FARMACIA, 2009, Vol.LVII, 1 SPECTROFOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF FLAVONIC COMPOUNDS FROM PROPOLIS Anda Natanela Croci, Doina Lazar, liliana Potorac, Andreia Corciova, BIANCA IVANESCU, MIHAI IOAN Lazar* University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Gr. T. Popa”, Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Drugs Analysis, Iasi, Romania *corresponding author: lmihaiioan@yahoo.com Abstract The aim of our study was to evaluate by UV-Vis spectrometry flavonic compounds from different sorts of propolis from Romania and Israel. We analyzed the major compounds expressed in flavones, flavonols, and flavanones. Total flavones content in Romanian and Israel propolis samples was determined. Rezumat Cercetarea a avut drept scop evaluarea spectrofotmetrică a compuşilor flavonici din sorturi de propolis recoltate din România şi Israel. S-au determinat compuşii majoritari ai acestora exprimaţi în flavone, flavonoli si flavanone. Totalul flavonic s-a raportat la probele din Romania şi Israel. Keywords: propolis; UV-Vis spectrometry; flavones Introduction Flavonic compounds and polyphenolic acids are the main constituents of propolis and they can represent up to 40%. These compounds are involved directly as part of the phytochemical complex in many therapeutic actions. Thus, there are known the following actions: anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, cholesterol reducing, immunostimulating action [1,2] etc. In order to estimate total flavonic content of propolis from Romania and Israel, we improved the isolation method of flavonic fraction [4] and based on reactivity differences we have determined by spectrometry the flavones, flavonols, flavanones, isoflavones and total flavonoid content [3, 6].
All absorption spectra were registered using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer Jasco V530. All chemicals and reagents used were of analytical grade:
Flavones and flavonols form with aluminium chloride complexes that absorb light intensely at 415 nm, while flavanones absorb poorly at this wavelength. Flavanones form with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine phenylhidrazones that absorb light at 495 nm wavelength. Following the indications of Woiski and Salatino [7] we proceeded to determine total flavonic content. Samples were prepared by extraction in methanol. In this study we intended to quantitatively determine flavonic compounds in propolis samples collected from three locations in Romania (1-3) and nine locations in Israel (4-12), as listed in table I. For analysis we used 80% methanol extracts, 1:10 g/v (propolis:solvent). Table I Commercial sorts of propolis
Flavones and flavonols determination Quantitative analysis is based on the calibration curve in relation to which total flavones and flavonols content can be found. For calibration curve we used quercetin. 10 mg quercetin was dissolved in 80% ethanol and than we obtain concentration range varying between 25-100 µg/mL. 0.5 mL standard solutions were mixed with 1.5 mL 95 % ethanol and than treated with 0.1 mL aluminium chloride solution 10 %, 0.1 mL solution potassium acetate 1M and 2.8 mL distilled water. Absorbance is measured at λ=415 nm and the calibration curve is drawn. Flavanones determination Flavanones as naringenin and hesperetin react with 2,4-DNPH yielding hydrazones that absorb light intensely at λ=495 nm. We used the method described by Nagy [6]. 10 mg naringenin was dissolved in methanol and than we obtaining the calibration curve using naringenin solutions of 500 - 2000 µg/mL concentrations. 1 mL of standard solutions is treated with 2 mL solution 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine 1% and 2 mL methanol. The mixture is kept at 50o C for 50 minutes. After cooling at room temperature, the mixture is treated with 5 mL solution potassium hydroxide 1% in methanol and maintained at room temperature for 2 minutes. 1 mL of mixture is treated with 5 mL methanol and centrifuged if necessary. The supernatant was brought to 25 mL in a volumetric flask. Absorbance at λ=495 nm is measured and the calibration curve is drawn. All 12 alcoholic extract from propolis are treated similarly. Results and discussion Results of flavones and flavonols (expressed in quercetin) determination on the alcoholic extracts of Romanian propolis sorts are listed in table II. Table II Flavones and flavonols content (%) of Romanian propolis
Flavones and flavonols determination in propolis samples from Israel yielded the following results (table III). Table III Flavones and flavonols content (%) of Israels propolis
The analyzed Romanian samples of propolis have a flavanones (expressed in naringenine) content between 1.82% and 2.35%. Results are listed in table IV. Table IV Flavanones content (%) in Romanian propolis
Flavanones content of propolis samples from Israel are found in table V. Table V Flavanones content % in Israelis propolis
Total flavonic content By summing flavones, flavonols and flavanones quantities is yielded the total flavonic content determined by two methods (table VI, VI). Table VI Total flavonic content (%) of Romanian propolis
Table VII Total flavonic content (%) of Israelis propolis
For a direct comparison we inscribed in figure 1 the total flavonic values of propolis samples from the three Romanian (1-3) locations and nine Israelis locations (4-12). 
Figure 1 Total flavonic content (g%) of propolis types from Romania and Israel Conclusions Propolis sorts from Romania have a total flavonic content of 24.70- 24.95%. Israel’s propolis has a total flavonic content ranging between 26.53 and 32.11%. Differences are explained by geographical area and native flora of locations from which the analysed propolis samples were collected. References
