Abstract

The immune system is vital in protecting the body from pathogens and harmful foreign substances. This study aims to evaluate the immunomodulatory activity of Arenga pinnata leaf extract on macrophage phagocytosis activity in mice (Mus musculus) and determine its optimal dosage. Extraction was conducted using the maceration method with 96% ethanol as the solvent. The immunomodulatory test was performed by measuring macrophage phagocytosis activity. Male mice were divided into six groups: a negative control (0.5% Na-CMC), a positive control (Stimuno® 0.013 mg/kgBW), and four treatment groups receiving Arenga pinnata leaf extract at doses of 100 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW, 300 mg/kgBW, and 400 mg/kgBW. After seven days of treatment, the mice were injected intraperitoneally with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, and peritoneal fluid was collected for macrophage phagocytosis activity analysis under a microscope. The results showed that Arenga pinnata leaf extract significantly increased macrophage phagocytosis activity at 300 mg/kgBW and 400 mg/kgBW compared to the positive control. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and triterpenoids, which contribute to its immunomodulatory effects. In conclusion, Arenga pinnata ethanol leaf extract exhibits potential as an immunomodulatory agent, particularly at 300 mg/kgBW and 400 mg/kgBW doses. However, further studies are necessary to explore its pharmaceutical applications and elucidate its mechanisms of action.

Abstract

Marine sponges display significant potencies as an anti-inflammatory agent. Thus this study aims to investigate the effect of anti-inflammatory of Melophlus sp. and Callyspongia sp. by decreasing plasma IL-1β levels of rats. This study was conducted by detecting chemical constituents of extracts and their anti-inflammatory by measuring the plasma IL-1β level of animals.  Animals were acclimatized for seven days, followed at day-8 animals were induced by 1% carrageenan injection intraplantar. Animals were divided into ten groups (n=4) and treated orally according to groups which were C+ and K+ (diclofenac sodium 3598 ppm), C- and K- (Na CMC 0.5%), M50 (Melophlus sp 50 ppm), M100 (Melophlus sp 100 ppm), M200 ((Melophlus sp 200 ppm), C50 (Callyspongia sp. 50 ppm), C100 (Callyspongia sp. 100 ppm), and C200 (Callyspongia sp. 200 ppm). After being left out for 1 hour, blood was collected at the first, second, and third hour. Blood samples were then centrifugated and assayed with ELISA kit Rat IL-1β. Data collected were statistically analyzed. Both marine sponges contain flavonoid, saponin, alkaloid, and terpenoid. Tannin was only detected in Melophlus sp. Both marine sponges provided an effect in decreasing plasma IL-1β at the concentration of 100 ppm and 200 ppm. In conclusion, both extracts of Melophlus sp. and Callyspongia sp. have anti-inflammatory activity with effective concentration are 100 ppm. Keywords: Anti-Inflammatory; Plasma IL-1β; Melophlus sp.; Callyspongia sp.
