Melinjo leaves (Gnetum gnemon L.) have benefits in the field of traditional medicine. Melinjo leaves (Gnetum gnemon L.) contain secondary metabolite compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins, phenolics, and saponins. This study aims to determine the hepatoprotector activity of ethyl acetate fraction of melinjo leaves (Gnetum gnemon L.) and hepatic histopathological picture of male white r…
Melinjo leaves are known to have pharmacological effects as antidiabetics because they contain flavonoid compounds that are able to lower blood glucose levels by reducing glucose and regulating the excretory activity of enzymes seen in carbohydrate metabolism. Bioavailability, effectiveness, and low solubility of extracts in water are major problems in drug formulation. This can be overcome by …
Gnetum gnemon leaves contained flavonoids that had the potential to dissolve kidney stones by increasing urinary citrate excretion and diuresis. The low bioavailability of fractions required nanoparticle dosage forms as an option to increase the effectiveness of the delivery system. This study aimed to determine the percentage of nanosuspension entrapment efficiency used for in vivo tests and t…
Excessive free radical production can lead to oxidative stress that damages DNA, proteins and lipids, triggering serious neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases. Oxidative damage caused by free radicals can be prevented by the activity of antioxidant compounds. Based on previous research, papaya leaves, melinjo leaves, and pelawan leaves as natural antioxidants contain flavonoids and phenolic…
The use of antioxidants can prevent oxidative stress conditions, which cause tissue damage, due to too many free radicals in the body. The body produces antioxidant compounds such as SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), Gpx (Glutathione peroxidase), and catalase to protect the endothelium of blood vessels from free radical attacks, which reduce oxidative stress. This study aims to evaluate the antioxida…
Melinjo leaves (Gnetum gnemon L) is one plant that has many properties, one of which is as a diuretic. Active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, and tannins can be found in melinjo. Antinephrolithiasis testing of ethanol fraction of melinjo leaves was carried out in vivo with the aim of determining the effect on ureal levels, creatinine and calcium, crystalluria and urine pH, as…
One of the special toxicity tests is the teratogenic test which is carried out to obtain information on the presence of fetal abnormalities that occur due to the administration of test preparations during the formation of fetal organs (organogenesis period) and to complete safety data from the melinjo plant. The dosage given is 700, 850, 1000 and 1150 mg/kgBW. The extract was administered durin…
