摘要:Objective: In continuation of our antimalarial candidate drug discovery program on Indonesia medicinal plants especially from stem bark ofCalophyllum bicolor. Metode: We extracted of bioactive crude extract with hexane, acetone and methanol from stem bark of Calophyllum bicolor and evaluated their antimalarial activity by using parasitePlasmodium falciparum in vitro. Results:Methanol fraction showed most active and potent antimalarial activity dose dependent inin vitroexperiments with IC50= 0.52 ppb, and hexane fraction showed moderate antimalarial activity, but dose not dependent, while acetone fraction have not antimalarial activity. TEM (Trasmission Electron Microscopy) analysis confirmed a remarkable reduction of hemozoin in the presence of the bioactive fraction. Conclusion: The results suggest that the antimalarial activity ofCalophyllum bicoloris due, methanol fraction showed the bestin vitroantimalarial activity then another fraction.
