Abstract
Background:Toxoplasmosis is a dangerous infectious disease caused by
Toxoplasma gondii in the blood or tissue. This disease is zoonotic which is a source
of transmission from animals to humans. Therapy of herbal medicine for
Toxoplasmosis can be determined by looking at IFN, IL-12 and MMP-
9expression, and seeing the level of organ damage.
Purpose: to prove the mechanism of antitoxoplasmosis of mangosteen peel extract
against Toxoplasma gondii.
Methods: The study was divided into two stages. Stage I: determination of the
effective dose 50% of mangosteen peel extract against Toxoplasma.gondii. Stage
II: mechanism of antitoxoplasmosis of mangosteen peel extract against Toxoplasma
gondii. This study used 50 mice divided into five groups: healthy control group
(P0) given 0.5% CMC-Na, P1 group without treatment, P2 group given
Cotrimoxazole 60mg/kgB, P3 and P4 groups given mangosteen peel extract 200
and 400 mg/kgBW (orally twice a day). After injection of Toxoplasmagondii 102
intraperitonially and given treatment for 5 days then blood samples taken for
measurement of SGPT, SGOT, BUN and creatinine; liver and kidney organ
samples to determine organ damage, IFN, IL-12 and MMP-9expression. Results:
ED 50% at dose of 60mg/kgBW. Mangosteen peel extract 200mg/kgBW (P3) and
400mg/kgBB (P4) with significance (p<0.05) can reduce the number of parasites,
levels of SGPT, SGOT, BUN and creatinine, reduce liver and kidney damage,
increases IFN and IL-12 and decreases MMP-9 expression.
Conclusion: Mangosteen peel extract 200mg/kgBW (P3) was proven as
antitoxoplasmosis in mice can reduce the number of parasites, levels of SGPT,
SGOT, BUN and creatinine, reduce liver and kidney damage, increases IFN and
IL-12 and decreases MMP-9 expression
