Zodia is one of the Indonesian indigenous plants from Papua, designated as biopharmaca because of its efficacy in preventing mosquito bites in the human body. The variety of types and levels of these organic compounds found in each organ of the plant zodia is the purpose and benefit of this study. The research was conducted in March to June 2018 at the Chemistry Laboratory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Padjadjaran University and the Biochemistry Laboratory of the Indonesian Education University, both in the city of Bandung. The results showed that zodia plants dominated by benzene compounds were found in root bark (46.42%), stem bark (21.60%), leaves (8.42%), and seeds (7.28%) . Then followed by hexane compounds respectively in the bark organ (3.80%), root bark (2.89%), seeds (3.30%), and leaves (2.27%). The total types of phytochemical compounds contained in the root bark organ (56 species), leaves (23 species), bark (21 types), and seeds (18 species). All types of phytochemicals detected through GCMS chromatography method type GC-2010 and QMS-2010 type GCMS are potential as phytopharmaca if managed appropriately. By knowing the types and levels of phytochemicals found in each organ of zodia, it is expected to open the opportunity for the drug industry to manage phytochemicals to be clinically useful for humans.
