Phytochemical Screening and Antidiabetic Activity of N-hexane , Ethyl acetate and Water Extract from Durian Leaves ( Durio zibethinus L . )

The leaf of Durian (Durio zibenthinus L.) contain flavonoids and steroids in ethanol extract. Natural flavonoids have an important role in the prevention of diabetes and its complications and are able to provide good effects in the fight against diabetes mellitus, either through the ability to reduce glucose absorption and improve glucose tolerance. The purpose of this research is to know the activity of antidiabetic extract of n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water from durian leaf ethanol extract. The results of phytochemical screening screen showed that durian leaf contains chemical compounds of flavonoids, steroids, and glycosides. The treatment was gradual to obtain durian leaf extract i.e. with 96% ethanol, then partitioned gradually with n-hexane and ethyl acetate. Therefore, the extract of n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water is obtained. All three extracts were tested activity antidiabetic with inhibition method of α-glucosidase enzyme activity. The inhibitory results of α-glucosidase enzyme activity showed IC50 values for n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water extracts of 9.79 μg/mL; 38.18 μg/mL and 35.83 μg/mL. The results show that the polar chemical component of the durian leaf is potential as an antidiabetic. keywords: Phytochemistry, Diabetes mellitus, Antidiabetic, Extraction, Flavonoids, Durio zibenthinus L.


INTRODUCTION
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder caused by a lack of insulin in a person's body.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The leaves of durian 7 kg, drying in room temperature, and cut small, then made powder.We got the powder of leaves durian 4,8 kg.The powder was maceration with ethanol 96%.We got the ethanol extract 185,2 gram.Phytochemical screening results is done in maceration for 2 x 24 hours.Extraction is filtered to separate the filtr ate from the residue.The residue is remacerated until the obtained filtrate does not contain flavonoids.The maceration filtrate was evaporated using a rotary evaporator to obtain ethanol extract of Durian leaf 9 .In ethanol extract, n-hexane and water were added (1:1), then the extract was filtered, and the n-hexane filtrate was evaporated.Ethyl acetate is added to the water extract, then filtered and evaporated from ethyl acetate and water extraction.Then each extract, namely n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water extract, was screened for phytochemical screening and antidiabetic testing.Phytochemical screening screening for Durian (Durio zibethinus L.) leaves includes examination of secondary metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, and terpenoids/steroids 7 described in Table 1.

Antidiabetic Activity
Preliminary test and inhibition of the enzyme α-glucosidase is the hydrolysis of the enzyme against p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside to p-nitrophenol which gives a yellow color 10 .The enzyme inhibitory activity test was carried out by spectropotometry method at a wavelength of 410 nm.This test was carried out at different extract concentrations to determine the effect of the concentration of each extract on IC 50 inhibitory power, the greater the percent value indicated, the greater the inhibition of the enzyme, and vice versa.IC 50 values showed the ability of the extract to inhibit enzyme activity by 50%.The IC 50 value <50 μg/mL is very strong, if the value of 50-100 μg/mL is said to be strong, if the value of 100-150 μg/mL is said to be weak, the value of 150-200 μg/mL is said to be very weak if the smaller IC 50 value indicates activity higher inhibition, and vice versa.The results of this study indicate that the IC 50 value of each extract of n-hexane, ethyl acetate and water is 35.83 μg/mL; 38.18 μg/mL; and 9.79 μg/mL.This shows that water extract has the potential as a source of active chemical compounds for diabetic drugs which are polar compounds.

CONCLUSION
Phytochemical screening results showed that secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, terpenoids/steroids, glycosides, existed in Durio zibethinus L. durian leaves.The results showed that antidiabetic activity in Durian leaf water extract was very strong because IC<50 ppm was 9.7889 ppm compared with n-hexane and ethyl acetate extract of Durian leaves.
