Abstract

Mangrove plants have been reported as resources of many traditional folk of medicine and contain several kinds of trace elements which are being used to treat diseases. The aim of this study was to analyzed the phytochemical compounds of mangrove leaves. Our previous studies showed that the extract of mangrove leaves tend to be polar. The acetone and methanol extract of the mangrove leaves had high anti termite and antifungal activity. Based on this information, phytochemical content of mangrove leaves have been analyzed to find out the chemical substances that responsible for the bioactivity properties. FolinCiocalteu method was used to quantify the total phenolic content using a calibration curve of gallic acid, while for phytochemical were analyzed using spectrofotometric method. The results showed that the acetone extract of mangrove leaves containing alkaloid, polyphenolic, flavonoid, and total tannin higher than the methanol extract. This data will be further analyzed to obtain the compounds that may responsible for the biological performance of mangrove leaves.
