Abstract

Background: Annona muricata leaves are used as traditional tea drink that is currently being studied on the developing effort of treating some types of cancers because they are known as anti-cancer. Motivated by that usage, this study aims to analyse the potential of A. muricata leaves extract to be an anti-colon cancer by investigating the extract capability in reducing blood intercellular cell-adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell-adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1).

Method: The research was conducted in Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia with an ex­perimental design. A. muricata leaves extract was tested in vivo. In vivo test was conducted to Swiss Webster mice induced with 10 mg/kg azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulfate 1% (DSS). Statistical analysis used was SPSS.

Results: EIFAM reduce the serum level of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. EIFAM significantly reduce serum level of VCAM compare to ESFAM.

Conclusion: Ethanol insoluble fraction of Annona muricata leaves water extract of is potential to be an anti-colon cancer proven by the extract capability to reduce ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.
