Phytochemical analysis of the leaves of the mussaenda alicia plant

Resumen

Studies in the area of natural products have been developed with the biomonitoring of their plant
extracts, a fact that improves research on bioactive substances of economic interest. Therefore, there is a
demand for scientific studies involving plants with biological activity, so this practice should be
encouraged, forming a promising and effective path for the discovery of new drugs. These new products
can bring in foreign exchange, in addition to offering opportunities to generate employment along the
production chain, not only in the urban area, but, above all, in the rural area, collaborating for the
deconcentration of income and, therefore, for the interiorization of the development of the Amazon
(SILVA, 2013).
