Preparative method to obtain ursolic acid from Clinopodium revolutum

A method to obtain ursolic acid (UA) in an easy, fast, and economical way was proposed, having as raw material the medicinal plant Clinopodium revolutum from Peru. This plant is known and marketed as flor de arena or té indio. The selective recrystallization technique used was efficient due to UA cr...

The purity determined by HPLC is greater than 95%.
