Metabolomics Profiling and In Vitro Genoprotective Effect of Actinidia chinensis Planch. var. deliciosa (A.Chev.) A.Chev. Leaf Extract

leaf extracts revealed the presence of three major classes of secondary/specialized metabolites: proanthocyanidins, flavonols, and triterpenoid saponins. Medium-polar metabolites were monomeric fla-van-3-ols, such as (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin, oligomeric procyanidins and prodelphinidins, and flavonols. Certain glycosylated flavonols and their derivatives, such as myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol. Low-polarity metabolites were characterized by low-polarity triterpenoids such as maslinic, corosolic, oleanolic, and ursolic acids. At concentrations of 37.5, 75, and 150 µg/mL, the extract did not significantly increase micronuclei frequency compared to untreated control cells, indicating an absence of genotoxic potential. Moreover, co-treatment of CHO-K1 cells with the extract and mitomycin C (MMC) at 0.025 µg/mL resulted in a significant reduction in micronuclei formation induced by MMC at concentrations of 75 and 150 µg/mL, suggesting antigenotoxic activity likely associated with the phytochemical constituents presented in the extract.
