Inflammation is the body's reaction to infection, irritation, or foreign substances, as the body's defenses. Inflammatory mediators such as bradykinin, prostaglandins, fluid extravasation, and tissue damage are essential to protect our body as an inflammatory response. One of the plants in Indonesia that can develop is Cinnamomum burmannii. These plants are identified to contain some substances such as flavonoid, tannin, and saponin. The purposed to determine the anti-inflammatory activity of the Cinnamomum burmannii extract using in vitro method compared with diclofenac sodium. Cinnamon bark was extracted using 96% ethanol, and phytochemical screening was determined. Anti-inflammatory test in vitro using two methods, membrane stabilization and protein denaturation inhibition. Antiinflammatory activity using the membrane stabilization method, the IC50 of the extract was 84.45 ± 3.55 µg/mL, while in the protein denaturation method, the IC50 of the extract was 57.412 ± 0.718 µg/ mL. Even though the IC50 of the extract was lower, it is still lower than diclofenac sodium as drug control. Our result showed that cinnamon is potential as an antiinflammation and needs to be developed further.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
