called frangipani is one of Apocynaceae family’s plant. Frangipani is
potentially used as traditional medicine, for example as an antiinflamation
drugs. It has not been yet done an extensive reasearch on the chemical compound
content of frangipani. The reasearch was conducted to investigate some chemical
constituents by using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). Extraction
of chemical compound of frangipani has been conducted by soxhletasi using
n-hexane as solvent followed by chloroform and ethyl acetate. Then chloroform
extract was identified by GC-MS. The result showed that extract of chloroform
contained : palmitic acid, clionasterol, fucosterol, fagarasterol and methyl
