Abstract

ABSTRAK Platycerium coronarium (J.Koenig ex O.F.Müll.) Desv. atau dikenal dengan Paku Tanduk Rusa merupakan tanaman yang secara tradisional biasa digunakan untuk mengobati penyakit kanker di Sumatera Utara. Namun, kemampuannya dalam melawan kanker payudara masih belum diketahui. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi sitotoksisitas ekstrak P. coronarium terhadap sel kanker payudara MCF-7. Selain itu, skrining fitokimia terhadap ekstrak aktif juga dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi golongan senyawa yang terkandung didalamnya. Evaluasi sitotoksisitas dilakukan terhadap akar serabut, spora, daun fertil dan daun steril P. coronarium dan ekstraknya diperoleh dengan cara maserasi yang dibantu gelombang gelombang ultrasonik menggunakan pelarut etanol 70%. Sitotoksisitas masing-masing ekstrak terhadap sel kanker payudara MCF-7 ditentukan dengan menggunakan MTT-assay. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hanya ekstrak akar serabut yang menunjukkan aktivitas sitotoksik dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 427,76 ppm, sedangkan ekstrak lainnya tidak aktif. Selanjutnya senyawa alkaloid, flavonoid, triterpenoid/steroid, saponin dan fenolik teridentifikasi pada skrining fitokimia terhadap ekstrak akar serabut. Berdasarkan penelitian ini, ekstrak akar serabut P. coronarium memiliki aktivitas sitotoksik yang lemah terhadap sel kanker payudara MCF-7 dan penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk mencari metabolit sekunder bioaktif yang bertanggung jawab atas aktivitas sitotoksik. Kata Kunci: Kanker payudara; MCF-7; MTT-assay; Platycerium coronarium; sitotoksik  ABSTRACT Platycerium coronarium (J.Koenig ex O.F.Müll.) Desv. or known as Paku Tanduk Rusa is a plant commonly used traditionally to treat cancer in North Sumatera. However, its capability against breast cancer remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of P. coronarium extract against breast cancer cell line MCF-7. In addition, the phytochemical profile of the active extract was also screened. The cytotoxicity evaluation was conducted to the fibrous roots, spores, fertile leaves and sterile leaves of P. coronarium and the extracts of which were obtained by ultrasound-assisted maceration using ethanol 70%. Their cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cell line was determined using MTT assay. The results showed that only the fibrous roots extract exhibited cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 427.76 ppm, while other extracts were inactive. Furthermore alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids/steroid, saponins and phenolic compounds were identified on the phytochemical screening of fibrous roots extract. Based on this study, the fibrous root extract of P. coronarium has weak cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cell line and warrants further investigation for the search of the bioactive secondary metabolites that responsible for the cytotoxic activity. Keywords: breast cancer; cytotoxic; MCF-7; MTT-assay; Platycerium coronarium

Abstract

Hyperlipidemia is a condition characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. Hyperlipidemia can lead to vascular disorders affecting the heart and brain, potentially resulting in severe complications such as coronary heart disease and stroke. A range of treatment strategies are employed to manage this condition encompassing the use of drugs as well as traditional medicinal approaches. Among these, the use of medicinal plants presents a promising option which considering relatively safe owing to their natural origin and minimal risk of significant side effects, as well as their bioactive compounds. Catechin is one of secondary metabolites commonly found in plants which showed various biological activities that potential for medicinal use. The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive review of existing literature regarding the catechin-containing plants in lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was employed to select literature obtained from reputable online databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct which were published from 2015 to 2025. A narrative analysis was performed to assess the selected literatures. Based on literature screening, 200 articles were identified of which 14 were selected for inclusion in the review based on predefined criteria. This study highlighted the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants containing catechins which exhibit efficacy in reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Medicinal plants may offer an effective herbal remedy for reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels, with catechins may have a contribution to this activity.
