| Summary: | Nephroprotective agents are substances that protect the kidneys from nephrotoxicity. Some nephroprotective agents are derived from medicinal plants. Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) is one of the herbal plants known to have a nephroprotective effect. This study aims to determine the nephroprotective potential of chitosan-based ethanol extract nanoparticles of Andrographis paniculata on the Vero cell line. Andrographis paniculata ethanol extract nanoparticles were prepared using ionic gelation. These nanoparticles exhibited a viability percentage ranging from 97.251% to 107.258% at concentrations of 50-1000 ppm. In the acute protective test, Andrographis paniculata ethanol extract nanoparticles at a chitosan-based concentration of 500 ppm showed a protective ability of 3.26%. In the recovery test, they exhibited a recovery ability ranging from 4.35% to 21.01% at concentrations of 100-500 ppm, and in the chronic protection test, the recovery ability ranged from 5.01% to 14.24% at concentrations of 100-500 ppm. Chitosan-based ethanol extract nanoparticles of Andrographis paniculata are non-toxic and have nephroprotective abilities in both recovery and protection tests. |
