Abstract:
Sungkai (Peronema canescens Jack.) belongs to the Lamiaceae family which has
various active compounds function as antipyretic to antioxidant so it is widely
used as medicine. Sungkai samples were taken from three locations in Riau
Province, namely Kuantan Singingi, Pekanbaru and Siak. The purpose of this
study was to characterize and determine the types of phytochemical compounds
contained in sungkai plants and to differentiate sungkai from three locations in
Riau Province using the LC-MS method. Sampling was carried out using a survey
method. Samples were analyzed using the LC-MS system. Chromatogram was
analyzed using the MassLynx program to obtain the compounds contained in the
sample. Determination of compound names was based on the Chemspider
database and compound groups based on PubChem. Grouping of the three origins
of Sungkai was carried out using the NTSYSpc2.02 program. There were 296
metabolite compounds which were used for grouping sungkai from trhee regions.
Results showed that ekstract leaf sungkai from three locations contain compounds
belonging to the class of flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, amino acids, aromatic
compounds, sesquiterpenoids, carboxylic acids, essential oils, medium-chain fatty
acids and nucleic acid. Three sungkai from three locations were divided into two
groups with similarity coefficient values ranging from 31% -48. Group I is from
Kuantan Singingi and group II is from Pekanbaru and Siak. The metabolites
found in this study are expected to be useful as basic data in the field of
phytopharmaca and medicine.
