Abstract
Background: leaves. Methods: leaves was identified using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS). Results: The results of inhibition of red blood cells membrane lysis showed the n-hexane fraction (concentration 25 ppm), ethyl acetate fraction (concentration 50 ppm), and a fraction of water (concentration 50 ppm) with an inhibition level of 54.5%, 81.8%, 63.6%, respectively. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest inhibition of hemolysis. This result is not significantly different from the standard anti-inflammatory sodium diclofenac (90.09%). Oleanonic acid and ursonic acid were two similar metabolites in subfractions ethyl acetate 1, 2, and 3, which may have anti-inflammatory properties. Conclusion: leaves can have potency as an anti-inflammatory by increasing the red blood cell membrane stability equal to lysosome cells, depending on the concentration.
