Hypertension is one of the major causes of stroke. Stroke can be prevented by controlling hypertension. Noni fruit proved to have antihypertensive effect. Noni Fruit contains scopoletin and xeronin compounds that play a role in antihypertensives. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of noni fruit extract to controlling hypertension. The research method used is pre-test and post-test matched control group. The 6 Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups consisting of 1 treatment group and 2 control groups. Group P1 was induced by using ketamine 0.05 ml + epinephrine 0.2 ml + 6 ml noni fruit extract, group K (-) induced by ketamine 0.05 ml + epinephrine 0.2 ml without extract, and group K (+) induced by using ketamine 0.05 ml + epinephrine 0.2 ml + captopril 2.5 mg. The results showed that epinephrine can be used as a hypertensive inducer. Noni fruit extract as much as 6ml can provide antihypertensive effects. In Vitro, test result showed that noni fruit extract can reduce blood pressure by an average decrease in blood pressure of 58,5 mmHg While captopril 25,5 mmHg. in addition to the in vitro test, the results of the in-silico test showed that the noni fruit extract can significantly reduce blood pressure compared to anti-hypertensive drugs (captopril). the value of scopoletin in noni fruit is -7.6. and captopril only -5.7.
Introduction: Hypertension is one of the major causes of stroke. Stroke can be prevented by controlling hypertension. Cucumber proved to have antihypertensive effect. cucumber contains ficetin compounds that play a role in antihypertensives. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of cucumber extract to controlling hypertension. Methods: The research method used is pre-test and post-test matched control group. The 6 wistar rats were divided into 3 groups consisting of 1 treatment groups and 2 control groups. Group P1 was induced by using ketamine 0.05 ml + epinephrine 0.2 ml + 6 ml cucumber extract, group K (-) induced by ketamine 0.05 ml + epinephrine 0.2 ml without extract, and group K (+) induced by using ketamine 0.05 ml + epinephrine 0.2 ml + captopril 2.5 mg Results The results showed that epinephrine can be used as a hypertensive inducer. cucumber extract as much as 6ml can provide antihypertensive effects. In Vitro test result showed that cucumber extract can reduce blood preassure by an average decrease in blood preassure of 102 mmHg While captopril 25,5 mmHg. Conclusions: in addition to the in vitro test, the results of the in silico test showed that the cucumber extract can significantly reduce blood pressure compared to anti-hypertensive drugs (captopril). the value of fisetin in cucumber is -9.3. and captopril only -5.7.Keywords: Hypertension, cucumber extract, In Silico, In Vitro
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.
