α-Mangostin Content of Mangosteen Leaves (Garcinia mangostana L.) Based on Different Growing Conditions

Environmental factors, such as soil height, plant age, conditions, maintenance, and seeds influence the content of secondary metabolites in an organism. The growing conditions can also affect active compounds plants. Xanthone is compound Garcinia mangostana Linn. One its derivatives α-mangostin, which has antioxidant, anticancer, antituberculosis antihistamine effects. This study aimed to determine effects on levels α-mangosteen mangosteen leaf extract using Thin Layer Chromatography-Densitometry. Standard solution ethyl acetate leaves (A B samples) were analyzed with Camag TLC Scanner 3 silica gel 60 F254 stationary phase chloroform-ethyl mobile (9:1). results showed that Rf values for standard sample A, 0.65, 0.62, respectively. Meanwhile, obtained from samples A 2.10% ± 0.0755 2.07% 0.0321, Different did not level α-mangostin leaves.
