Description
Summary:<p><em>Artemisia sodiroi</em> Hieron (Asteraceae), commonly known as &ldquo;Ajenjo&rdquo;, is used in traditional medicine in Southern Ecuador for the treatment of inflammations, stomachaches, hepatic pains, fever, kidney problems, headaches, cough and by women to regulate their menstrual cycle. In this paper we report a phytochemical screening of the aerial parts of <em>A. sodiroi</em>, which led the identification of five known secondary metabolites, 24-methylenecicloartanol, stigmasterol, sitosterol, sabinyl acetate, and methyl-L-inositol, their structure were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including GC/MS, <sup>1</sup>H NMR and <sup>13</sup>C NMR.</p>
