Abstract

Coptosapelta flavescens Korth. is a liana plant from the Rubiaceae family. In East Kalimantan, it is also known as “Akar Tambolekar” or “Merung”, it is called “akar” or root as its trunk spreads like a root. The plant’s stems are used by ethnic Dayak in East Kalimantan to overcome high blood pressure and it has been proven to induce vasorelaxation on blood vessels, but the its action mechanism in the endothelial or vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are unknown. Vasorelaxation on the blood vessels could be mediated by endothelial or by the VSMC. This research aims to study in vitro which of them is the mechanism of action of Coptosapelta flavescens Stems (CFS) extract. CFS were taken from the secondary forest in Paser Regency, East Kalimantan Province. Its simplicia were macerated with methanol solvent for three days and twice repeated. Vasorelaxation activity of the blood vessels was tested with rats’ isolated thoracic aorta with endothelial and with the endothelial removed (endothelium-denuded). Both aorta of 3 mm length were soaked into Krebs-Henselheit solution at 37°C, pH 7.4 and aerated with carbogen gas. After they have acclimatized, both aortas were contracted with phenylephrine solution, after reaching peak contraction and plateau, the solution of extract or its solvent (Control) was administered in cumulatively increasing doses. The results show that CFS extracts induce vasorelaxation both in the endothelial-intact aorta and in the endothelial-denuded aorta. At high concentrations, the vasorelaxation activity in the endothelial-intact aorta was weaker than that on endothelial-denuded aorta. This study proves that action mechanism of blood vessels’ vasorelaxation induced by the methanol extract of CFS were more dominantly mediated by the blood vessels smooth muscle; and at high concentrations the endothelial actually weakened the VSMC vasorelaxation activity. Further study is necessary on the mechanism of action vasorelaxation through the modulation of intracellular or extracellular calcium ion channels of VSMC Keywords: Coptosapelta flavescens, vasorelaxation, extract, aorta, in vitro

Abstract

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes acute and chronic liver infections which can be treated by using interferon and antiviral. However, the treatment is relatively expensive. We reported here a case of a patient with chronic hepatitis B who had negative seroconversion without interferon (IFN) and antiviral treatment after herbal consumption. A retrospective investigation showed that the patient consumed Curcuma xanthorrhiza rhizome and Camelia sinensis green tea. These herbs were widely both in vitro and in vivo studied for their effects against HBV infection, although the clinical studies are limited. This case reported the effect of C. xanthorrhiza rhizome and C. sinensis green tea consumption in a patient with chronic hepatitis B. A female patient with chronic hepatisis B infection at the age of 32 y.o. had been taking neuro vitamins regularly for a year before infection detected. She was an asymptomatic patient with normal limits liver function, positive HBsAg and negative anti-Hbs. At the age of 45, she started taking C. xanthorrhiza rhizome simplicia equivalent to 5mg of curcumin twice daily and drinking C. sinensis green tea regularly. Six years later, HBsAg was not detected and her liver function remained within normal limits and Anti-HBs were detected 5 years later. In conclusion, the consumption of C. xanthorrhiza rhizome and C. sinensis green tea can against chronic hepatisis B infection by eliminate HBV dan induce anti-HBs.
