Abstract
This study is preliminary research of secondary metabolite potential from medicinal Herb Madura. This study aims to know the medicinal plants used in the medicinal herb Madura and the phytochemical content contained in these medicinal plants. The method used in this study is a survey to know the kinds of medicinal plants used in Madura Herb. Then a phytochemical screening test for the medicinal plant was performed. The phytochemical screening test used are alkaloids, steroids, saponins, and flavonoids. Based on the research, it is found that 66 medicinal plants are widely used for "Ramuan Madura” in Bangkalan. Of the 66 plants selected, Madura five medicinal plants widely used by the Madurense; Parameria laevigata, Kaempferia galanga L., Curcuma domestica, Curcuma xanthorrhiza, dan Punica granatum. Then the preliminary phytochemical test to determine the secondary metabolite compounds. Secondary metabolite content obtained include alkaloids, saponins, steroids, and flavonoids.
Highlights
Madura is one of the islands known as Herbal Potions
The Madura potion made by the community consists of two types, (i) the Madurense herb made by the herbal medicine seller (Jamu Gendong) or from the industry and (ii) made by the herbalist (Li, Cai, Liu, Sun, & Luo, 2019)
Madura herbs use raw materials derived from herbal plants
Summary
Madura is one of the islands known as Herbal Potions. The Madura potion made by the community consists of two types, (i) the Madurense herb made by the herbal medicine seller (Jamu Gendong) or from the industry and (ii) made by the herbalist (Li, Cai, Liu, Sun, & Luo, 2019). Madura herbs use raw materials derived from herbal plants. In addition to herbal medicine's raw material, medicinal plants are sources of information about secondary metabolite content, which can further be developed as a drug with an appropriate selectivity test. Correlation lies in between the bioactivity of plants and the Phytoconstituents, which are known to synthesize compounds to specific activities to treat various healths. A preliminary test of phytochemical screening is needed to find and develop alternative materials to improve herbs' efficacy.
