Abstract

The development of antiparasitic agents derived from natural products continues to receive considerable attention due to increasing resistance and limitations of conventional therapies. This study aimed to examine the phytochemical profile of the chloroform extract of fennel leaves (F. vulgare Mill.) as a basis for antiparasitic agent development. The extract was obtained using a maceration method and analyzed using thin layer chromatography. Qualitative analysis was conducted based on the observation of visible spots after spraying with appropriate visualization reagents, while supporting analysis was performed based on the calculation of retention factor values for the detected spots. The results revealed the presence of several major groups of secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds, as indicated by specific color changes and retention factor values. The diversity of these metabolites suggests the possible involvement of multiple biochemical pathways related to antiparasitic mechanisms. Overall, the phytochemical profile of the chloroform extract of fennel leaves provides important preliminary data to support further research on natural product–based antiparasitic agents.

Abstract

Indonesians traditionally utilize tamarillo for its various health benefits. However, the lipophilic compounds it contains have the potential to cause hepatotoxicity and increase transaminase enzymes, namely SGPT and SGOT enzymes. The study aimed to test the toxicity of tamarillo ethanol extract acutely on SGPT and SGOT levels in male Wistar white rats. The study used a post-test only experimental design with a control group design. Fifteen rats were randomly divided into five treatment groups. Group K1 as a control was given distilled water, group K2 was given paracetamol 2.5 g/kgBW, while groups K3, K4, and K5 were each given tamarillo ethanol extract in single doses of 200, 400, and 600 mg/kgBW. After 24 hours, rat blood serum samples were taken through the orbital sinus to measure SGPT and SGOT levels using the UV test method. The results showed that the average SGPT levels increased in the K2 group by 295.34±13.31 U/L and K5 by 93.67±19.03 U/L. Meanwhile, the average SGOT levels increased in the K2 group by 874±25.06 U/L, K4 by 164.67±7.57 U/L and K5 by 213.34±13.50 U/L. The One-Way ANOVA test showed a significance value of p=0.000 in the K2 and K5 groups for SGPT, while SGOT in the K2, K4 and K5 groups. Administration of tamarillo ethanol extract can cause liver damage at doses of 400 mg/kgBW and 600 mg/kgBW.
