Kurkumin merupakan senyawa aktif utama dari tanaman Curcuma longa yang memiliki berbagai aktivitas biologis, termasuk antioksidan, antiinflamasi, dan imunomodulator. Beberapa tahun terakhir, penelitian mulai mengeksplorasi potensi kurkumin sebagai agen kontrasepsi alami melalui pengaruhnya terhadap sistem reproduksi, khususnya pada model hewan tikus betina. Literatur review ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hasil-hasil penelitian terbaru (2023–2025) yang mengevaluasi efek kurkumin terhadap reproduksi tikus betina. Menggunakan alur PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), yang berbasis data utama pada ScienceDirect, PubMed, dan Springer untuk periode 2023–2025. Kata kunci yang digunakan meliputi: "curcumin" OR "contraceptive" OR "female rats" OR "reproductive toxicity curcumin" OR "ovarian histology curcumin". Dengan kriteria inkulusi penelitian eksperimental in vivo menggunakan tikus betina, dosis kurkumin, durasi perlakuan, mengukur minimal satu dari parameter kadar hormon reproduksi (FSH, LH, estrogen, progesteron)/jumlah atau perkembangan folikel ovarium/histologi ovarium/siklus estrus. Berdasarkan hasil tinjauan pustaka, kurkumin menunjukkan potensi menurunkan kadar hormon estrogen, FSH, dan LH, serta mengganggu maturasi folikel ovarium melalui mekanisme stres oksidatif. Data masih terbatas dan cenderung beragam tergantung dosis dan lama paparan. Dengan demikian, diperlukan penelitian lanjutan untuk memastikan keamanan dan efektivitas kurkumin sebagai kandidat kontrasepsi herbal.References
