The nano simplicia powder was analysed by LIPI (Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia) using particle size analyser. The sample identification was carried out by the Bogorinese Herbarium Division of the Biology Research Center-LIPI Bogor. pinnata leaves were cleaned and dried, then crushed to obtain micro simplicia and nano simplisia powder. Those chemicals and solvents used were analytical grade and are commercially available from Merck.
pinnata leaves, calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium standard solution and another reagent. The materials used in this research were R. As well as the inorganic content was the finite macro minerals analysis using atomic absorption spectrophotometry methods. The organic content was analysed by phytochemical screening and thin-layer chromatography technique. This is the first study to analyse the organic and inorganic content in R. In recent times, the boundary between inorganic and organic has become clearer because many inorganic compounds contain organic ligands, and many organic compounds contain metal. Others, such as cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc, are known as ‘trace elements’, with dietary requirements that are much lower than bulk elements however, they are no less inseparable for human life. Indeed, these four cations constitute nearly 99% of the metal ion content of the human body. Many of them are metals: such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, present in considerable concentrations, and are known as ‘bulk elements’. There are more than 20 elements needed by the body, and one of the biggest sources is from plants. pinnata plants contain active substances from alkaloid compounds, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and triterpenoids/steroids.
pinnata plants as diuretic agent, anticancer and antibacterial. The leaves have been used as traditional anticancer in Singapore. This plant is a vine, round stems have sticky roots and hanging roots. Rhaphidophora pinnata (L.f.) Schott is one of the Indonesian plants, has known as a medicinal plant. Based on hereditary experience, the use of herbal plants is considered effective enough to treat various kinds of diseases.
