ABSTRACT

Introduction: Anredera vesicaria is a plant very used in the East of Cuba to treat inflammations provoked by blows and fractures, however, data of the chemical composition that justify its use as antiinflamatory don't exist.
Objective: To Identify secondary metabolites with medicinal interest in the sheets, stems and rhizomes from Anredera vesicaria.
Methods: To the recollected biomass was applied a process of washing, disinfection, drying and pulverization. A sample was identified and consigned in the Catasús series, with number 2601. Aerial and subterranean samples submitted extractions with water and ethanol themselves using ultrasound. To the extracts were carried out the phytochemical screening whose results were corroborated by thin layer chromatography and ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy.
Results: Carbohydrates, phenols, flavonoids, coumarins, alkaloids, triterpenes, mucilages and saponines were identified. In the ethanolic extract from leaves it was found the biggest diversity of secondary metabolites, however, in the rhizomes there are bigger abundance of phenols, steroids and mucilages. Starting from rhizomes was isolate an amorphous white solid which was identified as oleanolic acid.
Conclusions: The abundance of triterpenes and mucilages in Anredera vesicaria could to contribute with their anti-inflamatory activity.
