Abstract

Background: Pegagan leaves (Centella asiatica L. Urban) contain antioxidative compounds that can protect hepatocytes from free radicals. The aim of this research was to know the hepatoprotective effect of ethanolic extract of pegagan leaves (Centella asiatica L. Urban) on histological damage of hepatocyte on mice model induced by paracetamol. Methods: This study was an experimental laboratory with the post test only control group design. Samples were 30 male Swiss webster mice, with 2-3 months old and ± 20 gr body weight divided into 5 groups equally. KN and KI were given distilled water for 14 days. In addition, KI was also given paracetamol in dose 5.07 mg/20 gbw on the 12th, 13th, 14th day. KP1, KP2, and KP3 were given ethanolic extract of pegagan leaves in dose 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg per 20 gbw respectively for 14 days and paracetamol in dose 5.07 mg per 20 gbw on the 12th, 13th, 14th day. On the 15th day, mice were sacrificed and their livers were taken for preparation with paraffin block method and stained with HE. The features of histological damage of hepatocyte were assessed by counting the numbers of nucleus damage of hepotocyte (pyknosis, karyorrhexis, karyolysis) of 100 cells in the sentrolobular zone. The data were analyzed by One-way ANOVA test and Post Hoc LSD test. Results: The means of histological damage of hepatocyte were 16.08 ± 5.160; 66.00 ± 3.275; 44.58 ± 5.583; 31.67 ± 2.188; 26.17 ± 3.810 for KN, KI, KP1, KP2, KP3 respectively. The result of One-Way ANOVA test was *p = 0.000. The result of Post Hoc LSD test showed a  significant difference between five groups, *p = 0.000 for KN-KI, KN-KP1, KN-KP2, KN-KP3, KI-KP1, KI-KP2, KI-KP3, KP1-KP2, KP1-KP3 and *p = 0.002 for KP2-KP3. Conclusion: The ethanolic extract of pegagan leaves can prevent histological damage of hepatocyte on mice model induced by paracetamol.

Abstract

Background: Nowadays the prevalence of malaria in Indonesia is still high. Anopheles aconitus is one of the vector of malaria. Insecticide is a way which government uses  to kill the Anopheles aconitus mosquitoes, but it can cause the resistence of the mosquitoes, because of that we need an alternative way to kill them, and we can use larvacide to kill the Anopheles aconitus larvae. Spring Onion contains substances that can be larvacide, so the researcher wanted to prove that granules of Spring Onion’s extract had effects to kill the Anopheles aconitus larvae. Methods:This research used laboratory experimental design with post test only control group design. The subject of this research was Anopheles aconitus larvae that were divided into 7 groups, each group contained 25 larvae and the research was repeated in 4 times. For the negative control group we used 100 ml water. The other six groups contained a different number of granules of Spring Onion’s extract; they were 850 mg, 1000 mg, 1150 mg, 1300 mg, 1450 mg, and 1600 mg. The observation was held after 24 hours, then, the number of dead larvae was counted. The data were analyzed using Linear Regression and Probit test. Results:Linear Regression test showed that the R correlation score was 0.984 and R2 score was 0.969, this meant that the effect of the number of granules of the Spring Onion’s extract to kill larvaes was 96.9% and the rest 3.1% was effected by the others variables. Probit test showed LC50 (Lethal Concentration) was 820.573 mg and LC99 was 1671.886 mg. Conclusion:There is effect of granules of Spring Onion’s extract to the mortality of Anopheles aconitus larvae. The LC50 is 820.573 mg and the LC99 is 1671.886 mg, while the effect of the number of granules to influence is R2: 96.9% and the correlation between the number of granules and mortality is R: 0.984.
