Antioxidative Activities and Whitening Effects of Solvent Fraction from Prunus davidiana (Carriere) Franch. Fruit

Abstract

In this study, methanol extract and its organic solvent fractions were prepared from Prunus davidiana (Carriere) Franch. fruit. Antioxidative activities, polyphenolic and flavonoid contents, and tyrosinase inhibitory activities were evaluated. Among the fractions, ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest antioxidative activity with IC50 values of 5.8 μg/mL and 88.1 μg/mL for DPPH radical and nitrite scavenging, respectively, which were comparable to those of ascorbic acid. Further, total flavonoid and polyphenolic contents were highest in the ethyl acetate fraction with IC50 values of 244.5 mg/g and 210.2 mg/g, respectively. IC50 values for tyrosinase inhibitory activity were 0.310 mg/mL and 0.329 mg/mL for the ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions, respectively. Based on these results, it is suggested that the ethyl acetate fraction of Prunus davidiana (Carriere) Franch. fruit could be used as a functional material in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Phenolic Compounds from the Fruits of Prunus davidiana (Rosaceae) and Their Antioxidant Activities

“…P. davidiana stem has been reported to have anti‐hyperlipidemia, [2] anti‐inflammatory, and antioxidant, [3] pharmacological activities. Fruit extracts of P. davidiana have antioxidant and whitening activity, [4] and improve lipid composition, cardiovascular heart disease, and hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats [5] . Previous studies reported flavonoids and sterols as phytochemical constituents of P. davidiana stems, [2,5,6] and flavonoids as constituents of P. davidiana leaves [7] .…”

Optimization of Hyaluronidase Inhibition Activity from Prunus davidiana (Carriere) Franch Fruit Extract Fermented by its Isolated Bacillus subtilis Strain SPF4211

“…P. davidiana (Carriere) Franch fruits (PrDF) have been used as folkloristic medicine to treat hemasthenosis, constipation, chronic rhinitis, cough, asthma, dysmenorrhea, arthritis, and diarrhea [1,27,28]. Various studies have shown that PrDF improves blood glucose and lipid compositions in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats [16], reduces blood pressure level in spontaneously hypertensive rats [17], and possesses antioxidant and whitening activities [18]. Moreover, the tree extracts of this plant have been shown to have antioxidant, lipid peroxide inhibitory, antiinflammatory [5], and anti-hyperlipidemia [7] activities.…”
