ABSTRACT: Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum Linn) or known also as "kemangi" in Indonesia is a plant commonly used as a herb in Asian countries. It is also medicinal with antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and neuroprotective properties. This dataset article provides broad screening of the phytochemical component of Ocimum sanctum ethanolic extract (EEOS) as well as a secondary metabolite profile of EEOS. Analyses were done qualitatively and quantitatively using a combination of spectrophotometer, thin layer chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). Results showed that Ocimum sanctum ethanolic extract contains phytochemical compounds, including flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, steroids, and terpenoids. In addition, a secondary metabolite was found and classified into metabolite groups including alcohol, amine, carboxylic acid, alkane, alkene, aldehyde, phenol, ether, sulfur, halogen, benzene, nitrogen, sterol, amino acid, carbohydrate, and nitrogen.
