Abstract

Chromolaena odorata leaves have been used by the people of Aceh Besar as herbal medicine. The chemical compounds in the leaves of this plant act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, antibacterials and wound healers. The research objective was to identify phytochemicsl compounds of C. odorata leaves. The extraction method used is maceration and GC-MS analysis. The results showed that the yield percentage was 6.05%. The results of the analysis of phytochemical compounds obtained seven phytochemical compounds contained in C. odorata, namely compounds belonging to the class of flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, steroids and tannins. GC-MS results of C.odorata leaves have twenty metabolite secondary and divided into four groups (fatty acids and esters, terpenes and terpenoids, alcohols and phenols, steroids). It is recommended to be used this leaves as a natural pharmaceutical agent, particularly in the treatment of wounds. In the future, more research into biological characterization, isolation methods, and commercial studies as therapeutic possibilities should be planned.
