Abstract :
Cases of liver disease have increased with the use of hepatotoxin
compounds, one of which is due to the use of paracetamol with excessive doses.
This can increase the production of free radicals so that it triggers oxidative stress
which can cause tissue damage which is characterized by increased levels of
Malondialdehyde (MDA). Oxidative stress can be overcome with antioxidants
from various plants. Cinnamomum burmanii has antioxidant activity with IC50
value of 53ppm and Pandanus amarrylifolius 39.7%. This study aims to
determine the combined activity of ethanol extract of Pandanus amarrylifolius
and Cinnamomum burmanii in reducing MDA levels. Paracetamol-induced rats.
Research using experimental methods, conducted for 9 days with 30 male rats
divided into 6 groups, namely: Normal given aquadest, Positive Control were
given silimarin 100 mg / kgBB, Negative Control was given CMC-Na 0.05%, and
3 other groups were given a combination of Pandanus amarrylifolius extract:
Cinnamomum burmanii dose I (25:75), dose II (50:50), dose III (75:25). All
groups induced paracetamol 2.5 g / kgBB on the 7th day after 30 minutes of
treatment, except the normal group. On the 9th day MDA levels were measured
using the TBARs method using spectrophotometry. Giving a combination of
Pandanus amarrylifolius and Cinnamomum burmanii ethanol extract can reduce
MDA levels with the most optimal dose combination is 75:25 based on statistics
with a significant value of 0.072>0.05 compared with the positive group.
