INTRODUCTION
Diabetes mellitus is the common serious
metabolic disorder due to disturbance of
carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. It
is characterized by hyperglycaemia resulting
from insulin resistance or decreased production
of insulin by the β-cells of the pancreas.
Approximately 90% of all cases of diabetes in
developed and developing countries are type-2
diabetes.1,2 Hyperglycemia is found to increase
the production of free radicals that are associated
with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure
of various organs, especially eyes, kidneys, nerves,
hearts, and blood vessels. Several other factors such
as hyperlipidaemia and enhanced oxidative stress
play a major role in diabetes. The development
of diabetes and progression of complications are
usually associated with oxidative stress which is
as a result of overexpression of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) or free radicals. Free radicals are
generated during autoxidation of glucose in
diabetes mellitus resulting in oxidative stress. ROS
is involved in the process of signal transduction
in the pancreatic β-cells and has the potential to
regulate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
However, insulin secretion can reduce when
excessive ROS synthesis is produced by elevated
glucose or fatty acid oxidation.3,4
Traditional medicine is gaining so much
interest recently due to their multiple modes of

actions with minimal adverse effects in humans.
Medicinal plant are rich source of secondary
metabolites used in various therapies, including
diabetes mellitus. Thus, considering the high
Indonesia biodiversity, it is essential to explore
potential plant species, including L. bancanus
(mempening). This species belongs to Fagaceae
family found in the Talang Mamak tribe in Kelayang
District, Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau Province. It
is usually used by the peoples as a medicine to treat
pain and inflammation. Some species of this genus
have been previously reported to contain various
secondary metabolites, including terpenoids, steroids
and flavonoids as the major components. Likewise,
bioactivities from the genus have been evaluated
including antioxidants, antidiabetic, anticancer,
antimicrobial and other activities.5-8 In regard to
explore antidiabetic agent from Talang Mamak
medicinal plants9, we reported the antioxidant and
antidiabetic activity of L. bancanus leaves extract and
fractions.

National Park (TNBT) of Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau Province and
identification of sample plants was carried out in the Department of
Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of
Riau. Samples were dried and finely ground and stored at 40C until
analysis.
Extraction
Dried L. bancanus leaves (100 g) were ground into powder
and then macerated for 48 hour followed by ultrasound for 1 hour
and the macerates were collected and concentrated with a rotary
evaporator at 500C. Methanol extract were fractionated with n-hexane,
dichloromethane and ethyl acetate respectively. Each fraction were
evaporated to get extracts.
DPPH radical scavenging activity assay
Antioxidant activity assay was carried out by using DPPH method
(1,1-diphenyl-2- picryl hydrazyl) by the standard method, with a slight
modification.10-12 Samples with a finally concentration of 1000 μg/mL
were diluted by two fold dilution method (1000 - 31.25 µg/mL) in 96
well clear polystyrene microplate. A total of 50 µL of sample was added
with 80 µL of DPPH 100 µg /mL then incubated for 30 minutes in a
dark place. Absorbance were measured by microplate reader (Berthold,
Germany) at 520 nm. The same method were conducted for ascorbic
acid and quercetin as positive control.
The % Inhibition value is calculated by the following formula:
% Inhibition = ((A0-As))/A0×100
Where A0 represents the absorbance of the DPPH radical solution
without sample while As represents the absorbance of the sample with
DPPH radical solution. A graph of inhibition percentages (I%) versus
concentrations of the sample was plotted to provide value of IC50.
Determination of total phenolic content (TPC)
Determination of the total phenolic sample was carried out by using
the Folin-Ciocalteu method.13-16 Gallic acid was used as a standard. A
total of 100 µL of sample, gallic acid and blank were each mixed with
50 µL of the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent 0.25 N in 96-well microplate.
After 5 minutes, 100 µL Na2CO3 7.5% (w v) was added. The mixture
was incubated for 30 minutes in a dark place at room temperature
before absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 765 nm by
microplate reader. The total phenolic content is expressed as milligrams
of equivalent gallic acid per gram dry matter of sample (mgGAE/g)
throught the calibration curve gallic acid. Linearity range of calibration
curve was 10 -50 µg/mL (y = 0.016x + 0.0081, r = 0.992).
Determination of total flavonoids content (TFC)
Determination of the total flavonoid content of extracts was carried
out by using the colorimetric method of aluminum chloride with
quercetin as a standard.13 A total of 50 µL samples, quercetin and blanks
were each mixed with 10 µL NaNO2 5% (w/v), 10 µL AlCl3 10% (w/v) in
96 well micoplates. After 5 minutes 100 mL of 1 M NaOH was added.
The mixture was added with 30 mL of distilled water and the mixture
was incubated in a dark place at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Absorbance of the mixture was measured at a wavelength of 510 nm
by microplate reader. The total content of flavonoids is expressed as
milligrams of equivalent quarsetin per gram dry matter of sample
(mgQE/g). Linearity range of calibration curve was 10 -50 µg/mL (y =
Pharmacognosy Journal, Vol 12, Issue 2, Mar-Apr, 2020
0.0162x + 0.0755, r = 0.999).
Ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP)
Antioxidant activity was measured with FRAP according to the
method with Trolox as standard.17 FRAP reagents was made from 0.2
M acetate buffer solution (pH 3.6), TPTZ solution (2, 4, 6-tripydyl-striazine) 10 mM in 40 mM HCl and 20 mM FeCl3.6H2O solution were
prepared and then the solution was mixed with ratio 10: 1: 1. Some
100 μL of sample was added to 96-well clear polystyrene microplates
which contained 100 μL of FRAP reagent. The mixture was incubated
for 30 minutes in a dark place at room temperature. The absorbance of
sample was measured at wavelength of 595 nm by microplate reader
and calculated as micromolar of Trolox equivalent per gram of dry
weight (mg TE/g dry weight) and using the Trolox as standard curve.
Linearity range of calibration curve was 2 - 10 µM/mL (y = 0.0641x +
0.0644, r = 0.991).
Cupric reducing antioxidant capacity assay (CUPRAC)
Antioxidant activity was measured using the CUPRAC analysis.18
Some 50 μL of CuCl2. 2H2O 10 mM, 50 μL Neocuproine (Nc) 7.5 mM
and 50 μL ammonium acetate buffer were added to 96 well- clear
polystyrene microplates which contained 100 μL of samples, standard
and blank. Then, distilled water was added up to 300 μL. The mixture
was incubated for 30 minutes in a dark place at room temperature and
the absorbance was read at 450 nm by microplate reader and calculated
as micromolar of Trolox equivalent per gram of dry weight (mg TE /
g dry weight) and using Trolox as standard curve. Linearity range of
calibration curve was 20 - 100 µM/mL (y = 0.0073x + 0.1274 r = 0.999).
2,2’-azonobis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid
assay (ABTS)
Antioxidant activity was carried out with the ABTS method.19
ABTS reagents was prepared by dissolving 0.077 g ABTS powder in 10
ml of distilled water. 10 ml of ABTS solution was reacted with 10 ml
of K2S2O8 (5 mM) and was saved in a dark place at room temperature
for 16 hours to produce ABTS radical cation. The solution was diluted
with distilled water to obtain an absorbance of 1.00 at a wavelength of
734 nm. Some 100 μL of ABTS• + solution was added to 96 well clear
polystyrene microplates which contained 200 μL of sample, standard,
and blank. The mixture was incubated for 30 minutes in a dark place
at room temperature. The absorbance of the sample was measured at a
wavelength 734 nm by microplate reader (Berthold, Germany). and the
results were calculated as micromolar of Trolox equivalent per gram of

Linearity range of calibration curve was 2 - 10 µM/mL (y = 0.0738x +
0.0473, r = 0.999).
Antidiabetic activity assay
The antidiabetic test used a method of inhibiting the activity of
α-glucosidase enzyme with p-NPG as a substrate by the standard
method, with a slight modification.20-22 The sample was diluted by the
two fold dilution method of concentration 1000 - 31.25 µg / mL. A total
of 10 µL of DMSO (B0) and 10 µL of sample (S0) were added with 50 µL
of pH 7 phosphate buffer, 25 µL of p-NPG 20 mM and 10 µL of DMSO

Statistical analysis
All assays were carried out in triplicate and their results were
expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Data analysed by one - way
ANOVA by using IBM SPSS statistics 20 (Version 20.0, IBM. Corp.,
U.S.A). The significance of difference was calculated by using Duncan’s
multiple range test, while Pearson correlation test was conducted to
determine the correlation among variable. A P < 0.05 were considered
statistically significant levels. All measurements were carried triplicate.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
DPPH radical scavenging activity
DPPH radical scavenging activity from L. bancanus leaves exibited
various activity (Table 1). Methanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction
showed high antioxidant activity with IC50 value of 39.469 ± 0.273
μg/mL and 52.546 ± 0.557 respectively with no significantly different
(P<0.05) with quercetin. The n-hexane fraction showed no activity
with IC50 values greater than 1000 μg/mL while the dichloromethane
fraction exhibited moderate antioxidant activity with IC50 values of
334.464 ± 0.361 μg/mL. In this result showed that the solvent with high
polarity exhibited high activity, and this might be due to the presence of
flavonoids and phenolics.
Total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC)
The determination of TPC is based on the reduction of the
phosphomolybdate-tungstate complex with its active center is Mo
(VI) by phenolic compounds forming a blue product.18 Totcal phenolic
content of extract and fraction of L. bancanus leave were differed
significantly (P<0.05) (Table 2). Methanol extract and ethyl acetate
fraction showed high TPC compared to n-hexane and dichloromethane
fractions with value of 11.426 ± 0.106 and 6.525 ± 0.188 mg GAE/g dry
weight sample, respectively. In order to determined TFC, the samples
were reacted with AlCl3 to form a complex in the ortho hydroxy ketone
group which gives a batochromic effect from flavonoid.23 The results
showed that methanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction exhibited high
TFC with value of 15.422 ± 0.306 and 9.144 ± 0.138 mg QE/dry weight
sample, respectively (p<0.05)
Flavonoids are diphenyl propanoids consisting of two of rings
connected by chains with three of carbon atoms. The plants extracts
contained phenolic and flavonoid compounds which showed effective
antioxidant properties and could lower cellular oxidative stress.24 In
this study, we reported correlation between the phenolic and flavonoid
content with DPPH radical scavanging with coeficient correlation (r) =
0.996 and 0.994, respectively (Table 3) and it is in an agreement with
Jacobo-Velazquez and coworkers.25
Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)
The FRAP method was used to measure the ability of antioxidants by
reducing ferric in acidic conditions. Complex ferric-tripyridyltriazine
(Fe +3-TPTZ) is reduced to form Fe+2 (Fe+2-TPTZ) with maximum
absorbance at 595 nm.26 The results showed significanly different among
the tested sampel (P<0.05), however, the methanol extract and quercetin
exhibited no sifnificantly different (Table 3).
Cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC)
In this assay, Cu (II) was reduced to Cu (I) by antioxidants.
Neocuproin (Nc) chromophore reagent reacts with CuCl2 to form
complex Cu (I) –Nc at pH 7 at a wavelength of 450 nm, from bright
blue to yellow-orange.27 The results showed that extract and fractions
differed significantly (P<0.05) (Table 3). The methanol extract and ethyl
acetate fraction possessed activity with valueo of 26665.501 ± 5.940 and
15146.556 ± 3.107 μM TE/dry weight, respectively, and these results
exibited high activity compared to n-hexane and dichloromethane
fractions.
2,2’-azonobis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid
(ABTS)
The ABTS (2,2’-azonobis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)
assay is based on the ability of antioxidants to capture the cation radical
of ABTS. In this assay, the radical cation of ABTS is produced from
ABTS oxidation by potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) which produces a
greenish blue color. Color loss will occur when antioxidant compounds
donate H atoms to the ABTS cation radical.27 The antioxidant activity
of a sample in reducing ABTS cation radical compared to Trolox, and

they showed significantly different (P<0.05) (Table 3). The value of
ABTS from methanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction were 2857.977
± 0.715 and 1402.082 ± 0.371 μM TE/dry weight sample, respectively,
and they exibited highest ABTS values compared to n-hexane and
dichloromethane.
Correlation analyses between phenolic and flavonoid
contents with antioxidant and Inhibitor α-glucosidase
activities
Correlation analyses (Table 4) between phenolic and flavonoid
content with antioxidant (DPPH, FRAP, CUPRAC, ABTS) and
antidibetic (inhibitor α-glucosidase) activities were performed. Extract
and fraction of L. bancanus leaves exhibited significant (P<0.01)
linear corelations between TPC and TFC, TPC and IC50 DPPH, TPC
and FRAP, TPC and CUPRAC, TPC and ABTS, and TPC and IC50
α-glucosidase inhibitor. By comparing the correlation coeficient (r)
between TPC and CUPRAC exibited highest r value (r = 1), followed by
TPC and TFC (r = 0.999), TPC and ABTS (r = 0.997), TPC and FRAP
(r = 0.996), TPC and IC50 α-glucosidase inhibitor (r = 0.944) and TPC
and IC50 DPPH (r = 0.944). There were linear correlation (P < 0.01)
between TFC and CUPRAC, TFC and ABTS, TFC and FRAP, TFC and
IC50 α-glucosidase and TFC and IC50 DPPH with r = 0.999, 0.994, 0.993,
0.955 and 0.739, respectively.
Through these correlation analysis, the phenolic and flavonoid
contents diplayed association with antioxidant activities (DPPH
radical, FRAP, CUPRAC and ABTS) and antidiabetic activities. The
results are consistent with those found by Sahreen who reported that
there was existence of a strong relationship between phenolic and
flavonoid contents and DPPH and FRAP, CUPRAC and ABTS radical
scavenging.28
Antidiabetic activity assay
The α-glucosidase enzyme is the enzyme which responsible for
breaking down disaccharides and complex carbohydrates into glucose.
Inhibition of this enzyme can delay the absorption of glucose in the
digestive tract, and to prevent an increasing in blood glucose concentration
after eating.29 α-glucosidase inhibition activity is one of method to
determined antidiabetic acivity. The mechanism of this assay was
observed by interfering with the carbohydrate hydrolysis process, inhibits
the absorption of glucose and other monosaccharides. Inhibition of this
enzyme can effectively to reduce the digestion of complex carbohydrates
and their absorption, so as to reduce the increase in postprandilla glucose
levels in diabetics.30 The antidiabetic activity results showed significantly
different (P<0.05), where methanol extract showed high activity followed
by ethyl acetate fraction with IC50 30.565 ± 0.331 μg/mL, 44.901 ± 0.128
μg/mL, respectively. (Table 5). There are significant corrrelation between
total phenolics and flavanoids and the activity (P<0.01) with coeficient
correlation (r) = 0.944 and 0.955 (Table 4).
