Abstract

Kentut leaves (Paederia foetida L.) are a medicinal plant that can be used as a preventative medicine against sepsis. This plant contains secondary metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, saponins, and other active compounds. This research aims to to determine the influence and effective dosage of Kentut leaf extract as a preventive measure against IL-6 expression in the livers of mice in a sepsis model injected with E. coli. The method used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The study involved 24 white male mice divided into 6 groups. Data analysis was performed using One way ANOVA. The average values of IL-6 expression in the mouse livers for each group are as follows: KN at 7.09%±0.06; K+ at 26.36%±0.02; K- at 72.60%±0.05; PI (100mg/kgBW) at 71.04%±0.04; PII (300mg/kgBW) at 62.22%±0.02; and PIII (500mg/kgBW) at 40.92%±0.01. The research results indicate an influence of kentut leaf extract as a preventive measure against IL-6 expression in the livers of mice in the sepsis model injected with E. coli, with a significance value of 0.000 or p-value < 0.005. The effective dosage of kentut leaf extract as a preventive measure against IL-6 expression is the PIII dosage of 500mg/kg BW. The anti-inflammatory mechanism in sepsis is thought to be caused by the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic acids, and terpenoid compounds. The most likely anti-inflammatory mechanism is believed to involve flavonoids inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes involved in the synthesis of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which can trigger IL-6 production.

Abstract

Sepsis is a severe medical condition characterized by a systemic immune response to infection, often leading to multi-organ failure and death if not treated effectively. This study aimed to investigate the antiseptic properties of Paederia foetida leaf extract in male mice induced with sepsis using Escherichia coli. A total of 24 mice were divided into six groups: a normal group (no treatment), a negative control group (distilled water), a positive control group (ciprofloxacin), and three treatment groups receiving P. foetida leaf extract at doses of 100, 300, and 500 mg/kg BW. After 15 days of oral administration, liver tissue samples were analyzed for IL-6 expression, a pro-inflammatory cytokine associated with sepsis. The results revealed a significant reduction in IL-6 expression in the treatment groups, particularly at the 500 mg/kg BW dose. This dose showed the most effective anti-inflammatory response, with IL-6 expression levels comparable to those of the positive control group treated with ciprofloxacin. However, the 100 mg/kg BW dose demonstrated minimal effects, similar to the negative control. These findings suggest that P. foetida leaf extract, especially at higher doses, has potential as an anti-inflammatory agent in sepsis management. The bioactive compounds in the extract, including flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, likely contribute to its efficacy. This study provides preliminary evidence supporting the use of P. foetida as a potential herbal alternative for managing sepsis, but further clinical research is necessary to confirm its therapeutic potential.
