Abstract

Abstract:The present investigation work was based on the phytochemical study of the specie ; this specie was collected in the Tuncarta community of the canton Saraguro province of Loja. Ethyl Acetate extract were obtained from the aerial parts of the plant. The extract was dechlorophilized in reverse phase using MeOH / Water in 8: 2 mixtures as mobile phase. With the dechlorophilized extract of AcOEt, various spectroscopic elucidation and identification techniques such as NMR and GC-MS were applied to achieve the identification of the compounds, in this way was isolated and identified,a tricyclic diterpene known as carnosol, an oxygenated sesquiterpene called ledol and a mixture of fatty acids that include both octadecenoic acid and hexadecanoic acid.
