Objective
The present study investigated the cytoprotective effects of a Pogonatherum paniceum extract prepared with 80% ethanol (PPE) using synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform infrared (SR-FTIR) microspectroscopy and determined its phytochemical profile.
Methods
The volatile and polyphenolic compounds in PPE were characterized using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, respectively. The antioxidant capacity of PPE was evaluated using chemical and cell-based assays. The SR-FTIR microspectroscopy was performed to evaluate the cytoprotective effect of PPE by identifying changes in macromolecule composition in tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBuOOH)-induced oxidative damage in RAW264.7 cells.
Results
A total of 48 volatile compounds and 28 polyphenol components were found in PPE. PPE exhibited a high potential for antioxidant activity by scavenging the intracellular reactive oxygen species in tBuOOH-induced oxidative damage in RAW264.7 cells. PPE treatment also significantly protected RAW264.7 cells against tBuOOH-induced toxicity and restored cell viability. The SR-FTIR analysis revealed that tBuOOH increased the lipid and ester lipid content in RAW264.7 cells. The PPE exerted a cytoprotective effect by decreasing the levels of lipid and ester lipid compounds that had been elevated by tBuOOH in RAW264.7 cells. These findings indicate that PPE has cytoprotective potential due to its ability to inhibit endogenous reactive oxygen species.
Conclusion
This study extends the current knowledge on the phytochemistry of PPE and its antioxidant and cytoprotective effects. These findings support the use of SR-FTIR microspectroscopy to determine the cytoprotective effects of natural products. PPE extract may be a candidate compound for new therapeutics and nutraceuticals that target the prevention of oxidative stress-associated diseases.
