P
ometia pinnata
is a plant belonging to the
Sapindaceae
family
that is found in eastern Indonesia such as Papua, Sulawesi
and Maluku with the local name of matoa. Empirically, matoa is
used as a traditional used as an antidiabetic. The purpose of this
study was to determine the
in vitro
antidiabetic activity of aqueous
and ethanol extract from the leaf and bark of matoa. The material
used in this study was obtained from Manado, North Sulawesi,
Indonesia. The aqueous extract was prepared by boiling the
powder of thematerial inwater at 90°C for 15minutes, andethanol
extract by maceration in 70% ethanol. Phytochemical analysis
showed that leaf and bark of matoa contains saponins, tannins,
flavonoids and triterpenoids. The
in vitro
antidiabetic activity test
was performed by the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity method
with p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside substrate and measured
by UV-V spectrophotometer at 400 nm. The α-glucosidase
enzyme was obtained from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The
results showed that the leaf and bark aqueous extract of matoa
had antidiabetic activity by α-glucosidase inhibition with IC50
value of 9.74 µg/ml and 10. 65 µg/ml, while the ethanol extract of
leaf and bark of matoa 10.32 µg/ml and 8.34 µg/ml.
