Abstract:

To obtain chemical components from the flowers and leaves of Mirabilis jalapa, the methods of water extraction, ethanol extraction and petroleum ether extraction were used. There are amino acid, carbohydrate, lactone, organic acid, phenol and volatile oil in the water extracts of flowers. Phenol, cardiac, coumarin and flavonoid are obtained from the ethanol extracts of flowers. The petroleum extracts of flowers contain lactone. Also, there are amino acid, organic acid and phenol in the water extracts of leaves. Flavonoid, phenol, coumarin, phenol, cardiac and anthraquinone are obtained from the ethanol extracts of leaves. The petroleum extracts of leaves contain steroid and terpenoid.

Key words: Mirabilis jalapa, extraction, flavonoid
