DETEKSI SENYAWA BIOAKTIF AURI (Acacia Auriculiformis Cunn. ex Benth.) BERDASARKAN BAGIAN POHON MENGGUNAKAN KROMATOGRAFI LAPIS TIPIS (KLT)

Abstract: Plants have been the chief source of compounds of medicine for thousand of years. Plants are also the source of many medicines for the majority of the world’s population.Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is the simplest and cheapest method of detecting plant constituents because the method is easy to run, reproducible and requires little equipment. The distance traveled by the pigment is characteristic for a specific set of conditions and this distance may be used to identify the compound.  Previous study, we successfully isolated bioactive compound toward Ganoderma philippii from heartwood of Auri. In this study, we try to detect that bioactive compound (called as standard) from another part of tree.  All of part of Auri (Acacia auriculiformis Cunn. ex Benth.) was maserated by n-hexane and followed by methanol, overnight.  Each methanol extract was detected by TLC.  Based on its distance travelled, we compared it with standard (previously study).  Only heartwood have bioactive compound as same as standard.  Therefore, we conclude this bioactive compound could isolated from heartwood only.
Key words: bioactive compound, TLC, part of tree, heartwood
