| Summary: | For the cancer treatment, the further analysis of anticancer plant had been conducted. For natural component related with anticancer, phenolic compound as well as sesquiterpenes and flavonoid compound have potential in reducing cancer cells. For anti-oxidant, alkaloid is one of natural component that have potential in that aspect. Agar wood and Arabic gum plant has taken for analysis of these properties. By using hydro distillation process, the grounded agar wood and Arabic gum were extracted with the product of these extraction were collected, which is essential oil, condensate and hydrosol. The hydrosol and condensate of both plant was taken and analyzed using GC-MS for determination of compound. The resulting analysis found that there is presence of sesquiterpenes compound such as Caryophyliene, α-Farnesene, α-Vatirenene and α-Caryophyllene. It can be concluded that the condensate and hydrosol of Agar wood and Arabic gum does capable to serve as anti-cancer and anti-oxidant for medicinal approach. |
