Karakterisasi Tiga Tumbuhan Obat Antihiperkolesterolemia dengan Pendekatan Berbasis Profil Anatomi, Histokimia, dan Fitokimia

It is very important to validate the characterization of medicinal plants ensure their use, especially if are be used only for certain organs. This study aimed obtain information related type secretory structure and secondary metabolites they accumulated, as well phytochemical profile three antihypercholesterolemic plants. organs (leaves, stem bark, roots) from Moringa oleifera, Muntingia calabura, Annona muricata with anatomical, histochemical, methods. Anatomical histochemical tests were carried out by observing fresh sample incision see presence structures (secretory cavities, glandular trichomes, idioblast cells). Histochemical on using specific reagents determine producing/accumulating (alkaloids, phenolics, lipophilic, terpenoids), while identify thin layer chromatographic technique (qualitative). The results showed that contained several structures, namely: cells, identified containing alkaloids, terpenoids. finding supported extracts species. Techniques based profiles can applied plant
