Abstract

Abstract. Immunomodulators could protect the body from a variety of infectious agents and
boost immunity. Zingiber cassumunar rhizome or bangle potentially showed as an
immunomodulator through increasing of macrophage activity in vitro. The objective of the
study was to determine the effect of Z. cassumunar rhizome ethanolic extract on phagocytic
activity, nitrite oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen intermediate (ROI) secretions in macrophages
in vivo. A total of 200 g of Z. cassumunar rhizome was powdered, macerated in 96% ethanol
and evaporated to get concentrated extract. Mice were divided into 5 groups as follow: the
normal group was given by water only, the negative control group was given by a 0.94%
CMC-Na suspension, the treatment groups were given by 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kgBW,
respectively, of Z. cassumunar ethanolic extract. The extract was administered orally for 7
days. On the 8th day the mice were injected intraperitoneally 0.7 mg/kg BW of
lipopolysaccharide. Four hours later macrophage was isolated. Furthermore, the determination
of the phagocytic activity, NO and ROI secretions levels of macrophage were performed. The
treatments of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg BW of Z. cassumunar ethanolic extract significantly
increase the ROI and NO secretions levels (p<0.05), but did not increase the phagocytic
activity (p>0.05) of macrophage. Z. cassumunar ethanolic extract have immunomodulatory
effect in vivo.
Keywords: Z.cassumunar, imunomodulator, phagocytic activity, ROI, NO
