Abstract
Objective : In continuation of our antimalarial candidate drug discovery program on Indonesia medicinal plants especially from stem bark of Calophyllum bicolor. Metode : We extracted of bioactive crude extract with hexane, acetone and methanol from stem bark of Calophyllum bicolor and evaluated their antimalarial activity by using parasite Plasmodium falciparum in vitro. Results: Methanol fraction showed most active and potent antimalarial activity dose dependent in in vitro experiments with IC50 = 0.52 ppb, and hexane fraction showed moderate antimalarial activity, but dose not dependent, while acetone fraction have not antimalarial activity. TEM (Trasmission Electron Microscopy) analysis confirmed a remarkable reduction of hemozoin in the presence of the bioactive fraction. Conclusion: The results suggest that the antimalarial activity of Calophyllum bicolor is due, methanol fraction showed the best in vitro antimalarial activity then another fraction.
