Abstract

This study evaluates the protective effects of ethanol extract of mobe leaves (Artocarpus lacucha Buch-Ham.) on ALT, AST, and bilirubin levels in rats induced with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) on Liver. The ethanol extract was prepared by maceration using 96% ethanol. Results showed that administering 400 mg/kg BW of the extract significantly reduced total bilirubin, ALT, and AST levels in CCl4-induced rats. Phytochemical screening revealed bioactive compounds like flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids, and glycosides, which are potential antioxidants and hepatoprotective agents. The study concludes that mobe leaf extract has potential as a therapeutic agent to protect the liver from toxic damage. The significant contribution of this research is providing a scientific basis for using mobe leaf extract as a natural hepatoprotective agent, highlighting its potential for safe and effective herbal medicine. Further research and clinical trials are recommended.

Abstract

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) is a commonly used hepatotoxic agent to induce liver injury via oxidative stress and the activation of hepatocyte apoptosis. One hallmark of apoptosis is the increased expression of Caspase-3, a key executor enzyme in the programmed cell death pathway. The ethanol extract of Mobe leaves (Artocarpus lacucha Buch-Ham.) is known to contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and triterpenoids, which have demonstrated hepatoprotective potential. This study investigates the hepatoprotective effects of ethanol extract of Mobe leaves (EEML) on Caspase-3 expression in the liver tissues of rats induced by carbon tetrachloride. This experimental study utilized 30 male rats randomly assigned into six groups. The negative control group received CCl₄ - and CMC-Na 1%, while the positive control group received silymarin and CCl₄. Four treatment groups received oral doses of EEML at 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weight for 15 days with CCl₄ induction. Caspase-3 expression in liver tissue was analyzed using the immunohistochemistry (IHC) method and quantified based on the number of positively stained cells across five microscopic fields. The results showed a significant reduction in Caspase-3 expression (p<0.05) in the EEML-treated groups compared to the negative control, with the 400 mg/kg dose achieving an effect comparable to silymarin. These findings suggest that EEML possesses hepatoprotective properties through apoptosis inhibition, evidenced by decreased Caspase-3 expression in CCl₄ injured liver tissue.

Abstract

This study evaluates the hepatoprotective effects of ethanol extract of mobe leaves (Artocarpus lacucha Buch-Ham.) in rats induced with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). The objective was to determine the extract's efficacy in reducing liver damage markers, specifically total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, and to assess liver macropathology. The ethanol extract was prepared by maceration using 96% ethanol. Results showed that administering 400 mg/kg body weight (BW) of the extract significantly reduced total bilirubin, ALT, and AST levels in CCl4-induced rats. Additionally, liver macropathology observations indicated improved liver conditions in the treatment group. Phytochemical screening revealed bioactive compounds like flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids, and glycosides, which are potential antioxidants and hepatoprotective agents. The significant contribution of this research is providing a scientific basis for using mobe leaf extract as a natural hepatoprotective agent, highlighting its potential for safe and effective herbal medicine. Further research and clinical trials are recommended to validate these findings and explore the extract's therapeutic applications.
