Abstract

Many complex compounds play a role in the physiological process and body metabolism. It is thought that complex compounds can occur naturally in plants. This study aimed to determine the presence of complex compounds in Brotowali (Tinospora crispa). The compound content was analyzed by LCMS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry). Transition metal content was analyzed by XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence). FTIR (Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) and XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) analysis confirmed the existence of complex compounds. The LCMS analysis results showed the existence of betaine, DL-Carnitine, Ferulic acid, Adenosine, Choline, and Berberine. XRF analysis showed that the brotowali samples contained various metals, including Fe, Cu, and Mn. Predictions of complex compounds formed in Brotowali include Fe metal binds to 3 choline molecules, and Fe metal binds to 1 DL-Carnitine molecule. FTIR analysis and XRD analysis showed that the brotowali samples contained complex compounds. The analysis results indicated that the Brotowali naturally contained complex compounds.
