Each group consisted of 6 rats prepared, then P1 was given 10% purple leaf extract, P2 was given 15% purple leaf extract, P3 was given 20% purple leaf extract. On the 3rd day, the Wistar rat was sacrificed and continued with the preparation of HPA. Calculation of the number of macrophages was obtained from the One-way ANOVA test. Results: There were significant differences between the control and treatment groups (K with P1, P2, P3), on the results of the One-way ANOVA difference-result test (p <0.05) Conclusion: Purple leaf extract (Graptophyllum pictum (L.)
