"ABSTRAKMalaria merupakan penyakit infeksi dengan prevalensi yang tinggi di Indonesia. Peningkatan resistensi terhadap pengobatan malaria telah ditemukan di beberapa negara untuk mengindikasikan bahwa penelitian dan pengembangan antimalaria baru sangat dibutuhkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan antimalaria alternatif, dengan memanfaatkan ekstrak tanaman herbal, yaitu Spirulina dan Pasak Bumi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental yang menguji pemberian Spirulina secara tunggal dan kombinasi dengan ekstrak akar Pasak Bumi terhadap mencit Mus musculus yang terinfeksi Plasmodium berghei. Dosis Spirulina yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah 300 mg/kgBB dan 500 mg/kgBB sedangkan dosis ekstrak Pasak Bumi yang digunakan adalah 60 mg/kgBB dan 75 mg/kgBB. Pada semua kelompok perlakuan terjadi peningkatan tingkat parasitemia pada hari ke-4 dengan persentase inhibisi parasitemia yang negatif. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Spirulina dosis 300 mg/kgBB dan 500 mg/kgBB dan ekstrak akar pasak bumi dosis 60 mg/kgBB dan 75 mg/kgBB tidak memiliki efek antimalaria, Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak Spirulina tunggal dan kombinasi Spirulina dengan ekstrak Pasak Bumi pada dosis di atas tidak efektif sebagai antimalaria.

ABSTRACTMalaria is an infectious disease with high prevalence in Indonesia. Increasing in resistance to malaria therapy has been observed in several countries to indicate that new antimalarial studies and development are needed. This study is aimed to find alternative antimalaria by using herbal plant extracts, namely Spirulina and Pasak Bumi. This study is an experimental study that tested the Spirulina administration singly and in combination with the extract of Pasak Bumi root to the mice Mus musculus infected with Plasmodium berghei. The dosage of Spirulina used in this study was 300 mg kgBW and 500 mg kgBW while the dosage of Pasak Bumi root extract was 60 mg kgBW and 75 mg kgBW. In all treatment groups, there was an increased level of parasitemia on day 4 with negative parasitemia inhibition percentage. It shows that Spirulina dose of 300 mg kgBW and 500 mg kg BW and Pasak Bumi root extract by dose 60 mg kgBB and 75 mg kgBW have no antimalarial effect. Thus, it can be concluded that administration of Spirulina singly and the combination of Spirulina and Pasak Bumi root extract are not effective as antimalaria."

ABSTRACTMalaria is an endemic disease caused by Plasmodium sp. through Anopheles mosquitoes. Chloroquine therapy is the first line therapy as antimalarial, especially in Plasmodium falciparum. The use of chloroquine as antimalarial becomes uncontrolled and resistant in some areas due to inadequate use of drug doses. This study aims to find an herbal therapy that can act as an antimalarial agent. Herbal therapy that used in this study is crude spirulina powder. Spirulina is a plant that works by inhibiting the growth of the parasite by modulating the immune system. In addition, Spirulina also has the ability as an antioxidant and antiinflammatory. The active substances contained in Spirulina are flavonoids. This study examined the herbal therapy of Spirulina either single or in combination with chloroquine to Swiss mice infected with Plasmodium berghei orally.  The dose of Spirulina used was 250 mg / kgBW mice and 500 mg / kgBW. The ratio of parasite density to the 4 days suppression test method in all treatment groups found significant value (p <0.01) with Kruskal-Wallis test. The results prove that the combination of Spirulina with chloroquine has stronger the growth inhibitory activity of parasitemia than single-chloroquine and Spirulina therapy. It can be concluded that Spirulina therapy shows synergism with chloroquine as antimalaria therapy. "
