Abstract

The research was conducted to determine if Pansit- pansitan (Peperomia pellucida Linn) aqueous leaf extract have in – vitro anti-inflammatory potentials. Fresh leaves collected were air dried and subjected to aqueous extraction and prepared in different doses (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000ug/mL). Inhibitions of HRBC lysis and protein denaturation were used to evaluate in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity of the extract. Based on the findings of the study, Pansit- pansitan (Peperomia pellucida Linn) shows that with increasing dosage, membrane stabilization and protein protective property also increases. The anti-inflammatory effect of the aqueous extract on the plant can be attributed to the presence of its secondary metabolites which is known to have anti-inflammatory property only that these metabolites are not sufficient enough when used in low dosage.
