Ultrasound treatment enhances Gynura procumbens phytochemicals, showing potential to combat age-related muscle loss by boosting antioxidant capacity and muscle differentiation in cell models.

Area of Science:

Phytochemistry
Nutraceutical Science
Muscle Biology

Background:

Gynura procumbens is a medicinal plant known for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Sarcopenia, age-related muscle loss, is a growing public health issue.
Limited research exists on G. procumbens' role in muscle health.

Purpose of the Study:

To enhance G. procumbens phytochemicals using ultrasound treatment.
To evaluate the effects of treated G. procumbens extracts on muscle atrophy.
To investigate the impact on C2C12 myoblast and myotube models.

Main Methods:

Ultrasound treatment of G. procumbens leaves.
Enzymatic activity assays (catalase, peroxidase, PAL, TAL).
Phytochemical analysis (phenolic acids, flavonoids).

Cell viability assays under oxidative stress.

Myogenic differentiation marker analysis in C2C12 cells.

Metabolomics analysis (targeted and untargeted).

Main Results:

10-minute ultrasound treatment increased key enzyme activities.
Elevated levels of phenolic acids and flavonoids (quercetin, rutin, kaempferol) were observed.
Ultrasound-treated G. procumbens (UTGP) extract improved cell viability and promoted myogenic differentiation.
Metabolomics confirmed bioactive compound accumulation correlated with muscle-protective effects.

Conclusions:

Ultrasound treatment effectively enhances G. procumbens phytochemicals and function.
10-minute UTGP extract shows potential in preventing muscle atrophy.
Findings support G. procumbens development for functional foods and nutraceuticals targeting sarcopenia.
