Isolation Of Bioactive Compounds From Dicranaceae Mosses

Abstract

Dicranoloma reflexumand Dicranella coarctataare mosses from Dicranaceaefamily. This study was purposed to identify bioactive compounds contained fromboth species. Dicranoloma reflexumand Dicranella coarctatacollected form Cangarforest, Batu, East Java. Mosses was rinsed, dried and crushed into powder. Extraction was performed using maceration method with n-hexane, acetic acid, and methanol solvent. Compounds obtained then identified using Gass Chromatography Mass Spectra. Result showed that n-hexane, acetic ethyl, and methanol extract of Dicranoloma reflexumcontained 61,16, and 58 compounds respectively. Main component of each extract was 1-octadecene, phenol, and 9-octadecanoic acid. N-hexane, acetic ethyl, and methanol extract of Dicranella coarctatacontained 5,38, and 23 compounds respectively. Main component of each extract was thiosulphuric acid, E-15 heptedecenal,andn-hexadecanoic acid
