Need of Study :-
Mangiferin is a stable C-glycoside of the xanthone group1 with antidiabetic,2 anti-inflammatory,3 antioxidant, antitumor, immunomodulatory & antiviral4 properties. It is a widely distributed flavanol glycoside containing pyranose sugar and the aglycon part is 1, 3, 6, 7-tetrahydroxy xanthone.1 The compound is reported to be present in Mangifera indica stem bark, heart wood, and leaves,1 dried root and stem of Salacia reticulata5 and stem of Swertia chirata6 amongst others. Mangiferin is reported to be stable to acid and enzymatic hydrolysis.1
The compound has been isolated by different methods from different sources. The first report on isolation of mangiferin is by Bhatia et. al.,1 which involves extraction and purification of mangiferin from dried stem bark of Mangifera indica using a series of solvents. Another method described by Schieber et al. makes use of pH controlled extraction by partitioning between different solvents followed by purification using a cephadex column from mango puree concentrate.7 Murganandan et al. described the extraction of mangiferin from the leaves of Mangifera indica by refluxation of defatted material using ethanol and crystallization from ethanolic extract using ethyl acetate.4 An extraction method of mangiferin from stem bark of Bersama engleriana involves solvent extraction using a series of solvents coupled with column chromatography to yield mangiferin.8 An automated system involving high speed counter current chromatography has been used by Zhou et al. for isolation of mangiferin from rhizomes of Anamarrhena asphodeloides.9 Hence published literature regarding isolation of mangiferin reveals use of different methods. Also varied conditions affect the extraction process and purity of the compound.
Most conventional methods of extraction pose the problem of solvent consumption in large quantities. This makes the process uneconomical and may precipitate toxicity. Such methods are also time consuming, run a risk of degradation of phytoconstituents during extraction. Besides the efficiency of extraction depends on the choice of solvents, use of heat and agitation to improve the solubility of the desired compound. Hence there have been evolutions of newer methods of extraction with shortened extraction time, reduced solvent consumption and pollution prevention concerns. One such method is the use of microwave assisted extraction.10
Use of microwave energy assisted heating for effective extraction of organic compound is now gaining popularity. The main purpose of microwave assisted extraction is reduction of time and solvent quantity. The efficiency of heating is higher in microwave oven as it is a closed system & also due to ionic conduction and dipole rotation of polar substances such as water.11 The presence of trace quantity of moisture in the drug serves as target for microwave heating. When moisture in the plant cell gets heated up due to microwave effect, it generates high pressure within the cell wall thus rupturing it. This facilitates leaching out of active constituents. The high temperature of microwave can hydrolyse the ether linkages of the cellulose matrix and helps the solvents to access compound inside the cell easily. Various factors such as nature of the solvent, its volume, extraction time, microwave power, irradiation time, particle size of the plant material and temperature affects extraction process.10,12
Microwave assisted extraction method for the extraction of active constituents of different classes of phytoconstituents have been reported viz. extraction of isoflavonol by Rostagno et al.12 Extraction of capsaicinoids from pepper has been reported by Barbero et al.,13 use of microwave energy for extraction of glycyrrhizic acid from liquorice, caravone & limonene from caraway have also been attempted.14,15 However Microwave assisted extraction for isolation of mangiferin is not reported.
An attempt therefore will be made to compare the extraction efficiency and purity of mangiferin by conventional solvent-solvent partitioning method with that of microwave assisted extraction from three different drugs: Stem bark of Mangifera indica, Stem of Swertia chirata and Stem of Salacia reticulata. Optimization of extraction process, with respect to various factors such as different solvents, its quantity, time of irradiation, temperature, particle size of plant material, microwave power, stirring time etc. will be attempted for the drugs.
