The objective of this work was to the analyze IL-37 expression following administration of miana leaf extract (MLE) in an animal model of vulvovaginal candidiasis. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Adult Balb/c mice, aged 8&amp;ndash;12 weeks and weighing 30&amp;ndash;40 g, were divided into five groups. Four groups were administered &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans&lt;/em&gt; via intravaginal inoculation with a diluted dose of 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;/ ml and were treated with either MLE, a placebo, or ketoconazole; one group constituted the healthy control and was only treated with MLE. Real-time PCR was used to measure the expression of IL-37. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; These findings indicated that a component within MLE may mediate its anti-inflammatory characteristics, as indicated by the increase in mRNA IL-37 expression in mice inoculated with &lt;em&gt;C. albicans&lt;/em&gt;. The highest increase in fungal load to 101.6 CFU was observed in the placebo group at day 14. Whereas for the mice treated with MLE at 750 mg/kg b.w, the fungal load only increased to 30.0 CFU, similar to that of mice treated with ketoconazole (29.6 CFU). In the mice treated with MLE at 500 mg/kg b.w, the fungal load increased to 68.2 CFU. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Fungiostatic effect of MLE 750 mg/kg BB is not less than ketoconazole and MLE may act as anti-inflammatory throught its role as an antioxidant so it could potentially be used as an alternative treatment in humans especially patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marni Karo&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Mochammad Hatta&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;*, WaOde Salma&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Ilhamjaya Patellongi&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, Rosdiana Natzir&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
