Abstract:In order to achieve efficient utilization and development of Inonotus hispidus, this study optimized the ultrasonic-assisted extraction of the ethanol extract of Inonotus hispidus (IHE) based on single-factor experiments using response surface methodology. Subsequently, the water extract (IHW) and enzymatic hydrolysate (IHEH) of Inonotus hispidus were prepared in sequence, and the components of the three extracts of Inonotus hispidus were analyzed. In addition, to evaluate the inhibitory effects of the three different extracts of Inonotus hispidus on xanthine oxidase (XOD), the inhibitory effects on XOD activity were further investigated. The results show that the optimal process for ultrasonic-assisted extraction of IHE is an ultrasonic temperature of 53℃, ultrasonic time of 1.7 h, and solid-liquid ratio of 1:53 g/mL. Under these conditions, the yield of IHE is 27.14%. The results of the xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity inhibition experiment show that the three different extracts of Inonotus hispidus all have significant inhibitory effects on XOD activity, and the inhibitory effects are dose-dependent within a certain concentration range. The predicted EC50 values of IHE, IHW, and IHEH are 2.19 mg/mL, 3.18 mg/mL, and 2.97 mg/mL, respectively.Therefore, it can be concluded that IHE has the best inhibitory effect. In conclusion, the different extracts of active substances from Inonotus hispidus all have potential uric acid-lowering activity, which provides a theoretical basis for the development of uric acid-lowering functional foods from Inonotus hispidus.
