A study conducted by researchers at Mae Fah Laung University in Thailand focuses on optimizing the extraction of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities from Canthium horridum Blume (CH) leaves using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). The study found that an aqueous-glycerine-butylene glycol (GB-UAE) extract resulted in elevated total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant responses compared to alternative extraction methods. The GB-UAE extract also showed greater cell viability and comparable melanin content reduction efficacy compared to ethanol (EtOH-UAE) extract. The researchers believe that this study will contribute to the utilization of an aqueous-polyols system for extracting bioactive compounds from CH leaves, although further research is needed to fully understand their effects.
