Advanced biotechnological of in vitro culture provide alternatives means for producing secondary metabolite of commercially important medicinal plants. Methylripariochromene-A (MRC-A) is an bioactive compound that occurs in Eupatorium riparium Reg. that is categorised as Asteraceae family. It is used to treat hypertension and also indicating antifungal activity against the plant tropical pathogenic fungi and weeds species, having cytotoxic effect on mosquitoes larva and BST assay. This plant therefore can be potentially developed for medical, anticancer, fungicide, bacteriocide, insecticide, pesticide and herbicide. Biotechnological methods of culturing in vitro plant tissues can be used to produce secondary metabolites with short and continuous production cycles. Concentration of bioactive compounds depend on environmental factors and genotype condition. The aims of this research firstly, was to identify MRC-A on the leaf, bark and root of E. riparium, and also to determine MRC-A on wasbensin extract of E. riparium leaves collected from mount Merapi at Kaliurang, Menoreh hill at Samigaluh and Tawangmangu at Karanganyar
