Aislamiento y caracterización de principios activos del extracto en etanol de las hojas de Croton chimboracensis P.E. Berry & Riina.

Abstract

Abstract: In this study, the active principles of Croton chimboracensis were characterized. The plant was collected in the El Tambo sector via Malacatos at the geographic coordinates 4°05'30.8"S - 79°13'37.7"W. The plant material was dried at 35°C for three days, then its ethanolic extract was obtained, and liquid-liquid partitioning was performed using dichloromethane and methanol-water as solvents. This resulted in the identification of 11 volatile secondary metabolites, which were then identified using GC-MS chromatography. Among the identified compounds were alkaloids, esters, fatty acids, and others, each with different reported biological activity.
