Functional properties and Bioactivities of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala berry plant: a review

Abstract

In treating various diseases, natural therapies are widely preferred in the modern era to synthetic drugs as they offer little or no side effects, in contrast to synthetic drugs. However, there is limited scientific knowledge about plants that have a broad range of medicinal properties. Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala, native to Thailand and generally known as Ma-kiang in Thai, is one of the least documented plant species. Due to its richness in phenolic compounds, especially anthocyanins, C. nervosum var. paniala has been used in traditional medicine to treat several health complications. The fruits, seeds, and leaves of C. nervosum var. paniala have been reported to exhibit antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-aging, and neuroprotective properties. The extracts of C. nervosum var. paniala are non-toxic to living systems, and they also can activate the immune system. Moreover, they are widely used in industrial applications, such as in functional food products and in many health products, due to the colored anthocyanin pigments and the anthocyanin benefits of C. nervosum var. paniala. However, there is a need to conduct research in this berry species to identify the mechanism behind its medicinal properties. The present review summarizes the functional properties and bioactivities of C. nervosum var. paniala based on available scientific information.

1 Introduction

Medicinal plants have been used in traditional medicine for the prevention and treatment of several diseases by improving immunity and reducing cellular stress, but scientific documentation in this regard is very limited (Azuma, 1987Azuma, I. (1987). Immunostimulants now and tomorrow. Tokyo: Japan Scientific Societies Press.; Sriwanthana et al., 2007Sriwanthana, B., Treesangsri, W., Boriboontrakul, B., Niumsakul, S., &Chavalittumrong, P. (2007). In vitro effects of Thai medicinal plants on human lymphocyte activity.Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology, 29(Suppl. 1), 17-28.). Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala is one of the least documented medicinal plant, which is widely grown in the northern parts of Thailand (Thongma, 2002Thongma, S. (2002). Botanical description of Makiang (pp. 66-96). Bangkok: Lampang Agricultural Research and Training Center.) and is known to possess immense health benefits, such as antioxidant, anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-aging properties (Charoensin et al., 2012Charoensin, S., Taya, S., Wongpornchai, S., &Wongpoomchai, R.

). C. nervosum var. paniala belongs to the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic or indigenous to Northern Thailand. Its fruits are known for their antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties, due to the presence of polyphenols and flavonoids (Leelapornpisit et al., 2004Leelapornpisit, P., Khansuwan, U., Kittipongpattana, N., &Rojanakul, J. (2004). Chemical properties and antioxidant activities of Makiang seed extract for functional food and cosmetic used. In Proceedings of theResearch and Development of Functional Food Products Symposium II. Chiangmai, Thailand.). The characteristic feature of sweet and sour taste and the natural red color makes it a key ingredient in health drinks and functional foods (Patthamakanokporn et al., 2008Patthamakanokporn, O., Puwastien, P., Nitithamyong, A., &Sirichakwal, P. P. (2008). Changes of antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds during storage of selected fruits.Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 21(3), 241-248. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2007.10.002.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2007.10...
). About 200 mL of 25% C. nervosum var. paniala fruit beverage possess approximately 820 μmol of total antioxidants and 74 mg of total phenolic compounds (Patthamakanokporn et al., 2008Patthamakanokporn, O., Puwastien, P., Nitithamyong, A., &Sirichakwal, P. P. (2008). Changes of antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds during storage of selected fruits.Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 21(3), 241-248. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2007.10.002.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2007.10...
). In addition, C. nervosum var. paniala fruit have the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen radicals and ferric ion, thereby reducing antioxidant power as well as up-regulating the expression of endogenous antioxidant enzymes (Sukprasansap et al., 2017Sukprasansap, M., Chanvorachote, P., &Tencomnao, T. (2017). Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala berry fruit protects neurotoxicity against endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis.Food and Chemical Toxicology, 103, 279-288. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2017.03.025. PMid:28315776.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2017.03....
).

Cyanidin-3-glucoside is present in many fruits, including red cabbage microgreen, blueberry, blackcurrant, mulberry, cherry, black elderberry, black soybean, chokeberry, and jaboticaba peel, and it has a variety of health benefits as it could mediate inflammatory responses and alleviate obesity and its related complications (Lee et al., 2017Lee, Y. M., Yoon, Y., Yoon, H., Park, H. M., Song, S., &Yeum, K. J. (2017). Dietary anthocyanins against obesity and inflammation.Nutrients, 9(10), 1089. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/nu9101089. PMid:28974032.
http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/nu9101089...
). Anthocyanin from blackcurrant was observed to neutralize the cytotoxic effects of nicotine on fibroblast and epithelial cells as well as inhibit the lipopolysaccharide mediated secretion of interleukin-6 by human macrophages in a dose-dependent manner (Desjardins et al., 2012Desjardins, J., Tanabe, S., Bergeron, C., Gafner, S., &Grenier, D. (2012). Anthocyanin-rich black currant extract and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside have cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties.Journal of Medicinal Food, 15(12), 1045-1050. http://dx.doi.org/10.1089/jmf.2011.0316. PMid:22738124.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1089/jmf.2011.0316...
).

The fruits of C. nervosum var. paniala are rich in anthocyanins, which imparts the bright color to the fruit and confers several health benefits: lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, arthritis, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases (Charoensin et al., 2012Charoensin, S., Taya, S., Wongpornchai, S., &Wongpoomchai, R. (2012).

http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/antiox3040636...
). C. nervosum var. paniala contains the highest amount of cyanidin-3-glucoside (24.06 mg/100 g dry weight) (Sukprasansap et al., 2017Sukprasansap, M., Chanvorachote, P., &Tencomnao, T. (2017). Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala berry fruit protects neurotoxicity against endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis.Food and Chemical Toxicology, 103, 279-288. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2017.03.025. PMid:28315776.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2017.03....
) compared with a large variety of fruits and vegetables that are known to have multiple health benefits (Chaiyasut et al., 2016Chaiyasut, C., Sivamaruthi, B. S., Pengkumsri, N., Sirilun, S., Peerajan, S., Chaiyasut, K., &Kesika, P. (2016). Anthocyanin profile and its antioxidant activity of widely used fruits, vegetables, and flowers in Thailand.Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research, 9(6), 218-224. http://dx.doi.org/10.22159/ajpcr.2016.v9i6.14245.
http://dx.doi.org/10.22159/ajpcr.2016.v9...
). The malic and citric acid contents of C. nervosum var. paniala fruits are reported to be 0.12-0.19 and 1.57-1.82% respectively (Liawruangrath et al., 2005Liawruangrath, B., Liawruangrath, S., Thongchai, W., &Machan, T. (2005). Determination of malic acid and citric acid in ripe berries of Eugenia paniala Roxb. by high performance liquid chromatography. In Proceedings of the 31st Congress on Science and Technology of Thailand at Technopolis. Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand: Suranaree University of Technology.). The predominant antioxidants found in the fruits of C. nervosum var. paniala are glucopyranoside, caffeoylquinic acid, gallic acid, monogalloyldiglucoside, methoxymethylgallate and ellagic acid (Nuengchamnong & Ingkaninan, 2009Nuengchamnong, N., &Ingkaninan, K. (2009). On-line characterization of phenolic antioxidants in fruit wines from family myrtaceae by liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry and radical scavenging detection.Lebensmittel-Wissenschaft + Technologie, 42(1), 297-302. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2008.04.012.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2008.04....
).

In addition to the fruits of C. nervosum var. paniala, its leaf extracts also have high amounts of phenolic compounds with antioxidant activities (Poontawee et al., 2016Poontawee, W., Natakankitkul, S., &Wongmekiat, O. (2016). Protective effect of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala fruit extract against oxidative renal damage caused by cadmium.Molecules, 21(2), 133. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/molecules21020133. PMid:26805807.
http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/molecules21020...
). C. nervosum var. paniala fruit extracts contain gallic acid (35.34 ± 17.31 mg/100 g of dry weight), catechin (346.55 ± 12.02 mg/100 g of dry weight) and rutin (104.68 ± 14.64 mg/100 g dry weight) (Poontawee et al., 2016Poontawee, W., Natakankitkul, S., &Wongmekiat, O. (2016). Protective effect of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala fruit extract against oxidative renal damage caused by cadmium.Molecules, 21(2), 133. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/molecules21020133. PMid:26805807.
http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/molecules21020...
). Apart from the pulp, the seed of C. nervosum var. paniala also has many potential antioxidants, which have received limited consideration. The seed of C. nervosum var. paniala contains tannins, which have cancer prevention property. However, conditions such as climate, vegetation, soil characteristics, and storage conditions have an impact on the level of antioxidants in the plant (Belancic et al., 1997Belancic, A., Agosin, E., Ibacache, A., Bordeu, E., Baumes, R., Razungles, A., &Bayonove, C. (1997). Influence of sun exposure on the aromatic composition of chileanmuscat grape cultivars moscatel de alejandria and moscatelrosada.American Journal of Enology and Viticulture, 48, 181-186.; Reynolds et al., 1995Reynolds, A. G., Wardle, D. A., Hall, J. W., &Dever, M. (1995). Fruit maturation of four Vitis vinifera cultivars in response to vineyard location and basal leaf removal.American Journal of Enology and Viticulture, 46, 542-558.).

The effect of storage of C. nervosum var. paniala fruits on their antioxidant activity was investigated. Fruits were collected from two different provinces in Thailand, Lampang and Chaing Rai, known for richness with respect to the total phenolic content and antioxidant potential (Patthamakanokporn et al., 2008Patthamakanokporn, O., Puwastien, P., Nitithamyong, A., &Sirichakwal, P. P. (2008). Changes of antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds during storage of selected fruits.Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 21(3), 241-248. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2007.10.002.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2007.10...
). Additionally, storage of the fruits at -20° C for 3 months did not reduce the moisture content, phenolic content and the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC)-based antioxidant activity. However, the ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)-based antioxidant activity declined during storage. Similarly, fruits stored at 5° C for 10 days showed no changes in moisture and phenolic content, but the antioxidant activity was reduced significantly (Patthamakanokporn et al., 2008Patthamakanokporn, O., Puwastien, P., Nitithamyong, A., &Sirichakwal, P. P. (2008). Changes of antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds during storage of selected fruits.Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 21(3), 241-248. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2007.10.002.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jfca.2007.10...
), which was attributed to the temperature-induced degradation of anthocyanins (Chaiyasut et al., 2016Chaiyasut, C., Sivamaruthi, B. S., Pengkumsri, N., Sirilun, S., Peerajan, S., Chaiyasut, K., &Kesika, P. (2016). Anthocyanin profile and its antioxidant activity of widely used fruits, vegetables, and flowers in Thailand.Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research, 9(6), 218-224. http://dx.doi.org/10.22159/ajpcr.2016.v9i6.14245.
http://dx.doi.org/10.22159/ajpcr.2016.v9...
).

The present study summarizes the overall functional properties and bioactivities of C. nervosum var. paniala with recent scientific evidence.

2 Bioactivities of C. nervosum var. paniala

The major bioactivities reported for C. nervosum var. paniala are shown in Figure 1 and explained in detail here.

Figure 1
The reported bioactivity of C. nervosum var. paniala.

2.1 Anti-oxidant and anti-aging properties

Supplementation with aqueous extract of C. nervosum var. paniala fruit (500 mg/kg of body weight, 5 times/week for 4 weeks) has been reported, due to its heme oxygenase-1 activation and ability to reduce oxidative stress in rat liver, at a high dose, without causing any acute and subacute toxicity (Taya et al., 2009Taya, S., Punvittayagul, C., Chewonarin, T., &Wongpoomchai, R. (2009). Effect of aqueous extract from Cleistocalyx nervosum on oxidative status in rat liver.Thai Journal of Toxicology, 24, 101-105.). It is likely that ethanol extract of C. nervosum fruit decreased lipid peroxidation and increased glutathione peroxidase activity in rats (Thuschana et al., 2012Thuschana, W., Thumvijit, T., Chansakaow, S., Ruamrungsri, S., &Wongpoomchai, R. (2012). Chemical constituents and antioxidant activities of Cleistocalyx nervosum fruits in in vitro and in vivo models.Thai Journal of Toxicology, 27, 194-208.).

Likewise, the water fruit extract of C. nervosum var. paniala exhibited total antioxidant capacity, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity assay (93.49 ± 0.24% scavenging activity), ORAC assay (91.06 ± 3.35 μmol of trolox/g of dry weight) and FRAP assay (42.89 ± 0.85 μmol of trolox/g of dry weight). Furthermore, the total phenolic content was 535.91 ± 0.09 mg of gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g of dry weight, and the total anthocyanin content was 50.49 ± 0.64 mg of cyanidin-3-glucoside/100 g of dry weight (Sukprasansap et al., 2017Sukprasansap, M., Chanvorachote, P., &Tencomnao, T. (2017). Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala berry fruit protects neurotoxicity against endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis.Food and Chemical Toxicology, 103, 279-288. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2017.03.025. PMid:28315776.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2017.03....
).

The ethanol extracts from the seeds of C. nervosum var. paniala have been reported to contain total phenolic compounds (173.6 ± 1.9 mg of GAE/g of dry weight) and total flavonoids (44.2 ± 0.2 mg of rutin equivalents (RE)/g of dry weight), with free radical scavenging activity (IC50 value of 0.09 mg/mg DPPH) (Maisuthisakul et al., 2007Maisuthisakul, P., Suttajit, M., &Pongsawatmanit, R. (2007). Assessment of phenolic content and free radical scavenging capacity of some Thai indigenous plants.Food Chemistry, 100(4), 1409-1418. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2005.11.032.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.200...
).

Apart from the fruit and seed extracts, the leaf extracts of C. nervosum var. paniala were also observed to exhibit potent anti-aging and antioxidant activities, which were influenced by the extraction method and age of the leaves. Three different solvents, namely water, ethanol, and chloroform, were used to extract total phenolic compounds and antioxidants from the leaves of C. nervosum var. paniala in hot and cold extraction methods. The hot methanol and hot water extracts showed maximum yields from old leaves; the yields were 23.96 and 23.93% respectively. The hot water extract from old leaves had the highest flavonoid content (417.56 ± 25.18 mg of QE/g of dried extract), and the hot and cold methanol extracts from old leaves had the highest radical scavenging activity of 0.01 ± 0.005 and 0.02 ± 0.004 mg/mL respectively. The hot and cold chloroform extracts from old leaves expressed high metal chelating activity (0.01± 0.001 and 0.10 ± 0.01 mg/mL respectively) compared with other tested extracts. The cold water extract from young leaves showed the highest phenolic content (1032.49 ± 18.11 mg of GAE/mg of dried extract). The cold methanol extract from old leaves and the cold chloroform extract from young leaves exhibited tyrosinase inhibiting activity. The cold water extracts from old and young leaves showed gelatinases inhibition activity (Manosroi et al., 2015Manosroi, J., Chankhampan, C., Kumguan, K., Manosroi, W., &Manosroi, A. (2015). In vitro anti-aging activities of extracts from leaves of Ma-Kiang (Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala).Pharmaceutical Biology, 53(6), 862-869. http://dx.doi.org/10.3109/13880209.2014.946058. PMid:25431131.
http://dx.doi.org/10.3109/13880209.2014....
).

2.2 Anti-mutagenicity and anti-carcinogenic activities

The methanol extract from C. nervosum var. paniala seed (MECS) (100-1,000 μg/plate) had no mutagenic effect on Salmonella typhimurium strains of TA98 and TA100. Interestingly, MECS exhibited anti-mutagenic activity on TA98 against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo [4,5-f] quinolone (MeIQ) induced mutation and on TA100 strain against 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-acrylamide (AF-2) induced mutation. Moreover, MECS exhibited a chemoprotective effect against diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rat model (Inboot et al., 2012Inboot, W., Taya, S., Chailungka, A., Meepowpan, P., &Wongpoomchai, R. (2012). Genotoxicity and antigenotoxicity of the methanol extract of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala seed using a Salmonella mutation assay and rat liver micronucleus tests.Molecular & Cellular Toxicology, 8(1), 19-24. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13273-012-0003-y.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13273-012-000...
). Similarly, aqueous extract of C. nervosum var. paniala fruit (AECF) exhibited no mutagenic activity on S. Typhimurium strains of TA98 and TA100 and displayed slight anti-mutagenic activity against AFB1 and MeIQ induced mutagenesis. The study also showed that AECF was non-toxic to rats up to a concentration of 5,000 mg/kg of body weight. Unlike MECS treatment, AECF treatment does not exhibit anti-diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rat (Charoensin et al., 2012Charoensin, S., Taya, S., Wongpornchai, S., &Wongpoomchai, R. (2012). Assessment of genotoxicity and antigenotoxicity of an aqueous extract of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala in in vitro and in vivo models.Interdisciplinary Toxicology, 5(4), 201-206. http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/v10102-012-0033-2. PMid:23554564.
http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/v10102-012-003...
).

Diethylnitrosamine and phenobarbital induced glutathione-S-transferase placental form, a marker for the induction and development of neoplastic in rat liver, and preneoplastic lesions were diminished in rats supplemented with 1000 mg/kg of body weight of an aqueous extract of C. nervosum var. paniala fruits. The level of malondialdehyde in the serum and liver of the experimental subject was also reduced, and the activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase and catalase, in the liver, were improved after the fruit extract of C. nervosum var. paniala treatment (Taya et al., 2014Taya, S., Punvittayagul, C., Inboot, W., Fukushima, S., &Wongpoomchai, R. (2014). Cleistocalyx nervosum extract ameliorates chemical-induced oxidative stress in early stages of rat hepatocarcinogenesis.Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, 15(6), 2825-2830. http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2014.15.6.2825. PMid:24761908.
http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2014.15....
). The chemoprotective effect of the extract may be attributed to its richness in anthocyanins, which are known bioactive compounds having chemopreventive effects against diethylnitrosamine and phenobarbital-induced hepatocarcinogenesis (Bishayee et al., 2011Bishayee, A., Mbimba, T., Thoppil, R. J., Háznagy-Radnai, E., Sipos, P., Darvesh, A. S., Folkesson, H. G., &Hohmann, J. (2011). Anthocyanin rich black currant (Ribesnigrum L.) extract affords chemoprevention against diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocellular carcinogenesis in rats.The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 22(11), 1035-1046. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jnutbio.2010.09.001. PMid:21216582.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jnutbio.2010...
).

2.3 Anti-heavy metal toxicity

Cadmium (Cd) causes severe health defects mainly by exhausting the antioxidant system of the host (Poontawee et al., 2016Poontawee, W., Natakankitkul, S., &Wongmekiat, O. (2016). Protective effect of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala fruit extract against oxidative renal damage caused by cadmium.Molecules, 21(2), 133. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/molecules21020133.

PMid:20361350.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10534-010-932...
). Aqueous extract of C. nervosum var. paniala fruit (AECF) prevented Cd-induced weight loss without altering food intake in rats. AECF supplementation (1 and 2 g/kg of body weight) significantly reduced Cd-induced renal damages and oxidative stress. Specifically, the levels of nitric oxide and malondialdehyde were reduced in the treated group and the equilibrium of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants was also maintained. The results suggest that the antioxidant potential of the extract was responsible for the renal-protective activity of AECF (Poontawee et al., 2016Poontawee, W., Natakankitkul, S., &Wongmekiat, O. (2016). Protective effect of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala fruit extract against oxidative renal damage caused by cadmium.Molecules, 21(2), 133. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/molecules21020133. PMid:26805807.
http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/molecules21020...
). The presence of catechin, rutin, gallic acid, and cyanidin-3-glycoside could be attributed to the anti-oxidative stress property of C. nervosum var. paniala fruit (Poontawee et al., 2016Poontawee, W., Natakankitkul, S., &Wongmekiat, O. (2016). Protective effect of Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala fruit extract against oxidative renal damage caused by cadmium.Molecules, 21(2), 133. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/molecules21020133.

PMid:24761908.
http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2014.15....
).

2.4 Neuroprotective property

Oxidative stress plays a key role in mediating different neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (Butterfield et al., 2006Butterfield, D. A., Perluigi, M., &Sultana, R. (2006). Oxidative stress in Alzheimer’s disease brain: new insights from redox proteomics.European Journal of Pharmacology, 545(1), 39-50. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejphar.2006.06.026. PMid:16860790.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejphar.2006....
; Praticò, 2008Praticò, D. (2008). Oxidative stress hypothesis in Alzheimer’s disease: a reappraisal.Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 29(12), 609-615. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tips.2008.09.001. PMid:18838179.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tips.2008.09...
). C. nervosum var. paniala could play a critical role in mediating the oxidative stress levels of the brain due to the presence of anthocyanins, which are known to cross the blood-brain barrier (Andres-Lacueva et al., 2005Andres-Lacueva, C., Shukitt-Hale, B., Galli, R. L., Jauregui, O., Lamuela-Raventos, R. M., &Joseph, J. A. (2005). Anthocyanins in aged blueberry-fed rats are found centrally and may enhance memory.Nutritional Neuroscience, 8(2), 111-120. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10284150500078117. PMid:16053243.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10284150500078...
). The pre-treatment of cells with C. nervosum var. paniala fruit extracts (0.05-1 μg/mL) for 24 hours significantly protected against glutamate-induced toxicity in HT22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cells. Additionally, glutamate was observed to activate apoptosis-mediated cell death in cells as it increased the protein expression of ER stress-apoptotic markers, including calpain, cleaved caspase-12, and CHOP, which was significantly suppressed by pretreatment of cells with C. nervosum var. paniala fruit extracts. The extract also retained the shape of the neuronal cells, reduced the intracellular ROS levels and maintained the equilibrium of cellular antioxidant enzymes system. Thus, C. nervosum var. paniala fruit extracts inhibited glutamate-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis by up-regulating the gene expression of superoxide dismutases, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione-S-transferases. These results show that C. nervosum var. paniala fruit extracts have neuroprotective properties mediated by antioxidant defense (Sukprasansap et al., 2017Sukprasansap, M., Chanvorachote, P., &Tencomnao, T. (2017). Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala berry fruit protects neurotoxicity against endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis.Food and Chemical Toxicology, 103, 279-288. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2017.03.025. PMid:28315776.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fct.2017.03....
).

2.5 Anti-microbial activities

An absorbent and desorbent based concentrated ethanol-water extract of C. nervosum var. paniala seed (CEWCE) showed a high content of flavonoids and phenolic compounds compared with the non-concentrated extract. The extract exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against pathogens such as Escherichia coli and S. Typhimurium, which are spiked on fresh-cut cantaloupe. Also, CEWCE protected vegetables from microbial spoilage during cold storage. The results suggest that concentrated C. nervosum var. paniala seed extract could be used in the food processing industry to prevent microbial decomposition of fresh vegetables (Tantratian et al., 2019Tantratian, S., Balmuang, N., &Krusong, W. (2019). Phenolic enrichment of Ma-Kieng seed extract using absorbent and this enriched extract application for safety control of fresh-cut cantaloupe.Lebensmittel-Wissenschaft + Technologie, 106, 105-112. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2019.01.049.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2019.01....
).

2.6 Immune enhancement

Aqueous extracts of C. nervosum var. paniala fruit significantly elevated human lymphocyte proliferation and enhanced the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, which suggest that C. nervosum var. paniala fruit extract has the ability to alter the immune system (Sriwanthana et al., 2007Sriwanthana, B., Treesangsri, W., Boriboontrakul, B., Niumsakul, S., &Chavalittumrong, P. (2007). In vitro effects of Thai medicinal plants on human lymphocyte activity.Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology, 29(Suppl. 1), 17-28.).

3 Commercial value and applications

Fruits of C. nervosum var. paniala are used for the preparation of health drinks. Freeze-dried C. nervosum var. paniala fruit extracts can be used in the food and cosmetic industries. The extracted fruit pulp can be processed as fruit jam with a sweet and sour taste. The essential oil can be extracted from the seeds of C. nervosum var. paniala. The residues of the fruits and seeds can be used for the preparation of spa and aromatherapeutic products. Thus, C. nervosum has commercial value without any wastage (Chaisawadi & Methawiriyasilp, 2008Chaisawadi, S., &Methawiriyasilp, W. (2008). Clean production of commercial ‘Makiang’ juice processing for medicinal herbs and health benefits.Acta Horticulturae, (786), 201-208. http://dx.doi.org/10.17660/ActaHortic.2008.786.22.
http://dx.doi.org/10.17660/ActaHortic.20...
).

Natural hair dyes are preferred by individuals to synthetic dyes due to safety issues. Anthocyanins, which are richly present in C. nervosum var. paniala, can be used as a natural coloring agent (Boo et al., 2012Boo, H. O., Hwang, S. J., Bae, C. S., Park, S. H., Heo, B. G., &Gorinstein, S. (2012). Extraction and characterization of some natural plant pigments.Industrial Crops and Products, 40, 129-135. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.indcrop.2012.02.042.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.indcrop.2012...
). C. nervosum var. paniala fruit extracts were tested for natural coloring property. The hydrochloric ethanol extract of C. nervosum var. paniala fruit (HEECF) was mixed with a stable base and used as a coloring spray; it was tested on human volunteers. The results showed that HEECF based natural hair coloring was feasible and stable under accelerated test, and it retained up to 5 washes. The results of the study suggest that HEECF could be a promising natural colorant in cosmetic preparations without any adverse effects (Pipattanamomgkol et al., 2018Pipattanamomgkol, P., Lourith, N., &Kanlayavattanakul, M. (2018). The natural approach to hair dyeing product with Cleistocalyx nervosum var. paniala.Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy, 8, 88-93. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.scp.2018.04.001.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.scp.2018.04....
).

4 Concluding remarks

Though several studies have reported the bioactive constitution of the different parts of the C. nervosum var. paniala plant, a detailed biochemical report is missing. The functional properties and bioactivity of C. nervosum var. paniala were mainly influenced by the extraction method and concentration techniques. Thus, an optimized extraction method has to be determined to obtain superior quality extracts. Further detailed studies are needed to reveal the mechanisms behind the health benefits of this species. The anthocyanin content of berry fruit, especially cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, improves inflammatory bowel disease by reducing cytokine-induced inflammation in intestinal cells (Serra et al., 2013Serra, D., Paixao, J., Nunes, C., Dinis, T. C., &Almeida, L. M. (2013). Cyanidin-3-glucoside suppresses cytokine-induced inflammatory response in human intestinal cells: comparison with 5-amino salicylic acid.PLoS One, 8(9), e73001. http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0073001. PMid:24039842.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0...
) in addition to showing anti-allergic activity by suppressing interleukin 4 and 13 in T cells (Pyo et al., 2014Pyo, M. Y., Yoon, S. J., Yu, Y., Park, S., &Jin, M. (2014). Cyanidin-3-glucoside suppresses Th2 cytokines and GATA-3 transcription factor in EL-4 T cells.Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 78(6), 1037-1043. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09168451.2014.912115. PMid:25036132.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09168451.2014....
). Additionally, it was able to protect human endothelial cells from TNF-α, by mediating leukocyte adhesion, accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and other oxidant molecules as well as regulating the activation of NF-κB (Ferrari et al., 2017Ferrari, D., Cimino, F., Fratantonio, D., Molonia, M. S., Bashllari, R., Busà, R., Saija, A., &Speciale, A. (2017). Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside modulates the in vitro inflammatory crosstalk between intestinal epithelial and endothelial cells.Mediators of Inflammation, 2017, 3454023. http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2017/3454023. PMid:28373746.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2017/3454023...
; Speciale et al., 2010Speciale, A., Canali, R., Chirafisi, J., Saija, A., Virgili, F., &Cimino, F. (2010). Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside protection against TNF-α-induced endothelial dysfunction: involvement of nuclear factor-κB signaling.Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 58(22), 12048-12054. http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jf1029515. PMid:20958056.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jf1029515...
). Thus more research on the functional and biological properties of C. nervosum var. paniala will be useful in developing new therapies. With proper scientific evidence, this berry fruit can be used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
