Abstract

Rhaphidophora pinnata, Araceae Family, were suspected able to reduce pain. This study aimed to determine the effect of Rhaphidophora pinnata to reduce pain by acetic acid induced writhing response in mice. This effect was examined by the acetic acid induced writhing response in mice. The animals were divided into five groups (n=5) and received ethanol extract of Rhaphidophora pinnata leaves at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg BW, Sodium CMC 0.5% as negative control and acetosal 200 mg/kg BW as positive control. These preparations were given orally 30 minutes before the given acetic acid 3% (w/v) as the pain inductor. Analgesic activity was measured by counting the percentage of writhing movements. The study showed that all of dose ethanol extract of Rhapidophora pinnata gave significant pain reduction in mice induced by acetic acid (p<0.05) compared to control group. The effective dose was shown by ethanol extract of Rhaphidophora pinnata 50 mg/kg BW. Ethanol extract of Rhaphidophora pinnata leaves can reduce pain in mice induced by acetic acid.
