This compound was obtained by isolation that consist of extaction, fractionation, purification, and identification. The identification covers the melting point test, thin layer chromatography and Liebermann-Burchard test. The research results show that the compound is white needle crystal with the malting point 120-122⁰C and positive with Lieberman-Burchard reagens that give blue-green coulor. This compound have not yet been established, because it must be evaluated by spectroscopy methods.
