Abstract

For the cancer treatment, the further analysis of anti-cancer plant had been conducted. For natural component related with anti-cancer, phenolic compound as well as sesquiterpenes and flavonoid compound have potential in reducing cancer cells as well have great potential to minimize the cancer level to its safe level. Thus there is the demand on finding an alternative method to treat this chronic disease without utilizing the needs of chemical treatment such as chemotherapy, radiology and many more. Because of this satiation, many plants have been researched thoroughly to find their potential against cancer. For this research, Agar wood and Arabic gum plant has taken for analysis of these properties. By using hydro distillation process, the grounded agar wood and Arabic gum were extracted with the product of these extraction were collected. The hydrosol and condensate of both plant was taken and analysed using GC-MS for determination of compound. The resulting analysis found that there is presence of sesquiterpenes compound such as Caryophyliene, α-Farnesene, α-Vatirenene and αCaryophyllene that have roles in inhibiting the cancer cells inside body. It can be concluded that the condensate and hydrosol of Agar wood and Arabic gum does capable to serve as anti-cancer and can be utilized in medicine and treatment.
