Meniran leaves (Phyllanthus niruri) Phytochemical screeningAbstract
Indonesia is a country with high biodiversity, both on land and sea. One of Indonesia's natural resources is plants. Indonesia is a country that has various types of plants that can be used both as a food source and as medicine. One plant that can be used as medicine is meniran leaves (Phyllanthus niruri). Phytochemical screening tests are important to conduct to obtain information regarding secondary metabolites contained in the extract. In this study, a phytochemical screening test was conducted on the ethanol extract of meniran leaves. This ethanol extract of meniran leaves contains flavonoids, saponins, quinones, phenols, and tannins. Meanwhile, tests for triterpenoid and alkaloid content showed negative results. The ethanol extract of meniran leaves studied was proven to contain several secondary metabolite compounds so that it has a tendency to provide biological activity that can be used in medicine.
