• Abstract:

  Rue (Ruta graveolens L.) is a plant that is found all year round in the State of Campeche, its leaves are used in the Chenes region and in Champotón for headaches, headaches, or rashes. The results obtained from drying in an oven, in aqueous extract at room temperature are: lactones +, alkaloids +, essential oils +, in hot aqueous extract are: alkaloids +, essential oils +, cardiotonic glycosides +, reducing sugars +; in ethanolic extract at room temperature they are: quinones +, flavonoids +, alkaloids +, essential oils +, reducing sugars +; in the hot aqueous extracts they are: phenols +, tannins +, quinones +, flavonoids +, alkaloids +, essential oils +, reducing sugars +. The presence of flavonoids gives it antioxidant action, the primary amino acids share the ability to polymerize with each other to form proteins. With this information, it is achieved that this resource is valued and that those who have it in their yard keep it for the benefits it offers.
