ABSTRACT
Maclura tricuspidata (MT) leaf demonstrated various health benefits, notably the inhibition of xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity, which is crucial in the management of hyperuricaemia and many diseases related to oxidative stress. This study aimed to identify the primary compound responsible for this inhibitory effect. Through a systematic investigation, MT leaf extracts were subjected to solvent-solvent partitioning using ethyl acetate, n-hexane, n-butanol, and dichloromethane. Further purification involved adsorption and desorption using Amberlite XAD-2 resin, followed by column chromatography on Silica Gel and Sephadex LH-20. The purified compounds were analysed using UPLC-QTOF-MS coupled with NMR spectroscopy. Our findings identified quercetin, a phenolic compound, as the most significant inhibitor of XOD activity in MT leaf, with an IC50 value of 212.92 µg/ml. This is the first report of purifying and identifying a single compound responsible for XOD inhibition in MT.
