Isolation and Identification of Phenolic Compound Derivatives from Leaves of Jengkol (Archidendron pauciflorum (Benth.) I.C. Nielsen)
Introduction
Phenolic compounds are a crucial group of compounds found in plants, exhibiting various biological activities that can contribute to human health. The jengkol plant (Archidendron pauciflorum (Benth.) I.C. Nielsen) is a potential source of phenolic compounds due to its high content of these compounds, which can be useful in herbal medicine and pharmacological research. This study aims to isolate and identify phenolic compound derivatives from the leaves of the jengkol plant using a combination of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques.
Materials and Methods
The isolation of phenolic compounds from the leaves of the jengkol plant was carried out using the method of maceration extraction with methanol solvents. The process began with dissolving the concentrated methanol extracts with aquadest, followed by separation from ethyl acetate. The concentrated ethyl acetate extract was then processed using methanol and continued with separation using N-HEXANA. The methanol extract was analyzed using thin layer chromatography (TLC) before undergoing column chromatography.
The analysis results showed that the most suitable eluent for separation was a mixture of chloroform and methanol. The column chromatography was carried out with a mixture of chloroform eluent: methanol in various ratios, namely 90:10 and 80:20 (V/V). After the separation, the compound obtained was purified using TLC preparative, producing a brownish yellow amorphous solid with a mass of 21 mg and RF value = 0.73.
Purity Test and Identification of Compounds
The purity test of compounds was carried out again with thin layer chromatography techniques, which showed the formation of a single stain when used Eluent Mixture of Chloroform: Ethyl acetate (50:50 V/V) and Benzene: ethyl acetate (40:60 V/V). The process of identification of compounds followed by spectroscopic analysis using UV-Visible spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), and magnetic resonance spectrometer Proton core (1H-NMR). Spectroscopy analysis showed that the derivative of phenolic compounds that was successfully isolated was methyl error.
Additional Analysis and Explanation
Phenolic compounds are important groups of compounds that are found in plants and have various biological activities. In this study, jengkol leaves were chosen as a source due to high phenolic compound content, which can be useful in herbal medicine and pharmacological research. Methyl Galat, as an isolated compound, is known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can contribute to human health.
The isolation process carried out reflects the importance of the chromatographic method, which is a basic technique in the purification and characterization of chemical compounds. The method of maceration with methanol is chosen because it has efficiency in removing compounds that are soluble in polar solvents, while the stage of separation from chloroform and methanol aims to separate compounds based on polarity.
Discussion
The results of this study show that the jengkol plant is a potential source of phenolic compounds, which can be useful in herbal medicine and pharmacological research. The isolation and identification of phenolic compound derivatives from the leaves of the jengkol plant using a combination of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques provide valuable information on the chemical potential of local plants.
