SECONDARY METABOLITES PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF nHEXANE, ETHYL ACETATE AND ETHANOL EXTRACTS OF SARANG BANUA (Clerodendrum fragrans Vent Wild) LEAVES

Sarang banua plant (Clerodendrum fragransVent Willd), the Verbanaceae family is found in village Raya Usang, Simalungun district of Indonesia, traditionally used as medicinal plant. Secondary metabolite research from C. fragrans local plant extract aims to develop its potential as a drug ingredient. The result of phytochemical analysis showed that in the n-hexane extract of C. fragrans leaf there are secondary metabolites alkaloid, steroid and flavonoid. In the ethyl acetate extract there are alkaloids, steroids, saponins and tannins. In ethanol extracts there are alkaloids, triterpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and quinones. The yield of n-hexane extract, ethyl acetate and ethanol of C. fragransVent Wiild were 3.82%; 10.63% and 15.42%(ww).
