 Abstract | | |
The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare the anti-inflammatory effects of aqueous extracts of green tea and black tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) against the denaturation of protein in vitro. The test extracts at different concentrations were incubated with egg albumin under controlled experimental conditions and subjected to determination of absorbance to assess the anti-inflammatory property. Diclofenac sodium was used as the reference drug. The present results exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibition of protein (albumin) denaturation by both the tea extracts. From the present findings it can be concluded that both green and black tea leaves possessed a marked anti-inflammatory effect against the denaturation of protein, in vitro. Green tea was found to be more active than black tea, plausibly due to the higher flavonoid contents of green tea. Keywords: Anti-inflammatory, green tea, polyphenols, protein denaturation

| Introduction | |  |
The inflammatory process is the response to an injurious stimulus evoked by a wide variety of noxious agents, for example, infections, antibodies or physical injuries. Inflammation is a bodily response to injury, infection or destruction, characterized by heat, redness, pain, swelling and disturbed physiological functions. Inflammation is a normal protective response to tissue injury caused by physical trauma, noxious chemical or microbial agents. It is the body response to inactivate or destroy the invading organisms, to remove the irritants, and set the stage for tissue repair. It is triggered by the release of chemical mediators from injured tissue and migrating cells. [1] The commonly used drug for the management of inflammatory conditions are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which have several adverse effects especially gastric irritation leading to the formation of gastric ulcers. [2],[3] Natural products have contributed significantly towards the development of modern medicine. Of late, traditional medicine is being re-evaluated worldwide, by extensive research on different plant species and their active therapeutic principles. The rich wealth of the plant kingdom can represent a novel source of newer compounds with significant anti-inflammatory activities. The major merits of herbal medicine seem to be their perceived efficacy, low incidence of serious adverse effects, and low cost.
Tea, a product made from the leaf and bud of the plant, Camellia sinensis, is the second most consumed beverage in the world. [4] Camellia sinensis is a large evergreen shrub indigenous to Eastern Asia, where it is cultivated extensively. The dried, cured leaves of C. sinensis have been used to prepare beverages for more than 4000 years. The method of curing determines the nature of the tea to be used for infusion. Green tea is a type of cured tea that is 'non fermented' and produced by drying and steaming the fresh leaves; whereas, black tea leaves are withered, rolled, fermented, and then dried. [5] Tea has been used medicinally for centuries in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In recent times, there has been renewed interest in green tea, for the prevention of several disease risks and other important health benefits. [6] Previous researchers have reported the effects of several pharmacological and toxicological properties of green tea and black tea on animals and humans, including anti-inflammatory activities. [7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12] In the present study it has been found worthwhile to evaluate and compare the possible anti-inflammatory effect of green tea and black tea against the denaturation of protein, in vitro, as their anti-inflammatory effects have not been studied in this model so far.
| Materials and Methods | | |
Plant Materials
Packaged green tea and black tea leaves were procured in the month of July, 2011, from Desai and Sons, Ezra Street, Kolkata 700001, India. Just after procurement, both type of tea leaves were ground mechanically into fine powder and kept into an air-tight container for use in the study.
Preparation of Extracts
The powdered plant materials (50g) were extracted with distilled water (350 mL) by boiling under reflux for 30minutes. The extracts were filtered and evaporated to dryness to yield the dry extracts of green tea (AQGT, yield: 51.28%) and black tea (AQBT, yield: 17.45%). The dry extracts were kept in a vacuum desiccator until use.
Evaluation of Anti-inflammatory Effect in vitro
The reaction mixture (5 mL) consisted of 0.2 mL of egg albumin (from fresh hen's egg), 2.8 mL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 6.4) and 2 mL of varying concentrations of AQGT and AQBT so that final concentrations became 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1000 μg/mL. A similar volume of double-distilled water served as the control. Next, the mixtures were incubated at 37 ± 2°C in a BOD incubator (Labline Technologies) for 15minutes and then heated at 70°C for five minutes. After cooling, their absorbance was measured at 660 nm (SHIMADZU, UV 1800) by using the vehicle as a blank. Diclofenac sodium in the final concentrations of (78.125, 156.25, 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 μg/mL) was used as the reference drug and treated similarly for the determination of absorbance. [13] The percentage inhibition of protein denaturation was calculated by using the following formula:
% inhibition = 100 × [V t / V C - 1]
Where, V t = absorbance of the test sample, V c = absorbance of control.
The extract concentration for 50% inhibition (IC 50 ) was determined by the dose-response curve.
| Results and Discussion | | |
There are certain problems associated with the use of animals in experimental pharmacological research, such as, ethical issues and the lack of rationale for their use when other suitable methods are available, or can be investigated. Hence, in the present study the protein denaturation bioassay was selected for in vitro assessment of the anti-inflammatory property of the aqueous extracts of green tea and black tea (AQGT and AQBT). Denaturation of the tissue proteins is one of the well-documented causes of inflammatory and arthritic diseases. Production of auto-antigens in certain arthritic diseases may be due to denaturation of proteins in vivo. [14],[15] Therefore, using agents that can prevent protein denaturation would be worthwhile for anti-inflammatory drug development.
In the present investigation, the in vitro anti-inflammatory effect of AQGT and AQBT was evaluated against denaturation of egg albumin. The results are summarized in [Table 1]. The present findings exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibition of protein (albumin) denaturation by AQGT and AQBT, throughout the concentration range of 31.25 to 1000 μg/mL. Diclofenac sodium, in the concentration range of 78.125 to 2500 μg/mL, was used as a reference drug which also exhibited concentration-dependent inhibition of protein denaturation [Table 2]. The IC 50 values are summarized in [Table 3]. Here, AQGT was found to be more effective than AQBT; however, the effect of diclofenac sodium was found to be quite low when compared with both the test tea extracts. This was further confirmed by comparing their IC 50 values [Table 3].
The increments in the absorbance of the test samples, with respect to the control, indicated stabilization of protein, that is, inhibition of protein (albumin) denaturation or an anti-denaturation effect by the tea extracts and the reference drug, diclofenac sodium. [16]
Tea leaves contain varying amounts of polyphenols particularly flavonoids. Polyphenols are well-known natural products known to possess several notable biological properties. [17] Black tea and green tea both contain almost a similar amount of flavonoids, however, they differ in their chemical composition; green tea contains more catechins (simple flavonoids), while the oxidation undergone by the leaves, in order to make black tea, polymerizes these simple flavonoids into theaflavins and thearubigins (polymerized flavonoids). [8],[18] In the present study, the higher anti-inflammatory effect of green tea can be attributed to its higher flavonoids (catechin) content. The effect may be due to the synergistic effect rather than a single constituent.
It has been reported that one of the features of several non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs, is their ability to stabilize (prevent denaturation) heat-treated albumin at the physiological pH (pH: 6.2 - 6.5). [19] Therefore, from the results of the present preliminary study, it can be concluded that both green and black tea leaves possess a marked anti-inflammatory effect against the denaturation of protein in vitro. Previous researchers have reported the anti-inflammatory activity of both green tea and black tea. [9],[10],[11],[12] The present findings corroborated this property in vitro, against this protein denaturation model. This correlation is further strengthened by the fact that the present study was performed in a different model, in which it has not been studied earlier. It is suggested that the anti-inflammatory effect of tea leaves could be further evaluated in other experimental models.
