Abstract

Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis, Moraceae) has been reported to possess antibacterial properties and protective effects on the gastrointestinal mucosa. This study aimed to evaluate phytochemical composition, cytotoxicity, and antibacterial activity against gastrointestinal pathogens of 96% ethanol and aqueous extracts from yellow fallen breadfruit leaves. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, coumarins, phenols, tannins, triterpenoids, and free sugars in both extracts. Neither extract exhibited significant cytotoxicity, maintaining L929 cell viability above 85% after 48 hours (MTT assay). Using the agar disk diffusion method, the ethanol extract showed moderate activity against Helicobacter pylori (inhibition zones ranged 20.1 – 27.3 mm), whereas the aqueous extract was inactive at the tested concentrations. Both extracts showed no inhibitory effects against Salmonella typhimurium and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and did not affect beneficial bacteria (Bacillus clausii and Lactobacillus acidophilus). However, the MIC of the ethanol extract was 50 mg/mL for H. pylori and V. parahaemolyticus, and 100 mg/mL for S. typhimurium. These findings suggest potential for supporting H. pylori management and showed no detectable cytotoxicity under the experimental conditions.

Tóm tắt

Sa kê (Artocarpus altilis, Moraceae) được ghi nhận có tiềm năng kháng khuẩn và bảo vệ niêm mạc tiêu hóa. Nghiên cứu này nhằm khảo sát thành phần hóa học, độc tính tế bào và hoạt tính kháng khuẩn trên đường tiêu hóa của cao chiết ethanol 96% và cao nước từ lá vàng sa kê đã rụng. Kết quả cho thấy cả hai cao chiết đều chứa các nhóm hợp chất khảo sát. Các cao chiết không ghi nhận độc tính trên tế bào L929 (tỉ lệ sống trên 85% sau 48 giờ). Cao ethanol có khả năng ức chế Helicobacter pylori (vòng kháng khuẩn đạt 20,1 - 27,3 mm), trong khi cao nước không có tác dụng. Không quan sát thấy vòng vô khuẩn đối với vi khuẩn Salmonella typhimurium và Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Đồng thời, các cao chiết không ảnh hưởng đến Bacillus clausii và Lactobacillus acidophilus. Giá trị MIC ghi nhận ở cao ethanol là 50 mg/mL ở H. pylori và V. parahaemolyticus, 100 mg/mL ở S. typhimurium. Kết quả bước đầu cho thấy tiềm năng hỗ trợ kiểm soát H. pylori và không ghi nhận độc tế bào của cao chiết ethanol lá sa kê.

Từ khóa: Artocarpus altilis, đường ruột, Helicobacter pylori, sa kê, viêm loét dạ dày
