摘要:Sa’adah NN, Indiani AM, Nurhayati APD, Ashuri NM. 2019. Anthocyanins content of methanol extract of parijoto (Medinilla
speciosa) and its effect on serum malondialdehyde (MDA) level of hyperlipidemic rat. Nusantara Bioscience 11: 112-118. Parijoto
(Medinilla speciosa) is an endemic plant in Indonesia that its fruit have a purplish red color, which indicated that parijoto fruits contain
anthocyanins, pigments of the flavonoid class that responsible for the red, blue and purple coloration of many flowers and fruits. This
study was aimed to determine the total yield of extract and anthocyanins content of methanol extract of parijoto (Medinilla speciosa)
pericarp and whole fruit and the effect of parijoto whole fruit extract on serum malondialdehyde (MDA) level of the hyperlipidemic rats.
Extraction of parijoto fruit and pericarp were carried out by the maceration method with methanol as a solvent. Determination of the
total anthocyanin was done by pH difference method. MDA serum levels were done in a pre-test and post-test Randomized controlled
group design was used in this study. Rats were divided into five groups: normal rats, hyperlipidemic rats, hyperlipidemic rats treated
with methanol extract of parijoto (500 mg · kg ˗1
, 1000 mg · kg ˗1
, and 1500 mg · kg˗1 body weight). Blood was collected at
hyperlipidemia state and after treatment of methanol extract of parijoto for determination of MDA level in blood serum. The results
showed that the total yield of parijoto pericarp extract and the whole fruits were 11.46 g (3.18% ) and 9.02 g (2.88%) respectively.
Anthocyanins content of parijoto pericarp and whole fruit extracts were 208.75 mg · L-1
and 173.7 mg · L-1
. Administration of methanol
extract of whole fruit parijoto in hyperlipidemic rats reduced serum MDA levels significantly (p < 0.01), from 14.88 nmol · mL-1
to
8.63 nmol · mL-1
.
