Phythochemical and Toxicity of Ethanol extract Sijukkot Leaves (Lactuca IndicaL)

Abstract

Phytochemical screening on Sijukkot which determined as Lactuca indica L, the plants from an area in the village of Parsaora Sibisa Ajibata, Toba Samosir, North Sumatera has been done. Test was carried out to determine the composition of secondary metabolites contained in these plants. It was started by extracting plant leaves using 96% ethanol. Phytochemical test was used to identify compounds from the ethanol extract of sijukkot leaves. The identification results obtained compounds as Flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids and triterpenoids. Furthermore, the toxicity test was carried out using the BSLT method and the results showed LC50: 11.644 ppm, thus the ethanol extract of the leaves had a strong toxicity.
