Abstract
The problem of scarcity of secondary metabolites is an obstacle experienced by researchers from various scientific disciplines such as chemistry, pharmacy, and medicine both from universities (lecturers and students) or from health research and development institutions in Indonesia. The need for secondary metabolites has been purchased from abroad at a very expensive price. Some secondary metabolites are also difficult to find in foreign markets because of the peculiarities of compounds contained by species native to Indonesia. Aiming to overcome the problem of scarcity of standard compounds, the Secondary Metabolite Compound Production Center (SM-CPC) of the University of Mataram provides secondary metabolites of various Indonesian medicinal plants. One of the secondary metabolite compounds is a pinostrobin. The secondary metabolite compounds produced by SM-CPC were obtained through a secondary metabolite isolation procedure consisting of extraction, fractionation, purification, and elucidation of the structure.
