Aislamiento e identificación de metabolitos secundarios de la especie Drimys granadensis L.f

Abstract

Abstract: Drimys granadensis L.f is the most representative species of the Wintaraceae family and is characterized by having a strong aroma and spicy flavor in its leaves which are used in alternative medicine as a diuretic and even to combat stomach pain. The plant is known to contain compounds such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, saponins, sapogenins. The phytochemical study of the leaves was carried out using methanolic extraction, identification by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and by bibliographic comparison. A glycosylated flavonoid known as Quercetrin was isolated.
