Metabolite Profile of Moringa Leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam.) from Several Regions in South Sumatra, Indonesia
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) is a medicinal plant which is recognized as having many health benefits and has been widely used as a herbal medicine to treat certain diseases. To make an ingredient into herbal medicine, standardization of testing is required, because the chemical composition of a plant is not always the same. The growth of Moringa in South Sumatra is spread with varying altitudes, ranging from low, medium and high altitudes. Not much is known about the profile of metabolites of Moringa leaves based on the altitude where they grow. The altitude factor is one of the abiotic factors that can affect plant composition. The purpose of this study is to determine the metabolite profile and pharmacological activity of Moringa leaf metabolites based on different growing heights using a non-target metabolomics analysis approach using the GC-MS instrument. Sampling locations were determined using a stratified purposive sampling method based on the height where they grow. It is known that Moringa leaves from Bangun Rejo Village (795 masl) and Masam Bulau Village (570 masl) showed 29 types of metabolites, while Tebing Gerinting Village, Ogan Ilir (35 masl) showed 27 types of metabolites. Each Moringa leaf growing at an altitude of 35 masl showed dominant metabolites Palmitic acid methyl ester and Linolenic acid methyl ester, a height of 570 masl with Linolenic acid methyl ester and Oleic acid methyl ester compounds and a height of 795 masl with Palmitic acid methyl ester compounds and Oleic acid methyl ester, which has bio-activity as an antioxidant, antiandrogenic, antiproliferative, antieczemic, antihistamine, antibacterial, antifungal, hypocholesteromiic and antitumor.
