Another groups consisted of a single dosage 5.4 g/200 g bb comparative of Acalypha indica Linn, allopurinol comparison, control induction, and normal controls were administered orally for eight days.Measurement of uric acid levels in blood plasma by enzymatic colorimetric method on UV-VIS spectrophotometer with a wavelength 520 nm. The results showed that the combination 5.4 g/200 g aqueous extract the root of Acalypha indica Linn with 56 mg/200 g red gingermight decrease uric acid levels equivalent to allopurinol and normal controls

Uji Stabilitas Fisik Dan Aktivitas Antioksidan Formula Krim Yang Mengandung Ekstrak Kulit Buah Delima

Delima (Punica granatum L) merupakan salah satu buah memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang kuat karena mengandung senyawa flavanoid dan tannin seperti asam elagic, asam gallat, punicalin, punicalagin, anthocianin, elligatanin, gallotanin, kuersetin, katekin. Senyawa—senyawa ini diketahui dapat mencegah dan menghambat terbentuknya radikal bebas yang penyebabkan penuaan dini dan penyakit kronis. Dalam penelitian ini ekstrak kulit buah delima diformulasikan dalam bentuk krim yang dibedakan kandungan nya yaitu konsentrasi 0, 75%, 1%, 2%. Uji kestabilan fisik dilakukan dengan penyimpanan sediaan pada tiga suhu yaitu suhu kamar; suhu 40C; 40,2 C, uji mekanik dan cycling test. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkkan bahwa krim ekstrak kulit buah delima 0,75%,1% dan 2% memiliki kestabilan setelah pengujian suhu kamar; suhu 40C; 40,2 C, uji mekanik dan cycling test. Penentuan aktivitas antioksidan dilakukan dengan metode peredaman DPPH berdasarkan nilai penghambatan (IC50) yang didapat. Dengan demikian diperoleh hasil bahwa krim ekstrak kulit buah delima dengan konsentrasi 0, 75%, 1 % dan 2% memiliki aktivitas antioksidan dan masih memenuhi nilai minimum IC50. Uji statistik Anova menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas antioksidan pada krim ekstrak kulit buah delima dengan waktu peyimpanan to sampai t8 mengalami penurunan yang tidak bermakna dan penurunan aktivitas antioksidan sebelum dan sesudah penyinaran UV A dengan uji Wilcoxon pada krim ekstrak kulit buah delima juga tidak bermakn

Uji Efek Analgesik Ekstrak Etanol Mencit Jantan Dengan Metode Tail-Flick

In the previous study the analgesic effect of Cinnamommum zeylanicum Breyn had been investigating. The aim of this study was to investigate analgesic effect of the 70% ethanol extract of cinnamon bark (Cinnamommum zeylanicum Breyn.). This study used Tail- Flick method at 25 male mice which have passed sensitivity test, divided into five groupes. Group I as negative control was administered 0,5% CMC, group Il as positive control was administered tramadol HCI, group Ill, IV and V was administered extract of cinnamon bark at 8; 16 and 32 mg/20 g BW. Drugs were orally administered to mice. The reaction of time exhibited by each animal was counted for two hour with interval thirty minutes. The Result revealed that the prepared extract in at the all dose, had analgesic effect significantly in all groups which have been studied (p< 0,05) in comparison to the negative control, to the highest analgesic effect by dose (32 mg/ 20 g BW). Our results showed that the analgesic effect of extract (32 mg/20 g BW) the same with tramadol hidroclorida
