drug discoveries5. Strong antioxidant such as plant polyphenols protect cell constituents against oxidative damage, thus averting the deleterious on nucleic acid, proteins and lipids in cells6.

 

Flavonoids, the largest and most widely studied polyphenols, are gaining interest as antioxidants due to their high ability to destroy free radicals. Flavonoids prevent hydroxy radical-induced damage by donating electrons to neutralize 10 species7,8,9,10,11.

 

Sonneratia apetala is a mangrove tree belonging to the family of Lythraceae, it is found in the coastal areas in India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Australia, etc. It is a rapid growing mangrove used in the reforestation of salinity affected areas. According to Bandaranayake12. It is commonly called kandal. This tree reaches a height of 20 meters. The leaves are simple, opposite and leathery, while the flowers are green and fleshy. The leaves are reported to have antibiotic and antifungal activity13.

 

The present study was carried out to identify phytochemicals present in the methanolic extract of Sonneratia apetala with the aid of HPLC, FTIR, UV-Visible and Swiss ADME techniques which may provide an insight in its use in traditional medicine.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Plant Preparation:

Sonneratia apetala was collected from mangroves habitat in Raigad district. Then wash leaves with tap water. The clean leaves then dried under shade, after that the dried leaves placed inside the oven for couples of hours. The dried leaves grinded by using electric blender.

 

Plant Extraction:

Take 5.0gm sample of Sonneratia apetala leaves and dissolved it in 50ml of methanol and kept it for 24hours. Filter this solution after 24hours. Add 50ml of methanol to the residue again and boil it in a boiling water bath till half the solution remains. Then combine this filtrate and initial filtrate and kept it in water bath for complete evaporation of methanol, the extract is finally obtained.

 

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC):

The HPLC for the methanolic extract of Sonneratia apetala leaves was performed by Shimadzu-LC20AR. They carried out by using the following conditions According to previously reported method14-16 (Table 1).

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR):

FTIR is largely used technique to identifying the types (functional groups) of chemical bonds in compounds. The particular chemical bond absorbed light of particular wavelength. By observing the infrared absorption spectrum, we can determine the chemical bonds in a molecule17,18. A small amount of extract of Sonneratia apetala loaded in FTIR spectroscopy (Shimadzu, IR Affinity-1S WL, Japan) with scan range from 500 to 4000 cm-1.

 

UV-visible spectroscopy: 1.0g sample of Sonneratia apetala was diluted in 100ml of methanol. The aliquote was transferred to a quartz cell (1cm pathway) and analyzed by Shimadzu Corporation, Japan (UV-1800 240V). The extract was scanned from 200nm to 800nm to create a characteristic absorption spectrum of the sample19,20,21,22.

 

Physicochemical Properties, Lipophilicity, Water Solubility, Pharmacokinetics, Druglikeness and Medicinal Chemistry Friendliness Prediction of Phytochemicals:

The approximate study of pharmacokinetics, especially ADME, physicochemical properties, lipophilicity, water solubility, drug-likeness and medicinal chemistry of mangroves plant like Sonneratia apetala were carried out by using Swiss ADME online tool23,24. The canonical SMILES string for each chemical was incorporated in this tool for the computational simulation. This tool predicts bioavailability radar as per six physicochemical properties such as lipophilicity, size, polarity, solubility, flexibility and saturation to detect drug-likeness. The ADME properties e.g. passive human gastrointestinal absorption (HIA) and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeation as well as substrate or non-substrate of the permeability glycoprotein (P-gp) as detected positive or negative in the BOILED-Egg model25. Estimation of lipophilicity (Log p/w) parameters such as iLOGP was calculated by n-octanol and water on free energies of solvation as per the generalized-born and solvent accessible surface area (GB/SA) model26, XLOGP3 is an atomistic method including corrective factors and knowledge-based library27, WLOGP has implemented for a purely atomistic method is relying on the fragment system28, M-LOGP is an archetype of topological method based on a linear relationship with 13 molecular descriptors implemented as per researchers29,30 and SILICOS-IT is an hybrid method, based on 27 fragments and 7 topological descriptors.

 

The Lipinski (Pfizer) filter is included in the Pioneer Rule-of-Five has Incorporated in this tool from and this tool has also been included for prediction of drug-likeness31. Bioavailability radar for oral bioavailability prediction as per distinct physico-chemical parameters has been developed by SwissADME tool23,24.

 

Predicting medicinal chemistry techniques has based on the root of structural alert32, the pan assay interference compounds or PAINS structural alert33 or the Lilly MedChem34 filters applied to cleansing chemical libraries of compounds most likely unstable, reactive, toxic, or prone to interfere with biological assays because non-specific frequent hitters, dyes or aggregators35. The synthetic accessibility (SA) score has based primarily on the assumption that the frequency of molecular fragments in ‘really’ obtainable molecules correlates with the ease of synthesis. The developed and standardized method is characterized by molecular synthetic accessibility scores, which are found between 1 and 10 (easy to make and very difficult to make)36.

In table 7, two topological approaches included in SwissADME to predict water solubility. First one is the application of the ESOL model. The water solubility data obtained for soluble compound, e.g., Gibberellin and Physcoion and moderately soluble compound e.g., 5β-cholestane-3α,7α-diol and poorly soluble compound e.g., Betulinic acid, Lupeone, Lupeol, Stigmast-5-ene-3beta and insoluble compound e.g., β-amyrin hexadecaneate. Second one is Ali. The water solubility data obtained for very soluble compound e.g., Gibberellin and moderately soluble compound e.g., Physcoion and poorly soluble compound e.g., Betulinic acid, Lupeone, 5β-cholestane-3α,7α-diol and insoluble compound e.g., Lupeol, β-amyrin hexadecaneate. The third predictor of SwissADME was developed by SILICOS-IT. The water solubility data obtained for soluble compound e.g., Gibberellin and moderately soluble compound e.g., Betulinic acid, 5β-cholestane-3α,7α-diol, Physcoion and poorly soluble compound e.g., Lupeone, Lupeol, Stigmast-5-ene-3beta and insoluble compound e.g., β-amyrin hexadecaneate.

The inbuilt BOILED-Egg model represented that Gibberellin showed that capability of GI absorption. The phytochemical Gibberellin was found P-gp positive as substrate in the present predictive model (Figure 4). There is a possibility that Gibberellin may not hammer glycoprotein activity.

 


Figure 4: The BOILED-Egg represents for intuitive evaluation of passive gastrointestinal absorption (HIA) white part and brain penetration (BBB) yellow part as well as blue and red points PGP positive and negative in function of the position of the small molecules in the WLOGP-versus-TPSA graph

 


CONCLUSION:

Sonneratia apetala is an edible mangrove plant which contain many medicinal properties. Sonneratia apetala leaves has diverse biological effects, including Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, Antimicrobial, Anticancer, Anti-diabetic. The success of isolation and purification of Gibberellin from Sonneratia apetala leaves, which considered as less toxic.
