Potensi Tumbuhan Erythrina (Leguminosae) sebagai Antifertilitas
Abstract: Erythrina plants
(Leguminosae) were used as traditional antifertility agents. In the continuing
research for novel plant with antifertility capacity from Indonesian plants,
the methanol extract of Erythrina plants showed significant antifertility
activity in an in vitro assay of spermatozoa of white rat (R. norvegicus). The
methanol extract was separated using bioassay-guide n-hexane, ethylacetate, and
n-buthanol fractionation. The ethylacetate fraction was tested in vitro on
spermatozoa of white rat (R. norvegicus) at a concentration of 0.25 x 10-3
μg/μL. It showed a decrease of their motilities and viabilities, as well as an
increasing abnormality of the spermatozoa.
