"Infeksi malaria merupakan masalah kesehatan yang masih menjadi perhatian dunia karena meningkatnya resistensi terhadap obat standar malaria, yaitu ACT. Pada penelitian ini, ekstrak tumbuhan yang digunakan adalah pasak bumi dan propolis sebagai antimalaria. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efek antimalaria pada kelompok tunggal propolis dan kelompok kombinasi propolis dengan ekstrak akar pasak bumi. Mencit yang digunakan sejumlah 35 ekor dan terbagi atas 6 kelompok. Kelompok perlakuan terdiri atas dua kelompok kontrol, kelompok propolis tunggal dengan dosis 90 mg/kgBB dan 180 mg/kgBB dan kelompok kombinasi propolis dosis sama seperti tunggal dengan pasak bumi dosis 60 mg/kgBB dan 75 mg/kgBB. Plasmodium berghei 2 diinjeksikan pada setiap mencit dan dibuat apusan darahnya selama 8 hari untuk dilihat tingkat parasitemianya. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang bermakna antara kontrol positif dengan kedua kelompok kombinasi p=0,136 dan 0,289 . Akan tetapi pemberian kedua dosis kombinasi propolis dengan pasak bumi GI: 97,97 dan 97,83 jauh lebih baik dibandingkan penggunaan tunggal propolis. Kontrol positif GI: 98,63 memberikan hasil yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan propolis tunggal GI: 23,88 dan 51,66 . Perlakuan kombinasi lebih baik dibandingkan dengan perlakuan tunggal dalam menghambat parasitemia.

Malaria infection is still being a global concern because of the increasing resistance to standard drug malaria, Artemisinin Combination Therapy. In this research, plant extract, pasak bumi and propolis, was using as antimalarial. This study was conducted to find out antimalarial effect of single propolis and combination of propolis with pasak bumi root extract. Using 30 mice, the treatment group divided to 6 groups, consisted of two control groups, two groups of Single propolis with doses of 90 mg kgBW and 180 mg kgBW and two Combination groups of propolis doses same as Single propolis group with pasak bumi dose 60 mg kgBW and 75 mg kgBW. Plasmodium berghei 2 was injected in each mouse and made blood smear for 8 days to be seen parasitemia level. The results of the study showed that there was no significant difference between positive control with the two Combination groups p 0.136 and 0.289 . However, the Combination group of propolis and pasak bumi GI 97.97 and 97.83 is much better than Single propolis group. Positive control GI 98.63 had a better outcomes than Single propolis group GI 23.88 and 51.66 . Combination group is better than Single propolis group in inhibiting parasitemia. "

"[Resistensi yang terjadi pada beberapa obat antimalaria, seperti klorokuin, mendasari gencarnya dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk menemukan terapi antimalaria alternatif, salah satunya dengan memanfaatkan potensi herbal dari alam Indonesia.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental in-vivo yang menguji ekstrak akar pasak bumi dengan dosis 60 mg/kgbb, 75 mg/kgbb, dan 90 mg/kgbb terhadap mencit (Mus musculus) yang terinfeksi Plasmodium berghei. Peningkatan densitas parasitemia pada hari ke-4 terapi dosis 60 mg/kgbb lebih tinggi dari kontrol negatif, sedangkan terapi dosis 75 mg/kgbb dan 90 mg/kgbb lebih rendah dari kontrol negatif namun perbedaannya tidak signifikan secara statistik. Ditinjau dari persentase inhibisi parasitemia, terapi dosis 60 mg/kgbb memiliki persentase inhibisi parasitemia negatif, sedangkan terapi dosis 75 mg/kgbb dan 90 mg/kgbb memiliki persentase inhibisi parasitemia < 50%. Ditinjau dari kadar hemoglobin, ketiga dosis perlakuan memiliki kadar hemoglobin yang fluktuatif dan cenderung menurun hingga pada kondisi anemia. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak akar pasak bumi dosis 60 mg/kgbb tidak memiliki efek antimalaria, sedangkan dosis 75 mg/kgbb dan 90 mg/kgbb memiliki efek antimalaria namun kurang adekuat. Terapi dosis 90 mg/kgbb menunjukkan peningkatan densitas parasitemia hari ke-4 yang paling rendah dan persentase inhibisi parasitemia paling baik. Dengan demikian disimpulkan bahwa terapi ekstrak akar pasak bumi kurang tepat digunakan sebagai terapi tunggal malaria;Resistance on malaria medication, for example klorokuin, underlie the study that aim to find alternative malaria treatment by using herbal potention from the nature of Indonesia.

The increase of parasitemia density in the 4th day of treatment by dose 60 mg/kgbw is higher than negative control, while treatment by dose 75 mg/kgbw and 90 mg/kgbw are lower than negative control, but the difference is not significant in statistic analysis. Reviewed from parasitemia inhibition persentage, treatment by dose 60 mg/kgbw has negative parasitemia inhibition persentage, while treatment by dose 75 mg/kgbw and 90 mg/kgbw have parasitemia inhibition persentage <50%. Reviewed from hemoglobin level, those treatment by three doses have fluctuative hemoglobin level and tend to be decreasing till reaching anemia. It shows that pasak bumi root extract by dose 60 mg/kgbw does not have antimalarial effect, while 75 mg/kgbw and 90 mg/kgbw have inadequate antimalarial effect. Treatment by dose 90 mg/kgbw shows the lowest increase of 4th day parasitemia density and the best parasitemia inhibition persentage.

"ABSTRAKMalaria adalah penyakit infeksi oleh Plasmodium sp. yang saat ini mengalami perkembangan resistensi pengobatan, sehingga diperlukan alternatif terapi baru dengan mengkombinasikan ACT yang menjadi terapi lini pertama malaria di Indonesia dengan bahan lain seperti herbal. Propolis merupakan perekat sarang lebah yang memiliki aktifitas anti-oksidan yang tinggi. Kombinasi ACT dan propolis diharapkan dapat menurunkan kadar parasitemia lebih rendah dan mencegah terjadinya resistensi ACT. Sebanyak 30 mencit diinjeksikan dengan Plasmodium berghei dan diberikan terapi ACT sebagai kontrol positif, propolis 75mg/kgBW, propolis 150mg/kgBW, ACT dengan propolis 75mg/kgBW, dan ACT dengan propolis 150mg/kgBW. Kadar parasitemia didapatkan dari apusan darah tipis yang di ambil selama 7 hari terapi. Data menunjukan bahwa terjadi penurunan kadar parasitemia yang lebih tinggi pada kombinasi ACT dengan propolis 150mg/kgBB dibandingkan kontrol positif. Terapi tunggal propolis tidak memberikan efek inhibisi parasit, namun dosis 150mg/kgBB efektif digunakan sebagai terapi tambahan ACT untuk mengobati malaria pada mencit coba.

ABSTRACTMalaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium sp. which is developing resistance to several therapies. There is a need to find a new therapy by combining ACT, first line malaria therapy in Indonesia, with another substance, such as herbal. Propolis is a hive bee product which has high anti oxidant activity. Combination between ACT and propolis I assume to enhance effectiveness of malarial therapy and to avoid further resistance of ACT. 30 mice were injected by Plasmodium berghei and were given ACT therapy as positive control, propolis 75mg kgBW, propolis 150mg kgBW, ACT with propolis 75mg kgBW, and ACT with propolis 75mg kgBW. Parasites density was calculated from thin blood smear for 7 days therapy. The results shows that the declining parasites density of ACT with propolis 150mg kgBW are found more than the positive control. Single therapy of propolis does not give inhibition effect for parasites, though its 150mg kgBB dose is effective as ACT adjuvant malaria therapy in mice."

"ABSTRAKMalaria merupakan masalah kesehatan di dunia. Tantangan yang muncul dalam mengatasi malaria adalah munculnya resistensi pada klorokuin, salah satu obat antimalaria. Resistensi mendorong dilakukannya berbagai penelitian untuk menemukan senyawa antimalaria yang baru. Salah satu yang berpotensi adalah propolis, produk lebah madu, yang mengandung luteolin 7-O glucoside danchalcone. Luteolin 7-O glucoside menginhibisi biosintesis asam lemak tipe 2 parasit dan chalcone menghambat proses hemolisis. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari efektifitas kombinasi propolis dan klorokuin dibandingkan tingkat yang diberi terapi klorokuin, terapi tunggal propolis, dan terapi kombinasi pada parasitemia mencit Mus musculus terinfeksi Plasmodium berghei. Dosis propolis yang diuji adalah 30 mg/kgBB dan 60 mg/kgBB. Selisih tingkat parasitemia dari yang terkecil dan terbesar berturut-turut adalah pada kelompok perlakuan terapi tunggal klorokuin, terapi kombinasi dosis 60 mg/kgBB, terapi kombinasi dosis 60 mg/kgBB, terapi tunggal propolis dosis 30 mg/kgBB, dan terapi tunggal propolis dosis 60 mg/kgBB. Terapi tunggal 30 mg/kgBB propolis berhasil menginhibisi pertumbuhan parasit secara signifikan Namun terapi tunggal 60 mg/kgBB propolis memiliki efek tidak signifikan mempercepat pertumbuhan parasit. Walaupun demikian, terapi tunggal propolis masih belum sebanding dengan terapi tunggal klorokuin. Terapi kombinasi propolis tidak memberi perubahan yang signifikan pada efek antimalaria klorokuin. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan propolis dengan dosis 30 mg/kgBB dan 60 mg/kgBB tidak cocok untuk digunakan pada terapi kombinasi dengan klorokuin.

ABSTRACTMalaria is a health problem in the world. The resistance encourages the of various studies to discover new antimalarial compounds. Propolis contained luteolin 7 O glucoside and chalcone which inhibits biosynthensis of parasite rsquo s type 2 fatty acids and hemolysis process. The research aimed to study efficacy of propolis and chroquine combination therapy against different therapy groups choroquine therapy, propolis single therapy, and combination therapy by parasitemia level of mice Mus musculus infected by Plasmodium berghei. The dose of propolis was 30 mg kgBW and 60 mg kgBW. The smallest to largest difference of parasitemia in order is chloroquine single therapy, propolis 60 mg kgBW combination theraphy, propolis 30 mg kgBW combination theraphy, propolis 60 mg kgBW single therapy, and propolis 30 mg kgBW single therapy. Propolis 30 mg kgBW single therapy significantly inhibit parasite growth. Meanwhile, propolis 60 mg kgBW single therapy insignificantly accelerating the growth of parasite. Nevertheless, combination of different dose propolis and chloroquine showed worse growth inhibition compared to chloroquine therapy insignificantly. Supplementary of propolis did not provide a significant change in the antimalarial effects of chloroquine. Propolis 30 mg kgBW and 60 mg kgBW is unsuitable for use in combination therapy with chloroquine."

Challenges that appear in to overcome malaria is the emergence of resistance to chloroquine, one of the antimalarial drugs. The resistance has prompted various studies to find new antimalarial compounds. One of the potential ispropolis, a honey bee product, which contains luteolin 7-O glucoside and chalcone. Luteolin 7-O glucoside inhibits type 2 . Parasite fatty acid biosynthesis and chalcone inhibit hemolysis. The aim of this study was to study the effectiveness of the combination of propolis and chloroquine compared to treatment with chloroquine, propolis alone, and combination therapy in parasitaemia of mice (Mus musculus) infected with Plasmodium berghei. The doses of propolis tested were 30 mg/kgBW and 60 mg/kgBW. The smallest and largest differences in parasitaemia levels were in the chloroquine only therapeutic treatment group, combination therapy at a dose of 60 mg/kg, combination therapy at a dose of 60 mg/kgBW, propolis single therapy at a dose of 30 mg/kgBW, and propolis single therapy. dose of 60 mg/kg body weight. Propolis single therapy 30 mg/kgBW was successfully inhibited by significant parasite growth. However, propolis 60 mg/kgBW single therapy had no significant effect on the acceleration of parasite growth. Although However, propolis single therapy is still not comparable to chloroquine single therapy. Propolis combination therapy did not give a significant change in the antimalarial effect of chloroquine. Therefore, it can be concluded that propolis at doses of 30 mg/kgBW and 60 mg/kgBW is not suitable for use in combination therapy with chloroquine."

ABSTRACTMalaria is still the main health problem in the world, mainly in tropical countries since its incidence of illness and death is high. The severe symptoms, which may lead to death, are affected not only by the immune response of each individual but also by the efficacy in the malaria treatment. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of immune response (TNF-α) of the Plasmodium berghei infected mice which was treated with the pasak bumi root extract as antimalaria. This was in vivo experimental study in which the experimental animals were divided into five different groups (control, Plasmodium berghei and aquades, CMC, Plasmodium berghei and CMC, Plasmodium berghei and pasak bumi root extract). The level of parasitemia were determineted by using thin and thick blood staining. The bead based multiplexing technique was used in the TNF-α examination in order to obtain mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) which was later used as TNF-α standard. The results of this research showed the potential of the pasak bumi root extract as antimalaria with the mean percentage of growth inhibition was 88.93%. The correlation analysis showed a meaningful relation between the parasitemia level and TNF-α (Spearman test, r= - 0,838; p=0.002). This means that the pasak bumi root extract could activate TNF-α which acts as immune protector. In conclucion, the pasak bumi root extract could enhance the TNF-α expression as shown by the decline of the parasitemia level in the Plasmodium berghei infected mouse"

This study aims to test the effect of combination of E.longifolia and Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) both given subcutaneously on parasitemia in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei. The doses of the extract tested in this experimental study were 10 (PB10) and 20 mg/kg BW (PB20). Using the 4-day suppressive test, the growth of parasite and growth inhibition percetage of each groups are as following: positive control 22,08% and 50,92%, PB10+ACT 5,22% and 88,4%, PB20+ACT 3,5% and 92,22%. The combination therapy showed significant increase in effectiveness compared to PB monotherapy but insignificant increase compared to ACT monotherapy. Despite the insignificance, this indicates synergistic effect of the two substances that needs further investigation. Among all groups, PB20+ACT showed the best antimalarial activity]"
