Abstract:
Quassia lndica is from Simaroubaceae family. The purpose of this study is to
isolate and determine the chemical constituents from Quassia indica. Petroleum
ether, chloroform and methanol were used in extraction processes. However, only
chloroform extract was isolated and further purified. The preliminary tests, which
were alkaloid test and cardiac glycoside test that performed to CEOC showed
positive results. In this study, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column
chromatography (CC) were used for isolation and purification ofCEOC. According
to the chromatograms of GC-FID, two fractions were successfully purified and
labeled as C3CE 3 and C3CE 25. The fractionates were characterized and identified
using spectroscopic methods, which were Ultra Violet-Visible (UV-Vis)
Spectroscopy, Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography-Mass
Spectrometry (GC-MS). The suggested compound for C3CE 3 and C3CE 25 were
benzoic acid derivative and phenolic derivative compound respectively.
