Identification on chemical organic compounds of Macaranga hypoleuca by using Py-GCMS
Abstract Organic chemical compounds of Macaranga spp. have been identified and their bioactive potential have been explored, but Macaranga hypoleuca information was limited. M. hypoleuca includes fast growing and pioneer’s species in secondary forest successions. Limited utilization of M. hypoleuca make this species classified into less well-known species. Present study was conducted to identify the chemical compounds of M. hypoleuca by using Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (Py-GCMS QP2010). Samples were originated from stem, bark, sap and leaves of M. hypoleuca. This study was able to identify the compounds of dibromo chloropropane, methoxy 2-propenal, ammonium carbamate, levoglucosan, teraxeron, n-tetra terakseron, hydroxy-2-propenal, carbinol and pentanoic acid as the dominant organic compounds in M. hypoleuca. Further research is needed to isolate and biological activity.
