Identifikasi Senyawa Terpenoid dan Steroid pada Beberapa Tanaman Menggunakan Pelarut N-Heksan

Abstract

Hexane is a hydrocarbon compound of alkanes with the chemical formula C6H14. The prefix hex refers to the six carbon atoms found in the hexane and the suffix ana is derived from the word alkane which refers to the single bond connecting the carbon atoms. Identification of terpenoid compounds and steroids has been identified in several plants, namely Red Shoots (Syzygium myrtifolium Walp.), Salam (Syzygium polyanthum), bilaran Tapah (Argyreia nervosa (Burm. F.), Blind (Excoecaria agallocha L.), as well as on the lotion preparations Citrus hystrix DC. This study was conducted to determine the content of terpenoid compounds and steroids found in some parts of plants using n-hexane solvents. Research used is qualitative research with Lieberman Burchard method. Review this article using a method of literature study by searching sources and literature with data form in the form of national journals to international journals about the last 10 years (2012-2021). Identification is carried out on extracts, fractions, isolates and lotion preparations using liquid vacuum chromatography, column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and Lieberman-Burchard reagents. The results showed that all of the samples were positive for terpenoid compounds and steroids using n-hexane solvents.

Phytochemical Screening of Coconut Pistil Extract (Pistillum Cocos nucifera) as Traditional Medicine

“…Terpenoids and steroids are compounds derived from dehydrogenation and oxygenation of terpene compounds that act as bioactive and resistant to parasite and insect attacks (Feransiska et al, 2021). Terpenoid and steroid compounds were tested using Liebermann-burchard reagent.…”

Uji Aktivitas Antibakteri Fraksi N-Heksana Ekstrak Etanol 96% Daun Pare (Momordica charantia L.) Terhadap Bakteri Staphylococcus epidermidis

“…Pada penelitian Annisa et al, (2017) menunjukkan Fraksi n-heksana daun pare dilaporkan mengandung triterpenoid turunan terpenoid yang memiliki mekanisme yang bekerja pada protein trans membran luar dinding sel bakteri (Rini et al, 2017). Karena molekul terpenoid bersifat non-polar dan semipolar, diperkirakan bahwa ekstraksi dengan etanol 96% (semi-polar) dan fraksinasi dengan n-heksana (non-polar) akan menghasilkan lebih banyak bahan kimia terpenoid daripada pelarut lainnya (Fransiska et al, 2021).…”

Potential of Red Algae Eucheuma spinosum as Antibacterial to Pseudomonas aeruginosa

“…The inhibitory activity against bacterial growth increases with the concentration extract. 7 Cultivation is carried out in places where the current conditions are relatively calm so that productivity can be increased. Based on the background above, this research aims to determine the inhibitory power of the red algae Eucheuma spinosum extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.…”
