superoxide anion in a diabetic rat, thereby
accelerating the healing process by reducing the
inflammatory period (Fattah et al., 2012; Sun et al.,
2015).
Moreover, flavonoids can serve as extreme metal
chelating (Fe2 + and Cu2 +), so free radicals are not
formed through the Fenton reaction, and the
proinflammatory cytokines decrease (Birben et al.,
2012). The existence of saponins in jackfruit leaf can
reduce blood glucose by increasing the small
intestine's permeability and increase substance uptake
to inhibit the absorption of smaller substance
molecules that should be absorbed more quickly, i.e.,
glucose (Fiana and Oktaria, 2016).
Flavonoids can prevent ROS formation by
donating H
+
atoms, allowing them to become neutral
and their levels to decrease. The decreased levels of
ROS will affect the transcription factor of NF-κB, so
there will be a decrease in the production of IL-1β.
The decreasing levels of IL-1β can affect the
phospholipase A2 enzyme in degrading the
phospholipid enzyme, which can prevent the
production of arachidonic acid from being excessive.
A decrease in arachidonic acid itself can reduce the
production of prostaglandin-2 (PGE-2) through the
cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway. A small
amount of PGE-2, which acts as an inflammatory
mediator, will reduce inflammatory responses to
vasodilation, edema, and pain, allowing the wound
healing process to run normally (Panche et al., 2016;
Leyva-López et al., 2016).
This study indicated that the increased
concentrations of JLEEG could decrease IL-1β levels
and increase SOD levels in the treated groups. The
post-hoc LSD test results also revealed that the
administration of JLEEG with a concentration of 15%
to the diabetic rats with tooth extraction wounds
could increase SOD levels and reduce IL-1β levels
closer to healthy rats without diabetes mellitus. This
result implies that the inflammatory process in this
group decreased and continued to the proliferation
phase. Therefore, the topical administration of
JLEEG at 15% is considered the most effective
compared to the lower concentrations to enhance the
wound healing process after tooth extraction in
diabetic conditions.
The results of this study indicated a potential role
of the jackfruit leaf ethanolic extract topical gel as an
adjuvant treatment to enhance the wound healing
process after tooth extraction in diabetic patients.
Advanced research is needed to determine the optimal
dose and lethal dose of the ethanol extract of jackfruit
leaf.
5 CONCLUSION
The administration of jackfruit leaf ethanolic extract
gel increases the SOD level. It decreases IL-1β level
on post-extraction tooth socket tissue in diabetes
mellitus rat models, suggesting the acceleration of the
healing process after tooth extraction. The 15% gel
concentration is considered the most effective
compared to 5% and 10% gel concentrations.
