Abstract

The drug delivery system is an attractive field of study since it has several applications in veterinary and human medicine. In the realm of veterinary medicine, the discovery of new routes of administration or new delivery systems to regulate the release of medications is of great importance. Due to the high number of animals and the special issues related to the administration of drugs and their market potential is very large, it is necessary to modify the dosage form to produce an effective and practicable preparation. Cats are the most popular pet in the world, outnumbering dogs by a ratio of three to one. It is vital to understand the prevalent illness patterns and limits of traditional delivery systems to establish appropriate dosage forms for cats. We believe this publication will be of interest to veterinarians and pharmaceutical scientists working in the field.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Thrombocytopenia is a medical condition characterized by a low platelet count in the blood, which can cause excessive bleeding and serious complications. Current conventional treatments for thrombocytopenia often present significant side effects and limitations, necessitating the exploration of alternative therapeutic options. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the potential of Indonesian ethnomedicinal plants as alternative therapies.METHODS: The research was conducted by ethanol maceration of 15 medicinal plants selected based on their use in traditional Indonesian medicine to treat thrombocytopenia. Male white rats, aged three month and weighing between 150 and 250 g, were divided into four groups, which each group consists of five rats: the negative control group, group receiving 250 mg/kg BW extract, group receiving 500 mg/kg BW extract, and the normal control group. The effects of the test preparations on platelet count, erythrocyte count, and hematocrit were observed after 7 days of treatment.RESULTS: Among of 15 medicinal plants extract tested at a dose of 500 mg/kg BW, Psidium guajava L. leaves extract showed to increase blood platelets counts in thrombocytopenic mice by 60.82% (p<0.01) followed by Phyllanthus niruri L. aerial parts extract at (48.22%; p<0.01), and Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Wall. ex Nees leaves extract (47.14%; p<0.01).CONCLUSION: The extracts of P. guajava leaves, aerial parts of P. niruri, and A. paniculata leaves exhibited significant potential in enhancing platelet levels. These findings suggest that some Indonesian medicinal plants can be used as alternative therapy for thrombocytopenia.KEYWORDS: dengue hemorrhagic fever, Phyllanthus niruri, Psidium guajava, Andrographis paniculata, thrombocytopenia
