Abstract
Background: Orthosiphon aristatus has been usually related to be powerful in curing many illnesses inclusive of post-partum remedy, anti-influence, rheumatism and stopping osteoporosis as a result of menopause. Objectives: Thus, this study was designed to differentiate the toxicity effect of non-irradiated and irradiated Orthosiphon aristatus at different dosage of 3, 6, 9 and 12 kilogray (kGy) on zebrafish embryo. Method: Survival rate, hatching rate, heart beat rate and scoliosis were observed and date were analysed using SPSS 25.00 windows. Result: The lethal dose (LC50) of non-irradiated Orthosiphon aristatus is 381.81 μg/mL compare to irradiated extract at 3 % is (371.27 μg/mL), 6 % (311.03 μg/mL), 9 % (160.72 μg/mL) and 12 % (140.18 μg/mL). Hatchability of zebrafish embryo for Orthosiphon aristatus extract decrease in the higher dosage of irradiated sample compared to non-irradiated sample. No presence of scoliosis was observed in all dosage of irradiated and non-irradiated of Orthosiphon aristatus. The heartbeat of zebrafish embryo treated with irradiated Orthosiphon aristatus specifically 12 % show decrease at 250 μg/mL concentration. Remaining dosage of irradiated and non-irradiated Orthosiphon aristatus show average heartbeat around 120 - 160 bpm. Conclusion: As conclusion, irradiated and non-irradiated of Orthosiphon aristatus is safe to be consumed due to its pharmaceutical effect but it still exhibited mild toxicity effect on zebrafish embryo. 
 HIGHLIGHTS
 
 Herbal medicine (Orthosiphon aristatus) is widely used for treatment as alternative medicine
 This Orthosiphon aristatus easy can be contaminated by bacteria and fungus. Gamma ray is helpful to eliminated the bacteria and fungus
 Irradiated Orthosiphon aristatus can be toxic due to the exposure in Gamma ray
 Toxicity study using zebra fish show no changes in toxicity of Orthosiphon aristatus
