PROCESS TO OBTAIN 6-0-PALMITOYL-3-0-BETA-D-GLUOPYRANOSYL-CAMPESTEROL FROM LOPEZIA

摘要

The present invention describes a process to obtain the compound 6-0-palmitoyl-3-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-campesterol (6-O-PGC) from Lopezia racemosa extracts. The procedure to prepare extracts and fractions from Lopezia racemosa wild plants or in vitro culture with different organic solvents and the use of these extracts as anti-inflammatory agents, is also described. Another objective of the present is to use the biotechnological process in order to enhance the efficiency of the anti-inflammatory active substances and establish an alternative to obtain the vegetal material through Lopezia racemosa micropropagation. This process includes the obtaining of axenic plants by means of direct and indirect morphogenic induction as well as in vitro germination.
