Abstract

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are generated through glycation reactions, which take place between proteins, nucleic acids, or lipids and a reducing sugar. AGEs cause degeneration of cells, which contributes to aging-related diseases, metabolic syndromes, and hyperlipidemia, among others. Several studies found plant bioactive compounds such as phenolics (phlorofucofuroeckol-A and dieckol) and flavonoids (rutin and quercetin) could inhibit AGEs, but an alternative resource produced of those compounds and a new compound is still needed. This study was aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of AGEs, especially Nε - (carboxymethyl) lysine (CML) and Nω - (carboxymethyl) arginine (CMA), formation by using three microalgae extracts produced from Micractinium sp. KLSc62 (G4), Chlorella sp. KLSc59 (KS), and Chlorella sp. KLSc61 (SR). Algal cells were extracted with 30% and 60% ethanol, and AGEs formation was determined by ELISA assay. The best result showed that 60% of ethanolic crude extract from Micractinium could inhibit CML formation up to 5%. This Micractinium extract was subjected to be fractionated through column chromatography (C18 resin) as six fractions, followed by ELISA detection of AGEs formation. We found that the 25% ethanolic fraction and 99.9% ethanolic fraction showed significantly most effectiveness in inhibiting CMA and CML formation, which were 23% and 11%, respectively. This preliminary finding suggested that 25% and 99.9% of Micractinium ethanolic fractions were likely to contain bioactive compounds capable of inhibiting CML and CMA formation. We propose to characterize these bioactive compounds using HPLC, preparative HPLC, and LC-MS/MS in further studies.
