Abstract

In order to carry out this investigation, secondary metabolites were isolated and characterized from the leaves of the Roupala montana Aubl. species, by means of spectroscopic techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Three compounds known as Kaur-16-ene, linolenic acid and alpha tocopherol were identified from the Hexane extract. In addition, essential oil of the dried plant was obtained by steam distillation, and its compounds were identified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography coupled to the flame ionization detector ( CG-FID). A total of 15 compounds were identified, the majority being: kaur-16-ene (77.2%), Kaur-15-ene (4.1%), Phytol (3.45%), Nerolidol <(E ) -> (2.22%), and Farnesyl acetone <(5E, 9E) -> (1.2%).
