- Abstract
Lung inflammation is a normal response in COPD patients that are usually treated using anti-inflammatory drugs. Most anti-inflammatory drugs work to inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase which produces inflammatory mediators. This study aims to examine the anti-inflammatory potency of legetan warak (Adenostemma lavenia) and kersen leaf (Muntingia calabura) extract for treating COPD through inhibition of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and to predict the chemical compounds that play a role in it through laboratory tests and literature studies. Phytochemical assays show that both legetan warak and kersen leaf contain flavonoid compounds. Based on some literature studies, it is concluded that the extract of legetan warak and kersen leaf have the potency as an anti-inflammatory by inhibiting COX-2 activity. The compounds that assumed to be COX-2 inhibit are certain compounds from flavonoid and phenolic compounds groups.
