Abstract: Deer antler velvet (DAV); obtained from the male deer, is commonly used in traditional Asian medicine, has been valued for centuries for its various health benefits. DAV extract contains bioactive compounds, including growth hormones, minerals, and amino acids. This data reveals the presence of small molecules detected in the DAV extracts obtained from the antler of the local male Malayan deer ( Cervus timorensis ). Three types of extracts were prepared; water (WE), 70% ethanol (70% EE) and absolute ethanolic extracts (AEE). All extracts were analyzed using the Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry with Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (LC-MS/MS-QTOF), operated in negative and positive ion mode. The data shows the presence of 5 small molecule compounds from DAV water extract (WE), 23 compounds from 70% ethanolic extract (70% EE) and 14 compounds from the absolute ethanolic extract (AEE). Data regarding the detection of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) from these extracts was also presented where higher concentration of IGF-1 was present in DAV water extract compared to ethanolic extracts when analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. As a conclusion, the data obtained from the current analysis potentially could be used as reference; with limitation, for future biochemical or metabolomics research dealing with DAV extract.
