Abstract

Background: Rhizoma Curcumae longae is a very common medicinal plant grown in Southeast Asia with many useful uses such as antibacterial, cancer treatment, anti-inflammatory, stomach ulcers [1]. There have been many pharmacological studies on turmeric but currently there are no  pharmacological study of curcuminoids standardized extract. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect, which is the premise for the creation of standardized extracts that control the curcuminoid content of turmeric to improve the patient's inflammation. Objective: To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of standardized extracts of curcumine I, II, III from turmeric rhizomes in Swiss albino rats. Materials and methods: Highly standardized turmeric with controlled curcuminoid content was determined by liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detector (HPLC/PDA). Using carrageenan mouse paw inflammation model and measuring rat paw edema to evaluate anti-inflammatory effect. Results: High standardized turmeric at both 0,4 g/kg and 0,8 g/kg doses demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects in a rat foot edema model caused by acute carrageenan. At a dose of 0,8 g/kg, they both reduced the level of inflammation of the rat's feet to a statistical significance compared to the physiological control group and exhibited the same anti-inflammatory effect as diclofenac. Conclusion: High standardization of turmeric 0,8 g/kg gives good anti-inflammatory effect on white mice equivalent to diclofenac 0,05g/kg.
