Introduction of papaya leaves has many benefits, among others, for the treatment of cancer, lactation,

digestive problems and dengue fever (Ōtsuki et al. 2010). Herbal tea from the leaves of papaya can
increase platelet in the patients of dengue (Kala 2012). Conatins a variety of components such as the
bioaktif alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and steroids (Somayaji
2016). The results of the screening there is papaya leaf extract phytochemical compounds, polifenolat
alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, monoterpen and sesquiterpen (Tjitraresmi et al 2016.). Flavonoids from
the leaves of the papaya extract is a staple item of the main bioaktif from the leaves of the papaya. The
presence of flavonoids in extracts of papaya leaves reaches 0.23% of the results of the flavonoids
isolated from papaya leaf (Musa 2015). Bioaktif components of flavonoids in extracts of the leaves of the
papaya ascertained have been quite diabsorpsi and reach the systemic circulation (Sihabuddin et al.
2011).

Then with or without diekskresi, the drug biotransformation processes from within the body. The entire
process is called pharmacokinetics process and running simultaneously. Pharmacokinetics of the drug
from the drug product is helpful to understand the relationship between physical properties of
fisikokimia of medicinal products and the effects of clinical pharmacology term or effect (Shargel 2012 et
al.). Physiological pharmacokinetics of compound bioaktif in drugs can explain the properties of
absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of these compounds in a specific organ or
tissue in the body. Pharmacokinetics parameters through discussing about the correlation of drug in
plasma levels over time in the body, so that may explain the presence of a number of drug in the body at
any given time. Pharmacokinetics parameter describes the effectiveness of the drug can be used to
describe how long the period of effective drug in the body (Wijayanti et al. 2010).

Utilization of papaya leaves as a herbal remedy requires data security, effectiveness, bioavailabilitas and
stability of compound herbal medicine of the bioaktif in the body, through the plasma or serum. Herbal
remedy in question must meet the requirements of quality kefarmasian. Papaya leaf extract as a model
in drug discovery clinical trials must meet the requirements for strengthening data and information in
the framework of industrial development medicinal herbs. Data about the safety and effectiveness of
drugs needed to be consumed by humans, then it should be farmakokinetikanya profiles, studied
include simply applied in blood profiles, patterns of distribution and excretion after administering the
extract of papaya leaves in animals test mice.

Drug kinetics data in the body is very important to determine the relationship between the levels of the
drug in the body at the speed of absorption. Data on drug absorption in the plasma can be used as a
developmental profile of drug levels in the body. Based on the background above, need to do more
research about the levels of flavonoids pharmacokinetics profile of papaya leaf extract is needed in the
development of drugs, particularly the utilization of papaya leaf extract as a medicinal herb.

RESEARCH METHOD of animal research is trying to use the white rats wistar strain male healthy adults
(age 2-3 months) and average weight 215.36 grams. Fourteen rats were divided into 7 groups for blood
sampling in each time series with two times of Deuteronomy (duplo). Mice derived from the Biology lab,
ENGINEERING UNNES. Each rat was used only once per mice or time series in the experiment. Rat
diaklimatisasi (5 days) and after that dipuasakan mice for 12 hours with only water given ad libitum (The
2013 et al.).

Sampling blood Plasma of rats single Doses of papaya leaf extract (900 mg dissolved in 2 mL of aquades)
was given orally. Blood samples were taken as much as 1.5 mL of blood at the time of the series that is
30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours after the giving of the papaya leaf
extract. Blood samples are placed in EDTA containing microtube. A blood sample at a speed of 3000 rpm
disentrifuse for 5 minutes (4oC). Blood plasma was taken and stored in the freezer with a temperature
of 20 ° C until testing time (Kanimozi 2016).

Testing the levels of Flavonoids in Extracts of papaya leaves and Plasma content of flavonoids in the
analysis using HPLC-UV VIS C-18 column (150 mm 4.6 mm, 40s pore size 5 µm). Phases of motion that is
used consists of eluen A 27% acetonitrile (solvent A) and eluen B 73% i.e. methanol: acetic acid: water

Pharmacokinetics describes the parameters of the discussion of the effectiveness of the substance can
be used to describe how long the period of effective substances in the body (Wijayanti et al. 2010).
Plasma pharmacokinetics data flavonoids as the implications for the determination of the frequency of
dispensing on the subject of research. This research is useful as a reference in future research to
application in humans. Further research needs to be done about the pharmacokinetics profile of the
levels of flavonoids from the leaf extract of papaya that is needed in the development of drugs,
particularly the utilization of papaya leaf extract as a medicinal herb.

Whole extract of papaya leaf extract contains compounds still widely bioaktif in addition to flavonoids,
so to process biotransformation in the liver is very slow. Based on the research of Patil et al. (2014)
component in the papaya leaf extract potential as antioxidants include tocopherol, lycopene, quercetin
glycosides, and benzylthiocyanate. Qualitative phytochemical screening to extract papaya leaves contain
flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, saponins and tannins (Begum 2014). Flavonoids contained in the
extract of papaya leaves included a flavonol that is routine. Preliminary trials have been done with the
standard routine. Both standard included a flavonol. Flavonoids was detected in the sample of papaya
leaf extract is routine. According to Gregory (2011), the routine is a form of quercetin glycosides
(quercetin glycosides).
