Abstract
Bintangur (Callophylum soulatri) is one type of Family Callophylleae which is widely found in the forests of Borneo. This research attempts to identify the traditional using of Bintangur plant as a medicinal material and get the result of phytochemical compound from Bintangur leaf extract. Identification of the use of Bintangur plants is done using semi-structured interview techniques and literature review. The phytochemical compound preliminary test is carried out qualitatively by color change detection. Bintangur leaves can eliminate the disease vertigo (dizziness) and migraine. The dominant phytochemical compounds are flavonoids, steroid, and tannin. Phytochemical compounds that also dominant are phenol hydrocarbons and saponins. The alkaloid compound is not present in Bintangur leaves. The identification of phytochemical compounds from Bintangur leaf identifies the potential utilization of phytochemical compounds for various medicinal goals. The detection of steroid compounds with high concentrations indicates that Bintangur leaf has the potential to be used as a medicinal material to relieve chronic fatigue and pain. The presence of phenol compounds such as flavonoids, phenol hydrocarbons, and tannins indicates that the Bintangur leaf has bioactivity as antioxidants, antibacterials and anticancer.

Summary
Bintangur (Callophylum soulatri) is one type of Family Callophylleae which is widely found in the forests of Borneo. Penelitian tentang pemanfaatan daun Bintangur yang berasal dari hutan kerangas masih relatif terbatas, sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian tentang pemanfaatan dan senyawa fitokimia yang terdapat dalam tumbuhan Bintangur. Penelitian ini berupaya melakukan identifikasi pemanfaatan secara tradisional tanaman Bintangur sebagai bahan pengobatan dan mendapatkan hasil penapisan senyawa fitokimia dari daun Bintangur yang spesimenya diambil dari hutan kerangas, serta menganalisis kandungan fitokimia tersebut dalam hubungan dengan pemanfaatan tradisional yang selama ini telah dilakukan.
