Abstract

Obesity results from prolonged energy imbalance, with anti-obesity treatment targeting pancreatic lipase inhibition. Peronema canescens Jack. (PC) known as Sungkai, has traditionally been used to treat various ailments. This study aimed to assess PC antioxidant and antilipase activities and optimize effervescent granule formulations. Phytochemical screening and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) were performed, followed by antioxidant analysis using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydazyl (DPPH) and pancreatic antilipase activity, using the p-NPB substrate, were employed. The ethanol fraction of PC demonstrated potent antioxidant activity (IC50 = 47.27 mg/mL), while the insoluble fraction showed the highest pancreatic antilipase activity (67.65%). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) identified active compounds, including dimethyl tetracycline, 2-methoxy-5H-indolo[2,3-b] quinoxaline, and trilaurin, with molecular docking study indicating dimethyl tetracycline was the most effective antilipase candidate, binding to the pancreatic receptor (PDB ID: 1LPB). This compound also met Lipinski’s Rule of Five and ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity), suggesting favorable pharmacokinetics and safety. Evaluation of effervescent granules included angle of repose, bulk density, and tapped density. Optimization of tartaric and citric acid concentration using Design Expert 13 yielding two optimal formulas: Formula 1 with 13.16% tartaric acid and 0.84% citric acid, and Formula 2 with 13.21% tartaric acid and 0.80% citric acid. PC leaves have the potential to be an antioxidant and anti-obesity and can be developed into effervescent formula.
