Pengaruh Jenis Pelarut Pengektraksi Terhadap Kadar Sinensetin Dalam Ekstrak Daun Orthosiphon stamineus Benth.

ABSTRACT: Orthosiphon  stamineus  Benth.  is  a  medicinal  plant  which  grown  in  Southest  Asia  and  cultivated  in Indonesia. The leaves of this plant are used by name of “kumis kucing” in  traditional  medicine  as  a diuretics,  rheumatisme,  urinary  tract  infection,  kronic  and  acute  kidney  infection  and  billiary  lithiasis. This  study  was  aimed  to  determinate    the  content  of  sinensetin  on  varying  hidroalcoholic  eluent  (96%, 70%,  50%  ethanol  and  water).  Analitytical  method  for  the  determination  of  sinensetin  using  by  a  thin layer  chromatography-densitometry  method.  TLC  densitometry  quantification  is  performed  by  external standard on silica gel plates GF 254. Selectivity tested results that using chloroform-etyl acetate (15:1) as developing  solvent  and  UV  detection  at  338  nm  (top  peak),  showed  a  component  of  sinensetin  (Rfstd  = 0,39;  Rf  sampel=0,38)  and  an  identic  spectra  (MF  =  0,99817).  The  %yield  of  sinensetin  in  extract  from Orthosiphon  stamineus  Benth.  leaves  on  each  eluen  were  1,9%  ;  1,3%;  1,1%  and  0,3%  (ethanol  96%, 70%, 50% and water ) respectively. The highest consentration of sinensetin was in ethanol 96%. From the present study, it may be concluded that ethanol 96% is the best eluent for manufacture of herbal medicine from Orthosiphonis folium.
