Abstract

The genus Berberis L., of the family Bereberidaceae, comprises approximately 450-500 species of deciduous evergreen shrubs, found in temperate and sub-tropical regions of Asia, Europe and America. The distribution in the Neotropic is restricted to mountain regions, generally above 2000 m. Forty-two species are endemic to Colombia and the alkaloids (berberine) have been found to have antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. In this study we evaluated the composition of different fractions of extracts of the whole plant from some species of Berberis L. native to Colombia by GC-MS and HPLC/DAD-ESI-MSn
