Analisis In Silico dan Kuantitatif Senyawa Metabolit Sekunder Senyawa L-DOPA Pada Ekstrak Biji Dan Daun Kacang Koro Benguk (Mucuna pruriens D.C.) menggunakan metode Spektrometri UV-VIS

Abstract

Koro Benguk (Mucuna pruriens D.C.) is a plant that produces medicinal ingredients containing secondary metabolites, one of which is L-DOPA. This compound can be used to treat nervous disorders, treat snake venom, increase body weight and muscle strength, and as an anthelmintic in humans. This study aims to analyze the Benguk Koro Bean (Mucuna pruriens D.C.) In Silico and detect the presence of L-DOPA compounds in the Benguk Koro Bean (Mucuna pruriens D.C.) species using UV-VIS Spectrometry. The methods used are the description method and the data processed descriptively qualitatively. The results showed that in In Silico analysis it was found that the Benguk Koro Bean (Mucuna pruriens D.C.) species in the seeds and leaves contained L-DOPA compounds and had a C9H11NO4 molecular structure, while for the detection of L-DOPA compounds using UV-VIS spectrometry it was detected that Koro Benguk Bean (Mucuna pruriens D.C.) contains L-DOPA with a wavelength of 462 nm with absorbance in seeds and leaves of 2,210 and 1,171, respectively. The conclusion of this study is that with 20 grams of koro benguk seeds it produces 1.105 ppm, while for 2 grams of koro benguk leaves it produces 0.5855 ppm.
