Plants continue to be an important source of new chemical and pharmacophore
structures. The biosynthesis of natural products, also known as secondary metabolites,
is related to the interaction of plants with their environment and with natural selection.
With the objective of carrying out a phytochemical study and isolating some of the
secondary metabolites present in the Canarian endemism Smilax canariensis Willd
(family Smilacaceae), the n-butanol extract (intermediate polarity) was extracted from
fresh leaves and stems, which fractionated using different chromatographic techniques
until finally obtaining the pure products.
The interpretation of the spectroscopic data obtained by the application of different
spectroscopic techniques allowed the structural elucidation of 5 compounds: quercetin- 3-
O-rutinose (rutin) 1, quercetin-3-O-rutinose decaacetate 1a, kaempferol-3-O-rutinose
nonaacetate 2, trans-resveratrol 3 and 1-O-p-coumaroylglycerol triacetate 4.
Finally, it was carried out in a bibliographic study of the biological activities and
therapeutic applications of isolated natural products.
