Some studies reported the presence of medicinal chemicals that are deliberately added to <em>Jamu</em>. <em>Jamu</em>that containing medicinal chemicals usually had a faster healing effect compared to <em>Jamu</em> that do not contain medicinal chemicals. <em>Jamu</em> added medicinal chemicals cause serious side effects if it is consumed regularly, overdose, and long period consumption with uncontrolled dosage or its interaction with other substances on <em>jamu</em> formulation.</p> <p><strong>Purpose: </strong>This review article aims to summarize several methods used to analyze medicinal chemicals contained in <em>jamu</em>.</p> <p><strong>Data source:</strong>The author created thisreview article by conducting literature studies. The literature was collected from national and international journals published in the last ten years (2010-2020). The works of literature were collected from trusted online journal sites such as the digital library, Google, Google scholar/Google Cendekia, PubMed, ScienceDirect, NCBI, Researchgate, and other E-resource with the keyword “<em>Jamu</em>”, “medicinal chemicals”, and “analysis of medicinal chemicals”.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong><em>Jamu</em> products that containing medicinal chemicals are <em>jamu pegal linu</em>, weight loss, stamina enhancer, diabetes, antihypertensive and dietary supplements. The medicinal chemicals used are sodium diclofenac, paracetamol, piroxicam, ibuprofen, dexamethasone, mefenamic acid, phenolphthalein, sibutramine, fenfluramine, sildenafil, tadalafil, thiosildenafil, caffeine, ephedrine, nifedipine, glibenclamide. Herbal Medicine was analyzed by the TLC method (thin layer chromatography), Densitometry-chromatography, thin-layer chromatography-Spectrophotometry, SERS-thin layer chromatography, Spectrophotometry, HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), HPLC-ESI-MS/MS (high-performance liquid. chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry), HPLC-Densitometry (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-densitometry), UHPLC-Q-ORTIP HERMS (ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Quadrupole-orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry), UPLC/Q-TOF MS (ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF MS), Capillary electrophoresis (CE), GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), LC-MS (Liquid Crhomatogaph Mass) Spectrometry), Prototype Test-Strip, Infrared spectroscopy.</p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Development}, author={Syahfitr, Sari Anggraini and Asra, Dan Ridho}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={33–46} }
