Traditional drug Jonlon-5 have been widely used in the clinical
practice for recent years in traditional medicine. The study was
conducted on the experimental animal wistar rats by the
carrageenan induced mice paw edema (Winter et al. 1962, Vogel,
2002) methods. We performed chemical and pharmacological
investigation was based and implemented scientific research
laboratory of Institute of Traditional Medicine and Technology. The
Jonlon-5 significantly (P<0.05) inhibited carrageenan induced rat
paw edema as compared to control group. TNF-α secretion was
magnified by carrageenan injec¬tion (387.2 pg/ml). TNF-α secretion
was reduced, com¬parable to carrageenan group, as a respond to
extract administration. Administration of Jonlon-5 significantly
reduced inflammatory mediator secretion TNF-α by 20.8%, IL-1 β –
41.7%, to be close to inhibition level of Indo¬methacin
administration. Jonlon-5 significantly decreased (P<0.05) of serum
malondialdehyde (MDA) 16.5% in animal model.
