Phytochemical assessments were conducted on the plant part of Tongkat ali (Eurycoma longifolia). The objective of this study was to identify agro-ecological that influence favourably the growth and eurycomanone content of planted Tongkat ali. The samples were collected at throughout Peninsular Malaysia such as from Gua Musang (Kelantan), Jengka (Pahang), Kluang (Johor) and Beseri (Perlis). Traditionally, every part of the plant especially the roots were used as an afterbirth tonic, reducing fevers, curing mouth ulcers and to treat intestinal worms. Organic solvent was used for extraction which followed by fractionation between chloroform and water. The water fraction was fractionated again with n-butanol. Eurycomanone content in n-butanol fraction was analyzed using HPLC. The highest concentration of eurycomanone content in parts of Tongkat ali (TA) were 6.0568 (leaves), 0.1415 (twigs), 0.0365 (top of stems), 0.0633 (middle of stems), 0.0673 (bottom of stems), 0.3533 (roots) and 5.1137 µg/mL (root barks).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
