Abstract:
Ethnopharmacological relevance: The potential aphrodisiac activity of mangrove plant in coastal area of Sabah, Rhizophora Mucronata (RM) was evaluated for its natural aphrodisiac potential using animal model from the observation of proboscis monkeys at Labuk Bay and Sukau in Sabah with high sexual activity and a high sex ratio towards the female (sex ratio 1:8.4) and their diet in consuming local plant (mangrove) which is believed to contribute to the high sexual activities. Investigation of aphrodisiac potentials on the crude extract was determined by assessing the sexual potency enhancement. The assessment was done on the sexual desire (mounting behaviour test), sexual motivational (partner preference test), sexual performance test and reproductive hormonal assay Results: Phytochemical screenings showed the presence of flavonoids and saponins believed to be responsible for aphrodisiac properties. Acute oral toxicity of extracts was classified as Category 5 according to the GHS for the classification of chemicals as the LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight. Sexual desire (libido) and motivation are improved by the reduction in mount latency. Whereas sexual performance is enhanced by the reduction of intromission latency. Hormonal serum, Testosterone, LH and FSH level in sexually experienced rats was significantly increased.
