Abstract :

Background: Sea cucumber had been acknowledged to have some medical propertiesSticophus hermanii and Holothuria atra are species of sea cucumber whichhas been known to have antifungal properties thus potentially explored as therapeutic agent in oral candidiasis. Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the antifungal property Sticophus hermanii and Holothuria atra extractagainst Candida albicans and its cytotoxicity to human gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cell.Methods: The study is an experimental laboratories research with post test only control groupdesign.Methanolic extract of Sticophus hermanii and Holothuria atra  in concentrations of 1%, 0.5%; 0.25%; 0.13%, 0.07%; 0.03%, 0.02% and 0.01%; were tested its cytotoxicity on gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cell. Cell viability were measured  by MTT assay. The antifungal property against Candida albicanswas tested by disk diffusion method.Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by LSD.Results: Extract of Sticophus hermanii showed no cytotoxicity in all concentrations (p>0.05), while Holothuria atra showed toxicity in the concentration of 1% and not cytotoxic in the concentrations below (p<0.05). Both sea cucumber extract could inhibit the growth Candida albicans, in vitro, proved by the clear zone around the disc in all concentrations (p<0.05). Conclusion: Stichopushermaniiand Holothuria atra extract had the antifungal effect against Candida albicans. Sea cucumber extract were not cytotoxic togingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cell in the concentration of Sticophus hermanii≤1% andHolothuria atra≤0.5%.   Keywords:
