Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the secondary metabolites present in the leaf extract of Justina gendarussa Burm. F. locally known as Panhauli. These metabolites include alkaloids, anthraquinones, leucoanthocyanin, phenolic compound, saponin, steroid, tannin, and terpenoids. Results of the study showed that there was a 30 of extract yielded for every 100 grams of plant leaf. Physical properties of the extract of Panhauli leaves showed that it has a 103. 3oC boiling point, brown color and a pleasant odor, its density was 1.02g mL and a neutral pH. Further physical test showed it is miscible in methanol and water, and immiscible in chloroform and dichloromethane which signifies that the Panhauli leaves extracts has a polar components. Finally phytochemical tests of the Panhauli extract showed the confirmed positive results in alkaloid and saponin only, other secondary metabolites mentioned here in this study were deemed negative.
