The calahuala complex are species of the Polypodiaceae family. (Phlebodium pseudoaureum and P.decumanum') commonly used for the treatment of gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiac, renal conditions, rheumatism, diabetes, hypertension, topically used in psoriasis, eczema, ulcers and as a sunscreen.
Pharmacological tests have shown anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity. photoprotective, and stimulator of brain activity.
In the present work, the eromatographic profile of extracts of fronds and rhizomes of P. decumanum and P. pseudoaureum was compared by means of thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high resolution liquid chromatography (HPLC) with the objective of determining phytochemical differences between the species. and propose some molecules that could be used to standardize their extracts.
According to the results obtained in HPLC, it was determined that the extracts of fronds and rhizomes of P. decumanum and P. pseudoauruem present significant phytochemical differences, showing a greater amount of metabolites in the fronds, in which chlorogenic acid was identified in P. decumanum and caffeic acid in P. pseudoauruem. By TLC they are evidenced as metabolites
characteristic, the presence of flavonoids in the fronds and saponins in the rhizomes.
