Abstract
Salix tetrasperma is a willow tree or also known as dedalu commonly found in swampy and moist area in Malaysia. It was used for many medicinal purposes as alternative medicine such as for hepatits, analgesic, aches, fevers, whooping cough, bug bites, scorpion sting, sore, warts, antirheumatic sedative, antibacterial, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory. The aim of this study was to screen and determine the amount of total phytochemical groups in Salix tetrasperma to produce methanol extraction. There are four important natural groups in plant namely alkaloids, tannins, saponins and flavonoids. The result of this study shows that from the qualitative analysis the phytochemical group presences are tannins, flavonoids and saponins while alkaloid was absence. While in quantitative analysis shows that the total amount of natural groups of flavonoid, saponins, tannins and alkaloid were 3.86%, 37.99%, 6.15% and 0.48% respectively. The amount of tannin is the highest among the phytochemical shows that the main phytochemical of Salix tetrasperma is tannin while the alkaloid can be measured in quantitative analysis may due to error during the test or the changes of color in qualitative is not seen because the amount is low. The natural groups detected in the test are important to determine the mechanism of pharmacological effect. So, the significance of the Salix tetrasperma in traditional medicine such as to treat cancer, diabetic, bacterial infection, painkiller, and so on can be related with the presence ofthese natural groups.
