Abstract

This research aimed to identify bioactive compounds in medicinal and aromatic plants in the Meru Betiri National Park area, specifically in the Bandealit area. The sampling of medicinal plants was carried out in June 2023. The samples were analyzed using Solid Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (SPME-GCMS). The results showed that the most abundant compounds were terpenoid groups, especially sesquiterpene. More than 50% of sesquiterpene compounds were detected in 10 medicinal plants in Meru Betiri National Park. Sesquiterpene compounds identified include Germacrene-D found in seven plants and Caryophyllene found in six plants. Sesquiterpene has been shown to have various pharmacological effects such as anticancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, as well as antioxidant. The results of this research can be a reference for exploring the pharmacological effects of each medicinal plant in Meru Betiri National Park.
