Abstract

The increasing number of resistance to antimalarial drugs, including artemisinin, in several countries leads to an urgent need to discover a new compound to treat malaria.  Several studies have reported the ability of Peronema canescens Jack leaves to act as an antiplasmodial activity. Therefore, this research aims to assess the chemical properties and antimalarial efficacy of ethanol extract, n-hexane soluble fraction, ethyl acetate soluble fraction, and ethyl acetate insoluble fraction. The phytochemical screening was carried out using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The phytochemical properties of the ethanolic extract were then investigated by liquid chromatography- high resonance mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). Subsequently, an in vitro assay was performed to evaluate their antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7 and their ability to inhibit heme polymerization. Phytochemical TLC showed that P. canescens Jack leaves contained chemicals, such as steroids, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Potential antiplasmodial-based metabolites on L-HRMS were terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. The ethanol extracts, ethyl acetate soluble part, n-hexane soluble extract, and ethyl acetate insoluble part exhibited in vitro antiplasmodial activity against the Plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7 at concentrations of 11±0.09 μg/mL, 3.57±0.28μg/mL, 5.43±0.74μg/mL, and 12.12±1.42 μg/mL. Inhibition of heme polymerization activity in the same series was observed at concentrations of 2.77±0.55 mg/mL, 1.11±0.16 mg/mL, 2.04±0.53 mg/mL, and 6.87±1.24 mg/mL. These results suggest that the n-hexane soluble part of P. canescens Jack leaves have the greatest potential as an antimalarial agent and be further investigated to identify the active compound.
