Abstract


Paracetamol is a widely used drug, but at high dose, it can produce undesirable side effects such as hepatotoxicity. Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. is the one of Indonesian medicinal plants that traditionally used to treat liver disorders. The present study was carried out to investigate hepatoprotective activity of fresh rhizome decoction (FRD), dried rhizome decoction (DRD), essential oils, and curcumin of C. xanthorrhiza in Wistar albino rats. The liver toxicity was induced in rats using paracetamol. The blood samples and livers were collected and subjected to biochemical such as serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), gross macroscopical, and histopathological analysis. The chemical compounds and their hepatoprotective activity were correlated. Among all samples, FRD showed better activity compared to the samples with percentage protection of SGPT (99,45%) and SGOT (98,86%) level in a dose 6,75 g/kgBW. From the results could be concluded that chemical compounds of C. xanthorrhiza have hepatoprotective activity and synergistic effect.
