Background : Melicope locally known ‘Ki Sampang’ belongs to the Rutaceae family,
consisting of about 280 species arewidely distributed in Asia, Australia, Africa and
Polynesia. Phytochemical studies have shown that the species produce a variety of alkaloids,
flavonoids, coumarins, and acylphloroglucinols, which exhibit various biological activities
including antioxidant, anticancer, and antiinflammatory. Here we report the isolation of three
coumarins, xanthotoxine (1), bergaptene (2) and isopimpinellin (3) from the leaves of M.
denhamii and its cytotoxicity against P-388 cells with MTT methods.
Objective : Melicope denhamii is used in Indonesia traditional medicine for fever,
hypertension, cough, and as a toxic. Previous studies have isolated fungicidal, antifeedant,
antiinflamatory, anticancer and antibacterial from Melicope denhamii. This study is aimed at
the isolation coumarins and biological activity cytotoxicity against P-388 cells from leaves
extracts of Melicope denhamii.
Methods : Coumarins was isolated from M. denhamii leaves by extraction and repeat
column and planar radial chromatography and characterized by UV, IR, HRESIMS,
1Dand2DNMR. The cytotoxicity activity of coumarins used P-388 cell lines in vitro and were
assayed by MTT [3-(4,5-di-methylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] methods.
Results : Phytochemical study on the MeOH extract from the leaves of M. denhamii
yieldedthree coumarins, xanthotoxine (1), bergaptene (2) and isopimpinellin (3).
Thecytotoxic activityof compounds 1-3were evaluated for their cytotoxicity by MTT assay
againstmurine leukemia P-388. Those cytotoxic data for coumarinssuggested that compound
1and 2haveweak activity and compound 3 inactive. The presence of methoxy at C-5 and C-8
in compound 3 can bedecreased activity.
Conclusion : The phytochemical investigation of the leaves of M. denhamiito yielded
compounds, xanthotoxine (1), bergaptene (2) and isopimpinellin (3)showed low activity
against murine leukemia P-388 cells.
1. Introduction
Cancer one of the diseases caused by abnormal growth of body tissue cells that turn
into cancer cells. In its development, these cancer cells can spread to other body parts that can
cause death. In Indonesia, cancer is the second leading cause of death after diabetes.
Melicope denhamii is an evergreen medicinal shrub belonging to the family Rutaceae.
It is widely distributed in Asia, Australia, Africa and Polynesia.M. denhamii leaves are
traditionally used against skin diseases and as larvacidal agents [1-2]. Phytochemical studies
have shown that the species produce a variety of alkaloids [3-5], flavonoids [6], coumarins
[7], and acylphloroglucinols [8], which exhibit various biological activities including
antioxidant, anticancer, and antiinflammatory. In continuation of our research for
investigation of coumarinsof Indonesian Melicope plants, we report the isolation of
xanthotoxine (1), bergaptene (2) and isopimpinellin (3) from the methanol extract of the
leaves of Melicope denhamii. The chemical structure of compounds1-4were established by
UV, IR, HRESIMS, 1D and 2DNMR, as well as by comparison with those related
compounds previously reported.The cytotoxic activityagainst murine leukemia P-388 cells of
isolated compound from this species are also briefly described.
3. Experimental
3.1 Generalexperimental procedure
Column chromatography and planar radial chromatography were carriedout using
silica gel 60 and silica gel 60 PF254(Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). NMR spectra
weremeasured on a JEOLJNM-ECA400 MHz FTNMR spectrophotometer(Tokyo, Japan)
in CDCl3with TMS as the internal standard. Mass spectra were measured on an ESI-
TOFWaters LCT Premier XE producing pseudo-molecular ions, [M+H]+ positive ion
mode (Santa Clara, CA, USA).UV spectra were recorded in MeOH ona Shimadzu series
1800UV-VIS spectrophotometer (Kyoto, Japan). IR spectra were recorded in KBr ona
One Perkin Elmer instrument (Waltham, MA, USA).
