Abstract

Seagrass (Enhalus acoroides) has been identified as a promising candidate for natural anti-inflammatory agents due to its content of secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, steroids, and alkaloids. The extraction method employed can significantly influence the total flavonoid content. This study aimed to quantify the total flavonoid content derived from different extraction methods and assess the anti-inflammatory activity of these extracts in rabbits, using varying concentrations of 1%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The extraction techniques utilized in this study were infusion and Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction (UAE). The resulting extracts underwent phytochemical screening, and total flavonoid content was quantified using the colorimetric method. The extract with the highest flavonoid concentration was subjected to an anti-inflammatory activity test on rabbits with induced burn wounds. Data were analyzed using SPSS, encompassing normality tests, homogeneity tests, and non-parametric analyses, including the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests, to determine significant differences in anti-inflammatory activity across the various extract concentrations. The UAE method, using ethyl acetate as a solvent, yielded the highest flavonoid content at 68.836±10.44 mgQE/g. The anti-inflammatory activity of the extracts was evident through a reduction in burn wound size from day one to day fourteen. The Enhalus acoroides leaf extract, obtained via the UAE method with ethyl acetate and containing flavonoids, alkaloids, and steroids, exhibits significant anti-inflammatory activity in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). There was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) in the reduction of wound diameter between the 50%, 75%, and 100% extract concentrations and the positive control (Bioplacenton®) over the fourteen-day treatment period.
