Sažetak
A novel sustainable and eco-friendly procedure simultaneously combining the use of ultrasound irradiation and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) complexation was used to extract phytochemicals from Lotus corniculatus and to prepare flavonoid rich extract having potential as substrate reduction therapy of mucopolysaccharidosis type III (MPS III), a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder. For that instance, Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology was employed to statistically assess the influence of HPβCD concentration, ultrasonic power, and extraction time on the total phenolic compounds (TP), total flavonoids (TF), total phenolic acids (TPA) and radical scavenging activity (RSA) of the extracts prepared, chosen as the responses indicative of the product quality and performance. The potential of such optimised extract to modulate accumulation of gylcosoaminoglycans (GAGs) was evaluated on the fibroblast obtained from patients suffering from MPS type III. Optimized extract prepared by 45 min extraction using HPβCD at concentration of 20 mM and ultrasonic irradiation of 648 W was rich in flavonoids (1.36 mg/mL) and showed notable RSA of 1.04 mg/mL. Freeze-dried extract, at concentration of 3 and 6 μg/mL, reduced GAG levels in skin fibroblasts by 33.97 and 50.08 %, respectively, without any toxic effects at given doses, showing a potential to be considered as a part of the substrate reduction therapy of MPS III.
